Parker Landing

The dumpsters are always over flowing and trash is littered everywhere in the area. When you enter you see a recycle bin filled with trash and the whole area around it. Their garbage service misses most people or leave it on the curb. The place looks like a slum. Good luck trying to even find a parking spot. The terrible office staff blame everyone else for their lack of parking.

I've lived at Copper Ridge in Renton for several years, and I only renewed my current lease because of the convenient location to amenities and to where I work. But the pandemic has pretty much made none of that matter anyway.

This property used to be managed by Greystar, and they were excellent. But the past few years it's been managed by Legacy Partners, and they've done an absolutely terrible job. They've let EVERYTHING fall apart, from the covered parking areas, to the laundry rooms, to the... fitness rooms, to the pool.

In the laundry rooms, nearly all of the machines are either broken or don't wash and dry properly, and they're sticky, dirty and just gross--as are the floors, so don't drop any clothes by accident. In the fitness room, one of the treadmills was broken for ten months before they finally got a replacement. Most of the other workout equipment is bent, broken and grimy. The lights in there flicker constantly and the door into the room is damaged to the point where it almost won't close. The entire rec area under the office is shut up now because of the pandemic, so maybe they'll make improvements in the meantime, but I'm not counting on it.

The current management also put new doors on the common areas, and they don't have locks, so nothing is secure like it used to be with Greystar. And soon after the doors were put in, of course, this specific apartment complex was covered on KIRO-7 News. It was story about a guy breaking into apartment laundries and stealing money from machines. Management did not let the residents know about that situation, so I only found out about it from reading the news online.

Also, back when the pandemic started, the managers sent out a notice requesting that everyone wear masks while out in the parking lot until further notice. But today I was out walking (with my mask on) and there were some maintenance guys walking around and driving golf carts NOT WEARING MASKS. Talk about hypocritical....

One last thing--the industrial light bulb outside my front door burned out a while back, and I asked the managers several times to have it replaced. It's in a shared area so it's their responsibility to maintain. But they never replaced it, and the stairway leading up to my unit would be pitch-black at nighttime. That's technically a safety hazard that the management is ON THE HOOK FOR. I finally went to the hardware store myself and screwed a new bulb in because I was so frustrated.

I do not recommend renting here. Read More

We've lived here for 4 years and 3 different companies have owned the property. Newest office staff is by far the worst so far. The water heater broke and we had to wait 3 weeks to have it replaced. If you move here don't bothet calling the office, just show up. It'll still take at least 3 visits to have anything done though. Overall, comfortable apartment but staff sucks! Time for us to consider moving.

I wouldn't move to Copper Ridge because it filled with bed bug.

We lived here for 2 years before moving out this month to buy a place. Strengths of Copper Ridge are a very responsive staff, great pet policy, quiet location within walking distance of a few stores and bus stops, great pool, recently updated gym. Apartments are not luxurious, but the rent is good value for the area. Seems to be a high turnover in staff, so keep track of all your paperwork, especially if you ask for a special accommodation. We took that a bit for granted and had to scrabble a... bit on checkout. Read More
