The management and staff do not respond to phone calls and emails. The walls, flooring, and ceiling are thin and you can hear people from other apartments talk, their phone alarms, when they relieve themselves, when they flush the toilet, etc. There is no Air Conditioning (AC) and no pool. You will need to keep your windows closed if you have an atrium/view unit because you can hear conversations, dogs barking, etc. The apartment entrance doors have gaps on the sides and you can see light… coming in from the hallway and can see people walk in the halls. The appliances are the lowest/cheapest name-brand kind. Thus, the washer machine destroys clothes and towels (tearing/shredding). The dishwasher is rough and chips dishes and glasses. The two (2) kitchen lights are specialty and have been out for the past seven (7) months and no replacement. The parking costs around $150.00 a month and the complex is not in Seattle metropolitan city limits. The parking garage is not secure and you will have to pay a monthly security fee. There is no guest parking (Except after hours). Also, it took likely a half a year to fix the multiple parking garage gates and one (1) is still broken. This complex does not reimburse or provide discounts for non-working features/amenities. As a suggestion, look past the staff being charismatic as you likely may not be happy if you sign a lease/contract. If management/staff 'do' respond, they will likely not like the truth and indisputable documentation/evidence. Read More

Had to move out unexpectedly due to a domestic issue with my ex. Ended up paying out to break the lease all on my own. They "lost"my final bill money order. So, I sent them a new one and made them sign for it. Low and behold, the first one gets cashed a few days later. They still haven't given me a refund and it's been 4 months since I payed my final bill.

It's a new building, but not a great place to live. Pictures and the tour will look nice, but issues come up when you actually move in.

Neighbors here are constantly smoking, and management won't/can't do anything about it. Makes it hard to get fresh air during the hot summer. Packages get stolen, and the elevators and the garage door are always braking down. Parking is an issue even if you pay for it as people will take your spot and you can't call to get it towed yourself. Folks will hold… loud get togethers in the courtyard and trash the place, and management will limit amenities in response.

If that wasn't worse enough, water got shut off with no warning a few times, and we've had to evacuate three times in the last 6 months because people keep tripping the fire alarms. One time, an entire floor got flooded and it took them 4 months to replace the carpet. If you try to bring things up with management it's a 50/50 chance you get talked down to like a child. It's the kind of interaction that make you hate the fact that you signed a lease.

The apartment itself is decent. Things are new and clean, conveniently located, fast internet, nice maintenance staff, and great gym. But the place is mismanaged and full of inconsiderate people. Really depends on personal tolerance, but I'd recommend looking elsewhere. Read More

This apartment has only 6 spots for guest parking and it is only available from 5pm to 8am next day after management team leave. It is an absolutely anti-visitor community.
