What Past Tenants Say:

“What I loved about living in this apartment was the respectful community here at the Shannon. It was a quiet place to live in Capitol Hill, but close enough to groceries and all the action on Broadway. It is also incredibly convenient for transit, located near several bus lines and just a 10-minute walk to the light rail.

The owners were great. They maintained open lines of communication and were always quick to respond if we had any needs. We are sad to leave this place, and if we didn't have to, we would have stayed a lot longer. I have nothing but great things to say about this apartment, the building, and the landlords.” – Paulo

“What I loved most about living at the Shannon was the incredible space we had. It provided a quiet home, but we were still close enough to walk to things like coffee, dinner, and drinks in the neighborhood.

This apartment will always hold a really special place in my heart because it's where our family came together. I spent a year pregnant in the unit, and then we had our first year with our baby here. We are always going to have special memories of living in this apartment; it was a great place to start our family's journey.

The owners were also amazing to work with. It was great having a real person to communicate with instead of a property management company. We were speaking with the actual owners of the unit, so whenever any issues came up, we dealt directly with real people.
My family and I loved living here and we are sorry to go, but unfortunately, we just need to find a different spot for our next living situation.” – Leah

"We will miss this apartment dearly, and it will always have a very special place in our hearts. It’s been a dream to live here, and watching the sunsets and the view never gets old. It has been such a pleasure to live here, and we thank you for affording us the opportunity to enjoy this space. Maybe one day we’ll be back!" - Dean

"It has been really lovely to stay in Elisha’s unit. Having a parking spot in a location like Capitol Hill has been a game-changer. Amenities like the downstairs gym, a pool, a sauna, access to a grill, (brand new) in-unit washer and dryer, and the beautiful view have made for the most wonderful place to live, and we will miss it here dearly.

Aside from the condo itself, you can’t ask for a better owner than Elisha. She is incredibly responsive, which you often don’t experience with property managers, and takes a lot of care to ensure that any issues that arise are addressed as soon as possible. We would happily make E11 our home again in the future. Thank you, Elisha! :)" - Lauren

"While being stuck at home all day every day is a little rough (due to COVID), E11 has been a nice place to do it…I love it more than anywhere I've ever lived!" - Peter

"We've really loved this unit and having you as our landlords. Frankly, we're a little sad we can't just stay here forever. Thank you so much." - Corinne

"This is the most amazing place we have ever lived and we are relieved and thrilled to be able to extend our stay!" - Anna
