Lions Gate North

Love living here! Maintance staff is wonderful and very much like having a home.

My husband and I have lived at Lions Gate North for just about a year and we have really enjoyed our stay. For one, it is a gated community so it really feels like a close knit community and the children really do have a safe area to play away from any main roads. The complex is mostly town homes with garages so you don’t feel like you are cramped in an apartment. Once you are inside your home, it is really quiet. I have never heard my neighbors to the left or right so its safe to say that the walls are not thin.
The best part I would say is the staff. There isn’t one person on the staff that I did not like. They are all down to earth and really do work hard to make sure that everyone is comfortable and happy. Maintenance requests which can be done online are answered relatively quickly. If I fill out a request the night before, it is done when I get home from work. Not only that, maintenance usually leaves me a voice message to tell me the update. Tasha in the office is the pinnacle of professionalism. She understands customer service and is all around fair. She looks the part and it carries through in the way she organizes community events or just day to day business. She is a good example of how other complexes should interact with their community.
The only negative I would say is that it can be pricey living here, but it is Redmond and prices are going up everywhere. Most smaller apartments are still more expensive than Lions Gate.
We are leaving to move closer to work in Seattle, but have really enjoyed our stay!

I’ve lived at quite a few places over the years in Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond and etc (I like to move around a lot to try out new places)
I’ve stayed at the lionsgate for 10 months and i could say that it’s one of the few best places i’ve ever lived at.
Pros
— feels very much «Homey» if you know what i mean
— If you submit a maintenance request, it will get handled the very next business day (unless it’s a serious issue) or the day of, if you submit it early enough.
— Very quiet at night
— Nice amenities.
— Friendly staffs.
Cons
— A bit pricey compared to other properties in the downtown Redmond area (but it’s understandable for its «town-​home» feel like property with attached garages.
— The appliances are a bit worn.
I’m moving again, but if i were to live here again. I definitely would.
Tasha (their leasing agent) ROCKS!!!
Everett & Albert (Their maintenance team) ROCK TOO!
Cheers!

The high noise level i experienced in the beginning was mainly because our apartment is right next to the entrance door. So if you are moving into these apartments just be aware of where it is. The management is ok but overall have had good experience living here. Its close to everything, swimming pool is nice in summer, gym is very useful.

I lived at Lionsgate for 3 years. If you like the townhouse style (tall and narrow), this is a great place! Location is awesome (close to bus, library, grocery stores, coffee, restaurants, 520). Pool, hot tub. Great 24 hour fitness center. Office is open 7 days a week. Maintenance is dependable. Management and office staff are great, now that Rob and Tasha are there (wasn’t so good before). Friendly, prompt, reliable!

Terrific apartment experience! The location is fantastic. Staff are friendly and respond to requests in a timely manner. Community is clean and very safe. I was concerned about noise living in downtown Redmond– no issue at all. All in all, a very positive experience!

Though i am not living in the apartment but looking at the reviews I was so interested in having a looking around. I kept pushing my wife to come here. So we went on Wednesday, ⁰⁴⁄₁₆ but leasing office was on lunch, then we left our number and details to schedule an appointment. As expected i got a call and scheduled my appointment at 5pm ⁰⁴⁄₁₉ for saturday. I was excited to visit it but when we reach there at 5pm the guy in leasing office said there was no appointment at 5pm and we are closing. Even when the closing time was 6pm.
This was a unprofessional and very bad experience for me and after all the excitement turned down we are never coming here again.

We lived in a 2 bed/​2 bath townhome style at Lionsgate and while the maintenance and working staff is great, you can tell this is some big corporation that’s looking to suck you dry. We lived there for a year, and while it’s nice, it’s not modern or spectacular. The rent increased almost 700 dollars for the new year lease, which makes absolute no sense if you’re trying to stay in one place for long. I get it’s the market, and what not but that dramatic increase on rent that is already not cheap is ridiculous. Let’s be real, its Redmond not Seattle. For close to 3 grand a month, we might as well move to the city. It’s a great place if you’re looking for short term, but the hassle of moving with a huge price jump like that just feels like bad business.

I’ve been here for a few months now, and so far I really like it here. The property is very well maintained, and the staff and neighbours are very friendly as well. Other than some minor maintenance items when I first moved in, the apartment has been trouble free with all appliances working well. (Appliances are rather new too). The pool is kept at a nice temperature and the community is quiet, although when the weather is nice, there are lot’s of kids playing outside which can be noisy, but I don’t mind that at all :-). I feel the community is very safe, and the location is AWESOME!!!

I was excited about moving into Lions Gate, and the first few months were great, but then a change in management occurred, and since that time it is going down fast. Need a repair? Best to hire someone to come in and get it done, or you will never get it done.
The secured Gates — since the new management, the gates have not all been fixed, one or another have been broken and anyone can walk in. The Maintenance Guy just told me it was easy for them that way.
The new staff — reminds me of bobble head dolls, nodding, nodding and nodding, and do nothing about mean dogs, repairs not getting done, noise issue, etc.
Oh yes, the dishwasher, while they kind of work, just plan on doing your dishes by hand, otherwise you will be eating off dirty plates! Repair request, it has been submitted, several times, with no response at all.
Only plus is the location, that is the tops, and the only reason I did not rate this as one star.
for the amount of $$ they charge, the lack of services, I really made a big mistake.

A great place to live!
Management responds in a timely and courteous manner, and maintenance crews are very friendly and make sure you are happy with your home! If you walk by the maintenance guys, it is likely that they will ask you, in passing, if anything needs attention in your townhome — a great opportunity to have your memory jogged and for you to say, «actually, yeah, there was this one thing I’d like you to look at!»
I take advantage of their small gym room and their jacuzzi, which are both pretty nice and VERY convenient. And of course, the location is THE #1 reason for living here — you can walk to everything you need! Bus stops are soooo close it’s like having door-​to-​door transportation service, and with a bunch of supermarkets and shops at 1 – 2 minutes by foot, how can you get any better???
You’re able to paint the walls and put things up on the walls, provided you switch it back before you move out. It’s easy to make your home feel like YOUR HOME here.
Townhome layouts are really nice, with large windows — good for letting the daylight in. And the community is very quiet — and I live along 160^th Ave NE, so have cars going by all day — I don’t really hear them at all!
I’m a happy resident!

Simply put, the best place my wife and I have ever lived.

We moved here a few months ago and love it! Quiet, safe and within walking distance of anything you could ever need!
