Such a convenient location to get anywhere in Boulder and nearby communities. Also great for walking to restaurants, shops, and groceries.
Open air hallways are a huge plus. Super nice staff and maintenance!

My sibling and I have been here for most of a year and it's been a fine place to live as we grow financially. We are both disabled and have had some issues with accessibility and security but residents here are excellent at getting higher management to equip on site management with what they need to help.

My sibling and I have lived here for a few months and the only issue we've had consistently is inaccessibility concerns (particularly re access to parking and our hallway). Despite those, Depot Square has been good for us and we are hoping that once said concerns are sorted it will be the perfect place for us to stay a few years.
