Hi everybody! I'm moving out of Seattle and would love for somebody to take over my lease in South Lake Union for a 1BD/1BR 669 sq ft apartment in a high-rise. I LOVE this apartment and it makes me extremely sad to part ways with it. The apartment can be available partially furnished (I plan to part ways with all my living room furniture!) or fully empty if you prefer. 

Features:

• State-of-the-art appliances, include in-unit W/D
• Concrete walls—enjoy peace and quiet
• South-facing apartment for loads of natural sunlight
• Air conditioning to keep you cool during the Seattle summers! The apartment actually keeps heat very well so I rarely even need to turn on my heater during the winter.

 Location:

• Easy access to multiple bus lines, perfect for a car-free lifestyle

 Building Amenities:

• Full gym, rooftop hot tub, rooftop lounge... SO many incredible sunsets!
• BBQ areas and small conference rooms
• Responsive and amazing building management

 Availability: December 13th - September 14th (dates negotiable, can start January 1st if preferred and you can have rest of December for free!). Rent: $2476/month (a steal, normally $300-400 more in this building)! Utilities will be another $150-200 a month.

Note: Parking is not included, that is an extra $300/month. Please DM me if you're interested as I'm happy to send photos and do a tour!

I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with The Helen apartments in Capitol Hill, because I lived there for 6 months before breaking my lease and my experience was so unbelievably, comically horrific I'm curious if anyone else has stories or knows people with stories. The apartment was shared kitchen and bathrooms, and there were no keys, only door codes. I was told by multiple neighbors in a frantic state that apparently there is a maintenance code that some people who were squatting on the 4th floor had somehow acquired, that surpasses the code to any door, rendering your door being locked essentially meaningless. Multiple neighbors told me that they'd be home, and they'd hear their code being punched in and see their knob turn and door open, then the perpetrator would run when they saw someone was home. Someone in the building got robbed clean of everything 4 times, and walked around with a backpack full of his most important belongings at all times. I was woken up one morning to the voices of cops outside my window, then, bleary eyed, listened to a neighbor explain to the cops how another neighbor was attacked with a shovel by a notorious guy living in the basement floor. I'd routinely be woken up by this guy angrily screaming. Another guy on the ground floor broke the hallway fire extinguisher case in a rage, and sprayed it all over the hallway, sending 2 people to the hospital because they were wrong place wrong time and the residue got in their eyes. I came home from visiting family and the residue had gotten under my door and all over the entrance to my room. I'd find random mysterious blood stains in the hallway, and the security camera in my hallway was smashed. The bathrooms got cleaned once a month if you were lucky; I'd routinely find dog shit all over the floor, canned peas and corn dumped into the sink, beer poured and beer cans scattered all over the floor. Once there was no hot water for 3 weeks. The rooms didn't have fire extinguishers, and using a microwave in your room took power out of the next 3 adjacent rooms. There was 1 washer and 1 dryer on each of the 4 floors, but the basement ones don't count because going down there was actively unsafe due to that floor's residents; the ground floor washer's door was missing; and the 3rd floor dryer had to be restarted every 10 minutes. So essentially there were only 2 "working" washers and dryers for the whole building, but they worked so poorly and were so often occupied that when I moved, I was able to do the same amount of laundry in one day that it took me 5 months to do at The Helen. There were only 3 women in the whole building because it wasn't a safe place for anyone, but absolutely not for women. I'm glad I'm in a situation where I was able to break my lease and find a better, safer place. Does anyone else have stories? Whatever you do, do NOT move here unless you want to be traumatized.

Less than 1 mile from Amazon sphere downtown, pike place Beautiful, quiet spacious apartment with a direct view of Olympic Sculpture Park. Easy access to Amazon office. Sublease valid until next April. Contact me if you're interested

Considering moving to REN in South Lake Union, but reading their Google reviews recently has me spooked. Can anyone speak to how bad the elevator and trash situation actually is? I love the units but highly reconsidering if tenants are constantly getting stuck in the elevators or they're constantly down. Thanks in advance!

Anyone has experience apodments? I want to schedule a tour but they are asking me to apply first (+$40 fee).

So I'm nearing the end of my lease in December and I was looking for an apartment(studio or 1 bedroom) in the general Seattle area. I'm not too picky on the neighborhood(i can't obviously), but I'm not too sure where to start; has anyone looked or successfully found a property that's pretty good?

Hi! I am looking for a short term rental (around 3 months), preferably with monthly lease. Not picky about the location (Seattle, University District, Roosevelt, Ballard). What resources can I use, does anyone know of apartments doing this?

I’m unable to secure an apartment on Long Island NY. I’m thinking of relocating to Seattle. Is it necessary to have a job in Seattle prior to applying for housing? The house that I’ve lived in for decades is being sold. I will get a share of the sale. Will work be an issue?

Hi all, I'm 30M looking for a place 2 nights a week only starting September till November/December. Ideally I'd like it to be downtown but okay with udistrict, Ballard, Fremont area too. I'm not picky on the room (also okay with a comfortable couch). Just need a place to sleep between the commute back and forth.

My budget is around 30-50$ a day depending on the location and place.

Let me know if you have something!

Hello,

I’m interested in moving to Seattle for work but hoping to get an idea of apartments before I visit. Is there something other than Domu that is used to list rentals in the area? Thanks!!

I was considering moving to the Skye Apartments in Belltown, Seattle. Its got good reviews on Google, but I was hoping to get a first-hand experience share.

If ( and only if) you lived there or are living there, please respond and let me know how are the apartments are, how the heating/insulation is, how prompt the maintenance is, and how easy/hard it is to work with the property management.

P.S.: If you want to whine and complain about Seattle prices and how difficult your life is, this is not the right place. I am seeking specific information and would greatly appreciate the same.

Hiiiii

So thankfully for me, I've been blessed with a wonderful job that gives me a good amount of money to now pay for a place with what I'm looking for.

I lived in NYC for the past year, so you can imagine how drastically different this is going to be for me. I want that same level of social environment in the next place that I live. I had a friend who lived in a very social, young apartment and they did tons of community events, had a gym, pool, rooftop to tan on -- and that's what I would love love love!

Anyone have an idea where I can find this?

Hi all. My partner and I are moving across the country for work to Seattle. We both have some degree of flexibility after August on when to move in. We’re wondering what the lead time is for finding a place and when available rental stock at its lowest. For reference our ideal time to move in would be the second or third week of September and would love to live in Wallingford, Green Lake or close by. Cheers.

So I applied to a place and so far so good, finished the application and got a call 2 hours later that I can set my move in day the following week as early as Monday or late as I need, is this a scam I am walking into?

Looking for 6 months lease / sublease of a private room with attached bathroom

I’ll be in Seattle for a 6 month co-op starting first week of june. My budget is 1000-1600 a month, and I am open to staying anywhere as long as the neighborhood is safe and is connected to Downtown via buses. If anyone has any solid leads please let me know! Thanks!

Hello I’m planning on moving to Seattle from Florida and I’m interested in renting an apartment in downtown or close to Downtown, any suggestions? my budget will be for a 2/2 or 2/1 bath under $2500 or $3000 with parking spot included and safe :)

Just to be clear this isn’t a lightbulb replacement, it’s an LED light panel that’s wired into the ceiling in my kitchen. I’ve lived in the apartment for a little under a year. I assumed this would be managements responsibility to replaced since it’s wired in, but they’re saying it’s on me. I’m trying to find any documentation around this, but it’s hard because most of it’s about lightbulbs and not a light fixture.

Anyone have any tips?

Hi I lived Western US all my life and I want to move to Seattle for change of scenery, I like the night life and urban setting of downtown Seattle but I would like to live outside of it enough to enjoy the greenery while still being on the scene - what areas are recommended?

Hello! My partner and I are moving to Seattle from another state and we noticed that many of the Seattle apartment complexes do not have many move-in dates past 30 days...Which is very strange to us given where we live now where most complexes require you to let them know that you're moving 2-3 months prior to your lease ending. It is making it very difficult for us to apply for a lease cause our ideal move-in date would be early June. Is this common in Seattle? That you can only plan a month in advance? Where should we be looking for apartments with move-in dates that match ours? Any advice is appreciated :)

I'm used to the NYC market. Gone same day. If a big apartment building has units for rent, would they be open to a lower rate?

Hi

How is it to rent from RPA? Rent? Repairs?

Thank you.

Hi, I'm looking to live in Belltown and am interested hearing from people who live/lived in the Elara at the Market and Ovation apartments downtown.

I'm aware of people's feelings about downtown and the homelessness and other issues. I'm just needing feedback on this complex not the hood.

1. if you need repairs (stopped up toilet, etc) is it easy to get ahold of them at any time? Do they respond quickly for repairs?

2. Do they apartments look like the pictures? The facilities?

3. Do people use the common areas much (aside from the gym)?

4. Is it relatively quiet inside (like soundproofing is good or neighbors are quiet)? Dogs barking a lot?

5. Which layout/floorplan did you have and did you like it?

6. How is rent collected? I mean, do you have to pay via mail/check or can you transfer it? (I've been abroad for 15 years so I have no idea the current rental environment of payments.)

7. safety wise: Can anyone walk into the lobby, or is that locked? If so, what is the locking mechanism? Keycard? Key? pincode?

8. Did you have a dog? How was your experience having one?

9. between Ovation and Elara, which block/neighborhood is marginally better considering the current situation?

TIA!

Hello,

I live in a very old building- think ceiling leaks every 2 years. Ive lived there 15 years. I find it very convenient, good neighbors, parking etc..

My rent slowly, of course has been raised.

I was surprised to see that this year the increase for rent plus WSG 5.11%- yes there is a 6 month notice.

What increases do others have there days?

I recall a Seattle Times news article saying the rents are not increasing late in December.. but here I am- surprised. I have never had a new carpet nor painting. One year I asked for and got the carpet shampooed- that was because during covid when landlords could not evict an irresponsible tenant never picked up after her dog & I unknowingly stepped in a minefield of dog poo and tracked in some on my shoes. ( Ha ha - I made a big stink about it at the time and when lease was due for renewal I insisted it be professionally cleaned. I have at times been able to get the increase lowered. I was told rent raise would be XXX - which I asked for 20 off.. but I did not realize the WSG would also go up 10 so in essence I only got 10.00 knocked off.

I also do a lot of caring for plants around building which they know about and in a way turn a blind eye.

The place is getting less outer maintenance but they do fix and do apt repairs.

​

Thank you.
