This complex was better under the old management (Berkshires). Since Griffis came in, they've been under construction for the better part of a year, so those "amenities" we're paying for are never available. They redid a perfectly functional pool deck in the middle of summer, so the pool was only open for a month. They have now decided that they don't like the work that was done on the pool deck so they're closing the hot tub (supposed to be open year round) for the foreseeable future- based on
...how long its taken all the other projects to be completed, I doubt it will be open until summer of 2018 (and that's being generous). They started construction on BOTH clubhouses at the same time, and neither are finished, rendering both rooms unusable. Equipment in the fitness center is never functioning properly (exercise machines, A/C, water cooler- you name it). They have yet to finish the courtyard (construction on that began in March of 2017), which means that there is no longer a safe place to take your dog out after dark; Belltown is not the most secure area, which they are well aware of, since there have been multiple break-ins, and not 1 BUT
2 assaults on women within the "secure" building. They didn't even notify residents the first time an assault happened on the property; instead, we found out about it from news crews which were stationed outside to interview unwitting residents regarding the attack.
Now that we've found a safer and more secure location that we can be comfortable residing in, we are being penalized for breaking the lease. But what penalties can we impose on a negligent apartment complex that isn't living up to their end of the bargain? If you're looking for a place to live in Belltown, you're better off at one of the other hundreds of communities within the area- especially for the rates they're charging (get a brand new apartment with functioning amenities; you'll be happier).
