Northgate Apartments

I applied for an apartment last week and got denied. I never was given an update and I sent an email no reply. I called the office today 5/17/2022 and the gal who answered seemed like she knew right away who I was. She was very rude and laughing when she answered the phone. She cut me off , very rude in her tone and hung up on me when I had one more question to ask. I simply wanted to know when I will receive the 200.00 holding fee and why I was denied. She was very rude and unprofessional. I do not recommend ANYONE who is serious about moving and trying to find reasonable rent to look here. It will be taken like a joke. NO customer service skills at all. Lack of empathy.

This has seriously been one of the best apartments I've lived at in the Seattle area! The manager Teresa and Jennifer in the office are both so nice and respond to everything almost instantly, and the maintenance staff has a great sense of urgency when you need them (which for me in 1.5 years here has only been once, also awesome). The unit itself is spacious with a ton of storage and way more affordable than much smaller apartments in the neighborhood which I appreciate so I can give my kitty some more space to play around (did I mention they're pet friendly?) You're not going to find a better value in this part of town, especially with other complexes jacking up prices in anticipation of the new mall, so the fact that the managers and staff are so nice and accommodating is just an extra awesome bonus!

I lived here for 4 years, and I love these apartments. There aren't many left in this style in Seattle - these were the original apartments built for the employees at the then new Northgate Mall, so if you like older style with a bit of history, these are great. The prices have stayed reasonable too, which is surprising for Seattle. They have free heat, which can be a blessing and a curse - it's free, which is awesome, but it's old boiler heat, so it comes on at predetermined times and can be a bit noisy as it starts up. Other things I liked - easy access to transit and shopping, there's a target next door, QFC a couple blocks away, and the (currently remodeling) Northgate Mall across the street. The units are pretty spacious - a studio is actually livable here, as you get a small separate kitchen and enough closet space, and there are windows on both sides so you can get some ventilation going through. I was concerned when the complex was sold and changed management this year, but the new crew has been great. Very pleasant to work with and very responsive when issues arise - it's nice to know that they will do everything they can to make things right and look out for the residents. I appreciate that.

Honestly unsure how there are so many bad reviews. We lived here for a little over a year and it has been a great experience. We thought it was nothing but a great deal. It’s also an awesome location if you commute downtown. Great neighbors and management has been nothing but awesome. We had good experiences with both management (new owners and management in 2020), however it seems that new management has a lot more manpower. The maintenance team is friendly and competent as well. The apartment contracts private security that patrols at night since it is in a busy area of Northgate with a night hotline. A nice perk which gives some peace of mind. I read some of the bad reviews and couldn’t help but agree with some of the points. Yes there will be some boiler noises and yes heat is controlled via a timer... but it’s free heat you don’t pay for (it’s included in the rent)! And you’re not going to find cheaper rent in the area. If you value saving time on commutes and saving money on monthly rent, this is a sweet place. I wish we found this place sooner. The last thing is this- the entire living room is lined with windows so your room lights up with sun when it’s sunny!
