Basalt has a 4.7 out of 5 rating from resident reviews. Residents rate amenities and shared spaces (5.0) and management (4.4) highest and building quality (4.1) lowest.
Basalt Apartments offers a well-maintained, modern building in a convenient location near transit, shops, and dining, with strong amenities including a rooftop lounge, office spaces, and in-unit washer/dryer. Residents consistently praise responsive and attentive management. Most residents report positive experiences, though one long-term resident noted recurring elevator maintenance issues, thin walls allowing neighbor noise to carry, and occasional lobby odor concerns.
Management staff are consistently praised for professionalism, responsiveness, and helpfulness throughout the leasing and residency process. The application and lease signing process is described as fast and efficient. While most residents report positive interactions with management, one resident noted that repeated noise complaints from a neighboring unit were not resolved despite multiple reports to the property manager.
The property benefits from a highly convenient location near public transit, grocery stores, restaurants, and the Junction neighborhood amenities, with a farmers market accessible on Sundays. Residents consistently praise proximity to daily necessities and describe the area as safe and residential yet vibrant. Easy bus access and walkable nearby services make this location suitable for those prioritizing convenience and transit connectivity.
Residents consistently praise the building's amenities and shared spaces, highlighting the rooftop lounge with views, private workspaces, secure mail room, and in-unit washer/dryer. Common areas including floors and elevators receive weekly cleaning, and the property maintains a clean, well-maintained appearance throughout. Parking is available at an additional cost, and bike storage is ample. The convenient location near public transportation, supermarkets, and local services is frequently noted as a key advantage.
The building features modern finishes and is generally well-maintained, with residents noting clean common areas and well-kept apartments. However, elevator reliability is a significant concern, with one resident reporting over two dozen breakdowns during their lease. Noise insulation is inconsistent—some residents report quiet living conditions while others experienced substantial noise from neighboring units, and management response to noise complaints has been limited.
Basalt is very walkable and not bikeable, and transit is minimal.
