Resident 2009 - 2014

I lived in these apartments for several years and really enjoyed them. The property is nice and spaced out so you don't feel like you're up in other people's business. Even with many families with children who loved the open grassy layout of the property for playing the property was still very quiet. The units were affordable and I loved the layout and setup inside. No complaints at all in the price and the rent and WSG was always very reasonable. The apartments are tucked away off Yelm Hwy, but it's very easy to get wherever you need to go in the Yelm/Oly/Lacey area. It's in a very nice neighborhood and there is easy access to shops and grocery stores. I actually miss them quite a bit and they will probably always be home. I always look over the previous reviews and am hoping my two cents might help since I lived there so long: They do do regular inspections of the fireplace/chimney for safety and have a bi-annual apartment inspections. Occasionally they have to do other things like clean the dryer vents or check the smoke alarms but they always give several days notice before entering your apartment. They also have a monthly flyer they hang on your door detailing any fun events they are doing and the time for their monthly resident brunch, which is a nice time to grab a muffin and drop off your rent. People have posted reviews in the past complaining about the inspections of the carpets and apartment upon move out. The management will rip up the carpet right in front of you to look at any stains or damage and they will thoroughly check the appliances upon move out for cleaning. As long as you take the time to clean them you shouldn't have an issue. I lived there many years with two cats and wasn't expecting a deposit refund just because I had lived there so long, I was surprised when I did get a portion of the deposit back on move out. The only bad thing I can say and the reason I'm not giving 5 stars is at one point I had a major maintenance issue and the maintenance, while usually very good at responding to requests was very slow to handle the situation. Professionals should have been called and the management did not want to call professionals leaving me and my roommate in a bad very frustrating situation for over a week before it was resolved. The rest of the time if I had any maintenance issues they were great, no complaints. Also, I want to add I always thought it was strange how the management is dead serious about their no dogs policy. This is a cat only complex. You cant even have dogs visit and if they see dogs on the property (other then those passing through) they will start knocking on doors to find out who's dog it is. Overall I did love this place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a decent reasonably priced place to live in the area.
