    Love, Cascade and LSE this neighborhood is safe and simply peaceful. From the management to the staff who has now become family is why I continue to call Cascade home. The professionalism from management is top tier (which shocks me to see other reviews) they make living at Cascade enjoyable. The front desk/staff is always friendly on top of being helpful to accommodate residents 24/7. The buildings, amenities, and common areas are always clean as if the building has just been built. The ...
    residents are friend & respectful and do not over utilize amenities which is a plus. And lastly I love the app and activities for our community that is constantly being elevated month-after-month. After work I run home to engage in activities. The peace and tranquility is unparalleled as you walk on the lake and go into the park that is huge and also have movies in the park in the summer ^_^. 5 star restaurants in the St. Regis and we are only a walk away from the river. Can't beat it. So come visit and see for yourself.

  • Lots of noise from upstairs

    January 15, 2025
    We specifically asked if we would hear the upstairs neighbors, that is, how effective between-floor soundproofing is in this building. Marco in the leasing office told us there were no issues whatsoever. However, there was constant noise from upstairs, making it difficult to sleep, and sounding like a troop of restless elephants. It's hard to understand how designers of such a new building could have failed to adequately engineer sound proofing between floors when the technology to do so has been ...
    around for a long time. Some apartments have good views, though overall it feels more like living in an office building than a home. Best attribute is nearby parks/lake front, but other buildings have that too.

  • cant get on resident app after two weeks - difficult!

    May 4, 2024
    I cant get on the basic app for building services, and to find out things like how to get my mail or events or announcements. I can only get on the rent cafe portal to pay The orientation link was broken. I have been here two weeks. Everyone in the office says they do not know anything about it. Really stressful!!! I give up. Not the best experience.

  • Too Expensive Compared to Alternatives

    June 3, 2023
    Amenities are good, but that's all they'll emphasize if you get a tour. The prices are way too expensive compared to other buildings, rooms are too small, walls are thin so you can hear loud neighbors, and lack of transparency from management i.e. regarding stolen items.

      Hello Jeremy, Since we are unable to locate your name in our system, we invite you to call the office as soon as possible to speak with a team member. We would appreciate the opportunity to determine your identity and show you some of our larger floor plans. We look forward to speaking with you! The Cascade Apartments Team

  • Worst place I've lived

    August 18, 2022
    This building is absurdly poorly run and poorly constructed. It lived up to absolutely none of the leasing agent's promises. And despite that it's brand new, something new breaks in my unit on an almost weekly basis. Bottom line, unless you want to pay an obscene amount for a loud, janky building that's poorly run and unpleasant as hell, rent someplace else.
