Leilani at 107

NEGATIVE STARS —
IF YOU HAD HALF a brain, you would NOT move here. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE management and I regret ever taking their concessions to move here.
I moved in when it was brand spanking new and FYI… the garage door never worked. It is nothing new. IF you are lucky to get it to work, you should have bought a lottery ticket. Parking was assigned, until one night after work someone else parked in my spot. They «lost» my parking number assigned to me. Besides that, the spots are only wide enough if you drive a smart car.
The whole area looks shady from the beginning, but it was a brand new building so I oversaw the minor details. All the negative reviews are correct about management and they do not do what is best for the tenants. Tina is a complete moron and she is the devil’s whore and does not care about anyone besides making money for corporate by screwing you as soon as you sign your lease.
Let me ask you one question. A normal and reputable company would have their manager address all these complaints and follow up. Do you see any? They pass the buck and you end up getting…
DO NOT MOVE HERE. I want them to burn from where they came from.

107 on Greenwood ROCKS!
F*&% the people below, besides the one good review. These people have nothing better to do but complain. You see its mostly people that are pissed off that leave reviews… I believe i was the second person to live in my apartment. NICE new, modern apartments with open floorplans. Our apartment is 700ish sq feet and offers a large living room and a nice L shaped kitchen.
As far as the Gate is concerned i noticed a maintenance guy there at least 5 times trying to fix it. This was due to mechanical failure NOT a customer service related concern. However, the complex went as far as hiring a full time security guard to watch the garage… etc. (Hand Clap) Its not like the mgmt has anyway to fix it themselves or im sure Rachel would. This chick rocks, shes always super nice and smiley and very very good with people. Me being a people person i could see her as a young property manager for sure.
Convenience:
I love that i can walk to two grocery stores. (Safeway and QFC) and there is Carkeek Park which is amazing for walking, lounging and sunsets. That reminds me the ROOFTOP = amazing. Besides not having cushions on the furniture (because we live in Seattle and the rain made them mold) they are on order and will be here shortly! There is ample seating, a gas fire pit and BBQ. I rarely see anyone up there :)
Downtown Seattle Via 99 = 13 minutes
Bellevue in the morning (830) = 45 minutes with traffic (heavy)
Park drive = 5 minutes
Mall =3 minutes
So much yummy food around here too.
Just an FYI this is located about 1 mile from highway 99 (aurora) and being so close you do see some odd things. But if your not into that kind of thing maybe you should live in auburn or federal way or something. This is Seattle and sadly yes there are bum’s, drunks and crack heads.
That being said i love this place and ill be signing a new lease this weekend!

They did step up their game at the end!
The new assistant manger Rachel is great! Very informative and awesome to have!
However why I listed this as 3 s is due to the fact that their pricing is based on Ballard’s rental market when they are clearly NOT in Ballard! So whoever is heading up their marketing team needs to change that!
Also there are no amenities… So alas that is why I gave it the review it did!

I hate living here so much. I don’t even know where to begin. Everything about this place and the management has been a complete disappointment. We are only at month 3 in our lease and already want to leave.
The building is not secure and we have found used needles literally just outside the door.
I once ordered a package and wasn’t able to receive it for at least a week because no one is ever in the office.
The walls are so thin that I can hear the neighbors next to me WALKING.
Do not move here!

Update on 107 Greenwood.
Apparently in what we had hoped would be a positive move the 107 Greenwood and Leilani on 107 apts had been sold to another company, however seems nothing is changing and shit is still the same old BS! Gate has been broken again all weekend from the morning of ⁹⁄₂₀ and is still not working today 9÷22÷2014.
Also we get this stupid note on the leasing office door basically giving the new office hours from 3−6pm Wed-​Sat — WHAT THE FUCK people! So much for package acceptance service.
I cannot say enough how much I fucking hate this place! When I find out who owns this place I will follow up.
Edit: seems the new owers are these asshats –http://​www​.wei​d​ner​.com/ — so my recommendation is too stay away from any and all properties owned/​managed by these assholes!!!

Update:
1. I recently hired a dog walker. She works for a reputable company– bonded, insured, etc… 107 will not issue her a FOB unless I add her to my lease!!! I am in meetings and travel for work so buzzing in each time not an option. Also, front door buzzer often is out of commission.
2. Office hours are Wed –Sun (strange) so if you receive a package on Sat and can’t pick it up for some reason (out of town, not notified by staff) don’t expect it until 3 – 5 days later!
3. Online payment is a joke. It costs $ 10 extra dollars to pay your rent online. They prefer the paper checks!
4. I think my neighbor is running an escort service out of his apartment. I have spoken to management, but nothing has been done!
5. Secured doors and garage doors are often propped open, leaving the building exposed to the riff raff of Aurora Ave.
6. It has been a nightmare to get my ex-​husband off of my lease.
The rent is reasonable for Seattle, and I will probably stay here until I buy a place. If you can get your dog walker on your lease, have packages sent to your office and deal keeping your bikes inside of your apartment, move here.

DO NOT MOVE HERE
We have lived here just one month and the list of issues is never ending. I absolutely would NOT recommend moving here.
We selected this building as it was newer, had controlled access/​parking, allowed our dog and was affordable. We moved in site unseen as we relocated from 1200 miles away and needed an apartment. First we were given the wrong floorplan so are paying the same price for a smaller place than I requested. After the 22 hour drive here however I didn’t feel like dealing with more crap so let it go.
The security is a JOKE. The gate to the garage is left open randomly and sometimes for several days to a week. Most recently it was left open for 4 days before SEVERAL bicycles were stolen including my fiancé’s $ 2000 bicycle and after several calls to their sister property Leilani, maintenance rushed over to repair it. Management refuses to take responsibility for this as «crime happens» failing to realize that a tenant paying for a security measure which you fail to consistently provide that leads to loss is negligence. After speaking with someone apparently with an important title at their corporate office, we were told that «controlled access» does not mean what we think it does and they are not under any responsibility to assure the gate is working properly to secure our property. God forbid they actually CONTROL the access like advertised!
Apparently this happens quite often. Many other residents have had items stolen from the garage after the gate is left open for as long as a week. Hooray for us!
Maintenance takes a very long time for very simple fixes as we are still waiting (8 days later) for a very simply fix on our washer. However the maintenance staff is very friendly and respectful. Several outlets do not work (2 electrical and a phone jack). It is as if they were never even connected and we are also on day 8 waiting for those to be repaired. Upon move in we were informed that our front door was damaged and would be replaced in about a week. It has now been 30 days and the door, which was kicked in by a drunk previous tenant is still a bolted together product of Victor Frankenstein that rattles loudly whenever someone opens their door. (Hallways create wonderful vacuums don’t they?!)
There is CONSTANTLY a puddle of water in the elevator (and it hasn’t rained). The cleaning crew comes once a week and it’s nice but within a few days there’s a mini 107 lake. We face the street (we weren’t informed of this prior or else I would’ve requested a different apartment as I am a light sleeper). If you plan on keeping your sliding door closed it’s not an issue however since the apartments quickly reach the mid 80 degree range, opening the door is a requirement. THEN bring on the noise. Not the buildings fault but still something to note. It’s also a sauna in the hallways as there are no windows to vent to the outside.
Leilani, their sister property is a priority and everyone knows it. The office is almost never staffed here so much so it’s been suggested we take our rent to the sister property instead since no one will be in the office. There are so many incompetent people. Simple mathematical calculations have been REPEATEDLY incorrect. We had to resign our lease 2 weeks after we moved in because of «an error». There is 1 saving grace to their staff! I believe her name is Akia and she’s an angel. Friendly, intelligent and attentive but everyone else we’ve dealt with, don’t bother.
Other residents are generally friendly, there are a few less than stellar ones (as usual in any apartment building). Someone in the rear apartments near the parking lot likes to smoke and throw their ashes and cigarette butts out of their window covering the few of us unlucky enough to pay for a parking space in this area covered.
There are lots of dog owners in the building which is nice. There was a neighbor who’s dog barked for 2 days all day long but they weren’t home and it wasn’t terrible. Seems everyone is pretty good about cleaning up after their pets in the neighboring area as well. You cannot hear your neighbors talking or televisions which is nice but you sure can hear footsteps and voices/​doors slam in the hallway!
The rooftop patio needs some work. Umbrellas would be a great first step. There are no other amenities in the building but I knew that moving in. Just be sure you don’t count on the ‘controlled access’ feature as an amenity.
Don’t let them sign for your packages. They don’t keep track of them and with the inconsistent office hours don’t expect to get your stuff. Have it delivered to your office.
There’s a group of unhappy tenants who have banded together. Perhaps there will be power in numbers? RUN FAR FAR AWAY from this place. We have 11 months left and I doubt we will stay here that long. If I can afford to get out of here I definitely will be!

If I could give this place one star, I would.
First off, I really don’t like to complain about things, especially apartment buildings. But 107 Greenwood was one of the worst living situations I’ve found myself in.
The only plus sides to the building was that it was new construction and I was the first person in my unit. The units have modern kitchens and hardwoods which was nice especially since I have a dog. The roof has a decent view as well.
Within a month of moving in, myself and many other tenants I met started having problems.
First off — the management. Once the building filled up a few months into my lease, they were never there. They cut their hours to part time and are only there Wednesday through Saturday. The office is also always staffed by temporary employees that don’t know what they are doing. They have lost paperwork including my notice to vacate and failed to recognize any other issues we had during the course of the lease
And then there’s the security concerns. Since my first weeks here, the garage gate has always been broken. When brought up to management, they blamed it on tenants saying that we didn’t know how to operate the gate properly and that they would start fining people for tampering with the gate. There were many mornings when I had to leave for work and the gate wouldn’t open and I had no choice but to manually open it in order to be at work on time. Now, they just let it sit open all day and night making it a target for vandals. My car got broken into, as well as my boyfriends and a friends car who also lives here. I’ve seen glass on the ground in there multiple times so I’m sure we aren’t the only break ins.
There have been break ins in the main building as well. One night the leasing office got broken into, and there were cops parked out front for a few hours that night. We were told that nothing was compromised though I did hear that laptops were stolen. The tv in the lobby has been stolen multiple times as well. They kept replacing it only to have it taken again a week later. Either tenants are aware of managements lack of attention and are stealing things or outside people have been able to come inside and steal from the property. I never heard anything from management about these security issues either.
Lastly the units are overpriced for what you get. The units are not made well and you can tell the construction wasn’t done very well. There are no amenities aside from the roof which has no covered areas which isn’t great for Seattles rainy months. Plus they charged me 95 a month for parking, even though I have since heard they are offering 35 a month to other tenants due to the gate never working.
Anyways, just wanted to give my honest opinion on the place. It looks much nicer than it is! I will only miss my new friends I made here and the gas station down the street for their awesome beer selection.
