Review of Boylan Apartments

This apartment building is very old, built almost 90 years ago. For some people like me that is a huge plus and for others that is something they would like to avoid. There aren't a lot of modern amenities and the unit shows its age in some good and bad ways. For example, there are not a ton of electrical outlets, however the walls are very thick and the unit does not feel cheaply built like many newer apartments built in this area. The floors creak a bit, so you can hear if someone above you is walking around but it is not overly distracting. My only downside would be the laundry room facility costing $2.25 for a wash and dry, which adds up quickly. The best aspect for me in living here is the proximity to the school, allowing me to walk to class in around 15 minutes. I moved here from the Shelton Apartments about 200 yards up Morgan Street which I could not recommend less. Dilapidated, overpriced, poorly maintained units.

This neighborhood is wonderful. There is a small strip with restaurants, a hair salon, yoga studio, and other shops connected to the apartment complex. Cameron Village is just around the corner and an easy drive or walk! There is easy access to all major roads in Raleigh. Downtown and Crabtree are each within 10 mins drive, and North Hills is only 15 mins away! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming and the neighborhood feels very safe at all times. There is also easy access to bussing off Oberlin Road.

Harris Teeter is directly beside the apartment and the district has many great restaurants. There are also great stores for clothing or other items such as books (Barnes and Nobles).

I feel pretty safe in this neighbor. I go on a lot of walks and runs in the area. However, I do try to take my dog out before it gets too dark/too late

A block off Glenwood South is great. Smoky Hollow nextdoor is about to open with more shopping and dining. Only a 12 minute walk up to Campbell, or 15 minutes to get to Fayetville Street and the rest of downtown.

I live right across from St Mary’s and it’s great to be able to walk to school and everywhere downtown Raleigh!
