Stratford on 4th

Lived at this building for two years. Have nothing but good things to say about it. The manager that is there now is on top of everything. If you have something that needs to get done he gets it done for you without hesitation. I had packages delivered and was not there to accept them sometimes and I would call the manager and he would happily place it in my apartment for me.
Great place to live in downtown Seattle. Plus, when the Hawks win the Super Bowl again, the parade is right outside your window!

I lived here while attending college in Seattle. Beautiful studio apartment, great location! Close to public transportation and most places can even be reached on foot! The landlord here is AMAZING. Very easy to talk to, quickly attends to repairs, extremely understanding and accommodating… I cannot recommend him or these apartments enough!

I lived here for a year and it was a really great experience. The hardwood floors, wooden beams, interior brick, beautiful counter-​tops and cabinets were beautiful and gave it a great aesthetic. Free storage units, pet friendly, transit accessible, and right next to Dahlia bakery. Nick is a great manager and we never had any problems with him — it’s really nice to find someone in this city who isn’t a mindless rule follower and just treats tenants like humans.

I lived at Stratford for 18 months and loved it. The property manager Nick is great. Highly recommend living here– super close to downtown and convenient to nearly every bus line.

I have lived at the Stratford for almost a year and am moving out after getting engaged. This apartment is in an ideal location — in the heart of everything and yet the immediate streets are a lot cleaner that some areas of Belltown. Close to Pike Place, Westlake, South Lake Union, and I currently walk to my office in the financial district. The fellow tenants are respectful, quiet and polite. What truly makes this apartment is the manager, Nick. He is by far the best apartment manager I’ve ever had — I can’t imagine one better. He is truly an asset to the property. Having an accessable, responsive manager makes all the difference. This apartment has been the perfect single girl’s place before moving on to the next chapter of my life. I’m happy to have found it when I did.

My girlfriend and I just recently moved out after living their for over 3 years. The manager, Nick, is great to work with. The location is perfect for being able to hop outside and go to any number of Belltown or Downtown restaurants. There can be some issues with street noise depending on the side of the building you’re in, but that’s par for the course with most downtown apartments.
Overall, a great place to live with a great location.

I’ve lived at the Stratford for about a year and a half now and have been really happy here. The building is quiet, though you are downtown so there is street noise. Having grown up next to trains and airports, I’m fine with this.
Nick, the apartment manager, has always been helpful and responsive. I remember having a plumbing problem in my tub once and I called him while I was at work and it was fixed by the time I got home that day. Not being used to this level of competence, I was markedly impressed.
The people here vary pretty greatly, but I think all the tenants have a mutual respect. Doors are held open, hello’s are exchanged, there even seems to be good public laundry etiquette for the most part (i.e. not leaving clothes in the washer for 3 hours). My floor is actually pretty close-​knit and regularly have hallway meetups, which is lovely.
Other amenities include a (small and ancient) elevator, a cozy little rooftop deck with a BBQ, and GAS STOVES. Quality ones (meaning no electric parts).
I like this place. It has character (s).

I’ve lived here for about a year, and have been very happy. The location is unbeatable: near downtown, the Belltown nightlife scene, and dozens of bus routes. Nick, the property manager, is very responsive and any requests that I’ve had for my space have been addressed within a day. I’ve made friend with my neighbors. All of the residents that I’ve met here have been polite and friendly, and I’ve had no noise issues. The free wifi is not super-​reliable, but it’s nice but not necessary amenity. I would recommend it to people who are looking for a small place that is close to lots of exciting things to do in Seattle. Bonus: very cat-​friendly environment.

We lived in Seattle for 2 years at the Stratford. We had a one bedroom on one of the higher floors. You know I really liked it. They had large windows, hardwood floors in our unit. Great closet space and a nice kitchen.
Storage lockers in the basement for additional space, on-​site laundry, A workout room with equipment and additional storage for bikes and stuff. Great comparative space for the price in the area.
Location wise it was great. I mean if you work downtown, especially for Amazon you cannot beat it. It was a few blocks from my work many, many buses on the opposite side of the block, Westlake two blocks away, the SLUT (South Lake Union Trolley), Shopping galore! 3 blocks from Pikes Place and the waterfront, Bed Bath and beyond, City Target, a few malls and Cinerama, an awesomely renovated 1960s theatre used for movie premiers and such.
The street itself has many restaurants include 4 from James beard award winning chef Tom Douglas.
The Residence manager Nick and staff were great. He would respond to by text, calls, and email for any concern. Friendly, honest and Diligent. I don’t know about the Robin dude but Nick is da bomb!
Oh and the is a sweet roof top deck with a bbq.

I’ve lived at the Stratford for almost 2 years. Located downtown, it makes life more easier and more comfortable. Close to restaurants, clothing stores, buss stops, bars and supermarkets, you can stroll down 4^th ave. at an easy pace and then take in the ambiance of the famed Pike Place Market.
I found Nick the resident manager responsive and friendly. When I have a problem he immediately responses to it quickly and makes sure all goes well. He’s open to suggestions to improving the living situation of the building.
What I miss about living there was the laundry room. Cheaper than the other local laundromats, you go to the basement in your pajamas. This makes life more convenient and I don’t have to go out at all!
The Stratford allows cats! My cat liked living there too. At times she likes to wander around the hallway.
I would highly recommend living there.

Great location nick cares and gets things done, got my girlfriend and I in quick, apartment was clean and well maintained, safe friendly environment.
