Two pools, a fitness center, and a clubhouse serve 174 homes across twenty-four low-rise buildings, so the shared spaces rarely feel crowded on a Saturday afternoon. These pet-friendly apartments in Balcones Heights welcome up to two cats or dogs weighing fifty pounds or less, and a neighborhood park sits about two-tenths of a mile south of the property line.

Shared Spaces and In-Home Features at Boston Woods
The amenity list here leans practical rather than ornamental. What follows is what you will actually use in a given week.Two Pools and the Fitness Center
A second pool on a 174-home property changes the arithmetic of a hot afternoon, because you are not queueing for one deck in late July. The fitness center is on site, a short walk from any of the two-story buildings.Clubhouse, Playground, and On-Site Management
The clubhouse handles gatherings that outgrow a living room, and a playground occupies its own space on the grounds. On-site management works from a leasing office open Monday through Saturday, and maintenance requests can be submitted online at any hour.Parking, Laundry, and Everyday Logistics
Covered parking is available alongside off-street parking, worth noting this close to Fredericksburg Road traffic. Laundry facilities are on site, and select layouts include washer and dryer connections.Inside the Apartment Homes
Large closets make these layouts live bigger than the square footage suggests, and extra storage takes the seasonal overflow. Every home has a dishwasher, ceiling fans, central air conditioning, cable-ready wiring, and a private patio or balcony, and select homes add vaulted ceilings.Pet-Friendly Living
The pet policy here is specific rather than vague. Two cats or dogs are permitted per home with a fifty-pound weight limit each, a refundable pet deposit, and monthly pet rent. Breed restrictions apply, and the leasing office keeps the current list.Tour the two pools and the fitness center at Boston Woods this week.
