I've been living here for 8yrs,, it's definitely turned around for the better and I'd recommend this place to anyone quite and peaceful..not the best place for baby daddy or baby momma drama.. respectful neighbors live here and you can definitely call this place home ..staff is very well versed with rules and regulations and have no problem enforcing them security is good now and overall this is an amazing community to call home..check it out!!!.. read more

lackluster customer service. They continue to charge my account for renter's insurance fee four months after I moved in, despite having provided a valid renter's insurance on move-in date. I had resubmitted the insurance as requested, was promised refund within 30 days, but still haven't received refund 3 months later. read more

Array Apartments is an awesome place to live. Leasing office staff is both professional and courteous. Building is kept clean and safe. When maintenance issues arise, they are addressed promptly. In addition to that, communication is always sent out regarding repairs and residential community concerns. Amenities are priceless. Whether it's the decorum in the main lobby or seasonal decorations, the added touch makes one feel at home. This makes my third year residing here. Often times, they offer move-in specials too. Feel free to take a tour before moving in. You won't be disappointed. read more

UPDATE: Garage and security gates are almost always broken. People break into cars and the building all the time. Have stumbled upon homeless people sleeping outside under the stairs, and sneaking into the building to sleep at night. Over the course of summer '21, there was atleast 1 homeless person living in the roof stairwell of the South Building for an extended period of time. Food wrappers were everywhere. Again, leasing did nothing to improve security. Delana acted as if she did not know about the 3 homeless individuals who we found sleeping under the outside stairwell, either. One individual was let into the building over winter; he knocked on doors and tested to see if any were unlocked. Even getting Elizabeth in Leasing to do anything about finding and escorting him out was difficult. Packages have been stolen, including from in front of my door. Leasing knows about the security issues, theft and trespassing. They don't care. In the 3 years I've been here, nothing has ever been done to improve security. There have been 4 fire alarms in 2 months (one of which was on a night where the outside temperature was 17F, because a pipe was not properly insulated and burst). They spent money to increase Package Concierge, (w*hich means that the workspace in the lobby was gotten rid of) but have +-never made a single move to install more cameras in the hallways or fix broken security doors. They do not care about your safety. Maintenance staff is incredibly rude. One resident had asked for the maintenance man not to ride in the elevator with her, due to COVID and him being unmaked. She said he got in with her, put a mask on, and when she asked him again to please take the next elevator due to COVID concerns, he took off his mask, got in her face, verbally accosted her and accused her of not living at the apartments. I and others have had nothing but rude interactions with Dave in Maintanence. The Array has one of the highest rental rates in the Seattle area, in an area that is riddled with gun and drug violence. Over the summer of '21, there was 4 drive-by shootings on LCW in the span of 2 weeks: 2 targeted at Solara (1 man dead); 1 at Chipolte; and the other closer to The Array. Prior to the "Healthy Street" being set up, active drug deals were a regular occurance. Homeless still sleep in the park during summer, needles can be found in the vegetation. In '19, a man was murdered in Little Brook Park, directly across from The Array. A month or two later, there was an attempted robbery, where a man was shot as he fled to The Clocktower. There's now a sign that was found on the back path inside The Array warning about a pedophile. Again, Leasing was notified and nothing done. If you have kids, please be extremely careful. Original: First, someone tried to break into my apartment, while I was sleeping, not even my first full week in the apartment. I could hear my blinds hitting my door handle. At first, I wrote it off, "maybe someone coming home drunk and forgot which porch door was theirs". Then, some asshole in the garage has deliberately been scratching my car for the last two weeks. No, I don't think either is a coincidence anymore. Not a safe community. Worst decision to move here. I'll amend my review if any of this gets properly 5\/addressed, but I doubt it. Don't live here if you value your safety or life. There's a reason rent is low. Update: last week we had a HUGE p32021| olice presence because someone got shot in the ass at 143rd and 32nd, then chased to the Clocktower. Common spaces are often dirty. Maintenance is quick, but it sucks to live in such a dirty place. read more

Close your eyes and imagine walking to your very own parking spot inside your very own gated garage... Now, imagine finding your car windows bashed in with all your belongings stolen. Do you feel that? That feeling of shock and horror? Get used to that feeling, because at Array, it will happen over and over. Would you like to know the icing on the cake? You'll get no sympathy from anyone. Not management.. Not security... Maybe a little from maintenance, because they're the ones that have to help you sweep up the glass. My girlfriend and I have both had our cars broken into all within a timeframe of 3-4 weeks. At any time of the day, any day of the week, I could easily find a car in our garage that has recently been broken into. Our community is RIDDLED WITH CRIME. So unless you enjoy lackluster security responses and/or becoming best friends with the police hold line... then I would advise you to "stay away from Array" (Let that little jingle sink in, it will serve you well). I will post pictures for you.. Keep in mind that these are from one evening's worth of looting. They really knocked it out of the park tonight. 6 vehicles in one night! I wonder if they can beat their record? I would rather just leave my car windows down so I don't have to continue cleaning broken glass. I called security to inform them of this major issue (someone has to do it) and I was met with the most unenthusiastic, uninspired security officer on the line. I explained the state of chaos that these garages are in, and the only response I got was "is that it? We will look into it". You would find more inspiration from a pre teen on curfew doing their math homework. Let's rapid fire some additional perks: -crushed beer cans and broken glass and mirrors in the garage (in the same spot for weeks and will likely remain there until the end of time) -homeless people in the hallways -sleeping security guards in the main lobby -elevators that constantly smell like something died in them -fire alarms always going off Ever thought of yourself as someone who would purchase a self defense weapon? Neither did I. But I own one and carry it with me every morning while I escort my girlfriend to her car. I've only lived here for a month or two.. And I feel obligated to do what I can to warn people about the challenges we face every day. DO NOT GET YOURSELF IN THIS TRAP. Live on the east side if you can afford it. We are legally bound to this place for a year. Or we pay the early lease termination... but who has enough money for that?? Most of us don't. Maybe we can find a better use for this building and turn it into a halfway house? We're almost there folks, all that's left is the paperwork. Array, where is your motivation to help us? Your people here are scared & frustrated. Do your job and help your community. Count your rent money, roll up your sleeves, dig deep, and figure this out. Or this won't be an apartment complex for much longer. No renters = no money. If you can correct your crime issue, I will consider removing this review. read more

This is the worst apartment I have ever lived in. Nothing but problems since the first day I moved in. Stained carpets, obvious pet odor from the previous tenant (refused to acknowledge on move-in check list), holes in the wall, janky drawstrings on blinds. And that's just what I saw at move-in. I reported a bug infestation before I had even put food in the kitchen. Have reported multiple infestations since move in and have completely given up on storing groceries at home. It is disgusting and they have literally never responded to my reports with attached photos. I order delivery on the regular or eat out to avoid using this disgusting kitchen. The property has a known package thief, as in the management literally knows exactly who it is because they've matched the video surveillance to one of their tenants, yet they refuse to do anything about it aside from closing a security gate over the package room outside of office hours. If you work outside your home between the hours of 10-5, good luck ever getting your packages. On that same note, multiple car break-ins in the garage, likely the same "neighbor". The package system is managed by a third party and they charge you a late fee if you don't retrieve your packages within 48 hours. The apartment office personnel refuse to accept packages from couriers or show them how to use out package system. Couriers consistently leave packages in the lobby since the security gate is so often blocking their way. I have pointed out to the manager that it is illegal to impede the delivery of post, never received a reply. If you have a dog, forget about safe walks around the block. Broken glass everywhere. No one picks up after their own dogs mess. If you don't have a dog, still look elsewhere for safe walks. I've lost count of how many times I've heard gunfire and seen notices of assaults outside our building. The apartment management is understaffed, under-qualified or just do not care. I have seen three different people in charge. The one that signed my lease agreement and toured me around originally (of course in a pristine unit), another that was always out on cigarette breaks and staring off into space anytime you reported any issues to her, and the current manager who I see more due to her living on my floor, but almost never in the office. The office hours posted are bogus. They come in late, leave early or don't open the office at all. Latest issue that's caused me to snap is their refusal to help in a locked door emergency. A family member of mine tried to unlock the door, flimsy key snapped in the lock. My ESA was inside and he was there to dogsit overnight. He went to the office to ask for help and while the apartment manager was there, she said there was nothing she could do after office hours, evidently not caring that my ESA would be locked in the unit for who knows how long had my cousin not called a locksmith. Locksmith tried to get the key out, but regardless without a spare key, he had to drill out the bolt to get my dog out. I called emergency maintenance the next day and they don't have spare door locks on premises and doesn't know when he'll have a replacement, not to mention it's going to cost me over $500. It's been 48 hours that my apartment cannot be locked and I don't have any word from anyone when it will be fixed. I am miserable in this apartment. These people running the place are useless. I will steer anyone considering to move here as far away as I can, any chance I get. read more

The leasing office does not care about your concerns or complaints. They do not respond to emails or inquiries. Tenants smoke weed in their units and it wafts through the hallways and sometimes the bathroom vents. In the summer, they will smoke weed on the patio so you can't open your own windows. Hallways smell like wet dogs. People throw up in the hallway and garage. Leasing office likes the leave it there for weeks before cleaning it. Safety is an issue too. A woman was assaulted on the property a few months back. Don't lease here. read more

Great location, average amenities, incredibly disappointing experience. Hands down, the worst thing about Array is their lack of responsiveness. During the 2+ years that I lived there, I watched the place fall apart. The office was rarely ever open -- often closed even during posted hours. I saw several whole-office staff turnovers and a complete drop off in communication from both building and corporate management. read more

ATTENTION WARNING: Array "claims" that they sent an email to all their residents stating that they no longer accept oversized packages. One of the girls at the office said that there was an email sent out in October... Both my fiancé and I checked our emails and saw absolutely nothing pertaining information about how Array is no longer taking oversized packages! ***I have provided pictures to prove that my two packages were NOT oversized*** It gets better! Not only did Array refuse two of my packages, I found out that they refused both my packages because they did not have any space in the lockers??? How is this my responsibility?! And because Array refused my packages, I ended up going to the store to buy dog food when I should have had it on April 3, 2019. So frustrating and a huge waste of my time. This place is going down hill so quickly! Management sucks. Staff members in the front office are all incompetent and have ZERO training. The office is closed at the most random times and I refuse to speak with the staff members at the front office anymore because whenever I check in, it always turns into a "he said, she said story" super annoying. So, from now on, everything will be in written form, so I can have something to lean back on. That is how incompetent this apartment is. NO ONE HAS A CLUE WHAT THEY ARE DOING... BUT HERE'S THE GOOD PART! If you are looking for a place where you can get away with things like smoking cigarettes/marijuana inside your apartment, garage or any other illegal substances come live here because the office will never do anything. OH, also if you are the type of person who doesn't like to pick up after your dogs... COME LIVE HERE! There's plenty of dog poop for everyone to step on!! It's GREAT. If you love dealing with broken elevators, fire alarms at 3am, technical problems with the fob key COME LIVE HERE. In conclusion, you can get away with pretty much anything here. Hey Array apartment, if you are reading this I would love to see that email that was sent out in "October"! :] And maybe this is a good clue to start COMMUNICATING with your residents.. hmm.. read more

The security has been a issues at this location. The garage is controlled accessed but my car window has been broken in the last month. (Photos attached). The security cameras does not cover the whole or better part of the garage. The security team that's hired are a joke. They are mostly sleeping when your car window is broken. Someone recently got into the stairway and liked to make music by beating on the walls at 1am. They also like to write cool things on the walls just so you know they were there. ‍‍ 1 Star only because I can't give a lower rating. I'm sure you will see a customer service manager under this post with damage control pretty soon. It's the norm to stay face. read more

I lived in the south building for 5 years, and was the first person to move into my unit. The first few years, I mainly dealt with Tara and Ryan who have long since moved on and they were excellent in terms of responding to any of my concerns in person or via email. Definitely a great complex to live in if you're looking to commute to downtown or UW, as there are various bus routes which will get you to where you need to go. The online payment system was easy via their RentCafe portal and their Package Concierge service is pretty useful since you can pickup your stuff when no one is in the office, note that they will start charging you after a few days I believe. They do regularly host community events like BBQs and Taco Tuesdays, and I'm not sure if this was the case early on (didn't seem like it or maybe their presence wasn't felt) but I noticed these events were getting sponsored by companies such as CenturyLink so expect a pitch. As it is in most apartment complexes, you will hear noise from neighbors (especially running in the rooftop area if you're below it) but more often than not the bigger issue (as mentioned by others) was the fire alarm that would get set off by pranksters with some regular occurrence at late hours. Unfortunately, like most places in Seattle they jacked up my rent to a higher level than that of someone who would agree to a new lease and I decided to move out, and this is where the fun begins! My official move out date was the 24th of June, and I was expecting a letter or an email with a detailed listing of all the move out charges (I paid a $200 deposit and did not expect to get it back due to the utility charges that were pending) but I never got one. Instead, I started getting weekly emails asking me to pay the balance (even after I subsequently paid) with no mention of any specific line items mentioning a deposit (which by law you are supposed to get within 21 days according to RCW 59.18.280.) I sent an email on the 24th of July asking about that, waited a week, and received no response. I called them on the 31st around lunch and could only get the sales pitch recording. I showed up the next day and spoke with Jeanette, who cleared things up somewhat; it turns out I had a $75.00 late fee tacked on, then removed (because my last payment wasn't late) but for some reason that wasn't reflected in their payment system. She printed out a detailed sheet which included the deposit amount and deducted that late fee; I was left under the impression that would get fixed, but it wasn't. On 8/5 I called the "Debt Logic, Inc." payment service which was mentioned in the emails I received, and I was told that "no account statement was sent to them" and to not worry until that happens, yet I had to pay the amount within twenty something days... OK? Their online payment system only allows you to pay the full amount (plus a $4.85 "handling fee",) not a partial sum; clicking on "Enter Payment Details" and "Change" takes on a never-ending loop. I ended up having to go back to the apartment building, handing the check over to Jeanette, got a receipt (very important) for the amount paid, and thought that was it... ... but lo and behold 3 months later after coming back from vacation, I get a debt collection notice from a "Columbia Debt Recovery DBA Genesis" for the wrong amount I was being billed for months earlier! So now, I have to challenge this BS, keep an eye on my credit rating, etc. because even though they're called Array, they can't keep their variables in order. So folks, when you decide to move out make sure to keep every paper, every receipt, have the contact info of all relevant state agencies handy, and lawyer up if necessary! read more

I'm giving two stars only because the prior management team was excellent. Sadly things have diminished greatly at this apartment complex. These are only a few things to do as a property manager and sadly the team here fails at many of these things. 1, charge the correct rent. Something that became a problem w the online portal the last 4/5 months we lived there resulting in over charges of nearly $600 per month! Which in each case the office said would be fixed but this never happened. 2 don't lie to tenants. The management team instituted a referral program. The only problem was the lack of payment for said referrals. After 4 months of being told we'd receive it "next week" when seasons change faster than the follow up done by the property. Prior to moving out gf and I checked w neighbors who were friends and lo and behold. Two other couples has experienced the same thing. One or the couples like us felt this was a scam and recommended contacting the AG's office once they moved out to avoid reprisals. So I'm leaving tons of other details out for brevity. But word to the wise. Steer clear! Scammers lay here! As of tomorrow I'll be speaking to the state attorney gen office on housing as its been 30 days since we gave them formal notice to correct the prior mentioned items as well as various other flagrant violations of RCW as well as filing a BBB complaint as enough is enough. read more

My friend scheduled a tour for today at 12 and we drove 45 minutes to get there and turns out they rented it out that morning. Didn't call to inform the people who were interested or anything. Drove all that way just to find out there was no apartment for her to look at. Basic communication is severely lacking. read more

Update 2022: Seems like Array Apartments takes pride and joy in sending their previous tenants to debt collectors. I did my due diligence and contacted the office/billing folks multiple times via email and phone calls to rectify the erroneous move out charges. Did my due diligence, sent over all my documentations immediately and never heard back on the resolution. Now months later here we are. I will certainly be taking action against them for causing this undue and warranted stress to have to clear this up. read more

The security at array Apartments is horrible. There isn't any. The storeroom units inside the garage have been broken into repeatedly and everything in there gets trashed. There's absolutely no cameras, and the leasing office actually told me I should buy my own camera. I pay for the services and security that they are supposed to offer, and that should not be my job. You have to have renters insurance, but for what? Have yet to get any out reach from management. They don't care, at all read more

Trust the bad reviews and consider reading through them before deciding to move here. Management is nice to you until you move in then rude when you move out. The entrance by the park always smells really bad and they never fixed this during the year I was there. I hated it here so much that I only stayed here once a week every month the second half of my lease and left my unit vacant for almost two months. I moved during the virus and they let me schedule a walk through but did not let me know that they were not doing walk throughs. They take forever to respond to emails and miss a lot of my phone calls. They denied my walk through and charged me fees left and right, taking all of my deposit money and made me owe more on top. I was told I would get my deposit and an itemized statement within five days after my lease ended - instead I get a document saying I owe money for carpet cleaning and that's it. They did not say where the charges came from or provide pictures, etc. I sent them an email asking what it is and I get a rude email with no hello or anything starting with "there is no deposit due back to you -------- we charged the bare minimum". They did not even sign their name but I know who exactly who it was. They are all nice at first don't trust anyone here - they just want your money. Legally, they have no right to charge for anything that is not considered normal wear and tear. There was nothing wrong with my apartment and because they did not let me have a walk through, they had no right to charge me cleaning fees and carpet cleaning fees. They even charged the wrong amount for carpet cleaning - thats how you know they are charging fees just because without reason. When I moved in I borrowed one of their carts and I went in the office to return it. I wasn't sure where to leave it so I waited there until I could get Amy's attention. She ignored me for a bit until the guest said hey I think she needs help and she goes "you were first honey" and continued to ignore me. Well I clearly just had a question - why would you just continue to ignore me? Bottom line, I got my deposit money back. If you don't want to deal with tenants arguing with you, why give them a reason to argue in the first place? Don't set fires if you can't out them out. Do not live here. Its a nice building in a terrible area and filled with dog owners who let their dogs pee all over the property. read more

Believe all the bad reviews here because they are 100% true. Poor communication from staff. Maintenance was good the first few months and then went south toward the end of our lease - we had an issue with our closet door breaking, dude took our door, said he'd be right back, and never returned with a door. I asked the staff if there's anything I need to do on moving out, and all they said was to return the keys. I thought it was weird but too stressed about moving out to question it. I then find out, through a survey I got today, I was supposed to do a move-out inspection - so, I did have to do something, but I was unaware of it. What else didn't they tell me? Packages stolen. Someone was assaulted in our building across from us, so security is a joke. Elevators smell like dog piss. Fire alarms going off 5+ times in 6 months with no reason why. Predatory rent deal that went from $1300/mo to $1800/mo. which is WAY too much for the services this place provides and too much for the area in general. Despite all this BS living here, I was willing to negotiate a rent amount that would be fair to both of us and received silence. If ConAm/Array sends me a bill for something that was not communicated to me I will take them to court. I've had it with this place, I don't want them to contact me ever again. Worst mistake I've made was moving here. I bet they're going to respond with this meaningless drivel: "We're sorry to hear that your experience with Array Apartments has been less than stellar. We take our resident's feedback very seriously and want to do everything we can to ensure you have a comfortable stay in one of our apartment homes. Please feel free to contact our Community Manager at manager@arrayapts.com, if you need anything at all. Have an amazing day!" Do not wish me an amazing day. read more

Update: I spoke to the regional manager (Renee Villager 206-800-1961) and she was as worthless as expected. She said she's aware of all the problems, which I think she thought was gonna make me feel better but it was actually more annoying to hear. You're aware and clearly just don't care. She also said they're working on fixes but it will take a while... so are tenants expected to just pay rent and put up with it longer because you can't do your job? Basically the incompetents goes beyond the array and to conam management. Not surprising. read more

Ex resident.That being said, I have mostly positive feedback for this apartment community. After looking up several apartments in my desired area and location I found this little Gem, its perfect for downtown commuters as it is on a bus line and less than 20 minutes from downtown. I've mostly only dealt with Tara, the assistant manager, who is awesome! She was always very nice, professional and helpful. During my time there I noticed that there are a lot of younger (mid 20's to early 30's) students/professionals. The gym is 24 hours and there is a common area perfect for having guest. There's also a rooftop space, super nice in summer and the courtyard is perfect for hanging out. The apartments are cute, modern and spacious. I'm was not a fan of the carpet though, but I never had to worry about stains. The paint was more of an eggshell so it did leave a lot a little marks when something brushed up against them. But these are just personally quirks of mine and did not deter the likability of the complex. The only downside is a) parking and b) access. Parking is $95 bucks a month, but the spaces are itty bitty I had to move at least 3 times before I found a space that worked for my size vehicle and was still a pretty tight squeeze! Now building access, when they say it's secure, they are correct! Lake city, while expensive, is still a very seedy area, and knowing that no one could access the building without getting buzzed in was nice. However, there is a downside to the secure access. You can't access any of the floors without a key card so guest must be buzzed in the building from your unit and the elevator will only take them to that floor, that nice, but there's only one elevator and it often took a while. When it was delayed the elevator would basically "timeout" the access entered for the specific floor and people would be stuck, so I would have to leave my apartment and meet them in the lobby. This kind of made ordering out a pain as well. When I moved out, it was super easy and the fees were minimal. As an apartment renter for the last 10 years this was the best apartment community to date! read more

I just moved in. Professionalism on the part of the staff and a beautiful complex with great amenities has been my only experience at Array. Jo-Anne is especially nice. If I get tired of the gym, right over the hill is lake Washington, and on a longer run I can make it to the bike path along the shore. Starbucks across the street and a quaint park is situated behind the south building which is always filled with kids. The security in the building feels good. There is a lounge with free wifi, and the rooftop deck and courtyard have grills. There is also a nice water fountain and gas fed fire feature. The floor plans are modern, the appliances are stainless, and all the lights are LED, keeping the energy costs low. Parking is secured and is a must because on street parking is sketchy. The same company manager Oregon42 in West Seattle. It is the sister building to this one, and prices are the same, but for commuting this location is better. Express lane starts right of Lake City Way, means I can make it to downtown in 10mins on a good day or 25mins on a bad day. Not bad for 10miles. The express lane access makes all the difference. read more

I wish I could give this apartment complex a better review. We lived here for a little under a year and recently moved. The complex is recently built (I think 2013), relatively nice amenities, a gym, roof top, court yard, club room, and a parking garage (You can get 2 parking spots per apartment which is generous.). The location is just ok as far as restaurants and access to the city goes you'll need a car to go to most places, but for the price you get decent square footage. My problem with this complex is management. The staff is not particularly good at their jobs. When we first looked at this apartment we saw a traditional 1 bed 1 bath, we tried to apply for the apartment a few days latter but, unfortunately the apartment had already been applied for. Jennifer the building manger called us and told us we could apply for another 1 bed 1 bath the only difference was the apartment was ADA. She said that the only difference between the ADA and a regular unit was that the counters would be lower the bathroom would have railing and the appliances would be lowered however it would still have a wall and door. The catch was we could not see the apartment before we apply due to state regulation. We apply for the apartment as I liked the building/amenities and I was moving from out of state and I didn't have much time too look around. Fast forward 6 weeks and to our surprise when we moved in we didn't get a 1 bed 1 bath we received a urban one bedroom/studio where the room had 3 giant sliding glass doors with absolutely no privacy, instead of a wall and door. Needless to say we were furious that we were not given the unit as described. The staff was not apologetic at all especially considering the building manager didn't even know what their apartment inventory was or what it looked like. Jennifer didn't not offer any kind of compensation for the mistake no free parking or a month off. The only options she gave was to terminate our lease (it was June so the rental market was at it's peek), or to move into a unit with almost 70 square feet less for the same price. Both options were essential slaps in the face. We decided to keep the lease as it would have been a nightmare to find a new location in the middle of summer. I wish I could say the experience after that was pleasant but it was not. We had over 4 fire alarms evacuations in less than a year of living in the unit. I wanted to change parking spots to the spot next to me only to be told the spot would be 120 a month because it was "premium parking". Latter after speaking to the person who moved into the spot they informed be they only payed 95 a month. Maintenance does not clean up the common areas unless a work order is placed. Finally the cherry on the cake was we met some neighbors on our floor while moving out who had just moved from out of state as well and said that they also were given a unit that was completely different then described, and were also not provided compensation. Which at best is a extremely incompetent coincidence, at worst an extremely shady sales tactic. Having said all that I will say they were fair when it came or to the move out inspection so that was one thing positive thing I can say for management. Over all I wouldn't recommend this building especially if you're from out of state. But if you do decide to move there please make sure you only sign a lease for an apartment you have already walked through. read more

SCAM!!! My partner and I recently applied at this property after responding to an add posted on zillow. The apartment was exactly what we were looking for so we didn't mind the $300 application fee at all. It wasn't until after we paid them that we were informed the apartment in question wasn't actually available. Since all they did have available wasn't at all what we wanted, we requested a refund on the application fee. We were the informed that it's against company policy to provide a refund. This is clearly a scam they're running so please, do not waste your time and money falling for any of their advertisements like we did. read more

Haven't been living here for very long so my opinion might change over time. Definitely does not meet up to the standards as my last apartment. I'll start off by saying that the apartments are completely new and look incredibly nice; especially for the monthly rent. But I do feel it is fair considering the location of the apartments. If you don't drive, then it can be incredibly tedious trying to cross the street to get to Array. You can either get off 137th St and walk backwards waiting for two very long lights or get off 145th St and wait for two very long lights. There really isn't anything interesting within walking distance. Maybe in the next year or two. They do have a large fitness area with several equipment that is really nice. The courtyard is semi finished. Not sure where any of the trash cans are. They have no trash cans anywhere! Rooftop isn't finished yet. There is also a nice common area for residents. We aren't allowed to drink there which I can somewhat understand but also loses it's appeal to have guests over in that area and just relax or meet other fellow residents. The last apartment I stayed at also had a nice common area and alcoholic beverages were not an issue. I rarely drink but it just feels like this place has many restrictions. Something I am not too fond of is the lack of convenience. If you want to order AmazonFresh, forget trying to do unattended delivery because they don't allow them up on your floor. Even the delivery guy was surprised. He said he has only encountered maybe 2 other places in Seattle that don't allow delivery people on other floors. Their reasoning was that it would be "awkward". Not really a good reason in my opinion. The second inconvenience is that they are unable to leave your packages outside or inside your apartment when you are unable to get it during their office hours. So if you need a package no matter how important it is for you to receive that day, you can forget about it. We were also told that we would receive e-mails notifying us of packages but that seems to be a future perk; Unsure when that will be. The folks that work here are pretty nice so far. No real complaints there. The residents usually keep to themselves and it seems a lot of them are afraid of dogs. I've said "hi" to a few people and get a weird look. I do run into the occasional resident that have dogs themselves. Luckily the nicest people I've met live across the hall from me. I keep reading other Yelpers saying that professionals live here. Not really sure what that means to them but I have not encountered or seen any professionals living here. So overall, the apartment itself is very nice and livable. If the rent stays low, then I will likely stay for another year. If they made some changes to cater more to the residents comfort and convenience then I would update my rating. For now it is "A-OK". Definitely worth checking out if you are looking for something nice on a lower budget. read more

This place is stunning. The management is great. They really go above and beyond. I mean you are ten minutes from downtown. 5 minutes from north gate and the people that live here are business professionals. I came from Los Angeles and all I can say is wow they were helpful on the phone helpful on telling me how to get to places and they still check to see if I am ok. So please come check out this place it's a little gem in North Seattle. Tommy!!!! read more

Do not live here. The management staff is unreliable. They take days or even weeks to respond to emails. They will try to bind you into a lease extension and force you to pay after you have already moved out. The neighborhood is also very dangerous. Recently there was a shooting and a swat team had to shut down the whole block. While living there, my car window was broken into and stuff was stolen from my car. I've had to run into the building before because of dangerous men on the streets. It is no where near shopping like they claim. The closest thing is McDonald's and a Taco Bell. Not a safe area for a family. read more

"Amatuer Hour" seems to sum Array up for me. I found them online and was excited about an offering listed on their site indicating an unit available 8/5. After 2 emails and a voice message I left were not returned, I decided to just go there to talk to someone. I was told the unit would not be available to show until the end of the week (8/6 or 8/7). So, I scheduled an appointment for today, 8/8. This morning, the unit is now listed as available 8/28 which does not work for me. Not only that, upon my arrival, I was told they were "absolutely not" able to show me the unit despite the facts that it was no longer occupied and I had an appointment to see that specific unit. They seemed generally cold and confused to see me both times. If this is any indication of what living here would be like, I'll pass. read more

What Array is: Great Managment team, willing to help and work with you. I recently migrated from one unit to another and the experience was as great. Array's management has always been a pleasure to work with. I will also note they have consistent staff at Array. I have only seen a few people change since I first moved in. -Maintenance issues are quick to be resolved -The grounds are well kept Units: The apartments are nice, they have modern appliances and real quarts counters. They are very well sealed. I have had ZERO noise issue with neighbors in my 3 years here. Some units will experience heat issues in the summer time so if you do not like the heat make sure to get a unit not facing the sun. Windows swing outward so finding a good method for using a portable AC can be difficult. I tend to get a plastic type poster board and cut it to fit inside the bezel of the window. This way no adhesive is needed as air is forced out of your apartment, the ingress pressure pushes in on the board sealing it via negative air flow. Heating is done with individual wall units. You can better control what rooms need heat or and which do not. Things to be aware of: Parking: As with many of these types of complexes There is no public parking so if you have guests they are going to have to park in the area near the complex. Parking inside the secure garage is $95. Most of the spaces are very tight. I highly recommend you examine what space you are getting before signing. I did have items taken from my car one time. Mailing and Packages: General USPS mail 24-hour access Packages - office hours ( but this is changing ) Array is installing a locker unit for 24-hour packages so unless it's a huge item or the lockers are full 24-hour package pickup will be coming soon. Internet Options: Comcast Centurylink Fiber - Yes as in there is a direct fiber line and ONT in your unit. Gig available No modem needed as long as you have a router which can use PPoE over with a tagged VLAN 201 on the WAN port Area: Transitional Pricing: As of right now, I am paying ~$1500 for a 790sqf unit one bed + Den. For Seattle, it is a decent price for now. Again with these types of places be aware nothing is included with rent. Utilities, garbage, water...ect are billed to you individually. The good thing here is the units tend to be very efficient. LED lights are installed in most of the fixtures. I have paid as low as $22.50 for 2 months of electricity. Average has been around $50 for two months of electricity. How you can Pay: You can pay online with a bank account or by check. No credit card options. Sewer is auto added to your rent bill. Electric is paid through Seattle Public Utilities. read more

Array Apartments - View from top (6th) floor Array South Building - Apartments Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Be aware that when you move out of array a yr and a half later a collector may call you to say you owe array for a cleaning service.

Terrible customer service, we got there 15 minutes left flor the office to close and was treated very badly, the guy would not show me anything and just told the price, it's a shame because we had consideres to move there. The person who is in front desk has no ability to reconize to potential customers. Very very bad experience!!!! read more

Loved this apartment so much! It was a really great experience living at the arrays. Wish I could've stayed longer but due to some family issues I had to move out and I honestly miss it already! The move out was a little stressful as it was very sudden. Jennifer made that process so much easier and better. She was so helpful and kind. She is amazing!! Definitely would recommend this place! read more

I've been living here for a year and a half. To be honest the management is very cooperative and professional. The building is new and in an excellent condition. The reason why I'm moving out is the increasing rent which is too expensive compared to the location of the building. Pros: good management, new building, prompt maintenance, good gym, nice common room and outdoor bbq area, easy access to buses, near Walgreens and Fred Meyer. Cons: traffic on Lake City Way is annoying and wakes me up all the time, rent and utilities are expensive, and the neighborhood is not that safe. It was a good place to live at if the rent was the same as I first came here. read more

JENNIFER- She is the property manager and she is AMAAAAZING! My husband and I were moving from out of state, so you can only imagine how stressful moving is for us. But Jennifer gave us the best experience possible. Our situation was not the easiest to deal with, but she handled it (... and me, and my anxiety ) with grace and professionalism. She answered all my questions and was very quick to reply to all my emails. I always seem to be able to contact her with no problem! Jennifer was very informative, and upfront with what needed to happen all the while helping us with our move in. When the time came from our drive from Southern California to move in to Seattle, we were behind schedule, and Jennifer stayed past their office time to move us in. She is SO great, and I wish I can give her tooons of stars here in Yelp. She always has the best attitude and is ready to help. The unit that we have is perfect for what we need right now. My kitchen is a dream, and I can't wait to decorate our new home. :) We have modern fixtures and the wood flooring is so pretty! THANK YOU JENNIFER FOR ALL YOU DO!! You seriously are heaven sent!! read more

I lived at Array for 1.5 years. I re-signed a lease after one year because I needed more time to find another place. My rent went up significantly. Pros - the apartments are spacious and designed beautifully. I fell in love at first sight, but reality set in during my first month. Cons - Where do I begin? High-crime area - one day when I was working from home there was a police standoff across the street with suspects inside. There was a break-in to the storage units in the garage and it was up to the tenants to report it to the police. Scary. No parking for guests - there is no onsite parking, on street parking is very hard to come by and the neighborhood is just not safe, especially for guests visiting at night. Underground parking is $95 and is (falsely) "secured". I needed to move some things out of my storage unit one day and had a friend with a truck come to assist me. One of the staff members menaced my friend while he was waiting for me to come down (all of 5 minutes) because he was parked in the retail parking space under the building where the storage locker entrance was. The traffic noise from Lake City Way is really bad. The construction of the building is no match for the noise pollution. Really horrible. The staff is nice, but they were rarely on the same page when asked a question. The policies seemed to shift. Bottom line: Not safe. Too expensive. Not properly managed. Noise pollution. read more

Lived here for around 2 years. I had studio room and it was awesome. They have sliding door for the room so it feels like you have 1 bedroom. The staff is friendly and nice. Good facilities. They also have MFTE program which is really nice! read more

A little bit about myself before you proceed to read my review, I am an undergraduate student at UW who works part-time in downtown Seattle. I lived there from October 2016-August 2017 on an 11-month lease in a 2-bedroom/2-bath with my sister. PROS For starters, the building is beautiful and well-kept throughout the year. The staff is good, my favorite being Tara, who let me tour the vicinity, walked me through the rental process (because this was my first experience renting an apartment), and almost always answered my calls and emails whenever I had any questions. They're also quick to respond to maintenance requests, they usually do it within 1-3 days (usually in 1 day). They also have a new package system where you are assigned a cubby (aside from your mailbox) that secures any packages you receive that way packages don't congregate at their desks and you don't have to wait until their open hours to get your package(s). The rooms they offer are really nice, especially the kitchen and bathroom. I was definitely in love with the countertops they used. The location is pretty convenient because it's along the 522 where commuter buses are constantly driving on. I'd take the 372, that goes straight to UW (30-min bus ride), and the 522, that goes to downtown (40-60min bus ride) just about every day. It's convenient because you only have to take 1 bus, rather than multiple if you're not living along the 522. That being said, it also benefits going north if you want to go to Kenmore or Bothell (you'd ride the same buses I've mentioned). I didn't care too much about the other amenities they offered, but they do have a 24-hour gym and a public space area for gatherings. It's cute and clean, I just never went there unless I wanted to use their free wifi. CONS Lake City is pretty ghetto, and you'll notice Array is literally the only nice building in Lake City. But that being said, I've never been put in any danger and have learned to feel safe in this neighborhood. It's really just the surrounding buildings that psyche me out, but no real danger. But always come prepared and be precautious (as you should anywhere in the world). This is a dog-friendly area, so although it's nice to see cute dogs everywhere, just keep in mind, sometimes the hallways carry the stench of these furry creatures especially on a rainy day. Parking is a little tricky even for a compact car, the parking spaces are fairly tight, so you gotta be a master at parking straight or risk getting dinged by the car next to you. But it is secure and they try to give you a spot closest to the elevator that leads to your room. Move-out costs will bite you in the ass, but you'll get over it. I'd advise you just let them handle the carpet cleaning because they're cheaper than anything you can find professionally. Rent is pretty high, but you expect that moving-in to Seattle. But the price definitely reflects the benefits (gated community, secure, nice building, close to transit, spacious rooms, etc.). WSG is all added into your rent when it's time to pay and electricity is paid separately. I guess some key advice, the bottom floor gets really cold during the winters because heat rises, so you'll end up using your heater more which eventually adds up when you're paying your electricity bill. But on the bright side, it's nice and cool for the summer when all the other floors are getting hit by the sun and have no AC to cool them down. All-in-all, my sister and I had a very positive experience here and probably would've stayed if rent hadn't been raised (not Array's fault, just rising costs in Seattle, of course). It's a beautiful place and was a wonderful place to stay at while I was still there. Even when I was already moved out, the office staff kept some of my old mail after I called ahead time because I knew my army boyfriend would still be sending me letters to my old address before he'd receive my new one. So, I was able to head back there and pick it up, and the staff still seems as nice as they were before! read more

The Bottom Line: this community is clean, managed by caring and conscientious people, and convenient to many major thoroughfares. If I hadn't left Seattle, I wouldn't have left Array! Pros: Modern & spacious, updated stainless steel appliances, amenities including courtyard with grills and gym (including a yoga/movement area), incredible / understanding management - they will know who you are and work with you if there's ever an issue. Like any building, there will occasionally be a problem, so it's great that Array always handles things with kindness, expedience, and professionalism. Cons: Lake City is rapidly improving but not yet as safe or walkable as would be ideal. Location-location-location holds true -- you have to accept the neighborhood. That being said, I lived here as a single young woman and never had any problems (not even late at night). In addition, the gym here is very small for the number of units it serves, so at peak hours it can be difficult to find a spot. Neutral: Like pretty much all large buildings, there's not designated guest parking available. read more

This place is a joke. While it's true it's a brand new building the rents are really high compared to comparable units in the area. I was thinking about applying here but the office staff was incredibly rude and unable to answer basic questions, seriously I've never seen such a unprofessional operation. read more

***MOVE IN IF YOU WANT TO GET COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF WHEN YOU MOVE OUT (They charged me for so much stuff including the toilet leak on floors, which should be a maintanance problem, and insisted my dog caused this. My dog never goes potty in the bathroom.)*** This apartment has a beautiful complex and great interior in each unit. I However, there are somethings that makes me think that this apartment is not really fitting for me. I live in the South building and it is extremely noisy. Often in the morning, I hear this noise that maintenance people are working on something and moving the garbages. These are something that cannot be done but it is EXTREMELY loud and it is very stressing. Especially when the garbage truck comes, it is intolerable. Also, I moved to this apartment because it is "Smoke Free" apartment. However, I can often smell the marijuana or cigarette in the building or in the parking lot.I even saw people who are smoking in the complex. When I talked about it, they said there are nothing really they can do unless I tell them how they exactly look like. Because of the location of the building, I just would smell the smoke as I open the window. So it has to remain closed. Next, I understand this is a brand new apartment but they deduct too much after move out. I do understand the things that needs to be replaced and fixed but I just got the impression that they are trying to rip people off. I heard that they use a different company to fix some things rather than the maintenance office fixing them so It makes the price go up higher than other apartments. Lastly, I feel like I dont have privacy living here. Everyone of the office members (including maintenance) know about me and the issues I have talked to one of the office members. Also, they have many of this annual check up thing often that they come into the units after sending the notice few days before. If it is more like once a year, i would understand but I remember that I got that notice several times. I was so stressed because I felt I need to be at home. Lastly, parking is too expensive. It is almost $100 a month. Most of the times, the garbage chute is clogged up so people just leave the garbage in front of it. The neighborhood is very unsafe. I saw shooting happened in the apartment few blocks away. I came because of the beautiful complex, but I don't know if that was a right choice. read more

These apartments are spacious, beautifully appointed, great amenities, and the management is tremendous! I have truly loved living here.

Pros: nice looking apartments for the price. Nice amenities available. Great front office staff that are really helpful and kind (shoutout to Tara and Ryan!). The soundproofing is pretty decent between apartments and overall people are generally quiet. Things do seem to be sealed well and I haven't had to use my heat yet. Overall for the price, it's way nicer than anything you'd find close to UW campus or Capitol Hill. I have a 1 bedroom (no den but do have a pantry in the kitchen) around 700sqft (might be bigger but I can't remember) and pay 1285. I have great credit and rental history and rented during a time when rent is typical cheaper. Not sure how people are able to get larger units for less money and what criteria they look at when considering how much they charge you. We paid a 250 non refundable fee and 250 deposit. Both amounts are also known to fluctuate. Hopefully this can help future residents with negotiating. Cons: the neighborhood is bad, but you kind of know that going into the situation so that isn't going to affect my rating. Be smart and don't leave stuff in your car and you should be fine. There are no cameras on the residents' floors. There was a huge fight at one of the apartments and some guy was super drugged and the cops came and arrested him. It seems like it has been handled though (hopefully!) The biggest thing that makes me uncomfortable is that we have a lot of non residents coming in trying to use the gym and community room with their friends. Because we signed a contract stating that we'd be liable for people we let into the apartment complex, it would be great to have some kind of sign posted on the door stating "no fob, no access" or something similar. On any given night there are half a dozen people pounding on the doors trying to convince you to let them in (Friday night there were 10 in the span of 2 hours). So a: you either have to be a jerk and ignore them or b: you have to let them in and be responsible for any damage they cause. Tonight the security guard (toothless guy named John) just starts letting people in (around 1am). If they don't have a fob at this hour, then how are they even able to use the elevators?! That's a pretty good sign that they aren't residents and shouldn't be allowed in! That risks the safety of anyone in the building. Another thing that was brought to my attention after signing the paperwork is regarding the deposit. The staff that checked us in said they don't give the deposits back because they have to hire a cleaning crew to deep clean everything at $95/hour. So even if you clean your apartment well or hire someone you're not going to get your money back because they send someone in there to pull out the appliances and clean behind them etc. However, when we were checking in we noticed the top shelf in the cabinets in the kitchen and the counters in kitchen and bathroom were covered in dust, there were food crumbs in the bottom drawer in the oven, two black mold spots in the crisper of the fridge, green gunky buildup around the faucet of the bathroom and urine at the base of the toilet. It also doesn't look like the floor has ever been mopped. I thought maybe it was the coloring of the wood, but when I went to wipe up some water it was filthy and we don't wear shoes in the house and have only been here about a week so I know it isn't us. So it doesn't look like their deep clean was done very well. Not sure it's worth the $95 they charge when you have to re-clean as soon as you move in. I was also told that your last bill is sent to a third party collections agency. So after losing your whole deposit, you still owe them money and they send it straight to collections rather than allowing you to pay directly. Will update regarding utilities once we get our first metered bill (they do estimates and actual metering). If they got a security guard who did more than chill in the lounge and let nonresidents in, and posted signs about needing your fob for access, this would be closer to a 4-star place. read more
