What I like about Boardwalk Apartments is there's a lot of freedom. The staff is pretty good and if there's any maintenance that needs to be done, they do it right away. There's a courtyard if you're on the first floor and it's close to the bus transit. There are several bars and restaurants around, too. I just don't like the way the building is laid out, but that's not something they can do anything about it.

Boardwalk Apartments was right downtown. I liked it. They have a brand-new apartment building. It was clean inside. I saw a one-bedroom, and it was kept up pretty well.

I love Boardwalk Apartments. I feel safe and secure here because the outside doors are always locked. It's also a very comfortable and very clean facility. My place had new carpeting, nice floors, and everything is brand new. It's just beautiful. The staff is really good and very helpful whenever you have any problems or questions. The baseboard heater in my bedroom wasn't working, and they came right away, checked it and found out that whoever lived here before, disconnected the wiring inside the heater. They reconnected the heater, and it was fine. The maintenance is right on top of everything, and I have no complaints about them. Sometimes, it's hard to get a hold of the staff, but once you get a hold of them, they're helpful and they'll work with you. The community room is closed because of the pandemic. I've been here since the 21st of November, and I haven't been able to socialize with anyone or met people, except when you see them in the hallway or much of them are coming in and out of the door. I think it has a fair price, and I highly recommend it to anyone.

I live here. Noisy homeless shelter across the street. Noisy trash trucks in the early morning three days a week. Noisy water treatment plant nearby. Noisy construction in area. One maintenance man for several hundred units in Lakewood and Olympia means it takes a month of nagging to get a repair done in an apartment. Management is overburdened. Buildings are eighteen years old and run down due to little preventive maintenance. Two stars for friendly community.

The only place we went to was the SHAG Boardward Apartments in Olympia, and that was really nice, nice facility. I viewed it only, it looked really nice, I even drove by, and that was really what’s going to be the next step if we needed it -- to use that facility -- but we didn’t need it. It was clean, nice, and didn’t smell at all. They were really good and the location was perfect.
