Addison Greens

My wife and I currently just finished our first year here at Addison Greens, and despite the negative reviews we have thoroughly enjoyed it.
Pros
— Great location, close to freeways and right in between Sumner and downtown Puyallup.
— The Manager, Monica, along with her staff have done a great job answering any questions we have and any issues we have dealt with.
— Great neighbors, and great apartment. Nice appliances, open layout, and great view.
— The price is fantastic. The fact that W/​S/​G is one flat rate makes things very easy.
— We lucked out renting a 3^rd floor, corner apartment, in the furthest part of the complex so it is very quiet and seldom do we here any noise that’s over the top.
— Grounds are well landscaped, maintained, and clean. By far the cleanest of any complex I have visited.
Cons
— Parking, unfortunately can be a pain. So if you have friends or family over frequently it can be inconvenient for them to find parking. My wife has our spot closest to our Unit and if I get home anytime after 5pm I plan on walking probably ¹⁄₈ mile not exaggerating) to our home.
— Security could be improved and towing policy could be enforced stronger. There are constantly cars parked in «no parking» zones. My car was stolen from the property and I was informed the security footage is only streamed and not recorded, nor are the cameras equipped to see at night. What’s the point?
As with anything, over communicating in a polite manner with the management and staff will lead to a much more positive living experience. They have always done a fantastic job meeting our needs. Upon move out I understand that we will end up paying for a few minor fixes, but with the amount of pets and younger people who live on the property, of course the apartments are going to need some professional cleaning.

The apartments are fine. What you see is what you get. No weird quirks or anything like that. The reviews on this place are true, however. When you put down a deposit, think of it as a fee, not a deposit. My wife and I spent 2 full days cleaning into every little nook and cranny. My recommendation, don’t clean, because this place will take your money regardless.

I love this complex. The apartments are so so spacious with 9 foot ceilings, they are new/​updated, and the maintenance is well kept up on. Our apartment feels really comfy and homey, which I haven’t experienced in other apartment homes. It is also a family friendly environment and kept very clean. They even pressure wash the concrete hallways outside the apartments. Love the atmosphere here!

We are signing our lease in a few days and I am so excited that everything is working out but I am so nervous now that I am reading these reviews. :/

I also wrote a review on facebook for this property. Jessica responded almost a year later asking that I contact her regarding my fb rating… so I shared her a link to this Unilocal conversation and stated that I had contacted her and it got me know where. I once again have heard nothing from her… She totally forgot me… which explains why we never heard from her again.
This company responds to complaints only to give the appearance that they are willing to rectify their customer service issues. I’ve had several people contact me asking if I could recommend apartments in Puyallup — I always make sure to warn against this one and will continue to do so.

I’ve been living here for almost 4 years. The rent’s pretty cheap for this whole area and that’s why my family and I have stayed so long. I’ve lived in worst apartments so I don’t have too much complaints. But you know what comes with cheap rent: rude neighbors. The walls are thin, so you can hear annoying neighbors yelling and their annoying ugly dogs barking. There’s no air conditioning except in the office so it’s pretty hot in the summer, especially if your room is facing west. My mom’s the one who deals with the staff so I don’t know much to say about that. WHAT I CAN’T STAND IS THE FIRE ALARM. I don’t know if there were any real fire incidents in the 4 years I lived here but that’s the most annoying thing in the world. If it went off in your building, you gotta go outside regardless of the outside weather because it’s deafening. I guess that’s the point if there were real fires BUT THERE USUALLY AREN’T ANY?! And the system is so weird that every time it goes off, the fire dept have to come and stop the alarm. Sometimes it can take more than 10 minutes. Enough to turn you insane.

If there’s a zero star Ill surely click it!
Very worst thing in this apartment is the management! They all acting so friendly at first but once u moved in and encountering some issues/​problems — a big GOOD LUCK if they gonna pay some serious attention bout it! I guess APM should hire a strict old women to be their staff in Addison. Walls & flooring/​ceiling are almost paper thin which u can hear your neighbors while having sex. Parking is one of the biggest problems if you have 2 or more cars or if u got a visitors.
I can say 900 $ rent monthly is not deserving of what you get in this apartment. rather rent a 600 $ one were u already expected what u are expecting!
***regarding the parking lot issue since Ms. jessica commented — We got «our» own parking spot BUT someone PARKED in our spot when we got home — so what we did was We park around the pool/​office area where we need to walk 3 – 4 minutes going back to our apartment!
****We know bout the rental garages but thats not what we are talking bout!
** plus Can Addison have a BETTER staff in the office? The one that has concern in our concerns!

This property is managed by American Property Management company. Be sure to read the fine print, and beware! The company has no integrity, or social conscience, and will go to any extreme to screw tennants. Baware, and run fast in the other direction before doing business with these guys. We should throw these crooks in Jail.

Am I really the first person to write a review for this place?! I expected to find a lot of negative ones so I’m really surprised. When I first moved to Addison Greens it was brand new and mostly unoccupied. Over 2 years I watched this place turn into a trailer trash Jerry Springer nightmare. It looks nice from the outside but living here was anything but pleasant. The whole time I was living here we went through 4 managers and a constant turnover with the staff. They were all pretty much just there to collect a paycheck and nobody really cared. I swear they had a deal with the tow truck company since they frquently had residents vehicles towed with no warning. The problem is there isn’t close to enough parking places. The cops were here on a regular basis and it always made my day when they were evicting, doing a drug bust or arresting one of my neighbors. I couldn’t wait to move away and when I finally did they sent me an outrageous bill. Typical since Addison Greens was all about misrepresenting themselves. I have lived in lots of apartments and I’ve learned the hard way that brand new isn’t always better. Looks can be deceiving so do your homework. Nobody liked living here then and I can’t imagine its any better now.
