Having the pond nearby was a plus and we were within a 25min driving to almost everywhere in Portland. We were a bit concerned how parking 2 vehicles would work since the apartment only comes with 1 spot, but we never had any issues getting a spot in the front lot! We had a top floor apartment and didn't have issues with noisy neighbors. Overall, we would recommend this apartment to anyone!

So these apartments are nice as far as looks inside and out. A beautiful lake that you can walk…read morearound... lots of blackberries to pick. But if you are someone who likes more privacy in an apartment, than I wouldn't suggest these. You can literally hear everything your neighbor is saying or doing. Whether it's next door, downstairs, or upstairs. We live in a 3rd floor 2bed/2ba.. I know apartment living comes with noise, but it should never be this much.. and at the price point. I like quiet, but I also like to function regular in my place without being a disturbance to neighbors.. regular things like having a convo on the phone, sex, using the restroom, arguments, can all be heard as if the people are in your apartment.. parking is also a bit of an issue too...and things break with no real help... Finally things were fixed in the apt. But in general, you can hear your neighbors cough! You can hear whole convos about private info. So in response to Lake Salish, it's no one specific, it's that the walls and floors aren't sound proof, not even a little bit. Paper thin... you can hear everything. No matter which apt you Are in. :)

I am a current resident and have been for the last year. It took me over 4 years to get in here and…read moreI absolutely love this place and its management team. No I'm not a former employee of the property management company. But I am a retired property manager and I can honestly say you get out of the experience exactly what you put into it. FACT OF LIFE, if you are grumpy, always complaining and looking for problems, PEOPLE will avoid you. Not Guardian or the management team, they're pretty patient, but just ordinary people who have no desire to deal with that kind of a person. Before you complain about others first check your own attitude. The apartments are small but very comfortable, well laid out with plenty of room for furniture, sounds contradictory but it's not, lots of storage space and maintenance is friendly and responds faster than most. The park like grounds and buildings are kept immaculate. Yes it's hot in the summer and cold in winter, get an air conditioner and put on a sweater like everyone else in the country! If you're patient you'll find your home here. When you do take the time to get to know the management team and residents, introduce yourself, go to morning coffee, shake a few hands and smile. Like everything else in life, You Get Back Exactly What You Give. IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE. Tony Gilman Current Resident

I've loved living in this complex -- I still find it a very quiet neighborhood with very little crime that I've experienced or seen. Management is responsive, as is maintenance. The grounds are kept clean and maintained, and in the last couple of years they've stepped up getting rid of broken down cars, as was mentioned in another much earlier review. I very much recommend these apartments -- I was a little sad to be moving out.

When the new management came in nothing was the same ever again. Pool rarely open hot tub, never open, the grounds are filthy, dog poop, not picked up by residence, nobody's ever in the office and if they are, they don't answer the phone unless you block the number. Mold, rats, sinking foundations. Even playing favorites with residence, getting Christmas cookies from Costco for some of the residence, but not the rest. When McKenzie and Laura were there, it was amazing, we always got these sweet little Christmas cards and a little token gift every year at Christmas, last year they didn't even put up the Christmas lights. It was extremely depressing and the current owner could care less about the residence. Do yourself a favor don't move there.

Too expensive for the amenities and bunch of riff raff moving in. Seems almost like they don't care how many people are in each apartment as long as their high rent rate gets paid. Trash area used to be locked and we "had to" have our key to get in.. now people just break the handle or the gate open and dump their trash anywhere and everywhere. No cameras to catch the pathetic people leaving their trash a foot away from the compactor. Dirty diapers, broken glass, furniture get left out so you have to obstacle course your way around them to be a good tenant and make your trash into the "can".. our dryer sucks, our washer smells. Could be and should be better.. but it's not. In response to Jason: What improvements have you made? I received a notice yesterday asking residents not to be slobs and then go to take my trash out last night and it's as bad as the pictures I have taken over the past couple of years. I know you don't have control over people's lack of hygiene, but I am genuinely interested in what improvements have and are going to be made. Haven't seen it yet. Update: WE MOVED OUT. There are many positives to be had at this place but also many negatives. Management changes A LOT. I had to fight the management group in court when THEY lost my rent. They also failed to log in 17+ other resident's ("that we know of"). We were harassed with eviction notices and phone calls for 3 months until it was finally resolved. S

Can anyone think of any reason why a situation like this would be acceptable? My parent lives here…read moreand I am absolutely disgusted. Residents are told not to throw their trash away because it's overflowing and are fined if they do throw it away and it's caught on camera. Instead of adjusting to the appropriate frequency of waste removal service, the management lets this happen and then penalizes the residents for utilizing trash service when it's already full. So my parent gets to sit with garbage in the house for days at a time and I even take some with me to dispose of at my house when I go over there and it infuriates me that this is the living situation there. This is just completely unacceptable and absolutely abhorrent. Just disgusted.

My wife and I had been searching for an apartment complex to move to in SE Washington after…read moredownsizing and selling our home in Southern California. We hoped to find one that was affordable, pet-friendly, and close to the Vancouver waterfront which we enjoyed during our prior visits to see family in the the area. The Slate Ridge apartment community met those requirements and then some! We were highly impressed by the beautifully kept grounds around the apartments! This included a variety of tall forest-like trees and open shaded paths between the covered car parking areas. Not only did they have the furnished appliances we needed such as a washer/dryer, stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher, but they also recently remodeled/updated the upstairs apartment with new countertops and cupboards. We worked remotely with our Slate Ridge apartment leasing agent Amanda Baker who was very professional and welcoming! We appreciated both Amanda Baker and the Sltate Ridge community manager Amber Walsh who each took the time to answer all of our questions by email and phone which was comforting to know that our apartment would be ready for us when we arrived after a long two-day drive from California. Amanda even arranged a video walk-through of one of their empty one-bedroom apartment models that we were interested in leasing ahead of our arrival. We were even more impressed with the quick response of their maintenance team of Ron and Randy who responded within a few days after the move-in inspection to remove some older window stripping and replace one of the kitchen cabinet doors. We are enjoying some of the extra amenities here at Slate Ridge including a fenced-in dog park, daily "Valet Trash Pick-Up" at your apartment door, the free freshly grounded Starbucks coffee machine in the clubhouse, and the central mailroom with Amazon locker package service! It's a peaceful apartment complex that is close to a few beautiful community parks, all your shopping stores like Target, Fred Meyer's, Home Depot, Walgreens, a major hospital, a fire department, and a neighborhood bus transit center serving the local Vancouver community, and the Portland International Airport. It truly feels like home here!
