Three20 Apartments

I’d have to say, the leasing and move in process was pretty flawless. I was relocating from San Francisco and found this place as they just started leasing. You can tell the people working there really like their jobs.
They have allot of easy features to pay rent online and open work orders. When you get a package they automatically email you. One cool thing is the free bike parking or private bike parking for $ 5 bucks a month and roof top deck (which I still have to make a trip up there).
The only downside is the property is pet friendly but doesn’t have a pet area onsite. (Grass is close about a block away, they promote the dog park but it’s gravel and not well maintained by the city down the street). Also the building doesn’t have a workout room. Other than those things I’m a fan. They are still adding retail below so not sure if a restaurant will come into play.
For me, the only reason they fall short of a 5 star is lack of fitness room and storage onsite. They have limited storage rooms and there is a waiting list which they are happy to put you on.

Try the rooftop view!
I have been renting their largest model apartment here for almost 2 weeks.
I will update the review when the lease is complete.
So far so good. I am one of the first few tenants in the building so it is quiet. I do not hear a sound from the street below and so far it seems to be insulated to noise pollution well.
It gets chilly in the unit, but right now its also surrounded by unoccupied units that are ice cold so that doesn’t help. It takes longer for the hot water to travel from the boiler room and reach the unit. This will all change when other tenants move in or it heats up outside. The unit is equipped with a decent air heater and a bedroom radiator each with their own programmable thermostats. If you have ever lived in a brand new building as the first or one of the first few tenants you have experienced these things for yourself.
The staff is ace.
They really took city noise issues into consideration when building this. The parking garage is insulated very well too.
The unit build materials and fixtures are hit and miss.
While the last place I rented had real wood flooring that was too fragile for its own good, this place has synthetic tiles that look good enough and are thankfully able to deal with normal use.
The oven is OK — but I had a crazy wok chef gas /​grill station in the last apartment in the same rent range so the standard silver electric stove is a pretty noticeable downgrade.
The last place I rented has a huge rainforest shower and this place has a simple compact shower /​bathtub combo.
The small white washer dryer combo works okay for general laundry, but you can forget about getting blankets that are too large in there or large loads. You will feel like you are doing laundry a lot more because what could fit in a full size washer would need to be broken down into 3+ loads to fit in this washer /​dryer combo. I realize many city apartment people use laundromats so I am not really complaining too much :) Just my last place managed to fit a full sized W/​D in there and it performed :)
This place really reminds me of a middle class Tokyo apartment the way things are arranged.
If you are into compact and small, don’t need a lot of closets etc or a minimalist I think this apartment style will work best for you.
The neighborhood is amazing and I am glad I ended up here as a long distance transplant rather than downtown down the hill where I was originally looking.
Capitol Hill always feels alive and the people are all charming /​lovely in their own way. The local business and venues are a very competent commerce family filled with diversity and personality. You can walk for miles in any direction and always find places to explore or stuff to see. Pubs, café and restaurants too!
