Nothing but issues since we had moved in. The carpet was a couple years old and shaggy when we moved in, counter tops had some scratches, sink and tub had stains in them from previous tenant, walls were banged up on corners and you can tellā€¦Ā See More >

    Lived here for about two years and it was horrible. Dave, the manager, was a fat ---- who lost our inspection form but told his boss Jim (the owner) we never turned it in charging us 1100 in carpet and cigarette damages that were presentā€¦Ā See More >

      The price is cheap compared to the rest of the city and region but remember this is government housing. They do have plenty of hippies and drug addicts living hear who have children they allow to run the streets without supervision. The Olympia Police areā€¦Ā See More >

        Horrible

        I would suspect that any positive reviews of this property are from it s own management. This is a HORRIBLE place to live and we couldn t wait for our lease to be up. The management does nothing to actually manage the property.ā€¦Ā See More >

          dont know what all the fuss is about

          apartments are always what you yourself make of them if your neighbors are loud, ask them to be quiet. adapt, be resilient, get used to it or be really nice so they respect you when you politely ask them to change their habits. don't let itā€¦Ā See More >

            Avoid this place if you can help it.

            We moved into this complex because the unit had new carpets and it was repainted making it like a new apartment. It was nice and the complex seemed quite. We then found out within a week that it was quite because we wereā€¦Ā See More >

              I have lived here for several years, I have always paid my rent on time, I have always reported the Meth dealers to the office and to the police, I have always reported neglected children to CPS. Basically I have always been a good tenant,ā€¦Ā See More >

                Pretty Good Place

                This place was my first apartment. The prices are good for low income, and I was extremely impressed that the management showed me the apartment that was to be mine on my initial move in instead of a 'sample' apartment. The management was also veryā€¦Ā See More >

                    Ok so we have lived here since may of last year. We finally decided that we have to break our lease because it has been a nightmare since week 2. When we first came here it sounded like a good place. Office was nice andā€¦Ā See More >

                            After much consideration

                            The apartment was fairly clean, but constructed with the cheapest of materials. The walls ceilings and floors are paper thin, so walking upstairs is heard if your dwelling is dead quiet. Rent increased by 10% within the 1.5 years that my wife and I haveā€¦Ā See More >

                              If mold, noise, and theft are things you enjoy, this is your dream apartment (if there were such a thing). Otherwise, listen to the bad reviews - they're not actually exaggerating nearly as much as the good ones. The staff is marginally friendly and generallyā€¦Ā See More >

                                I did a lot of research on this place before I signed the lease. It seemed like an ok place beforeI moved in. Boy was I wrong. I should have believed the negative reviews. They are absolutely correct! Don't moveā€¦Ā See More >

                                  I have to notice that the past good reviews have been written on the same day or just a few days before. What are they doing, giving free rent to bribe people into writing something good about this ---- hole? The place sucks.ā€¦Ā See More >

                                    When I first moved here, it was from across the country. One look (at the property)and one visit with the former manager, Amanda, was all it took and we moved in. Now, Patti is here and we are still receiving good service. <br>Now, some thingsā€¦Ā See More >
