2008-06-13T15:25:08-06:00

Uwajimaya Village: Overpriced and inconsiderate management (Not Recommending)

2008-05-14T00:44:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Before the management change, I would recommend this place, but now I won't. The units are pricey. Expect the rent and parking to go up after your lease.

From jamaidian@aol.com: I lived at Uwajimaya Village for 14 months. When we first moved to Seattle I was really looking for someplace close to work and knew nothing about the different parts of downtown.

Uwajimaya Village: (Not Recommending)

2007-03-04T23:16:06-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Central location is the best reason to live here. Security is very good with roving guards, cameras, and emergency alarms in the underground parking garage. Unfortunately there are problems with street people at night and the noise from the drunks at 2:00 AM from the numerous restaurants. The appliances(W/D,Stove,Dishwasher) are ...

Uwajimaya Village: Management sucks (Not Recommending)

2009-01-19T17:30:56-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We have been living here for 2 years, and we decided to move out. The biggest reason is management staff. They are helpless, incompetent, and irresponsible.

Uwajimaya Village: These are fake reviews (Not Recommending)

2006-02-16T00:40:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If you read these reviews it's quite obvious that they are written by the apartment management. You may notice that the last three reviews were written on the same day 02/06 and are titled "center of this or center of that" and read like a bad advertisement and that Sylvia ...

2006-02-06T20:05:01-06:00

Uwajimaya Village: Not worth the money (Not Recommending)

2006-01-03T17:44:01-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Warning: They WILL jack up your rent after the first year and will not give you the same incentives as you got when you moved in - DESPITE the fact that the building is largely vacant.

2005-12-27T11:21:42-06:00

From yama: I lived there a few years ago. It was great.
There are many Asians that live there, so its very quiet with a polite atmosphere. None of the ‘boom boom’ of stereos & televisions turned on loud that is so typical elsewhere. The people don’t wear shoes inside their apartments so ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-07-06T14:12:08-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived in Uwajimaya for about 6 months now. I moved from a big house in suburbia, so even my relatively large 2bd townhouse feels a bit cramped, but for the city it's quite large.

The complex is overall very nice. I can't say enough about the staff; they're just super ... [click to read full apartment review]

Uwajimaya Village: Overall: Very Good (Recommending!)

2005-04-21T13:38:33-06:00

From Jeff2: It's a tiny oasis in the middle of the International District. The water garden in the center of the complex is what sold me. Nice tenants, dog-friendly, responsive and flexible management. Certainly among the very best places I've lived in 15 years of apartment dwelling.

If I moved back to ... [click to read full apartment review]
