Aspens at Belvedere

Do not live here…
I have lived here for 2 years. 29 years old, single dude.
The management used to be half decent but now they are absolutely terrible. If you have to talk to anyone in the office they are extremely rude and not helpful at all.
Mail has always been a problem here for some reason also. I keep getting others mail In my box and they have lost 1 of my packages that was confirmed delivered by the UPS. Never did get it.
Parking is a big problem. I own 2 vehicles and I only have 1 dedicated spot. There are no spots available for «first come first serve» parking so having friends over to watch football is impossible and therefore does not happen. I can get an additional spot but for a fee of course. They have all available parking spots reserved. Also, they have all the streets marked fire lane and will tow with no notice whatsoever. Lot security is nonexistent and one of my vehicles was vandalized (windows scratched to hell).
Location is not good unless you only care about the freeway. I’m a single guy and the nightlife in Seatac is terrible. If you want some fun you will need to travel. Almost every night I can hear street racers revving their engines from a few blocks down.
Lastly, they hit hard with raising the rent when you want to re-​up your lease. They wanted $ 65 more a month to stay. If you want month to month it’s $ 400 more! The units are nice but way over priced.
Long story short, don’t waste your time or money.

DO NOT MOVE HERE.
Shitty management, apartments are NOT worth how much they’re charging, parking is horrendous, and they will screw you over for every last penny they can manage to get out of you.
STAY AWAY.

The apartments are nice, the management stinks. The lock broke on my apartment on new years eve at 10pm. Maintenance wasn’t available and didn’t have equipment to drill the lock, so I called the locksmith they recommended. Since I didn’t wait for two hours for maintenance to show up before calling, in 30 degree weather, the apartment wouldn’t reimburse me for the lock.
There is rotting garbage in the stairwell, they don’t get on tenants who are loud and litter, and the parking absolutely sucks — nowhere near enough spaces.
The management is sloppy and rude. You can do better.

Stay away.
My wife and I lived here for just under a year. As mentioned the apartments are nice and we liked the location. However, those are the only positives. Here are some of the negatives.
— Poor management: calling the office and dealing with them was always a nightmare. They are not very nice and always acted like it was the biggest hassle in the world if you needed something. In addition, we had several packages delivered to the office that they just said «O, they never came» even though the shipping carriers had the office managers signature as receiving them.
— As mentioned by others, parking is horrendous. Have two cars? Forget about it. Even if you have one car and move into a unit that doesn’t have an assigned spot, good luck.
— Electrical issues: our unit had major electrical issues. One day the power went out completely for ¾ the day and we started talking with all the neighbors who we found out all had the same problems we did. We couldn’t turn on the lights in the master bathroom because it would trip the breaker every time. If we plugged in a hair dryer in the bathroom, it would trip the breaker. It was constantly going out. They came and «fixed» it several times, but it was never resolved in the time we lived there.
Then we moved out, and 5 months later they call us and say we owe them $ 100. We had tried several times to contact the office in regards to our deposit with no avail. Then one day out of blue we get a phone call from some new management company saying we owe $ 100 from our move out 5 months earlier. I explained that we had tried several times to get a hold of the office in regards to our deposit and had not heard anything after we moved out. They just said, «Well, this is going to collections» so we either had to pay or ruin our credit. Even though we never received any communication from them in the first place that we owed any money. They are terrible to deal with. Save yourself a lot of headaches and frustration, and live somewhere else.

The apartment units are fairly nice, but we have had several issues while living here. The most significant issue is that there is not enough parking. We have a 3 bedroom unit which apparently only comes with one parking spot, the garage. We were under the impression that we were going to be assigned one spot, in addition to the garage, but they did not clarify until we were moved in that the garage is the only assigned parking space. It was upsetting but since the roads are private, we were okay with parking on the street (sometimes very far away down a hill) and walking to our unit. However, the building owners decided (without notice) that the road was not wide enough and painted the street No Parking! Now there is literally no spaces for at least 10 cars that parked there every night. Most of those cars are now parking illegally or in the lots for the other buildings.
Additionally, we have had several maintenance issues with the dryer. It’s frustrating that it keeps breaking down. There’s also some awful device in the laundry room that ticks loudly all the time. They turned it off once, but it keeps coming back on.
This area is not convenient to anything but the freeway. You have to have a car, yet the parking situation is what you would expect in an area that is walking distance to necessities.
Even more upsetting, pizza places don’t deliver here, and cabs refuse to come here unless you are coming from the airport.

don ‘t move here!
