The good reviews are definitely fake. My boyfriend wrote a review on this place and it was deleted. If you're seeing this, read it thoroughly!
These people somehow forgot to charge everyone 2 or 3 months of utilities towards the end of the year and then illegally demanded everyone pay it back in 30 days. (Your tax issue shouldn't be our tax issue!)
Not only have they changed office hours multiple times over the last year and a half, but the hours they are available, they are often unable to be reached. (I.e. first open hour in the morning they put a sign up. Religiously. Test it out.) Also, someone else mentioned the mailroom hours. This is an issue for many because those who are working 9-5pm have no way of accessing packages if received by the office.
I told an employee about the dangers of the gym equipment stopping randomly while I was in the middle of running on it (this happened twice) and she laughed it off rather than assuring me that it would be taken care of.
They are quick to leave notes on your doors demanding you follow their strict parking lot and balcony guidelines as if they are some sort of HOA, but fail to take care of tenant needs as swiftly.
The back door to the gym was broken for at least 8 of the 12 months we were there and they denied us the easy option of walking through the pool area instead. Which would have been way less dangerous than having to walk through the icy rocks covered in snow through the winter.
We were personally never called out but they very childishly and obviously called out specific tenants on the letters that were administered to the entire complex.
Security is just for show. Thank goodness the police station is close because we felt very unsafe in our apartment during our time there. We literally watched someone try and open our door in the middle of the night and then run away once we started talking.
There was another time when someone from maintenance was blowing leaves and dirt under our door. He blew our doormat to the other side of the walkway. I opened the door and asked if he did this. He said yes, and then walked away without apologizing or fixing it.
I can go on and on about all of the horrible experiences I had at Salish over the last year but I'm just glad we're gone now. Beware!
Ps. On a positive note, after the summer, there are essentially no bugs/vermin and the units are pretty nice.. for now. read more
