      At first the apartments seemed like a typical building, but by July we had a major ant infestation. They were all over the master bathroom and in the living room. We told management and they had somebody come and spray them which meant carting outā€¦Ā See More >

              Kingway apartments is one of the properties managed by them. They have a manager, and area manager in Bellevue office; who are very rude, unprofessional and disrespectful. They simply ignore residents' requests. Parking is an issue they "don't want to resolve" that is abused byā€¦Ā See More >

                Moving to this apartment complex will be the biggest mistake you'll ever make. I have never had so many problems with any place I've lived till we moved here. I have regretted moving in since week one, and can't wait to move out!ā€¦Ā See More >

                  I met with the leasing agent, Rose, after a sister property breached our prelease agreement. I came back within twenty-four hours of our initial interaction, and everything that she had told me, (apartment availability, promotional discounts on first month's rent), proved to be utterly false.ā€¦Ā See More >
