I have been a resident of CityWatch apartments for over seven years, and while the location is…read morefantastic--within walking distance of grocery stores and the Alaska Junction, with reasonable rent for the area--the recent decline in the overall quality has prompted us to leave CityWatch and share my experience here. Unfortunately, the current state of the apartment, under the management of Mario, is no longer suitable for families, especially those with children. One of the significant issues is the decline in air quality due to residents smoking cigarettes and weed indoors, which not only violates the lease agreement but is also against local laws for multifamily rental apartments. As the manager, Mario has the authority to enforce no-smoking rules, but he seems unwilling or unable to put in the effort to address this issue. Rather than tackling the problem, Mario resorts to placing blame on tenants who raise concerns, going as far as suggesting that multi-family living is not suitable for them and even advising them to consider moving out. This was particularly disheartening, especially given the contrast with the previous manager, Piia. When I reported three separate instances of indoor smoking to her, she responded promptly and handled each case professionally. As a testament to her effectiveness, all three residents ceased smoking indoors immediately and permanently. Several residents have expressed concerns about Mario's inaction against indoor smoking, and his explanations included not being able to identify the source, not being able to inspect homes, denial of any detectable odor, or simply disregarding the complaints, are unsettling. Despite numerous complaints and even escalation to the management company, he insisted that there was no indoor smoking occurring. While denying the existence of indoor smoking and attributing the smell to lingering odors on residents' clothes from smoking outdoors, Mario started using air fresheners exclusively in residential hallways. There are no air fresheners in main hallways, staircases, and elevators--areas one must go through before reaching residential hallways. This is a clear indication that the odor is originating from indoor smoking, rather than lingering smells from outdoor smoking. The decline in cleanliness extends to the common residential areas. Unlike the previous management and maintenance team, Mario and his team neglect to clean residential hallways. The marks and stains from trash and dog waste stay on hallways for months. Prospective tenants should be aware of the building's age and insulation issues. Cold air and smoke smells can seep in through outlets, expect higher electric bills and no way to block the smell coming to your units. During apartment tours, I recommend checking random floors, as well as the trash rooms and recycling areas in the garage, to get a comprehensive understanding of the living conditions at CityWatch. Ask to visit hallways at different hours of day and on different days of the week. While CityWatch apartments boast a convenient location and reasonable rent, the decline in quality under the current management, particularly regarding indoor smoking and cleanliness, is a significant drawback for families and long-term residents like myself.

I have read the reviews and I can't say that I have the same issues. Is this place a magical…read moreWonderland? No not at all, but for me the location, convenience, service and price make it a 4 star location. Pros- Location-near the airports, near my job, near shopping, eateries and entertainment. A hop and skip to downtown Seattle. Price -when I moved in, the apartments in the surrounding area were hundreds more per month than this one. Management- Kody has been awesome. He is always helpful and responsive whenever I have a concern. CTL overall is a good management company. I lived in one of their complexes in UP and had a good experience. Maintenance- I have only called maintenance once and the turn around was prompt. The next day of my recall is correct. Cons- Age-it isn't the newest complex but it is clean and well maintained. Trash- the trash can get a bit full at times on the south side of the complex because the receptacles are small. There are others around the complex if needed. The one near my building is only full around Xmas. Safety-My car wasn't touched but my partners car was broken in to. I haven't had issues with kids making lots of noise. Maybe those people live near the pool/basketball court/childrens play area. There is also a sports field on the west side of the complex that may get loud but I live on the east side. I haven't been accosted by any weirdos. I live in the 3rd floor so no one is on my balcony randomly. The one thing I can say that is true is the car and parking situation. Parking can be scarce of you have more than one vehicle. Cars are also broken into. The reason why this doesn't lower my rating is that I have lived in a gated community with security and still had my car broken into. In both cases I spoke with management, they were responsive in assisting with a solution and it did not happen again. Over all is this a 5 star luxury complex? No of course not but I think it is a great value for what I am getting. It is a good place to live in a great location that fit my budget nicely. My neighbors are nice and they all seem like long term tenets. There are some minor gripes but nothing I haven't experienced with other complexes over the years.

I've lived at Cascade Park Condo's for over eight years. I've come to enjoy the neighborhood…read more Cascade Park has more green grass than any condo community I've ever seen. The association keeps it very attractive. The trees get larger every year - they are very beautiful in the Fall. There are squirrels, ducks and an occasional deer that wander through the Association. If you don't look for them - you probably won't see them. There are several local Parks in the area worth checking out. Down the street is Liberty Park. There is a river that runs under the library. A few miles down the road is Gene Coulon Park - which is one of the biggest secrets of Seattle. There is nearby shopping. This community is in a really nice location. Without a doubt - this is an older condo complex. But if you are willing to overlook a few things - you will discover the real value of the condo, the association and neighbors. The association is in the process of replacing all the roofs so - the dues (aka assessment) is higher than other associations. Each unit has an assigned parking spot. There are visitor spots - I've ever seen all the parking spots full. This is a quiet peaceful association. Every year it will grow on you. I will miss it.

There's a large parking garage where we left our car and then enjoyed walking around admiring the aesthetically pleasing Hyatt. There's even some outdoor gathering spots with fire pits and comfy couches! The showstopper though is without a doubt Water's Table restaurant with gorgeous views of the lake, an innovative menu, and beautiful plating. I keep this place on my date night list whenever the husband asks me where I'd like to go. Perfect spot to enjoy dinner, the sunset, and a walk along the water after.

They aren't owned nor managed by a single company. The Bristol Apartments, for example, is owned by one investment company that is different than the empty towers and the Hyatt is a Hyatt property. It's a bit confusing if this review is for the neighborhood? Do we review neighborhoods now? And it is for all intents and purposes a neighborhood. There's one road in and one road out with the Hyatt, the Bristol, Tra, Peyrassol, the Seattle Family Center, Dock and Drink, and Water's Table filling out the portfolio. It is very pleasant with Coulon Beach Park next door and excellent viewing of fireworks when that resumes. With the parking garage there's plenty of parking though I cannot stress more than ever do not leave any valuables in sight in your vehicle. Southport may be isolated, but that isn't a deterrent for thieves. Personally I'd recommend parking where there's foot traffic since the upper levels are vacant I've only seen smashed out windows at those levels. And it is a pleasant place! In the summers it is busy. The water is so close and the views amazing. I love the four restaurants. It can get loud, and with the exception of a few incidents in 2020 due to people being angry about the mandates at the time it is a very safe space where families, dog walkers, and cute couples gather. Many a wedding takes place in the warmer months so it isn't uncommon to see beautiful gowns and fancy tuxedos, though I'm partial to the Indian weddings since the guests come in beautifully colored saris. There is a lot of diversity at the waterfront and that makes it a wonderful place to be. The winters can be busy too with Coulon Beach Park putting up lights for the holidays and Argosy cruises bringing the Christmas boats by. I always appreciate the carolers. I only wish people would acknowledge the road properly. Drivers ignore the speed limit signs, occasionally just stop in the middle street, or try to double park. Pedestrians often aren't much better because though there's a great sidewalk that connects the docks to the Bristol running up to Coulon Beach Park they'll just walk down the middle of the road like it's a bike path. I have seen a few close calls with pedestrians almost being hit because they're walking down the road instead of the sidewalk. It is a great area.
