I have lived at these apartments for the past 4, going on 5, years and my experience has been all…read morearound fantastic. This is the best place I have lived so far in Olympia. At Bayview the rent is cheap by Olympia standards and the utility cost low, the buildings are extremely clean and well maintained, the landscaping and overall maintenance is top notch. There is an on-site repair person who is very responsive to any difficulties I have had (which have been very few). The apartment manager is also very helpful and responsive, in addition to being a genuinely nice person. The people who live here are for the most part very nice and/or keep to themselves. I have never felt unsafe here, although there has been an occasional car break-in or bike stolen over the years. The buildings themselves are well lit at night. The only downsides would be if you are loud and/or like to have lots of people over frequently. Most of the apartments house single residents, and the owners like to keep things quiet/low key. Also, because the apartments are so clean to begin with, there is a good chance you will not get all of your deposit back- which I have heard people complain about. Honestly, I consider it a fair trade off when all is said and done- I have lived in many a moldy, dingy Olympia rental and this place has zero mold issues and is cleaner than any place I have lived in. I highly recommend this place!

I currently live here in a 3 bed/ 2ba unit - bldg 3808. They will not tell you that the complex…read moreisn't smoke free upfront, so I will. Do you have asthma, COPD, other respiratory problems, children, or merely just want to breathe clean air? DO NOT MOVE HERE. The entire complex is NOT SMOKE-FREE. They DO NOT have ANY designated smoking areas or any buildings that are smoke free. Inside the unit, aside from one small ceiling fan located in the dining area, no other forms of ventilation exist. You must open windows and doors. * My Summer Experience * Imagine that it's 90 deg in the summer, you have your windows open. Your neighbors begin smoking on their patios and in front of their unit. You're trying to get a cross draft in but the smoke from cigarettes and pot, along with who knows what is billowing through the windows and infiltrates the entire unit. You, the nonsmoker, are forced to shut your windows so you can breathe and its 90 degrees! And, you've explained the situation to everyone - the owner, your neighbors, the onsite personnel, and property management, but they don't offer remedies or make changes. * No Response From Owner or Agent* I've contacted Dan Cyr, Dancyr42@gmail.com, the owner of the complex who can illicit this change, along with the attorneys office, Winslow Law Group, who is listed as the registered agent, but neither respond. * Solution - Breaking of the Lease * The only remedy offered to me, as I was picking up mail in the office, was to break my lease but made no mention of a fee. Later that night, I emailed the management office my intent to vacate early. Because i hadn't received a response from management, I texted the onsite office 3 days later asking if they received my intent to vacate. Lisa, who works onsite, said they never received it and I would be charged $1700 for early termination. Later, she said, that I'd have to pay through my lease and they would credit back to when a new tenant moves in - my lease expires 10.31 so they would have $3,400 regardless if I vacated early or not. Mind you, it takes weeks before maintenance completes a work order so it's laughable to think they'd show my unit any sooner. They would already have Sept and Oct rent so why would they show the unit? * Expense to Vacate Unit Early * Let me breakdown the huge expense IMPOSED ON ME. If I vacated now, I'd have to pay for another rental, lets say $2k for September, another $2k for October, plus admin fees of $300 and sec dep of $500,, plus $3,400 for this unit from September- October. That's over $8.000. All of this so that I could breathe without congestion and coughing from smoke. And this was the only solution they offered to me from the office! * Contact from Management Office * Mike, from the Management Company, Olympic Management (OMC) raised his voice at me. I was attempting to answer his question but he cuts me off and i explain that i wasnt finished. He then raised his voice and yells at me that I was done speaking and it was his turn. Well, I am not the type of woman who will allow anyone unable to control their emotions to speak to me in this manner. If you value your health and peace, go elsewhere. Plus the area is very sketchy! Don't go on the trail!

I honestly have no complaints about Trailside Apartments! We originally moved in when the apartment…read morecomplex was owned by a different company. A few months later, it was bought out, and renamed. They immediately started working on upgrades, including repainting the buildings and adding an on-site office. Unfortunately, with the upgrades also came a price increase, but that is to be expected! Rent: * Payment is due on the 1st of the month, and considered late on the 6th. You can pay with a personal check, money order, or using their new online payment portal. * Most of the time, there is a wait list for these beautiful apartments, so get on the wait list ASAP! * For a two bedroom apartment, we payed $990/month. Rent does not include electric, and any cable or internet you may have. * They offer a six month, nine month, and yearly lease. They also offer month to month for an additional $50/month. Pets: * These apartments are pet friendly! * There is a $400/one time pet deposit. Caged animals do not require a deposit. * Last time I checked, there was a 20lb weight limit on dogs, but I have see some pretty large pups around the property, so they may have changed it. I would suggest checking with Lisa for clarification. Apartments: * The kitchen was my favorite part of the apartment. It was large, with lots of cabinets, drawers, and counter space! * There is a small back patio and strip of grass for the ground floor apartments. 2nd floor apartments have a balcony. * There is a washer and dryer in the unit. * Extra storage units on the pack porch/balcony. * Check out the pictures in the photo album! Office: * Office hours are 8am-5pm, Monday-Saturday. They are closed on Sunday. * The staff is super friendly, and Lisa is the sweetest ever! Maintenance: * Brian is the maintenance man, and he is fantastic! * For any emergency issue, you call call the 'emergency maintenance' number, and he is over in a snap! Any other issues, you put in a work order at the office, and he is usually over within 24 hours, unless he has to order parts. Neighborhood: * Neighborhood is a little rough when driving down the street, but Trailside Apartments is like the bright ray of sunshine at the end of the road! * They have security cars do random drive-bys at all hours of the night, just to check out the area. So don't panic if you see a patrol car roll by! * You will occasionally get a crabby neighbor, which unfortunately we had to deal with. But that risk comes with any living area. The majority of our neighbors were sweet as can be! * There is an entrance to the Chehalis Western Trail right next to the apartment complex. It's a beautifully paved, 20+ mile trail - perfect for biking, jogging, and walking your dogs. There is also a small playground near the office! Military: * They do have a military clause, so in case you get orders to PCS, you won't be charged for breaking the rental agreement! We lived here for just over two years, and only moved because my husband was stationed elsewhere. But I'd recommend these beautiful apartments to everyone!

I'm not even sure where to start with this place. We have issue after issue with these apartments…read morethat, quite honestly, they are really not worth the money. The first issue that is recurring and very much a problem is the "oh don't worry man, we'll take care of it later" mentality. This has led to a lack of communication as well as important things not being taken care of when needed. We specifically waited nearly three months for our microwave to be replaced. As well as the rear gate to the building being down for 7+ months and upon repair, we really didn't get a notified. Inspections are not a week notice as they should be. They slap a paper on your door the day before. The worst one yet was giving us a last-minute notice that if we park in our ASSIGNED PARKING while roofers are replacing the roof of our building, we will be towed. (Dear Residents, Due to roof work being conducted on the F building, all the parking spaces surrounding the building will be prohibited from use until further notice. This includes carport spaces and visitor/guest parking. All cars currently parked in these spots will need to be moved by 8AM NOVEMBER 15, and if any vehicle is parked there, until notified otherwise, the vehicle will be IMMEDIATELY TOWED. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding. Please contact the management office with any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Abbey Rowe Apartments Management) We got that notification on the afternoon of the 14th. Hours prior. Parking here is already poor, as they only have one assigned parking spot per unit. So if your spouse is also looking for work, they have to fight with the 100 other unassigned residents that make their homes here. On top of that, parking for building G, for example, is in front of building F, so then taking away parking for people living in building F. Even worse, people on the 3rd floor are forced to park the furthest from their unit. Parking is just overall disorganized per unit. This all is a very irresponsible management procedure improper use of their position. The last other issue or set of issues is just that they have no sense of inforcing the rules they have set and stated on their agreements. No dogs over 50 lbs? Well, 90% of the dogs here are over 50 pounds and make #2's bigger than a person. To top that, no one picks up after their animals. They have a company that comes out and picks it up once a week. But that's not enough, considering there are at least 70 dogs here that go twice a day. Also, they have restrictions against housing certain dogs. Which they don't follow either. Their website, last i checked, states no Doberman, Shepard, Rottweilers, or pitt bulls. But half of the dogs here, by fact, are those dogs. Another problem yet is the noise ordinance. There is a local noise ordinance of 10pm when all noise is supposed to be below a certain volume by decibel. And every night for the first four months, we had reported our bass booming neighbors, and the office had done nothing after we've stayed there for two years. We just gave up after a certain point and have been more and more disappointed with how these owners manage things as time went on. I would avoid the apartments across the street at The Madison as well. They are governed by the same people, and I've heard the same complaints from renters across the street. So, especially if you get stationed at Fort JBLM, I recommend you either get on base housing if available or stay in Tacoma. Apartments in Lacey are just not ready to accommodate soldiers and their families.

They have recently had all roofs replaced on the apartments. Indoor heated pool is kept clean but I wouldn't think of it as heated. You are still shocked when you enter the water because it is cold. I have never used the tanning bed. I believe they change the bulbs in the tanning bed every year but I've never used it, not sure about actual condition. The dog park ( advertised amenity) is never cleaned by the grounds keeper (asked 8 times over 2 months). He thinks picking the poop bags out of the basket is cleaning it... Hello, what about all the poop left by bad pet owners. Yes, the dog owners need to clean up after their pet but when you pay $1200.00 every month for just rent and sewer, I think the grounds keeper could break out a dog poop scoop and actually clean the grounds. The ceilings on the outsides of your front door could have been pressured washed at least every 2 years to avoid the major dead bugs stuck all over (Asked 3 times in year and has not happened yet), horribly old refrigerators and ovens without oven clean option (had no idea they made oven /o this option in 2015). Extremely cheap carpeting that lifts after just 3 months of installation. Black Lake could be much better if the upper management actually cared ( upper management is not the staff located here but the owners and partners of this establishment). They have random ice cream hand outs for the children during the summer months. The location to I-5 , Buffalo Wild Wings and Trader Joes is great. All of the staff are friendly. We have had no problem with theft and feel safe enough to leave our home unlocked. Our neighbors watch out for each other. If your trying to get on your feet and have pets, this place can be great beginnings when relocating from other states or areas. It would be better if they offered 3 and 6 months leases like Breckenridge and Breckenridge heights but dogs are not allowed at many apartments so its a compromise. Regarding other tenants experiences with mold, We are in Washington State and it is something that you may have to deal with. We have never had a mold issue but I could appreciate the frustration if you ended up in a apartment that had it.
