Loved living at the Cobb!

I lived at the Cobb for 2 years, and only moved because I was relocating to a different state. I LOVED living there. The location was amazing, the apartments are beautiful, and I always found the office staff friendly and helpful. There'sā€¦Ā See More >

    The Best Choice in downtown Seattle

    I have recently completed an extensive apartment search and have chosen The Cobb. I found it to have the best combination of location, quality floor plans/finishes and amenities in the central business district. It is clearly a boutique building that is the prideā€¦Ā See More >

      Fantastic Place to live, the best in Seattle

      I lived in the Cobb building when they first opened and it was a fantastic place to live. Great finishings, excellent maintenance, the concierge ladies where awesome. Throughout the year things changed and it was not so good. I left for about a year toā€¦Ā See More >

        The only place to live in Seattle!

        Well...the Cobb is our home. Period. We have lived on both coasts and can say without hesitation that the Cobb is the best building in which we have lived. The building is fantastic -- a beautifully restored historic building with just the right touch ofā€¦Ā See More >

          Great building and management!

          The cobb is without a doubt the best apartment building in seattle. The location is great. It is a very quiet location for city living. Sure you will hear outside city noise but that is the same anywhere downtown. Very well constructed. I never hearā€¦Ā See More >

            One of my (many) favorite parts about living downtown!

            I should have written this a few months ago but hopefully writing now I can add some levity to the previous negative post. I work in the housing industry downtown and moved from Queen Anne to The Cobb to live within walking distance of myā€¦Ā See More >

                I really like the Cobb

                If there is a nicer apartment building in Seattle, I somehow missed it in my (arguably obsessive) search for my first apartment here. The apartments are beautiful with great finishes and smart layouts. Though my apartment is smaller than my former home it has neverā€¦Ā See More >

                  Sky High Rent Increases and Questionable Management

                  My girlfriend and I have lived here for almost 2.5 years now. They jack the rent up at the end of each leasing term and credit the increase to "market conditions". I suspect that the building manager gets an incentive to rent to new tenantsā€¦Ā See More >

                    The Cobb may have indeed gone through some transitional periods with the initial construction and office staff, as does any other apartment community, but since I have been here I have been impressed with The Cobb s honest, and appreciated efforts to serveā€¦Ā See More >

                      Your rent will rise at the end of your lease, everytime....

                      Building was nicer and much cleaner when I first moved in. My rent has been raised at the end of each lease I have signed, really not sure how market rate can be the stated reason, when cleary over 10% of the building is vacantā€¦Ā See More >

                        Great building going through some growing pains

                        I have lived here since the building opened. The building is impressive and the finishing touches within each apartment are wonderful. In short, it's a truly unique home.
