I like living here and don't plan on moving. This is my 2nd year living at Sunpointe Apartments in…read moreEast Vancouver, WA. I chose this complex because of the older buildings, which are bigger than the new apartments they build around town.
When I looked at the unit, I loved the updated paint, and the flooring, they did, and I liked the view too. After moving in, I was impressed because even though it's a large complex, it's safe, the maintenance are on top of things, the grounds are taken care of, the dryer vents have been professionally cleaned yearly, the stairwell railings have been nicely painted, the under-cover, assigned parking is nice and there's always guest parking available. They are smoke free and have a 'stackable' washer & dryer.
The manager stays on top of keeping the community safe, clean and makes sure lease violations get dealt with promptly, so if there's any trouble then it's not put up with here. The parking lot has been in the process of being resurfaced too, and it's such a large complex that different sections have been done each summer. It looks great!
There are 2 mailbox areas because of the size of the complex, and deliveries are accepted in the office as well.
The downsides, are there is only 1 garbage area that gets too much in it at times, but it is locked entry & doesn't take long for the maintenance to organize it better when it overflows. Also, they are expensive with extra required fees and rent unfortunately increases! Also, there is only 1 small hidden area for kids (in between a set of buildings) so if you have small children you'd probably want a unit in that section. There isn't a walking trail or park within walking distance that I know of, but the location shares a fence with the high school fields on one end, which can get noisy, but if you have teens or like sports then it would be great to live in that section of the complex!
There is a sauna, hot tub, and indoor pool (which is pretty shallow), and I haven't used it but I see families in there.
There are a variety of people here, like Families, Singles, Professionals, & dog owners who have the high school field area to go off leash in. I haven't heard any noisy dogs since living here.
I hope this review gives you a good idea of whether or not Sunpointe apartments would be right for you. I feel like it's one of the best kept places in Vancouver, because of the work that the Manager and Maintenance put into making everyone's apartments comfortable, safe homes.
