A good option for new families
I’ve lived in a half dozen rentals or so over the past decade, and Jadwin Stevens Apartments is a decent and pretty affordable option for singles, couples, and starter families (my husband and I have an infant).
Pros:
- Near PNNL (a ten minute commute for my husband) and on bus lines. You are in the center of Richland and could walk to the grocery store, the Columbia River, and church in a half hour or less.
- The area seems safe and very family friendly- I see kids getting themselves to and... from school often when I take our baby out for walks
- The two pools are great perks (loved being able to cool off when I was heavily pregnant!)
- Maintenance is very prompt and the front office staff are friendly
- Central AC and heat! On-site laundry :)
Cons: (have to be honest)
- Our kitchen layout is not convenient; maybe other apartments in the complex are more spacious, but I had more room working in the kitchen of a 500 sq. foot condo I rented a couple years ago than our two bedroom layout currently
- There are stray cats that roam about here
- You can hear your neighbors is there are children running, jumping, crying, or yelling; again, I have a baby, so I tolerate that kind of thing more than someone else might.
Conclusion:
We are planning to renew our year-long lease and will likely stay here throughout my husband’s postdoctoral stint at PNNL.
