    The Cedars Apartments @ 120 E. 17th St. Tusa, 74119. Don't be fooled by the outdated reviews for…read morethis apartment complex. The management company represtative, does not communicate, and the maintenance for the building, and grounds, are neglectfull. The location of the apartments is great, but the building is in ill repair. The building owner lives in Georgia, and is not aware of the issues with the property management. The local advertisments for the property are incorrect. They don't offer 6 month leases, and they will charge for every service you request, if possible. The apartments all require new entry doors. The doors leak cold and hot air, due age and weather damage. The apartments are dark and uninviting! Be aware of what your getting into when applying for residence at this apartment building!!

    All of these reviews are quite old, so I figured I'd update them:…read more Since the apartment viewing, Basil has been so kind and attentive to my apartment needs. I made viewing approachable and didn't rush me. He took the time to explain everything and the local management of this building really makes a difference. Basil is always available, maintenance requests get fixed in a timely manner, and honestly I love my apartment. He always greets me when I walk by and never makes any requests feel like a burden. He also makes improvements around the building without prompting. You can tell management truly cares about the building and their tenants. They're also a small management company, so they don't price gauge regarding rent like larger corporations. The apartment itself is beautiful and spacious for a studio. New apartments give you minimal windows, so one of my favorite features are the huge windows that fully open to let ventilation in.

    If you like management that has no clue what they're doing, maintenance that is non-existent, and…read morerenovation happening all day long, then welcome to paradise. This is easily the worst apartment complex I have experienced. It's not that the building itself is bad. It's a good location, it has some good views, and while it has some age, it would be fine if kept up. However, the new management has absolutely no clue what they're doing. If you rent here, don't expect to get proper notice on anything. Also, don't expect your rent payments to be handled properly. There's either some really creative bookkeeping going on, or these people just can't add 2 + 2. I have never seen such poor maintenance. Even the simplest things don't get taken care of - an exit sign was hanging by only wires for months before someone finally took the 5 minutes to fix it. And now, they have decided to do a remodel, which has resulted in covering all the apartment windows and noisy construction all day long. But, don't expect management to care about your inconvenience. However, if they need in your apartment, you can be assured that they will do it without proper notice. Enjoy!

    Honestly, I love my apartment. I looked at a bunch in this area, and these were the nicest…read more However, literally the weekend I signed my lease, they changed management, and they are absolutely awful. The revolving door of front desk workers are rude, lazy and dumb. ("Can you please show me where the business center is?" "I don't know." "You work here..." "Yeah, I don't know.") They've given away our parking spots four times in three months to someone else. Really, how hard is it to document who's parking where? Our balcony door has been broken since we moved in, and it's still not fixed, four months later. There are numerous other issues, but you get the idea.

He replies to messages within minutes, making communication effortless. When it came time to list our property, we simply sent an email, and within a few days the lease was signed with a qualified tenant. It was truly a hands-free experience. David is very knowledgeable about the local rental market, pricing properties competitively. He conducts thorough background checks to ensure reliable, responsible tenants are placed. When maintenance issues arise, he addresses them promptly and professionally, never leaving anything unresolved. He's also built a trusted team of maintenance specialists and contractors who are experts in their respective fields. We recommend him highly.

To be transparent, we are property owners, so this review is from the owner's point of view. Having said that, he's been proactive in making sure the rental house is in a good shape, including regular annual maintenance. This is to ensure tenants get what they pay for. One thing David really stands out is his responsiveness and timely communications. Tips: believe it or not, best way to contact him is via email. He'll call me as soon as he's available whenever I ask him to call me via email. His email responses are mostly cryptic and straight to the point, and some folks may take that differently. But for us, we like his cut-to-the-chase, no-nonsense style. Believe us, we have had a different property manager before, and he may seem courteous, but his responsiveness and professionalism are not even close to David's.

She unfailingly followed up and kept track of every detail and project, coordinating across multiple contractors and the wrap-up and move out we were doing. Her communicativeness and responsiveness has been enormously helpful, including when it came time for leasing and move-in. Katie kept everything on track, and went above and beyond with a day packed with tours. Maple Leaf and Katie's professionalism and care really shine through - would recommend working with them!

She took over our property at a time when we were dealing with a downed tree after windstorms, and truly changed our lives for the better. She helped us to get the tree delt with, and another dangerous tree taken down so we wouldn't have this problem again. Our prior manager had been complacent, slow, and unhelpful. Katie is the exact opposite. She is prompt to respond, follows up on issues until they are resolved, and has a genuine care for the lives of her renters. She is always warm, friendly, and gets the job done! Maintaining our gutters and landscaping, ensuring seamless lease renewal, and replacing our fridge the same week that it broke are just a few examples of ways she has helped take care of us. She is absolutely an asset to the Maple Leaf Management team, and we feel so lucky to have her.

The place isn't perfect but the management is really great, especially for a downtown apartment. I've had experiences with other property management companies in Seattle where you feel like you're dealing with a corporate robot. That isn't the case here. Their staff actually listens to you and are very accommodating. Anyway, if you're looking for a place downtown, consider the Ventana. It is really hard to get a steal on a nice apartment downtown, but they actually have amazingly good rates for a building that's only about a decade old. The main reason I think they have such good monthly rentals is because the building lacks pretty much any amenities (their is a small gym however). However, the price of rent is worth the trade off. Plus, the Seattle Athletic Club is only half a block away and you're a block from the waterfront, so you won't exactly feel like you're living on skid row. I have been looking at other apartments in Belltown to see if I could get a better deal than what I have and I have literally not been able to find a single better deal out there. I would highly recommend renting from Allegra Properties, and especially the Ventana apartments.

CONS: Random people screaming on occasion, tent cities are starting to form, so if you own a dog you have to be careful because some of the street people have pit-bulls with no leashes. This isn't the buildings fault at all, it's just one of those things. The maintenance guy's are professional, helpful and really nice. The people who live here aren't very outgoing at all. There are a couple of couples who rock, but for the most part the tenants keep to themselves.

    I rented from Avenue One (AO for length) for two years and I cannot recommend them to renters who…read moreare looking for consistency or dependability in their landlord. The first clue was in month four after we reached out to our property manager about cutting the 6x6(ish) front yard. We requested AO to amend the first draft of their proposed lease agreement to exclude the yard as a tenant responsibility - they agreed and the lease we signed included no tenant responsibility for the front yard. When they finally hired someone, the third-party company blew a rock that shattered our glass door. Given the glass covered the entire door, it was an extreme safety and security hazard. We shared with AO that someone could easily kick it in and that it could also easily break w/ daily use. They came out quickly to assess and scheduled a third party shortly after. We then made time out of our professional schedules 5 times to get evaluations which AO insisted upon even after given guidance to replace by 2 separate contractors. It took us emailing the owners of AO directly to have them schedule one final evaluation, which ultimately suggested replacement anyway. It took TWO MONTHS to replace our front door, and only after requesting and negotiating were we offered compensation. The front lawn was not mowed again for the last 18+ months of our lease. This was a pattern. AO hired third parties that weren't consistent in communication or performance. Other maintenance requests were put off and ignored. In the case of a separate upstairs bathroom issue, the hired team broke an item in a bedroom and left $20 to help replace it. We received a new property manager after the door incident, and while certainly better than the first, the communication felt clumsy, incorrect, and in need of prompting rather than being proactive. I expect more from a company that chooses to rent to people, as it should be predictable and dependable in exchange for the monthly rent - and we were tenants that paid rent on time, every time. We gave 50+ days of notice before vacating. A new employee from AO who showed properties sent an email at 1pm on Friday to begin the process to list our apartment but mentioned no timeline. Less than 4 hours later, we received a curt email alerting us that an ad "was live" and that they had "3 people waiting to see when they can tour" on Monday afternoon (less than 24 business hrs). After calling and sharing our circumstances, they emailed it was within their rights to show our home w/o consent with 24 hrs notice. My roommate negotiated a few days to return from travel and to secure our valuables. Our caution only came as a result of several encounters where the AO team and their third-party contractors broke things in our house. The request we received to show our home and the striking urgency that AO created is a pattern that shows they do not respect tenants. Pressuring us to respond to them showing the apartment over a month before our lease ends with 4 hours in between emails is not reasonable. It is particularly unreasonable given we had provided our notice to vacate over 2 full weeks before that email exchange (nearly 2 full months before our two-year lease ended). This urgency to move rapidly had never once been AO's approach to maintenance for any concern we had. When the agent ultimately showed our home, they sprayed heavily scented perfumes (they admitted to this later) in our purposefully unscented home, resulting in significant allergies that caused a night of headaches. When it came to the walkthrough, we had to basically beg to be there. The timing of the walkthrough was shifted on the night before the appointment. In an email before the walkthrough, they mentioned extra charges if our unit wasn't in the same condition it was upon move-in. However, we confronted them with language from the Seattle Renters Handbook that if cleaning fees are charged as a fee before move-in, you cannot be charged for cleaning after moving out. They requested we sweep the rooftop deck that was rotting and decaying - yet another ignored maintenance request that they received months before they knew we planned to move out. We did get the full deposit back, but I have to chalk that up to our clean nature and our unrelenting focus on over-communicating and keeping written records. This level of vigilance felt exhausting, but something we had to keep up with AO because they never seemed to have our best interests in mind. Ultimately, I could not in good conscience recommend this company to any renter. AO showed time and time again what they thought of us by providing absolutely minimal service and little respect to us as renters. If you do rent from them, start keeping written records and don't hesitate to contact the Seattle Tenants Union for guidance. The only striking positive was the initial real estate agent, Barb Bender, who was incredible. She showed care, created clarity, and sold us on AO.

    First of all, we are about the best tenants you can find with impeccable rental history and great…read moreincome. This is all verifiable th This house is expensive.. so expensive I am embarrassed to say it here. It came with so many wonderful amenities.. until it turned out that it didn't. A huge modern TV in the basement! I guess that helps make the price worth it! Except the TV is from 2010, cant load any modern streaming services and is basically huge e-waste. (Don't feature it in the add for the house.. ). Its trivial, but our old 2015 TV was giving us some headaches due to its age, so seeing this in the add was like "ah! Perfect for us!" But. hilariously the huge TV doesn't work unless you hook it up to a laptop with an HDMI cable across the room. Don''t believe me? Look up Sharp Aquos Quattron. See if it hooks up to even Amazon Prime Video (spoiler alert, it doesn't). (Oh and it turns out Netflix stopped supporting this machine many years ago). The hoops we had to jump through to secure this house! Way too hard. Its almost as if they are justifying their service by putting people through the wringer.. we could have cared for this house ourselves and done just as good of a job if not better.. but they justify their enormous costs basically by making people go through SO MUCH effort. It's starting to feel like a grift/cash grab. That being said there are positives. Kathy is kind and responsive (was). The recruiter who we contacted was just wonderful. So it's not the people we deal with, it's the actual process, hoops and the rug pull we are currently feeling. We arrived after an arduous move, very long and serious to find our trash so full and heavy that the garbage men rejected it due to its weight.(400 pounds?). this is after my wife and I both pushed and pulled it up the hill to the street, injuring ourselves in the process. So now we are saddled with this super heavy trash and nowhere to take it and no where to put OUR trash.. We PAY for our trash services... so.. ? Find a house that is being rented by the owner and just do a good job caring for the home. You will save yourselves THOUSANDS of dollars, a myriad of hoops, headaches and effort. Plus they force you into a 24 month lease.. and now I know why.. because people would leave in droves. So that's some more good advice, if they force you to do a long term lease, that is a big red flag. Also, we have rented sight unseen in the past. No problem. Why? Because those owners were confident the house was fine. If they DONT allow sight unseen.. what does that tell you? Something is wrong.. or they are hiding flaws that they want you to walk by without noticing so they can sign their 80 page move in documents. More good advice, ask about sight unseen (even if you don't intend on doing that and see what the response is). They reach out 3 times to verify we set up utilities (a month after we already did that) almost as if to justify the existence of the utility manager.. but the internet, the one and only utility besides electric we need to work for our jobs.. that doesn't count, no assistance or advice there, just figure it out.. but if you pick the wrong services you are in for another headache. Just make sure you pick the same service that the house had before .. or you are in for more delays, headaches and stress. The home is quite lovely as is the yard but far from worth this cost (the cost includes pain, stress and anger) ... and there were some issues moving in, the drawers and cupboards were grimy and we had to clean it all with a scraper. Yuck. a couple bad electrical outlets (which we haven't even mentioned yet, one issues at a time, we are not trying to inundate them).. wiggly and loose thick glass shower and bathroom doors (all of which look brand new and never tested but sure do look nice. Pooling water on the floor after a shower creating a mold stain. We created tickets in the portal, but they are now showing closed and resolved! (They are NOT resolved). Its just for the money we pay, you would think the things that were part of the draw, (like the TV) would work and not just be more work for us.. heck for this money even be set up for us on our arrival! But no.. we are saddled with a big (70 inch) hunk of junk. If I owned this company I would make it right by purchasing us a TV that actually works with the modern streaming services (not some ancient xFinity Vudu nonsense). Last but not lease.. the faucet. We come home.. burnt from moving, start our first dishes and it squirts right in our faces! LOL.. its hilarious..until its not. except nobody seems interested in fixing it.. or if they are we are not in the loop. I jammed my thumb up into the faucet so now at least it sprays in other directions than directly at our bodies. Maybe waiting for parts? Maybe they should tell us that. . This post is from 2023 . but somehow just showing up now, you should hear about the MOVE OUT PROCESS. It was even worse.. AVOID THIS BUSINESS AT ALL COSTS.
