Leasing
Securing a spot is easy and can take less than 20 minutes. First, start an application by clicking “Apply” in the navbar above or by reaching out to our staff. Then, complete all required fields and actions on the Online Application and invite your Guarantor to complete their items. Finally, complete the Electronic Lease for both you and your guarantor. From there, a background and credit check will be run for you and your guarantor, and upon passing our screening criteria, you will receive an email or text message that you are successfully locked in for the school year!
Signing up early grants residents access to a number of limited perks and benefits including preferred rates (which rise as the year goes on), access to on-site parking, and prized floor plans and unit types. Call today to talk with our team about availability.

All residents living at Boathouse Apartments must have an active renter’s insurance policy submitted to the property staff before move-in. If you need help, Boathouse makes it easy for you to enroll through our Master Policy, or you can bring your own proof of coverage with your Insurance Carrier. If you choose to provide your own proof of coverage, the following requirements are as follows: Property Liability coverage must cover a minimum of $100,000; Boathouse Apartments must be added as an Interest 3rd Party; you must include both the Boathouse address and your Unit Number upon registration.
