Shangri La Apartments

When we first moved to this complex I was extremely excited. The apartments themselves are nice end higher end and make you feel like you are entering a really nice and cool condo complex. The complex has a nice gym and secured garage which I loved. There is nothing for children to do and it made me extremely nervous entering and leaving the parking lot and the garage as children were out in the street a lot of the times and some times parents are with them. The complex sits between a condo neighborhood which has their own children and no parks or play area so there are those children as well in the street coming from Bothell /​Everett highway which is really a parking lot. There is a nice courtyard however some apartments do face this courtyard and many use this as their own private courtyard till after 10 PM even though there is a posted curfew. Overall the complex I felt upon moving in was geared more towards the working young adult that wanted a nice surrounding. What the reality is was there are lots of small children and families which is great and fine but there is nothing for the kids to do in this complex. I know there is a park not far away as I have taken my own nephews there. I am not sure why the parents do not choose to do that since it would be much safer.
The staff is fine and things were dealt with in a reasonable amount of time if you had an issue. One reason we left was there are a variety of cultures living in the complex and the smells from the food were overwhelming to the point we had to shut our windows when it was very hot out so that was not cool and the loud noises coming from the courtyard so late into the evening on all days not just weekends. We both wake at 4 AM for work so that was a pain.

These apartments are amazing. They are well built and located in a great area. The management staff is wonderful and so attentive to the tenants. It truly is one of the best properties I have stayed
