loud, dangerous and terrible management
March 12, 2022apartment is suited next to a major freeway and it's loud. had my car and apartment broken into. management will not return your callsReview from Apartments.com
bad management staff
August 28, 2019Beware of the management staff at this place. They act all nice and helpful up until you sign your lease and hand over your keys. Once you become a tenant the service goes downhill. They focus all their attention on bringing in new folks and neglect the current tenants. Kelly, Jabreel, Stephanie, and Katherine are all terrible and Kelly is especially rude. Parking is nonexistent after 6:00pm on weekdays and weekends. Too many people living here and not enough parking. Car break ins are also a big ...problem. They have security signs hanging up but I have never seen any kind of security at this place. The worst apartment management staff I have ever had to deal with!Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
Very Bad Managment
August 15, 2019I took lease for 12 months and i did a lease breakage (5 Months). these guys put a total of 1202$ as final bill charges even though i maintained the Apartment in very good condition. I cleaned it very well. Carpet Cleaning 185.00$ Apartment Painting 385.00 $ Apartment Cleaning 176.00$ nwp Final - NWP 05/26-07/17/19 456.35$ Please think twice before you sign the lease with themReview from Apartments.com
Maintenance Nightmare
September 9, 2018When I moved in on day one, there were multiple problems with the apartment: All the cabinet fronts in the kitchen and bathroom were missing. it took ~2 weeks to get them installed. The living room heater CAUGHT FIRE when I turned it on to test it. The dining room light switch did not work because the contractor had cut the wire when remodeling. Also took 2 weeks to fix. The dishwasher was not hooked up to the water supply. There is a persistent rumbling noise like a generator coming from the ...walls. I'm still trying to get maintenance to come investigate. Additionally, the property is littered with trash, the breezeways are filthy, and parking is atrocious. If your living standards are anywhere above "squalid" I recommend avoiding at all costs.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
If you want to live here...
March 12, 2018Make sure you are OK with the following: -Frequent mail theft -Even more frequent vehicle break-ins -"Valet" trash that you pay for every month that everyone dislikes due to poor service. -Rent hikes every lease period -Threatening notices in all forms if even ONE day late on rent -Apathetic or downright rude staff -Predatory move-out fees -Limited parking -Decent landscaping No idea how this place has positive reviews here, pretty sure they were paid for. Check every other review platform and ...you will see why. STEER CLEAR of Avana 522.Property Manager Responded

Last straw
November 18, 2017There is no way the reviews on this site are real. If you are a resident you will see nothing but negative reviews on the resident portal. 1) Cars are broken into all the time. There is suppose to be a security service, although I have never seen anyone. 2) The garbage is valet pickup. You have to pay for this service, even though they miss picking up trash. Then if they don't pick your trash up you need to complain to the company and not the apartment. 3) I wish I would have counted the number ...of times we have fire alarm testing this year because it is absurd. Considering I just received a notice of fire alarm testing on a Saturday afternoon for testing Monday morning; I can tell you the 48 hour notice is a flat out lie. I informed the staff (Marissa) that I have a diabetic dog that freaks out when they do fire alarm testing and I need more notice to plan for these testing dates. The response I received was that they gave a 48 hour notice and she will bring it up in the next staff meeting. Maybe they care about residents, although I have not had that experience. 4) There is a new shared locker service that you also pay for as well. You have 3 days to pick up your mail or you will be charged a fee. On the resident portal, a resident reported that her mail was taken and they were unable to get it back. 5) It's a little ghetto. I think there are 3 abandoned cars that are in my parking area. If you don't have any issues it's not bad. If you have a problem, good luck. On the positive side, maintenance is really fast about responding to issues.Property Manager Responded

Beautiful Cozy Place!
October 29, 2017Moved here February 2017 and are still current residents. I LOVE the location and amenities offered. The community feels very safe, there have been a few cars broken into and one stolen but I believe that will happen anywhere you go. The property is beautiful and so is our apartment. We have only ever had to have someone fix something in our place once and they took care of us the same day we called. There is valet waste and the only problem we have had with it is that because you have to leave ...it outside, sometimes squirrels get into it and rip the bag so they won't take it, but that is really no ones fault but the squirrels. The only real complaint I have is contacting the office SOMETIMES can be a pain by phone. But in these cases I just waited a few hours and was able to try again later and reached someone. Overall the staff is super professional and courteous, the grounds are gorgeous, and our apartment (even the un-renovated one) is very nice quality! I would recommend friends and loved ones to live here, and I think that speaks for itself!Property Manager Responded
October 30, 2017Thank you for taking a moment to share your wonderful thoughts with us, it certainly has put a smile on our hearts. It's easy to fall in love with the unrealistic beauty of the Pacific Northwest which is something we have in common with the squirrels and plenty of other woodsy creatures for that matter however, they don't always seem to receive our memos. We will continue to work with residents in effort to better improve the trash/recycle pick up procedures which should help curb those sneaky late night cravings and squirrel mischief you speak of. It is never our intention to miss a phone call however, we understand it can happen and we apologize if we unintentionally caused frustration. You are always welcome to send us an email to avana522lease@greystar.com or avana522mgr@greystar.com if that's easier or simply leave us a voicemail and we will be certain to respond back as quickly as we possibly can. We hope you continue to enjoy the changes of the season and find that your ...heart is home, here with us.

Was greeted with smiles, very welcoming. Great costumer service, very friendly, and lots of laughter.
August 10, 2017I went to Avana the begining of June in search of a new home. There I was greeted by Narrisa, she was very nice, and always had a smile on her face. She was not pushy, took her time to show me various multiple apartments. I went three different times and Narrisa was alawys pleasent and willing to show me around again. She took the time to make sure that I had made the right decision with renting at Avana 522. Every time I went into the leasing office with multiple questions. I was always greeted ...by different lovley ladies, with a smile on their face, and ready to help me with anything I needed. Thank you so much Narrisa and all you lovely ladies in the leasing office.

June 11, 2017The leasing agent and manager made my transition to this community as seamless as can be. They were very accommodating to my needs and took the extra step in ensuring I was able to start my lease at the most convenient time.

Avana 522 Review After a few months
December 2, 2016My S0 and I recently moved to Washington, after doing a lot of research we decided to move to the Bothell/woodinville area. This has been the best decision we've made. At first when we arrived at the complex we were very uncertain. The apt we had signed the lease for was just not right for us. We spoke with Allison at the leasing office and instantly felt at ease. So, I recommend talking to her. Also, she's totally a dog person! Now we are in an apartment with a nice balcony and it's our building ...is so peacefully quiet. No major issues so far. The apartment sends out a daily digest for updates of what's happening in the apartment community which keeps the community aware.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
It was a wonderful first year
December 16, 2015The first year that I was here (2012-13) was fantastic, until we were priced out of our 3 bedroom apartment as the rent went up over $300 per month! Despite the rent increase I decided to stay in the complex, and downsize to a 2 bedroom. This is when it got ugly and, in retrospect, I should have just left then. The leasing agent I was working with was sweet but failed to reserve the apartment we agreed upon not once, but TWICE. Each time we had to rush to find another available apartment. As a ...result, I ended up paying an extra month's rent in the overpriced 3 bedroom while I waited for a 2 bedroom to open up. In fairness to management, they did agree to give me that month at the original rate since it was their error(s) that caused it. In the end, the only apartment left was a 2 bedroom that is nearly as expensive as the original 3 bedroom. I also had to pay $1200 to replace the carpet in the old apartment due to my former roommates' dog. As far as I can tell from previous reviews and from what I've heard from other residents, it's common practice for this complex to charge pet owners to replace the carpet, whether there was in fact damage or not. It also doesn't matter that you've put a security AND pet deposit down. Pet owners - expect a $1200 bill after move out. I guess that, the pet deposit, and the pet rent are all the price you pay for living in a "pet friendly" community. The biggest mistake I made was renewing my lease here in 2014, rather than finding some place cheaper in the city. Yes, you read that right. Before I decided to stay, I found houses for rent in nice neighborhoods in Seattle for as much as $500 less than I pay here. Other cons: - It is nowhere as nice on the inside as it looks on the outside - Forced to use the concierge trash service, which does not pick up Friday or Saturday - Monthly admin and upkeep fees are high,and expect dog poo in the yard for weeks - If you don't have an assigned parking spot, expect to walk 1/4 mile to your apartment - Smoking is being banned on the premises so smokers will need to leave the grounds to smoke - Every few months, there's a rash of car break ins - Once per year, an email goes out warning to keep animals off the grass due to the toxic chemicals they use to treat it Pros: - It is relatively quiet - Close proximity to the expressway and easy buses - Shopping nearby - Two outdoor pools - BBQ area that you can use if you go early or late enough to grab a grill - Two small fitness centersRead MoreReview from Apartments.com
