The Boardwalk Apartments

I am a college student and I used to live here with my sister. At first, I thought this place was great because I didn’t have to use my car as much since Stanislaus was nearby. However, their policy sucks because there is only 2 parking space and an additional would be $ 40. What sucks is that my sister had to pay $ 40 and yet, she could not find one parking spot due to other non-​residents parking by the curb or in other parking lots. Not only that, but the TID bill is so expensive! Even though we barely used our electricity, our bill skyrocketed. Also, when our packages are delivered, the UPS/​FEDEX would leave our package outside our door or would toss it in the backyard; which is dumb because people can either steal our package or our package would get damaged. A nice note on the door would be a better option. Another reason is that, water would stop working constantly for a day or more and residents would still have to pay for it. And also, the swimming pool is small and is only 5 feet deep! Not only that, but they take forever to open the swimming pool as well! I remember last summer, they didn’t open the swimming pool until late June when it was super hot outside! When my sister and I moved out, we didn’t even get our deposit back because they blamed us for the mess in the house when damage was already present before we moved in. Also, they charged us for the damage in the toilet when it wasn’t even our fault because on the same exact day of moving, the water somehow stopped working due to an error that the workers made. So not fair! Also, the walls are very thin so you can hear people talking and walking. Our neighbors were also really loud because they would constantly vaccuum at midnight when we were trying to sleep. I forgot to mention this, but rent was $ 1.3k for 3 bedroom, 1 bath, 1 toilet. But when they started to build a fence in our backyard, rent went up to $ 1.5k which is so unfair because the manager told us that we wouldn’t be affected by it since we already lived here before they started building the fences. All lies! Outside also smells like weed too and there are always kids yelling and screaming around 9 PM at the swimming pool area. So if you like to pay $ 40 for a parking space, pay expensive ass TID bills, have your mail stolen or thrown in the backyard, have your water stopped in the middle of the day while you’re doing your buisness, wait til late summer to swim in the pool, get overcharged for what you didn’t do, hear kids screaming in the middle of the night, smell weed outside, OR not receive your deposit, then I highly suggest you to move into Boardwalk Apartments. But if you would like to avoid all the issues I’ve mentioned, then you’re better off finding a better apartment somewhere else because Boardwalk is a rip off!!!

I HATED living here! There were dead cats in the swimming pool. The upstairs neighbor had a German Shepard that they kept locked in a kennel all day so it would try to break out, bark, and cry non stop. My room was INFESTED with carpenter ants, the giant one with wings, and the management told me that I had to wait an entire week because the pest control only come in on certain days. I literally woke up with my body covered in these ants. Things do not get fixed ever. There was never any peace and quiet because of the kids running around screaming all day and college kids partying all night. I scrubbed that place up and down when I moved out and still got barely any of my deposit back.

I’ve lived here for about a year and half and everything about this place is terrible! The units seem nice and reasonably priced but the unit they show vs the unit you will most likely move into will be nothing alike. All of our cabinet work is half-​completed, there is no insulation so in the summer you can’t keep it cool and winter you will freeze! Over the summer months with our ac running it averaged about 85 degrees. Our latest problem is the ceiling leaking throughout the entire apartment and the office said they might not be able to fix it until the summer. Stay away from this place at all costs, terrible parking, management, and living conditions. If you’re a student the convenience of being close to campus isn’t worth it at all!

I’m fed up with this place… They build brand new parking spots. And they block them off so no one parks there because they want you to pay for a $ 40 monthly parking pass for them! Wtf are your serious? College kids take up all the curb side parking so if u want guests to come by. Make sure u tell them to carpool over and park blocks away. The AC units hella suck! Feels more like a fan! If you are lucky to move into the new renovated spots then you will be good except you have to pay hella more to live in them versus the originals spots! Another thing. Your Tid bill will sky rocket here because the older units are not insulated well and during the summer no matter how much u conserve on your AC usage. Your bill will be over $ 200! I can’t wait to move out of this damned awful place! Trust me if you are not a college student… Then get out of this place. There are no benefits to living here. The swimming pool is hella small too and they don’t open it up till hella late in the summer. And to drive out of this place. U can only make a right turn… Good luck everyone… #boardwackapartments

Never get your deposits back. There’s a 40% chance your place will get broken in to. Always adding bullshit charges.
