The Boardwalk is a very beautiful, unique building with very enjoyable amenities. Its location is a win/win for the residence as it is conveniently located. Each unit is uniquely designed and the character is most charming. In general the units are reasonably priced for the area and amenities offered. There is a mixed age group of residents, ranging from retirees, empty nesters and young professionals. It is NOT a place to raise a family~ Noise pollution is a definite problem, as sound proofing was not a priority when the building was being renovated.
The general upkeep of the building is lacking, outdated and dirty. Significant updates are needed on the interior as well as the pool and roof top decking. Dust is a significant problem as is noise. The windows are not energy efficient and electric bills are outrageous for the square footage.
Not owning is a HUGE disadvantage, as you are treated poorly. Handbooks with guidelines and rules are not provided, and you are not notified of changes unless the property manager has your email address and chooses to include you.
They consider themselves pet friendly, allowing any breed and size of animal to reside there. Aggressive animals are present unfortunately. Registration of your pet is a must, on a yearly basis although they will not inform you of this, until you are fined $200 for not having them registered. They do not require you to provide proof of vaccinations or licensing of your dog. Designated dog areas are almost comical. The newly developed dog run is nothing more than an oversized litter box which is not sanitized, which leads to animals contracting other animal's illness.
It's a shame that committee of 6 people, making up the board are the primary decision makers, with little or no input offered or allowed by the residence. The rules are outrageous and enforced/not enforced as the committee chooses. Fines are liberally handed out without just cause, seemingly petty, as if they need additional funding to support another whimsical decorating/beautification project. Feedback from the management is lacking, and needs to be properly addressed. Make sure you are provided with a "rule book" upon moving in. You will likely have to pay for it, unless you or the owner supplies you with one.
Overall morale is poor within the community, which is truly a shame as there are wonderful neighbors and residents residing within the community, that are not allowed a voice. read more
