5 out of 5 stars. I have a few "Cons" but they're specific to my actual unit, and I was aware of most prior to move in.
Pros:
Very nice building overall
Terrific community room, BBQ, fireplace in/out
Dog washing room!
Amazing location! There are so many great places to eat within walking distance, seriously, within 1-2 blocks.
Beaverton Farmer's market/Beaverton library are 3 blocks away.
Phenomenal plant store and adorable gift shop 1 block away: Staghorn Mercantile.
Great leasing manager, Marie! She's kind, helpful, professional, personable - and all around, lovely.
Efficient and nice maintenance man, Brian
Grounds, Exterior, and Interior of building are very clean and well maintained.
The coffee maker in the lobby with the dog biscuit jar
*The Dog and Cat of the month! Very thoughtful & sweet!

Cons:
Main living space:
No coat closet. There's a closet with a washer and dryer occupying half the space. The other side is a wide open space with a 9 ft ceiling, no light, no shelving/racks/hooks/bar to hang things from...like coats. The placement and location of the stackable W/D prevents the closet to function as such.
Bedroom:
only 1 closet. A second closet would have been possible considering the design and space, but the second closet area was left open so people could put a desk, bench, or dresser in. The ceilings in the closet are
9ft high, with a shelf at about 5 ft high, there's 4 feet above - the addition of a second shelf would be great to break up the 4 feet of space above. A closet light would be nice, considering the height of the ceilings.
Bathroom:
No hand-towel bar/ring.
Toilet paper holder placement: it's right next to the shower opening - so your TP gets wet when you get in and out of the shower
No place to put a towel-hook due to placement of TP holder, I'd be hanging a towel on top of the roll of toilet paper.
Wishlist:
Squat rack with barbell/plates in the gym
Range and oven in the community room.
No fee for community room reservation, 1 per yr?
community/resident garden plot space on rooftop
Extended community room hours: close at 11pm instead of 10pm. read more
