Throughout the entire process of locating a place to live while still 2,000 miles away, moving in, living in Tacoma, and moving back home again after school...I clearly made the right choice finding Park Tower Apartments! Both Peggy and Brittany went above and beyond with every request and question that was put forth by me and my parents...they sent me photos, bus routes and maps of services in the area in advance of moving in. And knowing no one else out here, they were always friendly,
...helpful, obliging and knowledgeable. More concierge than "rental office" mentality. And that helpful friendliness did not stop when I moved in. I count myself very very lucky. I have loved the experience here.
It's true what they say...LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! I had no car here and transportation was always conveniently available to anywhere. So were the grocery, bank, medical appts, book store, movie theatre and restaurants in easy safe walking distance. It is a perfect walking neighborhood. Beautiful victorian homes and gardens! Our building is right off Wright Park, designed by the same person that created Central Park in NYC and there is always something going on there... It is also a short and picturesque walk down Commencement Bay. I learned a lot about Tacoma and it's history thanks to some books I was lent by Management.
The maintenance of the building itself is excellent. Their on-site staff and after hours service is expedient, professional and very service oriented. They not only "fixed" things; they also replaced them when necessary. The same day! They always kept an eye ahead and didn't waste time with "band-aid" fixes. The building's art deco decor as well as the landscaping and grounds were tastefully updated while in residence and it was managed without creating any inconvenience to me.
Park Towers is the full package: Location, friendly residents,a professional and competent staff and a well maintained, safe and comfortable place to call home....
