Overall a nice/comfortable place to rent but potential to be so much nicer. I rented here for 7…read moreyears in a couple different units, so I can give a pretty balanced/accurate assessment of the place. Pros: clean/modern units with good (but not luxurious) finishes, great views (from some units and roof top), feels solidly built (concrete pillars visible, mostly good sound insulation), nice gym, really nice 360 degree roof top deck, good initial value with move-in specials (before inevitable rent increase) Cons: excessive rent escalation, weak security, extremely tightly packed parking garage. poor communication from maintenance crew, poorly responsive/disorganized and at the same time unreasonably inflexible management. When I first moved in l, I occupied a lower floor unit for a somewhat reasonable $1800/mo. Because of excessive noise from the trash compactor activating at night, I eventually moved to a higher floor with a pretty nice view of Elliot Bay for about $2100/mo. After 7 years my rent was $3400 (and rising) even though the advertised rent for an equivalent unit on a higher floor was $1000+ less (even before move-in concessions). At various points I tried to negotiate some compromise on price to make it more fair. I wasn't asking for a full price reduction. I then asked for waiving parking/storage unit fees (~$50/250) for even 6 months. No budging at all. During Covid when many people weren't paying rent, I tried again to make my rent at least somewhat closer to advertised rent again asking for minor concessions. No budging at all, even after being a good tenant on autopay for 4+ years, there was no recognition for my loyalty. I stayed for 3 more years because I hate moving, I could afford it, and was unsure of my future plans. At one point when I was pretty serious about buying a place I switched to month to month for $3800/mo at the end of my lease. This was around the time that interest rates suddenly jumped and it seemed like the housing market was going to crash. I quickly realized I wouldn't be ready to buy a place for at least a few months. Within literally a few days of signing the month to month, I asked to switch to a 6 month lease at the lower rate. I was then told that I would be locked in at the higher rate for 5 months. This was when I realized I either needed to move to a different apartment or buy a place on my own terms. At around the same time, two of the three elevators were out of service for the second time of several months (6 mo?) at a time as well as the garage door broken for the umpteenth time also for months at a time. There was no reduction in rent due to these major inconveniences. As a result of the garage door being open for several months, several times, both my car and my storage unit were broken into. Personal insurance only partially covered those losses. Again no concessions for these losses were offered. Maintenance teams overall were good at fixing things. Emergencies (plumbing leaks) were responded to quickly. There is even an on-site maintenance person who lives in the building. However when putting in a semi-urgent but non-emergent maintenance issue, no updates/communication was made for up to a week. Thus I would waste all day waiting for maintenance to show up. The garage is super tight getting in and out of, with not enough room for cars to pass through both ways at the same time. Some of the parking spaces are super tight. Others are very wide. For some reason, priority is not necessarily given to bigger cars. To sum up. Nice place to live but a lot of negatives to deal with. And expect to pay a lot more if you stay longer than a couple years.

Emergency maintenance is a bunch of rude men who'd rather argue on the phone than come out to do a job they're getting paid for. They shut off the power to the AC units for my entire stack of apartments because one resident leaked and 1) didn't tell us and 2) left us without AC the entire weekend as it's "not an emergency since the weather is temperate..." They are trying to raise the rent on this poorly managed complex & I urge you to look elsewhere to avoid the constant inconvenience of living in Cascade apartments.

Sharing a parking lot with Whole Foods and Bartells is a huge connivence. Nearby parks of Ravenna/ Cowen and Green Lake offer many options for a refreshing nature experience. Points to consider: - The roof deck is awesome, but people let their (sometimes very poorly trained) dogs off leash up there. My fiancé is afraid of dogs and didn't really utilize the roof because of this. This is understandably hard for Square One staff to address. - No A/C in the units which is becoming more necessary thanks to the hotter Seattle summers. We purchased two lower model portable AC units and black out curtains for our 2 bedroom unit. That helped a lot and we were comfortable all summer. - You get charged extra for everything: pet rent, garage parking, bike parking, storage, garden on the roof. But that's standard practice here in Seattle and it's nice to have all those options. Things we love: - The staff! Everyone we ever work with here is kind and great at their jobs. - Amazon locker hub! Great for getting mail delivered. - 48 hour service guarantee. We never waited long for maintenance even on very small things. Urgent needs were always promptly addressed. - Clean building. This place is regularly cleaned by a professional crew. - Quiet building. Rarely do we hear our neighbors above us or next to us. The people who live here are all pretty chill. The windows are thick and we rarely hear outside noise if windows are closed. - Controlled access. This building feels safe and secure. - Bike storage. There are spots on each floor for locked bike storage. - Natural light. Each unit I've been in has Abbi SMT natural light. - Good insulation. Our electric bills are very low in the winter. The building retains its temperature well. - Location. So close to 5, across the street from Whole Foods, Bartells, and Starbucks. Many parks and local businesses nearby. Trader Joe's not even a mike away. What's not to love about that? We're moving out of state for work but if we'd been staying in Seattle we would've continued to live here. This building is great!

Avoid this place at all costs. Terrible management ruins everything…read more This is easily the worst apartment complex I've lived in. The on-site manager, Aly Dahi, is almost never available. On the rare occasions she is on-site, she is incredibly rude -- rolling her eyes and acting annoyed the moment you ask for any kind of help or maintenance. Throughout the year she nickel-and-dimes tenants with surprise "hidden fees" that keep popping up on a two-bedroom lease. Then, to make moving out even more stressful, she locked my key fob a full week before my lease ended. It's no surprise that almost everyone moves out within a year because of her. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.

Maintenance staff are friendly, timely, and helpful. Building admin staff have changed a couple of times, so I won't comment on them. Despite all this, we were just notified that the outlets in the garage do not support EV or PHEV charging. I know there are EVs in the garage that clearly date well before my time here. The building states that it is working towards a solution and has secured a grant. It does not know how many chargers will be installed. The timelines often associated with grant funding and with installing EV chargers in commercial settings (like a large apartment building) are rarely very timely. I am concerned that it took this long for news like this to come out. If vehicles have been charging down there for years, shouldn't someone have checked years ago, not days? Building management is also poor at communicating timelines. This persisted across multiple administrators. I anticipate it will be the same with the chargers. Days turn into weeks, months, and eventually "as soon as possible." Sure, chargers don't impact our safety or all residents, but the garage door not operating or elevators going out of commission certainly do. We knew renovations were ongoing coming into this building, but the timelines communicated for when amenities would be unavailable vs. when they were actually unavailable makes me question why our rent was still going up at the end of our lease last year. I'm still questioning why it's going up 10% when the CPI for primary residence rental cost is closer to 6%. While I'm here, I should mention that I'm not particularly fond of signing a class action waiver to establish tenancy with Greystar. I'm assuming the other named parties in the price-fixing suit are doing the same, but it reeks of guilt. That's less of a comment on this building and more of one on the company. I'll update this review upon the end of my lease, but until then wanted to make sure any prospective renters would know about the charging situation, at least.

Three takeaways I want future residents looking at this Greystar property to really consider:…read more 1. How much does security/safety mean to you? 2. If you have issues where management gets involved, are you prepared to spend dozens and dozens of hours fighting and potentially retaining legal help? 3. If you think this is one disgruntled renter, please look up additional review sites and sort by new. Look at all the reviews in just the last month and a half. Catch up: old management company enters discussions to sell property around July '2021. Residents are pretty unhappy but it's mostly with cleanliness, communication and the occasional car/storage locker break-in/package theft. We do understand unfortunately this happens in cities. But then our garage broke 12/26/21 opening up the building to various unrestricted points of access. On 1/28/22 Greystar announces their take over and many of us on day 1 review safety concerns, and current/past issues. By the end of the first week, they've heard from many residents. Enough to validate what we are all saying. Enough that when I asked the new Greystar community manager if he would stay in a building with all these issues, he replied "No, I would not" and followed up with "Let me advocate for you to our leadership". Greystar would follow up asking residents what compensation they would like to see. Only to then follow up denying each and every one of us who asked for 24hr onsite security (just while the garage was broke since threats to safety escalated), lease breaks due to history pre (and post) taking ownership, and parking compensation. Below is the "Luxury Apartment" experience offered here and I truly wish none of this happened. It really broke many of the resident's trust and highlighted what Greystar really cares about. If you still live here, make sure you document and take pictures of EVERYTHING. This was a nightmare come true. Security and safety here have been the worst. Maybe since they just fixed the garage on 3.15.22, after being broke since 12.26.21 (almost 3 months) things will improve. I genuinely hope this helps but we and many of our friends are leaving. As mentioned, Greystar denied our lease break request without a fee on 2/11/22. Many of us started exchanging numbers and grouping together to make a community ask as it felt they were trying to sweep this under a rug. We got help from a friend who had a lawyer and that lawyer helped us craft a letter citing all the documentation a group of us put together and on 3/3/22 as I was going to deliver my letter, we got a phone call approving our request to move, free of charge. Our friends had delivered their letter the night before on 3/2/22. Greystar's regional GM requested an NDA that we politely refused to sign. Picture attached; personal info blocked out. Overall summary since Greystar took over: At least 10-12+ storage lockers in our garage were robbed and reported to management. Cars were also vandalized/broke-in to and at least 1 car window smashed as recently as 3/14 just before they finished repairing the garage. Greystar continues to claim we have a night guard for the garage (up until the garage was fixed on 3.15) but all of the break-ins, drug needles, and vandalism never improved and felt worse. Greystar's response when we would report no guard was outside the garage late into the night: "Thanks for letting us know so we don't pay them." No empathy whatsoever. Multiple occasions of drug needles left in the building after use. Our lobby bathroom destroyed by someone shooting up drugs overnight. Left behind: Drug needles, smashed/shattered mirror for our maintenance team to clean up. There was a bag on the maintenance cart that looked like it had blood and dirty clothes/feces in it that were cleaned up before I came along. Pictures attached of the lobby bathroom mirror. A resident was threatened with a knife after asking if someone lived here that they did not recognize. Greystar responded to residents asking them to stop asking people if they live here. Picture attached; personal info blocked out. To our friends still here and those still denied fee waivers, I genuinely wish you the best. You know who we are, and we have provided legal contact info if you need it, just ask around. Take care.

Alright, after living here for around 4 months I feel like it's time to write a review. I'm not…read moregetting anything for this review. When I looked it up on Yelp for the first time I was a bit suspicious it had such high ratings but now I know they're justified. BACKGROUND - I am a Seattle transplant. Just graduated and just moved here fresh out of college. I wanted to live somewhere affordable, convenient, nice and still close enough to where all the fun stuff was. I looked at Cap Hill and the prices were outrageous. So the I landed on NAMU from an ad on Craigslist. LOCATION - around 5-10 minute drive from downtown Seattle and downtown Capitol Hill. Close enough for a short bus ride or a cheap Uber pool. If you check on the walk score it's around high 80s and the crime rate for the area is really low. Generally, it's closer to the suburbs. It's quiet at night because of that but occasionally there will be a siren once a week or people yelling once in a blue moon. But generally, really quiet. CONVENIENCE- I live right next to Safeway and can walk there in under 30 seconds which has saved my life many times. There's also a cute plant shop downstairs if you like plants and a Dominos pizza is opening soon, there's a Vietnamese sandwich place near the Safeway as well. The Safeway is open late which is great. There's also a YMCA a block away if you want to workout nearby! APT AMENITIES - in terms of amenities it is solid given how much rent you are paying. There's a bike rack, and a nice rooftop. None of my packages have EVER been stolen from the lobby and I've see packages left there for days so everyone in the building respects that. You can pay extra for storage and the laundry machines are on the 2nd and 3rd floor, which TAKE CARD. Generally they are full on the weekends but I haven't had an issue waiting long times for laundry. There's no pool, or lounge, trash chute or gym. The only things I wish the room had: an oven, a dishwasher (I just do my dishes by hand), and a closet. But I've adjusted. If you need these things to survive, consider that before you move in or if you have a ton of stuff / furniture / clothes because it likely won't fit. NOISE - Honestly, I'm assuming the insulation is top notch because I've heard my neighbors maybe once. ROOMS - The apartment was made in 2015 or something. I moved in 2017 and was the second tenant ever! The rooms are small, around 250-300sqft but I have enough room for a full-size bed, a queen size futon, a wardrobe hanger, and a small dining table and a bookshelf and no issues. It's a perfect studio for a single person and more than enough room to be comfy. Note there isn't a closet though so you'll have to make do with a buy your own closet thing. I really appreciate the mini fridge as it is honestly big enough for one person and since I live by Safeway I never really needed too much space anyway. The bathrooms are clean and modern and there's a big window too which is really nice in the mornings. LANDLADY / MAINTENANCE - This is what prompted me to write this review. The landlady, Sonya, has been nothing but incredible and responsive. She texts back almost immediately and even helped me once when I locked myself out of my room at midnight, and helped me get a package when I accidentally locked it. She's very thoughtful and kind and honestly I never knew how awesome thanks would be to have a great landlady until I met her! She also schedules maintenance once you report a problem to her. The maintenance guy, Mike, lives in the complex and shows up right on time to help fix your issues and is polite and nice. There was an incident where our hot water heater stopped working for around a day and Sonya immediately notified all the residents on the situation and provided suggestions for other solutions. And she even decorated the front door and lobby with a Christmas tree for the holidays!! Tldr - This is a great place to live if you're moving to Seattle as a single person. The rooms are "small" but modern, clean, and more than enough space for a studio. The facilities are brand new, and the landlady is awesome. The rent is affordable and I've I'm very happy living here and feel safe.
