Bella On Broadway

I've been living at Bella for just under a month, and I've been impressed since I first checked it out. Carlos gave me a tour and answered all my questions with a smile. Once I applied, he was very patient, understanding and pleasant, even when I forgot some key tasks during the process.

My apartment has everything I need—space, comfort, privacy, and a fantastic kitchen. It even has a pantry!

Of course, the location is wonderful. Smack-dab between downtown and the Stadium District, there are... plenty of bars, restaurants, coffee shops, parks and more within walking distance.

My only complaint so far—and it's a small one—is the weird pseudo-balcony. You open the sliding glass door and there's nothing to walk out onto! Just a railing and a fence. Weird. Not a huge deal for me, but if you like to hang out outside your apartment, it might be worth considering.

All-in-all, Bella is a great place to live. Read More

In 2022 I had the privilege of living at Bella on Broadway. Since moving back in 2025, my love for the building, its amenities, and the offerings of the surrounding area has grown. Words cannot express how wonderful Tovah and the Bella team are. Shortly after moving in, our dog passed away. The same day Tovah found out, a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card from the staff was delivered. Bella truly cares about its residents and I know you will find there in no place like a home at Bella!

We have enjoyed live here. The maintenance guy Vitaliy is very prompt in responding to maintenance requests and the office staff is very friendly.

They will tell you all the improvements they are working in tour but do not tell you the extent of renovations they are completing with no end date in site. Paying for a place where all the amenities have been ripped out. 1 of the 2 elevators never work, and the stairs is the absolute worst lay out. If you have a pet, keep looking !!!!!

This building is in a great location, and many of the units have fantastic views. Unfortunately, new management took over a few months ago, and it was all downhill. After a bumpy transition to the new team, I decided to move.

Apparently, this management company charges vacating tenants for the cost of makeready for the next tenant. In all of my years renting apartments and condos, as well as serving as a landlord for my in-laws rental property, I have never charged or been charged for the... basic costs of making a unit ready for a new tenant. I have always received my full deposit back, and I never charged a vacating tenant for anything other than damage. Under the new management at Bella, I was charged for cleaning, carpet cleaning, painting, and utilities. My sister's shady apartment manger in Everett did not even do that when she moved.

Prior to moving out, I hired someone who cleans military housing so as to ensure I get my full deposit back; however that was money wasted. And, I left the unit cleaner than it was when I moved in. I have never had to pay or made a tenant pay for painting. I do not quibble much over the carpet, as I had not shampooed it myself. However, a few days after I moved in, the old spots from previous residents had returned (after I had turned in the move-in condition form). When I moved out, the carpet was no worse than when I had moved in. At this point, management has not provided documentation to back up their claim about utilities.

While Bella is in a great location, and many of the apartments have great views, it is not worth the cost of management that will rake you over the coals when you move out. I would urge you to pay a little more for a more updated building with management that doesn't engage in shady practices. Read More
