Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): If you like bugs, mold, and rude management... (Not Recommending)

2009-09-09T09:40:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The best part about this place is the location. Unfortunately, that's about all you can say that's good about it. The management is extremely rude and uncooperative as soon as you are finished signing your lease. Live anywhere in Newcastle but here. I made a mistake in choosing this place ...

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Hidden costs (Not Recommending)

2009-09-09T13:58:06-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have been here a few years and I am used to the problems other people have pointed out. The staff is changing but the new people might be nice. Parking more than one vehicle per unit is a game of musical cars, not fun. I mean this is a ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): IT'S LIKE LIVING IN THE PROJECTS (Not Recommending)

2009-08-10T22:45:09-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Nearly everything about this place is terrible. To start, the few guest parking spots are regularly filled by junkers and service/commercial vehicles belonging to residents. Apparently one parking spot is no longer a standard feature included in rent, so if you want an assigned spot, you have to pay $35/month. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): You can get a bigger bang for your buck! (Not Recommending)

2009-05-23T15:37:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived at Newport Crossing for a few years now. What keeps me here is the location. I love the peace and quiet that Newcastle offers. And the beauty of Lake Boren park, and you can't beat the walking/hiking trails so close to the apartments. However, I lived here when ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): A Great Place to Live (Recommending!)

2009-05-02T02:05:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived at Newport Crossing for the past 6 months and I really like it here. I am really surprised at the negative reviews - I think the people in the front office and the maintenance team (esp. Patrick) are great! Everyone is super friendly and very responsive. When ...

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): horrible! (Not Recommending)

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Location, Location, that's it. (Not Recommending)

2009-01-30T23:27:04-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If you want folks who value your business and make you feel at 'home', then don't move here. If you want managers who hold your safety in bad weather in high regard -don't look here. Every day (that is temperate days) the handy person is out in the parking area ...

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Not a nice place to live at all... (Not Recommending)

2008-12-24T10:14:05-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I actually only lived in Newport Crossing for about 3 months (I was living with 2 other people) and then I moved out, basically because of all the unresolved issues with the apartment. First of all, we moved into a dirty apartment. It looked as if the last person had ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): No complaints yet (Recommending!)

2008-10-30T09:50:34-06:00

From tiggertiffin87: Have been here a month (I moved in with someone) so I can't really say I have much of an opinion of anything yet. But the girls in the office are great so far. They're friendly and answer any questions I have and were willing to work with me on ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Not worth the money (Not Recommending)

2008-01-30T15:39:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for 3 years. When I first moved in they couldn't give these apartments away. The new management company that took over is trying to turn these shoddy built apartments in to "luxury" apartments. Mold is a huge problem. It is all over the windows in the ...

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Very poor management (Not Recommending)

2007-09-03T09:48:03-06:00

From veeveeju@gmail.com: had lived here for 3 years, management never appreciated me as a resident who paid her rent on time and barely complained. moved out in July 2007 and just noticed utility was paid double for the month of June and July, management never replied my emails and ignored me. p.s. ...

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Horrible (Not Recommending)

2007-03-02T15:01:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We have had nothing but problems since we moved in. Our apartment has flooded three times, our bathroom ceiling caved in, there's mold everywhere, and management could care less. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Pretty good (Recommending!)

2006-10-16T12:40:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Best aspect: location - short walk to Lake Boren park, convenient stores/restaurants across the street, fruit market across the street, good vet across the street. Traffic is sometimes heavy, but not horrible and eays to enter 405 north of the Newcastle congestion.

Worst aspect: Pet rent? what the...? $20/month. Maintenence staff ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): New laws regarding 3rd party billing in Seattle (i.e. water bills) (Not Recommending)

2006-08-16T22:15:25-06:00

From -Anonymous-: These laws don't apply to places outside Seattle but they will (hopefully) soon!!

Check it out:

All the Archstone properties seem to be doing this 3rd party billing scam... check out reviews for other Archstone properties... similar problems. I almost rented here until I started reading the reviews about this Archstone property!

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Overall Very Good (Recommending!)

2006-05-26T12:13:17-06:00

From bezerkerduckfan@yahoo.com: Management is very good and maintenance is great. It can get kind of loud and parking is very tough, spaces seem a little bit small. If cars aren't parked perfectly (and they won't be), it is tough to get in and out of your car. Units are great though.

They did ... [click to read full apartment review]

From F304: The only thing good about this place is that its close to almost everything. However parking sucks. I have read everyones comments and must say its true, the good and bad. The good comments are either by people that have only lived at archstone for a few months or are ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Great location but poor apartments (Not Recommending)

2005-07-22T18:17:58-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The only reason to live here is because of the great location. It's a good deal for the price you pay. However, be prepared for a small, noisy, and poorly construced aparatment. Walls are extremely thin!!!(Sex and loud parties) I'm a pretty sound sleeper but I had many nights of ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Next time I look for a place... (Recommending!)

2005-01-07T16:57:54-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'm not going to choose an Archstone complex. They do have some good policies, like free carpet cleaning after 1 year, but they charge fees for everything! Not only does this complex charge a $300 NON-REFUNDABLE pet deposit, but they also have the nerve to charge PET RENT (I believe ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Don't buy their sweet personalities and stories (Not Recommending)

2004-10-15T21:30:32-06:00

From bewitched@yahoo.com: There is a BIG difference between what they tell you and what they actually do. They don't control the noisy residents - they have no security people - they have bad parking rules - 2nd or 3rd maintenance team since I've been here - even when they write up problems ...

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Discrimination of rules (Not Recommending)

2004-07-20T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Like most apartments, this place has good points and bad. They have a safety rule and you sign it in your lease agreement - no BBQ grills. This is a safety rule they chose to ignore and do nothing to stop people from violating it. The B building overlooks the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): DON'T move here! (Not Recommending)

2004-06-05T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The majority of the things that were wrong with the apartment when I moved in have still not been fixed. It takes them forever to get around to fixing the few things they have. The appliances are ancient and barely work. The mold ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Party Central... (Not Recommending)

2004-05-15T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here in two different apartments for one year. I finally used the Archstone Home Buying service to purchase a new home. That service was wonderful, about the only positive experience I had at Newport Crossing.

The apartments are spacious, but that is where the accolades end. The black mold ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): *Keep Looking (Not Recommending)

2004-04-20T00:00:00-06:00

Longer term, invest some time and just keep looking.
Water, sewer and garbage, expect to pay $65.00 extra

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): pretty good place but with problems (Recommending!)

2003-08-31T00:00:00-06:00

From suerte: I lived at Archstone in Boston and at Newport Crossing in Newcastle. Archstone management at Newcastle in 2000/2001 was very good especially one guy (name?) who would remember everyone´s name and details about them. It made it easy to communicate problems.

I had a corner unit which provided fantastic ventilation ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Water / Trash / Sewer bill is a rip off!!! (Not Recommending)

2003-07-10T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Be sure to ask about how much you should expect to pay for your water/sewer/trash bill. If they are telling you anything less than $65 per person per unit they´re lying! It has been my biggest gripe about this apartment complex and the reason I´m moving out when my lease ... [click to read full apartment review]

From angelbaby91: I´ve lived here over a year and a half and have overall been pretty happy. There was the awful incident of the Sherrif being killed by a guest of a resident which almost made me break my lease and move. Also there are fairly frequent late night parties(loud drunken banter, ... [click to read full apartment review]

2003-05-27T00:00:00-06:00

From tangytang: This complex is a double-edged sword.
Spacious apartments that are fairly nice with old kitchen drawers which fall apart when you touch them and broken blinds that won´t roll up or down.
Quiet for the most part during the day. Noisy as HELL at night. The insulation in the walls either is ... [click to read full apartment review]

Newport Crossing (formerly Archstone Newport Crossing): Nice apartment complex (Recommending!)

2003-03-17T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I´ve lived at this complex for about 2.5 years. Here´s some random thoughts:

Manager is very nice and helpful, the staff is not always so great.

Be sure to ask about the water/trash/sewer bills and take them into account when renting. My one bedroom costs me about $60 a month as the ... [click to read full apartment review]

From BenThere: I lived at the apt for 6 months with two roomates. I found it to be pleasant. It is not at all like a getto. Im not sure why someone who thought it was the getto would continue to live there for two years; there are many other apartments in ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: After reading the one and only other review of this place, I have to offer my opinion. My wife and I moved here in December, 2001 and have generally had a good experience.

2002-07-21T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Maintenance and management are marginal at best. The focus seems to be on getting units rented and doing little else. One assistant manager has been fairly helpful the rest are uncaring and generally not at all helpful.

We´ve lived here almost two years. While the outside is maintained reasonably well, except ... [click to read full apartment review]
