About Citizen
The biggest challenge of living in the Pike/Pine may be deciding how many of the city's best restaurants and shops you can fit into a day. Fresh-out-of-the oven bagels from Eltana, Parisian comfort food at Cafe Presse and inspired vegan fare at Plum... Bistro are just the beginning. Sweet tooth? Satisfy it at High Five Pie, Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream or Cupcake Royale.Then there's the nightlife. Count 'em: 30+ concert venues and late-night spots are within strolling distance. Break free from the headphones and get your music fix the way it was intended - live and in person. From undiscovered talent to national acts, there's a show to catch every night of the week just steps from home.

Love It
Citizen Apartments is in an incredible location—everything you could possibly want is within a few minutes walk, from Trader Joes & QFC, to bars & breweries, restaurants, shops, and green spaces.
Despite being so central, there's never any issue with noise, safety, or loitering.
The staff is super friendly and helpful, they've been great at answering my questions and helping me get settled in when I first moved in.

Nice place to live
Lived at this apartment for almost a year and had a good experience. All the people working there are awesome, Savannah and Rick really went above and beyond. The apartments are on the smaller size but you won’t be disappointed cause there is plenty to do around the area.

Terrible place to live
Management is incompetent to the point of negligence. Fire alarms go off for no reason. Packages end up missing or trapped in the office for obscure reasons w/ no notifications. Basic maintenance is neglected e.g. wd-40 applied front door so it doesn't make a horrific metal screeching sound every time it is opened. Cleanliness of grounds has diminished w/ removal of trash cans in key areas. i.e. trash regularly in elevators that are sticky w/ spilled liquids. It isn't very secure property... as folks from outside can just follow people in.
The staff is rude and disrespectful i.e. almost as though I work for them instead of the other way around. Past management was much much better
