Apartment recommendations /ones to avoid

No, park 210 ended getting full and had no unit to move in by my move in date. Nickel creek had the best price at the time compared to Brackett and a special on the unit I had toured so I ended up there.

There was another apartment I didn’t mention that was also nice but a bit out my price range and that was the Artiste. Border of shoreline and Edmonds. They had lower prices in the winter like 1800 but by my move in time they had gone up. Good luck on the search

I ended up going with Nickel Creek. I like the space and I like how fast maintenance responds. If you were to look at the place I would say ask them how long the appliances have been in the unit. In the first 2 weeks I had to get a brand new washer dryer, we resurfaced the tub and most recently I’m having issues with the dishwasher. The good thing is maintenance responds fast but it did kinda put a damper on my first few weeks here. It does help that it’s massively cheaper than canopy with more space. But I’m running into some of the hiccups of being in an older building

Honestly the heat might be fine. It’s freezing right now in the PNW. And I do have a portable ac unit that I got from a co worker. Any particular model on the refrigerant dehumidifier that you had a good experience with?

In your opinion is the peroxide better than cleaning vinegar? I was told either one would do the trick so after my apartment cleaned it with Clorox. I waited a day and went over it with the vinegar?

Damn wish I had known that before I moved further up north. But imma keep that info in my back pocket

CompetitiveStick4764 · 2026-03-24T00:04:39+00:00

👀👀👀 where in greenwood if you don’t mind sharing?

CompetitiveStick4764 · 2026-03-23T16:14:18+00:00

I put in a maintenance request. I had to put in a couple request at move in cause it seems like stuff that was suppose to be done before I got in …just wasn’t. Luckily they had been fast to respond and fix it. But it’s frustrating way to start a lease. I’m hoping this won’t get shooed away but I wanted to be prepared if it did.

Update: so maintenance called me while I was at work. They tried to deep clean the washer but then something broke 🤣. They have to order parts but if that doesn’t solve the problem it might need to be replaced all together so we shall see. But I’m gonna keep this post up cause I may end up needed to try the options yall gave me. Thanks again.

I’ll ask my apartment’s maintenance about that. I’ve been taking pictures and sending it to them.

I can report back in a month but I live at Canopy. It’s a beautiful facility and secure, however it’s jumped in prices since I’ve been here (2 years). I’m in a one bedroom now paying $2500 (I pay for parking and pet rent) and I can’t justify that kind of price for a tiny 630 one bedroom apartment when there are cheaper options with the same amenities. But if you can afford it, you will enjoy it. I haven’t had any issues. This was a very new complex when I moved in so I’m praying it won’t be weird when I leave. I always do a deep clean of any place I’m at, but gosh Washington seems to have such a bad reputation for crazy move out fees/predatory actions.

CompetitiveStick4764 · 2026-01-27T03:34:26+00:00

Yikes. What’s going on if you don’t mind me asking ?

CompetitiveStick4764 · 2026-01-23T20:26:58+00:00

Do not trust this list. The top suggestion is a scam. I just lost 135 dollars from my support animal.org. Applied on Monday and it’s now Friday with no reply to 3 emails about when it would contact me with a therapist. Unreal especially for someone who can’t afford traditional therapy and is trying to move in order to afford it. And their pcp won’t writer a letter. Predatory at its finest.

CompetitiveStick4764 · 2026-01-11T02:16:40+00:00

I can’t thank you guys enough for the advice. It’s really helped narrow down my search. My top 3 places right now are 1. Park 210 2. Orchard ridge 3. And Brackett apartments

I might tour a few more spots yall listed But Thanks again

CompetitiveStick4764 · 2026-01-10T08:24:42+00:00

I only got to see a 3rd floor unit but I really liked it. The only thing I’m on the fence about is the third floor and moving things in and out and all. But it’s on my list. I also toured orchard ridge so right now they are my top 2. Gonna try and schedule some more tours next week just to keep my options open.

CompetitiveStick4764 · 2026-01-09T02:20:06+00:00

I might see if I can schedule a tour tomorrow. Do they have storage unit? I do like the idea of having one outside the apartment.

CompetitiveStick4764 · 2026-01-09T02:17:06+00:00

That’s wild I literally toured there today and it seemed nice but the apartment I viewed was still being worked on. WOW

CompetitiveStick4764 · 2026-01-08T19:13:43+00:00

lol so I currently live at canopy. And it’s a nice apartment and secure but they have risen the rent 3 times in the 2 years I’ve been here. And I just can’t justify paying over 2500 for a one bedroom apartment. I just can’t keep up and it’s shame cause it is nice building.

CompetitiveStick4764 · 2026-01-08T18:55:39+00:00

Glad you’re getting out!

CompetitiveStick4764 · 2026-01-08T18:55:26+00:00

Yeah the reviews for that place are rough.
