Apartment has been plagued by external construction for months. Scaffolding has been erected with thick tarps blocking all sunlight and preventing the windows from being opened (this is in units without central air so that means zero ventilation). There's been at least one home invasionā€¦Ā See More >

      Not really a rant/rave per se, one thing to remind future tenant is that unless you are certain your exit time, you might want to have a second thought because the lease has an 1.5-month rent penalty clause! Another option is you leave butā€¦Ā See More >

            eh.

            When we moved to Seattle we moved here because of the price and location; coming from out of state it seems like a great combo. You had washer and dryer in unit, a grocery down stairs, and a parking garage below that. To top itā€¦Ā See More >

              I lived at Uwajimaya for just over a year, and in that time I was very impressed. The office staff and maintenance staff are really great and have always been helpful, fast, smart, and accommodating. The garden always looks beautiful and is such a charmingā€¦Ā See More >

                  I think it's fabulous! I needed a quiet place, and this is it. (Not all apartments here are as quiet as mine.) The appliances are top of the line, and I can cook without the smoke alarm going off! The location could not be anyā€¦Ā See More >

                      I've been here almost 2 years and have no major complaints. The rent is steep, but if you want to live downtown, you have to pay more for a clean, safe place with the features these apts have. I just hope the rentā€¦Ā See More >

                                        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. The management is inconsiderate and see the tenants by the rent they are willing to pay.ā€¦Ā See More >
