Nice Views!

I had a great tour here at Dexter Lake Union. I am still undecided in my search, but hope to call this place home soon. Overall the area is nice with decent floor plans. The views of the lake are a plus too!

    Great place!

    I had a great tour recently at Dexter. The leasing agent was very friendly and seemed to care about my overall needs and wants when looking for my next apartment. This place will be at the top of my list!

      Affordable Apartment

      I really enjoyed touring the rooftop decks and courtyard area. I like all the green spaces that the property had to offer. I wish the fitness center was bigger and had more equipment. Overall a friendly place to tour.

          Pablo me ayudo bastante. No hay muchas comunidades que tengan personas que hablen espanol y el gerente pablo fue muy hamable con migo. Mi esposa y yo vamos a rentar con este apartamento porque la zona es muy buena y esta cerca de mi trabajo.

                    Hi Hoa, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It is always our goal to provide exceptional customer service, and I’m sorry that we did not live up to this expectation. When packages are in the lockers for 5 or more days, we often deliver them to the doors so that there is room in the lockers for new packages. As we discussed, the next step would be to submit a claim with the companies you bought the items from. We can certainly send you the proof of when we picked up your packages if this will assist with your claim. After contacting the companies, please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help. Thank you again for your review, and we hope to be able to turn your experience around. Sincerely, The Dexter Lake Union Team
