Ten Twenty University Street Apts

Cadillac V. is Garry Vire’s dog. Garry is the manager here and is employed by RP Management, which owns this building. RP Management must be paying Unilocal pretty good money to have a review by their own employee up for 6 years! Quite a scam you people have going on! So, which Unilocal employee is receiving money under the table for reviews?!

I lived at Ten Twenty for 2 years and wished I could have stayed longer! Great management, fun neighborhood, fair prices for the square footage, convenient parking under the building (or plenty of street parking if you want to do zone parking), huge windows in the living rooms, extra storage in the basement (free of charge), nice laundry machines that accept credit cards, and best of all — AWESOME neighbors. Everyone is chill, down to earth, friendly and animal lovers. This is a great building for pet lovers or people with bigger dogs, especially «banned breeds». My Great Dane and I loved living here!

I normally don’t write Unilocal reviews, but I have lived in a lot of apartments in Seattle, with a lot of bad managers and this is definitely NOT one of them.
I have lived here a year and am about to renew my lease, this is the first apartment in Seattle I have stayed in for more than 1 year. It is a pretty good deal for the location and very pet friendly. The apartments are spacious, the dishwashers actually work well and the laundry room isn’t overcrowded. The manager has been nothing but helpful and accommodating throughout the entire time I’ve lived here. He is flexible and willing to work with the tenants, which is very unlike some of the property management companies that manage apartments in this area.

I see the bad reviews, and I saw them before I moved into the complex. From the get go, the manager has been completely worthy of praise. He’s a strong headed guy, who has a huge plate to finish and if you ask me — he’s doing his job. If people make mistakes he holds them accountable. I’ve had numerous situations that have not only looked bad on me, but were certainly cause for consequential action but Garry, took the time to understand my personal situation, and make decisions based off of that understanding. I pay my rent, I apologize for my mistakes and I realize that Garry deserves a little bit of respect. For those of you that have something bad to say, I’m sorry. I tend to handle my problems by listening, and focusing on the resolution. I like this complex, and have no complaints with the management and their processes. Also, if you’re a dog lover who lives in Seattle. This place is great in terms of deposits and restrictions.

Why do all the bad reviews of this joint keep getting hidden?! Garry is sweet as pie at first and encourages you to leave a Unilocal review, so don’t be fooled by people who *just* moved in. I left a five-​star review myself at first, then deleted instead of updating because I really want to find nice places to live in the future and I’m pretty scared of how manipulative and charming this property manager is.
Property manager Garry Vire is a master manipulator who, long story short, threatened to evict me over a mean note he found on a neighbor’s door that he insisted I wrote. I did not write the note. He claims he checked the handwriting against my rental application — it looked nothing like it, just hoods over the «a“s — five months into my living there. When he came through for a «pre eviction inspection» with 48 hours notice, his story changed to too many dirty dishes in my sink. Narrowly avoided a legal battle by hiring professional cleaners to make sure all my bases were covered.
My boyfriend and I would sometimes leave the door unlocked when we went to work, and would come home to find the door locked. Not damning evidence, but we grew to suspect he’d been entering our unit when we weren’t there.

I got the hell out as soon as my lease was up.
Despite his making me cry in front of him on a few different occasions, starting with him egging me to «admit» what I did or «face eviction,» he called me «honey» every time he talked to me. If you want a property manager that gaslights you, go on ahead, I guess.
At one point, the basement flooded, and despite many tenants having storage units in the basement, he chocked up the repairs afterward to «remodeling :).» I had a storage unit down there, and he notified nobody.
Oh, and when I moved out, the elevator was broken — and was supposed to have been fixed a month prior to my move-​out. I checked in with friends that still lived there 3 – 4 months later, and it still had not been fixed, and he was refusing any rent credits to make up for time lost, and blaming the property management company. Don’t know if they were actually refusing rental credits to tenants, since he never gave his superiors’ contact info to any tenants… although if you ever want to reach them, info is at
.

I moved here about 4 months ago. And I have had nothing but an amazing experience since I moved here! There’s the occasional small get together in a couple of the apartments but I only notice because I see it when I come home, I hardly every heat any noise coming from them.
My neighbors are all really nice that I’ve met. It’s a really diverse mixture of young to older. So it’s really a great place to live for anyone.
I grabbed this place as soon as I saw it because for the price and sq footage it’s an absolute steal! I had been looking at apartments in this price range that were either studios or the smallest one bedrooms I’d ever seen!
The laundry room is always immaculate, and I haven’t experienced any of them being broken yet. Also there’s a website we use that you can see when washers/​dryers are in use or empty and if they are in use about how long until they’re done.
The elevator was out of service when I first moved in but the apartment manager had been working with the company to finish it as quick as possible as they installed a brand new elevator!
Lastly about the apartment manager Gary. He’s easily the greatest apartment manager I’ve ever had. He is really helpful and he really cares about his community here at our apartment and he’s been nothing but helpful to me as I moved over here from eastern Washington. He has offered to help me find storage for a boat if I needed to bring it over even though it’s not his job, he has just been great. And I’ve seen people be absolutely rude to him and he still keeps a cool head.
I don’t know other peoples experiences but all I know is that I’ve had a really fantastic experience since I moved here!

Recently moved in and this has to be one of the greatest buildings I have ever lived in and the manager in SUPER!
