There’s a reason so many CU Boulder students are drawn to The Hill. Your friends are nearby, plans come together easily, and there’s always something going on. It has the kind of social energy that makes college feel like college.
But loving the lifestyle doesn’t always mean loving the housing.
Older student houses and apartments can come with tight bedrooms, shared bathrooms, limited common space, and layouts that make having everyone over easier said than done. When it comes time to decide where to live next year, students can feel like they have to choose between the community they love and a home that gives them more space, privacy, and comfort.
At The Standard at Boulder, you don’t have to make that tradeoff.
With a large student community, brand-new apartments, private bedrooms and bathrooms, and expansive spaces designed for gathering, The Standard makes it possible to stay connected to the social side of Boulder student life while enjoying a place designed around how students actually want to live.
A Social Scene Built Into Where You Live
The best part of student living isn’t just the apartment. It’s knowing your friends are close.
At The Standard at Boulder, a large community means student life doesn’t stop when you walk through your front door. Friends can live down the hall, upstairs, or just an elevator ride away, making it easy to meet up before class, make spontaneous plans, or get everyone together for the night.
You still get the feeling of being surrounded by other students and plugged into what’s happening, only with more room for everyone.
Live Close to Your People
Living with friends is one thing. Having your wider friend group nearby is another.
The Standard is designed to create a true student community, giving groups more opportunities to live near one another instead of being scattered between different houses, apartments, and blocks.
Meet downstairs. Stop by a friend’s apartment. Get a group together without coordinating rides across town. The community you want is already around you.
Private Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Being social doesn’t mean you want to share everything.
After a full day of classes, studying, activities, and plans with friends, having your own space matters. Private bedrooms and bathrooms give residents a place to recharge without sacrificing the experience of living with roommates and being part of a larger student community.
It’s the balance college housing should have: your people when you want them and your own space when you need it.
More Room to Actually Hang Out
A great location can bring everyone together, but a cramped living room can make hosting difficult.
The Standard gives residents more places to spread out, gather, and spend time together. Expansive amenity spaces extend your living space beyond your apartment, giving you options whether you’re meeting a few friends, getting a larger group together, or just looking for somewhere different to hang out.
Instead of asking whose place has enough room, you already have spaces.
Fully Furnished Student Apartments
The interiors at The Standard at Boulder are designed with a modern, polished feel that still feels comfortable for everyday student life. Apartments come fully furnished and feature stainless-steel appliances, private bedrooms and bathrooms, in-unit laundry, and plenty of space for relaxing or studying.
Resort-Style Amenities
The Standard has a contemporary exterior surrounded by outdoor spaces that take advantage of Boulder’s scenery and active lifestyle. Residents can enjoy multiple courtyards, a heated pool and hot tub, outdoor grilling areas, and easy access to nearby Boulder Creek Park and its open green space.
A Variety Of Layouts
Floor plans range from cozy studios to spacious one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, giving students plenty of options depending on whether they want to live alone or with roommates. Many layouts include private bedrooms and bathrooms, making it easier to have personal space while still enjoying a shared apartment.
