Buffalo Canyon Apartments

I did not appreciate the various violations of housing law. They attempted to change our lease mid-way through our lease period. They also were very shotty with repair work. We had duck taped pipes and the bad repairs lead to flooding in our apartment, which they charged us for. Additionally the pool and hot tub ammenities were closed most of the year. I recommend either choosing elsewhere, or being aware of your tenant's rights so you do not get tricked by their illegal attempt to make more money.

Please look up reviews for Four Star Realty. They're not trying to help tenants, they just want as much money as they can get out of them. It took them months to fix my front door lock, and never did any more maintenance than they thought they were legally required to do. Please look elsewhere.

don't rent from 4 star if you can help it

The management at Buffalo Canyon has steadily declined over the years. Maintenance orders can be put in with action resulting in no fixes or notes of future promises. The complex also has issues regarding insects and rodents.

Walkable to law school, suits needs for first year of law school

The apartments are decent and extremely close to campus. As it is centrally located that is the only reason why I am still renting here. Buffalo Canyon has a tendency to charge your resident's accounts with fees if you are not checking your rent ledger. The response time for maintenance request are slow and the leasing terms are egregious, the Boulder County Council should be ashamed of allowing greedy, corrupt management companies rent to students.

decent price, convenient walking-distance location, small apartments

Very close to campus and the law school, and relatively inexpensive for that. No in-unit AC and ranch-style windows, so during the hotter parts of spring, summer and fall, it can get pretty warm. Conversely, the apartment stays pretty warm during the winters, with little need for the baseboard heating. It's not too noisy, but some undergraduates occasionslly throw a small get-together in a neighboring apartment complex, you'll hear that. Overall, if the price range is right for you, and you can manage a further location, it would be worth your time to go further afield.

Most everything about Buffalo Canyon—location, amenities, apartment quality, atmosphere—have been the best of any of the 3 apartments I’ve lived in. But there are a few downsides. First, it’s a bit expensive, but I feel like one generally gets what they pay for. Second, management is fairly terrible. I’ve had work orders in (broken light bulbs, busted locks) for over a month now and they continually tell me they’ll fix it any day now. Overall, I can deal with this, and I’m fairly happy with the place.

Beautiful space in need of repairs and more responsive maintenance
