      Axle is truly smart building with thoughtful design. I liked the built in modem and cable network to enable internet in a few minutes. Appliance quality is great. Access control, security is world class. Best areas in Axle are well equipped gym with Paleton bike, treadmill and rower. Rooftop is another example of thoughtful design from furniture to firepit and barbecue. I love the skylounge with pool table and large TVs. Recreation room is wonderful and work areas are great for shared workspace, ...

      2/5. I felt like for the most part that working with the leading agent was smooth. He was attentive, ready to answer questions, and very personable. Like I said (and have mentioned to him), I wish he would have disclosed that Sunday is not a good day to move in from the get-go so we could have planned differently. We moved from out of state, so making new plans for moving would have been too much (because we have cats and won’t leave a loaded u-haul out overnight if we don’t have to). Like I ...
      stated, our apartment was dirty upon move-in which is just unacceptable. The hallway walls are dirty which is a really bad first impression for a new tenant. That was one of the first things we saw on move-in day. The other halls on tour day did not look like this. Having no night security is an oversight considering that really seems to be the standard so that there is someone to help with problems overnight. I feel like it’s everything I’ve stated in my survey.

      Horrible Management

      July 3, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
      HORRIFIC. Current resident here who is absolutely getting GAUGED despite being on a MFTE plan. Management is, of course, horrible and simply refuses to help you with anything or even respond at all. I absolutely do not recommend this building as I have only been here for 3 months and have been treated so incredibly poorly that I am still in shock. The reason I won’t be renewing next year is purely because of incompetent management which is really tragic.

      Theft and Vandalism and Rent Increases

      August 27, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
      Okay, let's keep this simple. 1. I've had $9,000 worth of items(Italian motorcycle and a Cannondale mountain bike) stolen from secure areas here. A car was broken into and robbed this month. 2. Rents go up 30 percent a year as the neighborhood declines. 3. Turnover in the front office tells us they aren't happier than the tenants.

      Sub-par living masquerading as luxury

      July 5, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
      For the amount of money you pay to live here, over time you will have more and more things taken away from you, little to nothing added, but rent will go up significantly anyway. Also, like the other review says, your stuff is not secure here. PROS: The design and internal trim is nice. The bathrooms are very nice with a big illuminated mirror and a huge bathtub. Two giant windows on the wall facing the outside. An onsite community team that likes to do monthly events and snacks. Gym is decent ...
      but missing some weights. Free B&W printing in the shared workspace area. Proximity to QFC and some eateries is great. Very close to Ballard and West Queen Anne. CONS: Rent was already expensive but they just increased it by over $400 a month with no services or amenities added. Had an expensive package either not arrive or was stolen, I'll never know which because it took the assistant manager over 3 weeks to look at security footage just to find that they only keep 2 weeks of footage on hand, then deflected responsibility by only repeating "we're not responsible for packages" over and over like a robot (so hope you like reporting to robots when you have an issue, they have zero human flexibility for issues you're facing). Building retains heat in the summer; the 2021 heat wave was trapped inside for 2 weeks. The "smart" door lock system is constantly breaking down. You can only have one key fob per name on the lease, so good luck with pet sitting if you travel for work. Units don't have many windows so prepare for a lot of darkness and the feeling of living in a prison cell. Located off 15th street means transients and sketchy people are everywhere, constantly. I've seen many posted notes and emails about stolen bikes. No guest parking except very limited street parking. Overall I do not recommend living at Axle unless you like leasing from a company that cares more about profit margins than resident satisfaction.

      Your Things Will Not Be Secure Here

      June 1, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
      The staff at Axle is great! Very nice people. Unfortunately, Lennar, the corporation that owns Axle and other properties, does not take security seriously. In the past year, I've had a $3,000 bike stolen from the "secure" bike room ( it was locked to the rack) and last week I had a $6,000 motorcycle stolen from a parking space in the "secure" garage (it had a column lock so guys had to lift it into a truck in the garage). In both cases, management's response has been "We'll check the ...
      video." No additional security measures have been put in place. So, if you are planning on coming here and storing a car, a motorcycle, a bike or anything else outside your apartment, think twice. Your personal stuff will not be safe. My hope is I will update this posting the future to tell you what management has done in response to this problem. For now, don't bring your valuable things here.
