I lived at Boulder Park for 5 years and in that time I saw my rent go up a lot; ownership change hands and it went from bad to worse. The unit was old with horrible appliances, drafty windows, thin walls and so on. It got so bad I heard a female outside my window at 2:00 am urinating in the bushes. The place had a lot of problems. Heating system was something that was left over from the Flinstones TV show, it got so bad that they had to get scrap parts from other apartments to fix what was wrong in our unit. The front office staff were very rude, especially the manager who I had words with on more then one occasion.
When tenants moved and it was a lot, I'd congratulate them on moving on and saw many who were very happy to move on. I was very happy to get out of there and live in a better place that was quiet and had good neighbors and actually had parking.
If you can own vs. rent the differences are night and day. Boulder Park showed me that dealing with a large management organization was not worth it. Being in the management business myself for many years on the non-profit side if the manager there worked for me. Seeing what I saw they would have been fired on the spot.
