Cadence

This is a great property and really a steal for what they are offering for Ballard. New upgraded spacious units. While they might not have a ton of storage they have a decent sized bedroom which is more than I can say for some of the places down the street!
The staff is very friendly and responsive. I had an issue and they had no problem coming on Christmas Eve to help.
And you are across the street from one of the best places in Seattle, the Locks!

The management and staff onsite is great in my experience and are responsive. I toured the place 3 times before putting down $ and it was a great decision.
Pros: Management response time, location (near Golden Gardens, Ballard Locks but far enough from the busy nightlife so you can have a quiet evening), and bus services. Having met a few other residents, it is obvious they attract grown-​ups, not frat types. A nice place to live. Onsite gym access and bike storage. A well kept property. Some say it’s expensive, but having lived in Seattle for 16yrs, the rent is great for what you pay for compared to Capitol Hill where its ridiculous. A lot of non-​zoned parking surrounding the property.
Cons: No supermarket nearby but the Ballard Farmer’s Market is on Sundays and QFC/​Safeway are about a quarter mile away. The occasional EMT call to the senior community center but its few and far between.

Super friendly and helpful staff in a good location. All maintenance requests are handled really well and timely and the staff has responded above and beyond the call of duty.
The building is an older building with a mild refresh. It lacks some amenities like closet space, garbage disposal, lighting, shelving, etc. The bathroom was not really updated. The price is a bit high for rent and does not include any extras. Everything is an up charge.
The gym is nice and has everything you need. It can fill up though because it is smaller. I often am working out with 5 – 6 other people in less than 400 square feet of space.

Absolutely love living here! Office staff is super sweet every time I walk into the office for anything & maintenance requests are done pretty timely. The renovation is what sold me on moving here. Everything was done perfect, with still a touch of vintage. Highly recommend!

ABSOLUTELY STAY AWAY. I’m counting the days until I can move out of this place. I was one of the first people to move in after its «refurbishment» and takeover by Pinnacle. Like most of the people I’ve met here, I deeply regret moving in when there are thousands of better apartments and buildings in the city. It’s overpriced, the renovations were exceedingly cheap and these are absolutely the most poorly constructed buildings I’ve ever had the displeasure of living in. I hear my very rude neighbors upstairs constantly. I can even hear a sneeze or cough like it was happening in the same room.
Pair all of that with bad management who will actually threaten you with eviction if your rent comes after the third (doesn’t matter if it’s a holiday weekend) and potentially illegal utility billing — oh, and about 3 minutes of hot water per shower — and you have Cadence. The worst place on Earth.

A home like feeling is what made me very interested in these newly remodeled apartments. I had been looking for almost a year to find a place for myself and 2 kids and when I walked into the office here it was a different feeling. Hope, the wonderful and VERY HELPFUL assistant manager in the office made me feel right at home. She showed us the different options available, all which are great with all the windows in each unit to help minimize utility bills. The open floor plans that make it feel like less of an apartment style living. I love this place and recommend it to anyone looking in the Ballard area. Call Hope, she’ll make you feel right at home.

Not just another apartment… classic buildings with solid bones in Ballard, and freshly remodeled inside. Not a cheaply constructed dormitory like so many new buildings. Management is very responsive and helpful, making us feel right at home. Made moving from house back to apartment a very easy transition. Spacious layout with windows in every room and minimal shared walls make for a very house like feeling.
