Apartment Description
Welcome to The Lotus, a premier CU Boulder off-campus housing community that takes student living to the next level. Located right next to the University of Colorado Boulder at 900 28th Street, The Lotus offers spacious, stylish apartments, a curated... collection of luxury amenities, and the kind of location that makes navigating college life in Boulder effortless. For students who want more than a place to sleep between classes, The Lotus is where college living becomes something to look forward to every single day.
THE APARTMENTS
The Lotus offers two, three, and four-bedroom furnished apartments, each thoughtfully designed to blend comfort, functionality, and modern style. Private bedrooms come with individually lockable doors for personal space and security, and most floor plans pair private bedrooms with private bathrooms for maximum privacy. Walk-in closets, a fully equipped kitchen with microwave, range, refrigerator, and dishwasher, and an eat-in bar area create a kitchen that's designed for cooking. The common living spaces are outfitted with comfortable furniture, and in-unit washers and dryers mean laundry happens when you decide - not when the machines are available.
Monthly rent packages at The Lotus include cable, internet, gas, water, sewer, and garbage removal, so utilities are consolidated and predictable. No surprise bills at the end of the month, just a simple, all-inclusive living experience. The building's private courtyard, modern finishes, and attention to detail throughout make The Lotus feel less like a student apartment and more like a well-designed urban retreat.
COMMUNITY AMENITIES
The Lotus is built around the idea that student living should be genuinely great, not just adequate. The next-level fitness center is fully equipped for everything from cardio to strength training, available around the clock so your schedule doesn't have to bend to the gym's hours. The study lounge provides a quiet, distraction-free environment for powering through assignments, case readings, or exam prep, and the on-site coffee station ensures you're always fueled for whatever the academic day demands.
Step outside into the private courtyard, and you'll find a welcoming outdoor space with grilling areas, the perfect setting for spontaneous hangouts, weekend barbecues, or a casual evening with neighbors that quickly becomes a tradition. The Lotus is also pet-friendly, so your four-legged companion is part of the community too. Parking is available for residents, and the community's on-site team is committed to maintaining a responsive, well-maintained living environment that students are proud to call home.
LOCATION
At 900 28th Street, The Lotus places you 0.3 miles, a 5-minute walk, from CU Boulder's main campus. It's close enough to bike to class in under five minutes, far enough to enjoy the feeling of having your own space. The Baseline Sub neighborhood surrounds the community with groceries, dining, coffee shops, and retail, while NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory, Fiske Planetarium, and the Boulder Creek Path are all within easy reach for science enthusiasts and outdoor lovers alike. University Hill, with its lively bar and restaurant scene, is just a short ride away, and Downtown Boulder's Pearl Street Mall offers world-class dining, shopping, and live events year-round.
The Lotus is ideally positioned for students who want the best of both worlds: the convenience of living steps from CU Boulder's campus, and the freedom and comfort of a private, fully-equipped luxury apartment. For Buffaloes looking for a home that matches the ambition and energy they bring to everything else, The Lotus is where that journey begins.

Be wary of the staff.
The apartments themselves are nice, but the staff really drags this place down fast. When I first moved in 2 years ago they lost half of the complex's paperwork, anywhere from insurance papers to guarantor signatures. Then after getting settled in, they tried to force 2 of my roommates to move and split us up because they messed up and put 2 random groups of people together in the same unit that they were not supposed to be. They are also in charge of receiving and distributing packages but even after you pick it up, you keep getting texted daily for the next week because the office staff is too lazy to actually log the packages. They try once a month to sell you on a utility program called "simple bills" that basically just adds a 10% "convenience fee" to your electric bill.
One major issue though is all the ground level units have extremely exposed decks, which means if you have anything on it at night it will be stolen. Bikes, chairs, grills, tables, backpacks, signs, and flags were all stolen off of decks in my time at the Lotus. But dont expect the office staff to help you, as long as your rent is on time, they dont care about their residents.

Nice for college students and close to campus
It is what it is. Looks very nice but cheaply built so some stuff falls apart, but at least they'll come fix things eventually. It's not too noisy on this side of campus and it's great for business or engineering students.
