PROS:
*Excellent floorplan
*Very large master bedroom and living room
*Adequately sized second bedroom
*Galley style kitchen with look through into the living room
*They are one of only two apartment complexes in Nashua that allow dogs
*Ample parking as long as you are home before 7:00pm
*Staff was always respectful
*The rent was very fair for the amount of square footage
*Very convenient location - supermarket right across the street, highway less than 1/4 mile away
*Playground areas for children which are generally kept clean
*Swimming pool and fitness center
*Maintenance staff responded promptly to requests and were usually able to fix the problem in one trip.
*The hot water heater was large enough that it allowed us to take 25 minute showers without running out of hot water.
*Dishwasher
*Small security deposit required
*Minimal pet fees
*Air conditioner wall unit is old but still very efficient. Combined with a window unit in the bedroom at the other end of the apartment, our appartment was very cool all summer.
*Landscaping and the outsides of the buildings are very well maintained.

CONS:
*The windows are EXTREMELY drafty.
*The heater in the master bedroom did not work all winter. BUT we never asked maintenance to repair it. I cant speculate on whether it would have been repaired.
*The "secure" door in the entrance of the building was easily opened without a key by merely pulling the handle on numerous occassions.
*No washer/dryer in the units, and only one washer and dryer per floor although there are at least 8 apartments on each floor.
*There is ZERO flexibility in the lease terms. We were charged a "lease termination fee" of more than $3,300 to break our lease PLUS we had to continue paying rent for another 2 months due to the 60 day required notice.

OVERALL:
*I can't really hold the lease termination thing against them because we signed a legal contract to live there for 18 months and moved out after only 13. They are a large complex run by a corporation - they are not swayed by individual circumstances like a landlord would be. That is the price you pay when living in a complex.
*We put up very heavy curtains on all the windows and that definitely helped with the draftiness of the windows.
*We used a space heater to cancel out the broken heater in the master bedroom.

Those were the only major problems we had with the apartment, so I would definitely recommend Boulder Park to people if they are willing to perform similar remedies and are certain they will not need to break their lease.

We broke our lease because we bought a house.

If the pros outweighed the cons, then why did you break your lease?

I checked this complex out, and I am very glad I did not take the bait....
