This is my second time living at The Boulders. I lived here from 2011-2014 and just returned to Amherst in July of 2021. The price is decent for Amherst for the amount of space offered, along with the heat being included in rent, 24/7 emergency maintenance, ample parking, bus route access, etc. The on-site staff are pleasant and helpful.
HOWEVER, the actual company that runs the place is kinda sleazy. There is a privacy policy that requires you to allow them to give access to your contact info to third party companies and there's no way to opt out of that clause. They require rental insurance

There are many other apartments nearby, which are more worthwhile considering. There was weird smell inside the building. Interior and appliance were old. Transportation to UMass is not the easiest, and it is relatively far from the school. The rental office staff were not friendly, especially when one tenant was moving out and leaving the other(s) behind. As international students, we found it challenging to communicate with the staff smoothly. Seriously, miscommunication should not have been there.

Ashley was amazing with the entire application process. I had a unique situation that required me emailing her back and forth over the course of a few weeks and she was extremely patient and helpful. If it wasn't for her my roomate and I would not have been approved to live here. Very thankful for the great staff during the initial processes.

A review! I am an international graduate student with family! The Application process was well facilitated by Jennifer, who explained me everything I need to know about the lease contract. Moving process was very informal, they only gave me a folder with the keys without any explanation about the entire property. I had to find by myself where is the laundry, the trash deposit, etc, but this is a minor thing. We have been living here for three months, the apartment is a nice size even for a family like mine. The carpeting was brand new! The payment service and maintenance request is through a Northland

It has been a great place to live. The management has helped us in every way by accommodating and helping us with any due process with respect to any document. The rent is also affordable in the area and the facilities such as gym etc are also quite helpful to have.
