Unfortunately we graduated and my fiance was offered a job opportunity back at home so we moved. We have had a hard time finding a place down at home that compares. This complex was pet friendly, the apartments are very clean, well maintained, spacious and affordable. The staff is beyond great, they're always available to talk to, the property grounds are well kept, quiet, and safe. We never once had an issue with our place and the only time we had a small maintenance request, it was handled within the hour. We also miss their workout area and club house. They have pool table, bowflex, three cardio machines and a sauna. Rarely did it ever get busy enough to wait for anything either. The location is great, it's not too far from the University and in a great neighborhood where you're close enough to the city, but partying and noise had never been an issue. The complex is comprised of a pretty even mix of students and working professionals. You're just about a 10 minute walk to Fred Meyer or to Haggen and the park 'n ride is right across the street, so you have plenty of options. This place is rarely vacant, as we were on a waiting list and referred by some friends before first living here. So take a look and if they have a vacancy, take it! You'll thank me later! :)

I previously lived here for about 2.5 years. I have lived several places since but this is…read moreabsolutely the best apartment complex I have lived in to date. The first thing is the management. Leann and Kari are awesome, awesome managers. Nice and friendly and respond to maintenance requests in record time. I never realized just how spoiled I was until I moved away. Location, location, location. Super quiet complex away from the main campus student rentals. I lived here when I was attending WWU and it was great because it was literally a five minute walk to the park and ride. After I was out of school it was nice because it was super easy to get on the freeway to go to work - 1 minute drive to go north on I-5, less than 5 minutes to go south. The apartments themselves are spacious and a great value for the price. I lived in both a two bedroom and a one bedroom and they were both huge! The one bedroom had the largest closet I have ever seen in an apartment, ever. The cabinets/carpet/flooring are all standard apartment fare, nothing special but really well maintained. Washer, dryer, dishwasher included. There's an exercise room in the main building and you can reserve common area in the main building for events.

If you want to talk to someone from the office, prepare to deal with "Liam," their virtual assistant, for an obnoxious amount of time before getting to talk to an actual person. This includes e-mail communications. Safe location. Nice residents. Emergency maintenance issue was quickly handled.

Garbage piled up repeatedly over the past year, and it took far too long for management to resolve it. The shuttle breaks down frequently, and residents aren't notified until it's too late--causing you to miss class or pay for parking out of pocket. Rent and utility costs have consistently increased, all for a subpar living experience. When you finally move out, you're likely to be hit with vague and confusing "damage charges" that cannot be disputed unless you want to pursue legal action. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. The management is negligent and unresponsive. While most of the staff are kind and do their best, there's only so much they can do under such poor leadership.

This is a fair review, it may never see the light of day on their own site... as described in the…read moreTerms and Conditions... They own the data the moment I hit the send button. Sooo if they own it they can decide if it is published for all to see ;) WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNIING My largest hope is that prospective tenants READ the terms and conditions prior to signing a lease. The important point is that these units are rented "as is". There web portal is "as is" and they take no responsibility for it's security or integrity- if it fails any litmus, they are held harmless!!! This is all available for review in their terms and conditions. Now for the condition of the units - I say units as I have been privileged to be invited into several occupied units. PLEASE READ: 1) The units are old and worn out. 2) The appliances are old and worn out. 3) The kitchen counters are simply painted plywood. 4) There is mold, water-leaks, rotting and decaying building components, silverfish, animal feces, provided internet does not have enough bandwidth to retrieve email... Just a partial list. 5) The laundry machines (they do not own - however they get rent and or a kickback for usage) The machines are in various states of operation and when operating will cost $8 to $22 per load, that's a load of wash and the same load to dry. Ended up purchasing a drying rack for the apartment as the clothing is not dry after spending an average of $20. Also there are NO REFUNDS and NO ASSISTANCE when either the washer or dryer stops working in the middle of a cycle. 6) The apartment was FILTHY when I arrived, it was so bad, sticky, moldy, worn out that it required deep cleaning before I could move in. I took photos of the mold and other concerns - I was told that they are not responsible for mold, the implication is that I created the mold ¿? Are you serious? The photos are from prior to me moving in, how could I be responsible for existing mold? Lastly, I needed to wait for a week before it was available as they claimed they were cleaning and painting (I don't believe this at all) 7) These concerns have been reported multiple times without a timely response and without action after weeks of waiting. **The complex is on their third "management company" in less than a year.... HHmmmm, more than likely to limit their liability. Caution to future tenants, READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS before signing a lease. You may wonder why we rented this apartment if some or all of these issues existed. We were two weeks away from the start of a new school year and should have been suspicious that they had availability when almost no one else did. Also, this was done over the phone and through photos as we are from out of town and traveling round trip on short notice was not an option. Almost NO COMMUNICATION fro the front office. Probably due to the management constantly changing, no one is ever able to give you a straight answer on anything -that is if you can even reach them. You call, you email, you can visit the office. Most of the time, they will not answer your calls (even if you leave a message), and are almost never at the office during office hours.

I couldn't scratch the surface of how bad this place was, but to give you context it was about $800 a month per person, and we lived there for about a year. -AWFUL communication from the multiple people who owned the property (I think there were 3 companies that owned in in less than a year). The emergency line (on multiple occasions) went unanswered, they just really don't care. -The apartments themselves SUCK. Not only are they small, but the design makes no sense. We had no living room/living space, and had no openable windows in the main area. -There is no upkeep to the property. This place is the definition of "don't fix it, paint over it". In the winter, there was a broken waterpipe that made accessing the parking lot dangerous -they didn't fix it for weeks. -No one who works there has any clue what they're doing (expect for Carl and Niko, who are awesome). Probably due to the management constantly changing, no one is ever able to give you a straight answer on anything -that is if you can even reach them. You call, you email, you can visit the office. Most of the time, they will not answer your calls (even if you leave a message), and are almost never at the office during office hours. -My roommates and I were tricked and lied to when it came to our lease. When we signed the lease, we were signing a lease for 5 bedrooms. AFTER we signed the lease, they told us no 5 bedroom apartments were available, so we ended up having to split up. We were totally tricked/trapped. -The security deposit was $200. After emailing and calling SEVERAL people, I finally got my deposit back about a month after moving out. When I got it, they had taken out $85 for maintenance and cleaning. WHAT?? Not only was the apartment FILTHY when we arrived, we also deep cleaned it before leaving. There was absolutely no damage, so there is no reason that money should've been taken out. -For weeks in the Winter, and Spring the fire alarms would go off for minutes at a time. Everyone would have to pack up themselves and their pets to move out into the parking -only for the fire department to tell us that there was no fire, but faulty equipment. THIS HAPPENED PROBABLY 10 TIMES ALTOGETHER. -Consistently bad wifi, no place to set up cable or internet in the main area -No circulation (food goes bad pretty fast) -Laundry cost $4 a load. The machines are disgusting and never get cleaned, same with the dryers that usually don't dry your stuff properly. It's ridiculous we have to pay at all. -Of course, rent is expensive everywhere, but to have the audacity to charge so much money for such an HORRENDOUS place to live is criminal.
