The Boulder rental market
Boulder carries about 108,250 residents, and its rental stock runs to Aurora ranch, mid-century apartment, recent townhome cluster, and modern infill rental. Aurora ranch in Boulder Junction draws a different applicant pool than and modern infill rental in Boulder Gardens, so pricing and marketing flex by submarket.

Tenancy is governed by Colorado Revised Statutes Title 38 Article 12, administered through Colorado Department of Local Affairs Division of Housing, and every placement we run stays inside those rules and federal fair housing law.
How a placement runs in Boulder
A placement in Boulder runs in five steps. We price against live comparable listings and submarket vacancy so the unit lists at a number that moves. We shoot and syndicate the listing where Boulder renters search. We screen every applicant for credit, income, identity, eviction history, and landlord references. We present a short list of qualified candidates, not a pile of inquiries. Then we execute the lease and hand off a clean file. Across Boulder Junction, Boulder Commons, and Crescent, mid-century apartment draws its own applicant pool, and we market to it directly.
