Veridian Cove

We moved out of a noisy condo apartment in February 2015. it is now almost October 2015. We still have not received our damage deposit back. I contacted them 3 times by phone. Their first attempt for the refund was a check sent to the apartment we had moved out of. Duh. They had our new address. Apologies each time. I went in personally and saw the manager put in a PO for the check. That was a month ago. No word, no check. I don’t blame the manager for not trying. this is a remote & corporately owned facility whose only interest is collecting money. They have no vested interest in the community. Its hard to avoid this more and more. but, if you can find a locally owned place, I think you’ll do much better.

I bought my condo in late december 2014 and moved in on january 5^th. I waited until the end of may to write my review.
I like this property, it’s kept clean — 5 acres — and has been upgraded since it was sold to new
owners in spring of 2014. The pool is heated and opens late may through september. There is a work out room and it’s a few steps via private gated trail to Bitter lake. A very nice and large club house is available for rent. Easy commute by different buses to dowtown, Shoreline CC, Northgate etc. (I have chosen not to have a car, therefore the location, the walking score and the public transport were important to me).
Is it perfect? no, however everything that was supposed to be done after the inspection has been done (albeit a little slower than I thought). The property manager is present week-​days and responsive to questions. The person running the sales office is very knowledgeable and ready to help.
Please notice the dates on the negative reviews they are mostly from renters and quite outdated. The few remaining renters have been given notices to move or to purchase at a very fair price. (I do not know all the details).
The property is owner occupied mostly.
I am not giving a 5 stars because it’s very difficult to contact the company that oversees the HOA. and their web-​site is 2 months behind in their report. That company will remain nameless for the time being, hopefully it will get «it» together and organized soon.
So I can sign off «a very happy owner-​resident of the Cove at Veridian

.totally.SUCKS… Property within the city of seattle is sooo expensive, when u see a complex with totally reasonable purchase prices u think, i have to jump on this, what a great deal! Must be overlooked by everyone else in the City?! Not the case, this is totally u get what u pay for, unfortunately… This complex is touted as «condos», which in my property experience means built to code based on condo building specifications. Cannot POSSIBLY be the case here! Thinnest walls, ceilings, floors than any apartment i’ve ever lived in! Every movement, conversation, bathroom break, baby cry, garbage disposal usage, drawer open/​close that occurs upstairs or next to me is felt and heard! Directly across the street from a fire station that gets calls constantly, so constant sirens going off. There are birds (seagulls)living/nesting on our roof that amplifies down the fireplace all times of morning and day, which management says theres nothing they can do. Road noise from N. 130^th is ridiculous, and theres a busstop so constant foot traffic. Neighbors have about a pound of cigarette butts in the grass outside their patio which is totally disgusting! That in addition to the micro parking spaces, if u dont drive a fiat dont bother trying to live here! The location is decent to downtown or northgate, but really thats about it. Save more money and buy a decent place, because this isnt it! (Luckily i’m a renter and the countdown to the end of this lease has begun)!!!

I can’t agree more with the previous reviewer. The management company is most responsive when it comes to payment but if you make a service request or ask a question, it’s a crapshoot of when they’ll reply. There doesn’t seem to be any standards for who they let rent the units. Tenants can be loud, irresponsible, and just stupid, i.e. smoking out a unit cause they don’t know how to use a fireplace and the whole building needs to evacuate. I actually bought this place for a low price which explains things. The dues go up each year but the place isn’t improved and the staff sucks. Garage door constantly gets stuck, totally made with crappy material. Construction of all the buildings are found to be faulty so there’s an ongoing lawsuit against the builders/​contractors so no refinancing for folks.

The people who work here are beyond stupid. Please If u can stay away from here. Ive lived many of places and never had so many problems. They never get back to you about getting you a parking spot and they have a rule where u cant be parked in visitor parking spot for more then 24 hours or you get towed. Great well what they don’t say is they can make shit up and get you towed even if you are within the 24 hours. They also had construction there and didn’t post it but a day before on the mailbox and they would tow at your own expense. The best part was they said it would take two days and it took 3 and we had to park a mile down the road. I also got this women who parks next to me and i have to climb about of the driver side and into the passenger side but theres nuttin they can do because she is fat? Wtf. STAY AWAY WORSTE PLACE EVER! Oh btw I’ve only lived here for two months and im having this much trouble

Let me preface this by saying that I’ve never lived here. However, I wanted to share my experience in trying to view their property. After visiting their website and seeing some of the photos I decided to check it out in person. I called and left a message indicating I wanted to schedule an appointment to view their rentals. Two days went by and no one ever called me back. I finally called again and a somewhat flighty woman answered the phone. She said I could come by at any time during their business hours to view the property. When I arrived at their office the next day, I encountered a sign indicating «Be back at 4pm». Not a big deal. I left and came back shortly after 4pm. Unfortunately, the sign was still up and no one was in the office. I finally gave up. If they’re this inattentive to prospective tenants, can you imagine how they treat their actual tenants? I decided to take my business elsewhere.
