Boardwalk at Alafaya Trail

Every apartment complex by university has its ups and downs. But one thing for certain is this complex is immensely well taken care of every morning by maintenance in the rain, cold, and most hot/humid of days. The dedication of the workers shines through to make this place welcoming to students in this small forested retreat.

It was the last place I stayed at in college, and it was my favorite. The management was super nice and accommodating, and the prices were affordable. As for the furniture, it was relatively luxurious, not just the cheapest thing from Ikea. The location is tucked away from all the traffic of Alafaya, and I would recommend this place to anyone who can't afford these new "luxury" places. Edit: I should also mention the maintenance guys were always friendly, and I never had any security concerns (as a guy).

For the price you get a nice sized room, living space and kitchen. The maintenance guys are great they work hard to fix up appliances and for me my bathroom til its close to brand new and they keep the landscaping well kept

I lived at Boardwalk for 2 years now so Im going to keep it real. Depending on the room you have, itll be big or small (I think room A and B have the most space). Unfortunately, I had bedroom D (right by the kitchen). Closets are small. If youre apartment is in the back, parking is terrible. You have to come home early just to secure your spot, otherwise youll be parking all the way in the front of the complex and have to walk which isnt convenient especially if youre a woman and its late out. Theres a gate but its broken and always open. Bugs are present, especially roaches. If you live on the first floor, frogs are right by your front door when it rains. Mold is present in the units too. There is one incident where water from the kitchen sink overflowed so bad, it flooded my room with carpeted flooring. The smell was so bad because stuff from the garbage disposal was mixed in there too. Instead of replacing my carpet, they just put a big loud fan in my room for weeks so my carpet would dry. I was stepping on wet carpet for weeks. That is when I knew that the manager didnt care about what goes on with the residents. Boardwalk has honestly been known for its affordability, its spacious living room that comes with a TV, big dresser w/ a mirror attached, and its queen sized beds but dont be fooled. Rent is increasing and NO renovations are being made. You might as well find a decent apartment around the same price elsewhere. Im glad Im moving out.
