T
he Habitat Apartments in Gunbarrel is “kind of a big deal.” After all, the one-bedroom apartments at The Habitat at 925 square feet are easily among the roomiest single bedroom apartment rentals in the Boulder area, and the two-bedroom apartments with two full baths at an incredibly reasonable price are a generous 1,200 square feet, a floor plan unequaled in a city known for cramped studios at high costs.
Two- and three-bedroom townhomes at The Habitat are likewise capacious sanctuaries, with the largest at 1,500 square feet featuring a walk-in closet in the master suite, a built-in wood-burning fireplace, a backyard entertaining area and washer and dryer hookups. All units include energy efficient dual pane floor to ceiling windows, three-panel sliding glass doors, and huge patios or balconies, thus ensuring a plethora of natural light. Linen, coat and bedroom closets provide ample -- and for
renters, unusual -- storage. Even The Habitat’s studio apartments are bigger than most at 600 square feet and include regular-sized appliances.
Pet-friendly, generous amenities
“With our recent remodel, many fresh amenities and perpetually pet-friendly
environment, The Habitat is proving that some of the best things -- like plenty of space -- never go out of style,” explained Habitat property manager Cori Batson. Indeed, Habitat amenities are communitybeloved, from the great location on seven rolling acres near a bevy of tech employers and, for pet lovers, an off-leash trail
around Twin Lakes to the stress-free atmosphere enhanced by swaying hammocks, a heated pool, an outdoor kitchen, a community garden and three fire pits in a garden courtyard framed by mature trees. A new parcel room keeps packages safe, and residents appreciate the convenience of the on-site laundry, which offers an app payment option. The Habitat maintains a bicycle repair station at the corner of the property, directly off the LoBo (Longmont to Boulder) trail, to serve the active population, and The Habitat’s Little Free Library is a local sweet spot. “We go out of our way to offer residents the conveniences they desire,” Batson said. “This place truly feels like home.”
