I've lived here for 10 years now. There are good reasons for that. Our current apartment manager is Kody, he does a top rate job. Managing apartments is not easy, there are so many kinds of people, and some very difficult to work with. Our grounds are kept up beautifully, and the apartments themselves are very nice. (Like I said, I've been here 10 years). I love the diversity of tenants too, and meeting my neighbors. We have optional gatherings a few times a year to help get tenants familiar with each other, my favorite is in the summer, when we do a barbecue. The pool is kept really nice, we have lounge chairs around, and security is keen to watch that people nearby that are not residents, don't 'crash' the property to use it. There is also a jungle gym for the little people, and it's well loved. Our workout room in the cabana is clean and big enough for there to be a few people using the machines, weights, and floor at the same time, but not so big that it's overwhelming. Sauna is small, but always nice and clean, and tanning bed. We've almost always had good management, Gabby (that now manages another property) and Kody have been my favorites. As I mentioned, they deal with a wide range of personalities here, and I've seen first hand, Kody deal with tough situations with calm and coolness that I would not able to do. As with any place, we've had tough situations, but how they're dealt with is important. I can always count on any issues within my apartment to be resolved quickly and thoroughly. Our maintenance manager, Seth, is also a very kind, tolerant, patient person. I trust him, and the team, in my unit whether I am there or not. I have two dogs, and never had any issues (they're good dogs) with trouble between maintenance and my dogs. I also love that we are across the street from a fantastic walking trail that goes up towards the third runway at Seatac, it's a bonus to have that option for movement- we have busses that run next to the property, and are very close to the light rail.
The one thing that I'm not happy about is the cost of rent, which is high everywhere and not the fault of Kody or Maple Pointe Apartments. The company that owns Maple Pointe, CTL Management, keeps competitive with the going area rates, (I was going to give 4 stars because of this, but this review is about Kody and Maple Pointe Apartments, not the senior company, CTL management, that could lower cost but doesn't) so it's average with surrounding properties. I've found places higher and lower, but I believe for the price of these apartments, what you get is a great place to live. read more
