Arrington Place (formerly Emerald Hills Apartment Homes): what a joke (Not Recommending)

2009-06-18T19:09:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place seemed very nice from first look. Woodsy,kind of private and clean. Our apartment was very nice on the inside, and thats about where my praise ends.

Arrington Place (formerly Emerald Hills Apartment Homes): It's OK (Recommending!)

2009-01-31T20:14:12-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved in a few months ago and had no significant problems. We got a good price on the rent (under 1k for a 2 bedroom in Issaquah? No way!) and it's in a good location; close to 'downtown' but in a lovely setting. The Hot Tub hasn't worked since ... [click to read full apartment review]

Arrington Place (formerly Emerald Hills Apartment Homes): Bad, Bad, BAD Place to Live (Not Recommending)

2008-01-30T00:09:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved into these apartments in August of 2005. The management at that time was very nice. Trouble was, the apartments were sold almost immediately, and EVERYTHING went to hell. The new management didn't care about the tenants in the least, and didn't have much between the ears. Turns out, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Arrington Place (formerly Emerald Hills Apartment Homes): Noisy, Thin Walls, Thin Ceilings, Thin Windows, next to Bus Yard (Not Recommending)

2007-11-28T02:10:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Well-maintained units, but the walls and ceilings are really thin and you hear all the neighbor's noise. There seem to be a lot of under-25's sharing apartments, too, who like to make noise until late at night. And after you've been kept up late, you'll hear the noise from the ...

Arrington Place (formerly Emerald Hills Apartment Homes): horrific!! (Not Recommending)

2006-11-30T14:32:53-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My family and I moved in 2 1/2 years ago. At that time the management was friendly and helpful...especially the older grounds keeper and Steve, the maintenance man.

Arrington Place (formerly Emerald Hills Apartment Homes): Take a pass and go elsewhere (Not Recommending)

2006-10-25T14:02:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place isn't worth it. I'm still here now until I buy a place of my own. After I'm gone I'll do a better review, but for now this place has gone downhill and has applied huge increases in its rents. The contruction has been non-stop, noisy and with no ...

Arrington Place (formerly Emerald Hills Apartment Homes): Overpriced (Not Recommending)

2006-09-28T23:57:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Our lease expires in October, and we were expecting the rent to go up. When we got the lease renewal notice, I nearly had a heart attack. It went from $889 to $1150! That's a 29% increase! The management had the gall to call it a "slight increase"!

We have declined ... [click to read full apartment review]

Arrington Place (formerly Emerald Hills Apartment Homes): Not even worth a look (Not Recommending)

2006-09-05T02:26:34-06:00

From -Anonymous-: When we moved in a few years back the management was wonderful, it was quiet, reasonably priced and maintenance issues got fixed asap.

Arrington Place (formerly Emerald Hills Apartment Homes): Can't Move Away Soon Enough! (Not Recommending)

2006-08-28T13:23:06-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This is the worst set of apartments I've ever lived in. Management is brain dead; nosy and intrusive. Don't expect calls to be returned if you need something. Don't expect promises to be kept unless they're in writing (and even that isn't reliable without a lawsuit). Complex is incredibly noisy ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-03-20T02:53:12-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've been here almost 2 years now. When I moved in, the place was quiet and calm.

Arrington Place (formerly Emerald Hills Apartment Homes): Mixed Feelings (Recommending!)

2005-08-19T14:44:32-06:00

From -Anonymous-: At first, we loved it. The apartment is huge (2bd/2bth 1100SQFT for $870). It is right off a trail, one end takes you to downtown Issaquah, the other, to Tiger Mountain.
