708 Uptown Apartments

I have lived her for over six months. I wanted to let people know that it is fantastic. The front office crew (Laura and Danny) are great. As well as maintenance. The residents are friendly. Rooftop deck has incredible views around the sound. Can’t wait until the fourth of July. I would recommend this place to all friends. Keep up the excellent work.

I’ve been living here since April 2016 and I’m extremely happy with my apartment. I understand they may have had problems in the past but not anymore. The building is immaculate! Alex is very responsive and does an amazing job with the maintenance. The office staff (Laura, Danny and Sean) are wonderful and friendly. It has outstanding security. In my old apt, people were getting in and going through delivered packages. Here it’s in a secured area. I love my apt. A lot of apts cut corners but this one doesn’t and I don’t hear my neighbors at all. Also, my apt is face 99 and the windows are so well insulated that I barely hear street noise. My only complaint is that the parking spaces are very small which is difficult for me.

After viewing over 20 apartments around the city I finally found the one that was perfect for me. After two months living here, I still look out the window and think to myself: «I love my apartment!».
The location is great, being a short walk away from Westlake, downtown and Seattle Center and with a 24h QFC and a Zipcar spot just around the corner.
It is also pretty quiet (especially if you get an apartment facing Queen Anne) and the neighbors are very pleasant. The apartments are also quite new, with almost no damage (the maximum that I found were minor scratches).
After reading some of the older Unilocal reviews and the comments about the management team, I was a bit taken aback. However, the new management that was in place since the time that I rented (Apr 2016) has been amazing. They are extremely helpful and have responded immediately to any requests that I had, even aticipating some of my needs and offering to help before I could even ask.
I would definitely recommend this apartment and the staff that runs it.

Went and toured on a Saturday and was ready to apply and put down money to hold the apartment then but was told to wait until the manager was in and come back on Monday and with my application and financial information. Monday I get a call from from the leasing agent saying the apartment had been rented. When I called back saying I came in on Saturday and was ready to apply then, I was told the other applicant was there first. When I called back to speak with the manager DJ, he told me how it works is first come, first serve. Ummm, I was ready to apply and pay two days ago!!! Did the term first come, first serve change??? When I told this to the manager he turned to insult me and call me a child and «sorry if you don’t understand how first come, first serve works».

DON’T FREAKING LIVE HERE OKAY?
These guys are owned by Greystar so to them it’s just another complex in hundreds of other complexes. These guys don’t give a fuck about you and just want to reap as much money off of you as possible.
–Parking is EXPENSIVE, small, and awkward to navigate into your spot no matter where your spot is in the ground parking lot.
–Hot water was on/​off for almost 3 months. They kept doing quick, cheap fixes and it broke over and over.
–Most repairs go unaddressed until it actually becomes a legal issue not to fix it.
–Rent increases are abhorrent and utility costs fluctuate every season.
–Management has changed 3 times in a year; even the management realizes how focked up it is to work here.
–The gym smells TERRIBLE, this place opened early 2013 and somehow the gym still stinks of new building odors. There’s probably no ventilation in there and the walls are coated in human sweat and lead and harmful fumes.
–Don’t even think about moving out early; you need to be prepared to give up a month of rent if you hope to get out.
–Your apartment will be small as hell and the layout is ridiculous/​retarded.
DON’T get fooled by the nice looks and company name, it is a shitty place. They screw you over at any turn they can.

I’d give 4.5 stars if I could. We picked this apartment blindly (relying on reviews and photos) for our move from Texas in Jan. 2015. I was nervous after reading some Unilocal reviews, especially those implying that management had bribed people to give five star reviews. But after being here more than three months, I’m happy to report I’ve had a great experience.
DJ, the apartment manager, had just taken over when we were moving and was very responsive and helpful. Thankfully, we haven’t really had any reason to interact with him since because we haven’t had issues.
If you’re new to Seattle, this is a prime place to be. There are tons of restaurants easy walking distance in Queen Anne, SLU and Belltown, and it’s a quick bus ride or drive to Fremont or Ballard. I work downtown and have a 20 min bus ride, or 35 min walk on nice days. And having the QFC about two blocks away has completely spoiled me! I love being able to grab something for dinner on the way home from work.
My only complaint is in the urban one bedroom layout, the bedroom is next to the hall, and we hear the elevator door ding as people go in and out late at night and early in the morning. The neighbors are generally respectful, but on occasion this has been pretty annoying. Otherwise, we have never heard upstairs or our side neighbors which is pretty impressive.
Also, there are tons of dogs in the apartment which I love, and it’s a really pet friendly place. Again, you only hear other dogs while walking through the hallways. Never an issue through the walls (in our case, anyway).
No apartment is perfect, but this one is one of the better places I’ve lived. I’d recommend it!

Don’t rent from this place. I concur with all the one star reviews. I’m done with this nasty place.
It has been two months since I have moved out. After numerous emails to the manager I still have not received my deposit refund. Claims it is out of his hands and would follow up with their Texas office and get back to me, he never did.
Seriously, save yourself the nightmare of living and dealing with this place that is run by a national chain and cares nothing about the well being of their renters.

First and foremost, this review is from November 2013 to January 2014. I am a pretty tolerant person but the situation that not only myself but other residents were put into here was not good or easy to deal with.
When I first was looking to move to Seattle back in April of 2013, I had to do all my research and viewing via the web. A lot of apartments in Seattle did not take to this well, however, the leasing manager at the time, Sherry, was fantastic, easy to deal with, always replied to me and went above and beyond her duties to assist me. Sarah also worked in the office and was the same as Sherry. They were a great team and set the bar high for future managers.
However, once the majority of the building was leased, Sherry and Sarah both left to tend to other properties. The new manager, Michelle then came into play and everything changed. I happened to be in one of the units that did not have a proper heating unit and my apartment was well below legal city limits for winter, even though I was blasting my heat above 80 all day every day.
I tried to address this issue with the management team, but sadly I was not replied to for a few days and told «good luck and stay warm» for over the weekend. This is an issue that needed to resolved right away, since it was an uninhabitable place.
Eventually, I was able to break my lease and not pay any early move out fee since they had broken their agreement. I am not sure how the building is doing now or who is managing it, but, until I got the parent company involved there was no action.

Awesome building, great value. Great spot to live if you work at Amazon or Microsoft. Easy to walk to work.

I wish zero stars were available. With all of the options in Seattle for apartment buildings I would recommend looking anywhere and everywhere else. Apartment was shoddily built, walls are PAPER THIN and the clientele they rent to is the first year out of college still partying 6 nights a week crowd. You will have nothing but problems with the building and management if you move in here.

This review has been a long time coming. I have lived here for approximately one year and four months. Throughout my time here I have had several different experiences, both good and bad. I will address as much as I can with the limited space I’m allotted. Some comments are based on other reviews, I hope this does not confuse anyone.
Parking: It’s a bitch. Period. However, living in Seattle, that’s not exactly an anomaly. This is the norm in Seattle, tiny parking lots and two-​way streets that only have enough room for one car. When reserved parking became available, we jumped at the opportunity for a reserved spot. We have been happy with parking ever since. We have, however, recently found cars parked in our spot. We were peeved when this occurred and immediately reported the issue to the current apartment manager (Sandra). She acted swiftly and towing signs have now been put up in response. From my prospective, there is not much that the apartment management can do-​this completely falls on my fellow tenants who want to be, ahem, ass-​holes, and park in reserved spots. I am hoping the management team moves to assigned parking spots for everyone so that people parking in «reserved» spots will be mitigated and eventually non-​existent.
Location/​Traffic: I am a walker. I LOVE walking around the Queen Anne, SLU, and downtown areas. The location of this apartment complex is perfectly located to support access to these locations-​and more, if you’re up to it! Recently construction (and two-​way traffic) has moved onto Mercer, close enough for people to look for back roads to avoid the traffic. But, again, traffic is something, like tightly packed parking lots, that comes with the territory. It’s no secret that Seattle is terrible come rush hour (or any other random hour-we’ve come to find). To lessen the headaches, I subscribed to the Mercer Corridor Project mailing list. I’m notified of closings before they happen so that I can plan around it. But if you’re walking (which I do whenever I can) then you don’t really have to worry about traffic!
Pets: I actually don’t have a pet, but this is a pet-​friendly community. This section is more so to address the comments about pet waste around the property. I love dogs! I enjoy meeting all of the different dogs in this complex. However, I get so disgusted when owners allow their pets to use the bathroom in random places throughout the property. It is NOT, nor should it be, the responsibility of management to CLEAN UP after a tenant’s pet (even though they do, whenever a lazy tenant does not clean it up)! If someone has this expectation, they are foolish and we will, unfortunately, continue to see pet waste. If you’re renting a house and your pet uses the bathroom on the front porch, you’re not going to call the landlord to clean it up. I think people should be fined. I understand animals have accidents, but that’s no excuse to leave droppings or urine around.
Management: When I came to view Stream, Sherry was the apartment manager. She was great! She made the move smooth and enjoyable. I don’t exactly recall when the next manager came in. I was fortunate enough to not need too much during her time here. She wasn’t a terrible person or anything, and she did respond quickly when the igniter to the grill was out, but she did not seem approachable. After she left, there were temps left and right. When my lease was up, I had a difficult time finding someone to renew it. It didn’t bother me much since I knew I wanted to live here for another year. But I can certainly see how this can be disconcerting to those less patient. In June we were fortunate enough to be introduced to Sandra, the current apartment manager! She introduced herself via email and began cleaning up the place (both literally and figuratively). Her attitude and work ethic is reminiscent of Sherry, and then some! I took advantage of her introduction and voiced some issues that I was concerned about. She addressed them immediately! She is such a sweetheart and I really hope she sticks around :)
Overall, I love living here. Sometimes the actions of other tenants make me want to move, but I guess you can’t have it all. The apartments themselves are awesome with great soundproofing (my unit is right next to 99). I have air conditioning too, which has really come in handy for this hot summer (but apparently some apartments don’t have them-​so make sure you ask)! The rent and size of these apartments are in the minority, meaning you won’t see many deals like this around Seattle. In fact, there are apartment complexes that offer the same rent for smaller, older apartments. Aside from rude tenants (I hope they move ASAP), I really enjoy living at Stream Uptown. Yes, I am a real tenant and I was not offered a bribe for this review. I hope my experiences here have been well explained and are helpful to you. Stream Uptown is not for everyone, just like any one thing is not for everyone (not even chocolate :(). Peace

I recently relocated here to Seattle with my boyfriend and our dog. We had done a ton of research on potential places to move to and toured a lot of different buildings around the area and we landed on Stream Uptown. I have to say, after being here for just over a month, we’ve really come to call this place ‘home’.
When we first came to tour the building, the manager (Sandra) was really friendly and genuine. She sat down with us at first to get to know us and then showed us what she thought would be best for our situation. We fell in love with the 1 bedroom+ den option, but we had a couple more buildings to look at before finally deciding. Before we left to continue on our house hunt, Sandra was honest and told us to do what was best for us. When we left to see the other places, we just kept thinking about Stream Uptown, and so we came back at the end of the day and signed the lease!
Sandra helped us through the whole process and we were even offered a 1 month free of rent (score!)! Also, having a larger dog, we knew it would be a challenge to find a place that would rent with us and him, but Sandra was totally understanding!
Since then, we’ve really gotten to love the spot. We’re super close to my boyfriend’s work (Amazon) and he walks less than 15 minutes to work everyday. QFC is right around the corner which is great, but a little more expensive than we like. There are great little eateries nearby as well: Citizen, NY Pizza (bottomless mimosas on the weekend!), Nabob, Loredos, and even more by Queen Anne Ave!
Moving to a new city can be a challenge, especially not really knowing anyone, but I’ve been fortunate enough to meet some really nice residents here. I think that the vibe in the past may have been a little less friendly, but every day when I take out the pup, I always have someone to say hello to or to chat with for a little bit about recommendations about the city! Just recently, Sandra hosted a doggie social for humans and pets up on our gorgeous roof top and it went off with a bang! I read in another post that they thought this was a bad idea, but it was the exact opposite! It all depends on the dog and the owner and everyone that was up at the event had a good sense of their pet and if things got too much, they would bring their pet home. It was so nice to meet people that didn’t even have a dog!
I totally recommend Stream Uptown to anyone who is thinking about moving. Traffic can be a bit nuts around the area, but it’s such a walkable neighbourhood that it doesn’t really both me too much. Also, it’s a big city — you’ve got to expect that living in the mix of it! As for the price, living in Seattle is expensive. This place is comparable to a lot of other buildings in this neighbourhood so you kind of have to just deal with that, but you are paying for quality! Oh — if you’re looking for parking, it’s pretty expensive, but there are options: 1. Suck it up and pay for reserved parking 2. Don’t pay for reserved parking and just park in a spot that fits your car. So, if you’ve got a huge pick up, don’t park in a compact spot! Duh! Or 3. Get some exercise and park on the street. It’s free and you feel good about walking the extra block or so!
Make sure you read the newer reviews of this place and always ask for Sandra to tour you around. Her infectiously bubbly personality will make you happy you chose this building!

So I’ve lived in three different apartment complexes in Seattle and I cannot tell you how happy I am with this place.
I was really skiddish with the outdated reviews that tore this place apart but I took a leap of faith due to new management (Sandra) and it was the best decision. I wish I would have moved here 2 years ago! Anything I need done, big or small, gets taken care of and the place is REALLY nice.
The old reviews are just that, old. Its unfortunate the old management did a crappy job but it’s very clear they have fixed that issue.

Save yourself the headache and don’t rent from Stream Uptown. They don’t value their tenants at all. The level of customer service is despicable and most of the time management is non-​existent. I had to ask for my own renewal and then they wouldn’t work with me, but instead increased my rent while giving new renters concessions for a free month. They are having to provide concessions because so many people have moved out, yet they have no desire for retention of current tenants. My best friend lived here as well and has had even worse experiences than I. She recently moved out because it was so intolerable. She followed up to receive her deposit after she moved out and while it’s been a month and a half, she still hasn’t received it, along with an extra month rent they accidentally charged. And no one has gotten back to her. For the amount of money it costs to live here each month, I would expect a higher level of customer support and professionalism. Anyone considering renting from Stream Uptown should be made aware that it is not worth your money and you will be disappointed.

I hate having to write bad reviews but when it is needed I do as it important to advise other consumers or in this case renters what they are in for.
I have been in my share of rentals before and never had so many issues including issues with deposit refund!
We lived at stream uptown for for just under a year and while it was a pretty quiet location and convenient for shopping we did have some issues.
Being the first year I understand the need for certain inspections to handle issues covered under warranty and such but rather then schedule all the inspections for the same time frame they instead did it in 3 sessions meaning that renters had to be inconvenienced 3 times rather then had they broke it up and does it all at the same time.
The apartment we had was never warm at all. It would take all day long to heat and left us to use dress in layers and blankets. Never used the bedroom as the main door had so much heat loss around the edges that the bedroom was freezing most the winter and no heater in the bedroom area. Closest was in the kitchen and it barely out out much heat leaving most the heating to be handled in the living room area.
No lights at all in the bedroom unless you have a table or floor lamp.
And the worst part we gave out 20 day required noticed and moved out on schedule making sure management was aware of the progress as it took me a few days. And the contract and Wa. state law requires the deposit to be mailed within 14 days of move out. If money is withheld they are also required by law and contract to give an itemized list of what was withheld and why. It took them 32 days to cut the check another 3 days to put it in the mail and was 38 days before it got to us and it did not have any sort of itemized list as required.
On top of that the contract we signed at least said they would only charge for a cleaning IF it was dirty and we left it in better condition then we got it in as my wife cleaned everything even she cleaned out the oven which she never used once even. Fridge was totally cleaned out and the unit was left spotless but they charged a cleaning fee even though the contract and law says they can only charge it if it is left dirty or if it is in the contract and it wasn’t just the standard cleaning clause which did not apply.
The refund they sent was short but over $ 200. They also never sent out a final Water/​Sewer/​Trash bill so you never know what the final bill really totals so you have no way of knowing if they have taken out the proper amount for the final bill.
Over all I would avoid this place like the plague as they do not seem to want to comply with state law and contract being how they handled our refund. And based on other reviewers I see we are not alone in feeling negatively about Stream Uptown and Greystar!

I’m not an avid reviewer but I truly feel prospective tenants need to know what they are getting in to before moving into Stream Uptown.
When I first moved in (Feb 2013) the leasing manager Sherry was amazing! Willing to do anything and went above and beyond. However, I think all the complaints from residents about ongoing issues with the building wore her down and she moved on. (this is speculation of course)… The new management is completely unresponsive, you can send email after email and they go unanswered. I try my best to talk with the new manager in person when she is available, while she is really nice, she is just as unresponsive.
I understand that a new building will have it’s issues but this place is unreal. I have experienced more power and water outages, fire alarms and street closures than all the places I’ve lived in the past, combined. What’s most frustrating is there is next no advanced noticed.
I honestly wouldn’t have written a review about the petty things I mention above had today not happened. I got home after work on a Friday and my entire unit smells like the toxic sealant they are installing in the trash room (I live directly above the trash room). I immediately went to speak with the manager to express my concerns about having to deal with the smell and was told that they would be spending 3 days putting new sealant down. The manager told me she had to deal with the smell in the office all day but did not offer an apology nor acknowledge the fact that there was zero notice. She told me I could open my doors and she would be willing to get a me a fan for my unit as a solution. It’s 40 degrees in January… While I am definitely disappointed by the lack of logical solutions, I’m more upset that I was given no notice to at least allow me to plan accordingly.
The convenience to the grocery store is great but that is honestly about the only positive review I have for this place. I will happily take my money elsewhere when my lease is up.

I always have a difficult time when posting negative reviews. I never like to do it and I always like to give companies the benefit of the doubt, however I would feel bad if anyone signed a lease at this building without knowing what they are getting into.
The first 7 months that I lived in the building were absolutely wonderful. I loved the managers Sherry and Sarah. They were responsive when I reached out to them, and they both were willing to go above and beyond to make living at Stream Uptown a true joy. For the first few months living here I was sold that I would stay at this property for years, I had never enjoyed a community more.
Unfortunately all good things must come to an end. Sherry and Sarah both moved on to other properties within Greystar. Greystar is truly lucky to have employees as dedicated and skilled as them. After they left we got a new property manager named Michelle.
Shortly after Michelle came on board I began having issues with the heaters not working properly in my apartment. I would have the single heater in the apartment turned up to 85 all day but due to the winter weather the temperature in my apartment did not rise above 50 degrees. I contacted Michelle about it, and they installed something on my door so air couldn’t blow through it anymore. I followed up with Michelle stating that I was blasting my heat at 80 + degrees and it was still registering below 50 degrees. (I don’t know how cold it actually was because my thermometer didn’t go any lower than 50). Michelle informed me that it was a design flaw in the building. Even though Michelle told me the new heaters would be there that Monday, they weren’t. Tried to follow up with her that day but didn’t receive a call back after my voicemails or a response to my emails. The next day she emailed me saying sorry that she was out and that the heaters would be installed on Wednesday. At that point I had not been staying at my apartment because I had gotten sick from staying in the cold, and was worried that I would get even more sick. Since she said they would be installed Wednesday, I went to my apartment on Thursday only to find out that the new heaters were still not installed. I emailed Michelle again and received no response. Still not hearing from her I emailed her again the next day. No response. Emailed her yet again on Monday and FINALLY heard back. She claimed she had called and left a voicemail on my phone on Friday. I had never received a voicemail or a missed call, and I was not having any issues with my phone. I figure she lied to cover her lack of response and urgency to my serious issue. One note, the city of Seattle mandates by law that all residences be outfitted so that they are at a livable temperature.
Title 22 — BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION CODES
Subtitle II — Housing Code
Chapter 22.206 — HABITABLE BUILDINGS
SubChapter VI — Duties of Owners and Tenants
22.206.160 Duties of owners Maintain heat in all occupied habitable rooms, baths and toilet rooms at an inside temperature, as measured at a point 3 feet above the floor and 2 feet from exterior walls, of at least 68 degrees Fahrenheit between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. and 58 degrees Fahrenheit between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. from September 1 st until June 30 th, when the owner is contractually obligated to provide heat.
I currently pay ~1,500 a month in rent and parking — no small sum of money for anyone. I thought it only reasonable that at a minimum I would be reimburse for the days in which my apartment was deemed legally unlivable by Seattle. I requested this and was told that nothing would be done to reimburse my rent. I said that I would then be moving out and asked if they would waive the move out fee, same response… you owe us that money too. I am being forced to pay money to leave an apartment building which is legally uninhabitable.
Finally, out of options and not being able to live in my apartment for weeks I gave her my 20 day notice to move out. Seems like I will most likely be contacting a lawyer to deal with that process since she is still extremely unresponsive. Looking back at my email chain with her over the last few weeks I counted and I had sent her over 15 emails and received only 4 responses from her (Most of them not answering the questions that I had asked in my previous emails). All with multiple days between them, and only after I had sent her multiple emails did she choose to respond. Her lack of communication and professionalism while dealing with my issue was incredibly frustrating and disappointing.
I have spoken with other tenants at this building and many are having the same troubles with Michelle that I have been having, and will also be either terminating their leases early or moving out at the end of their leases because of her.

I have never lived in Stream Uptown. This review is based on my experience trying to lease an apartment here from the east coast in April. I put a deposit of $ 400 even before my friend could see the place for me because of the wrong information provided by an employee. Needless to say my friend saw the apartment complex and my window was facing a dumpster and there is an auto repair shop right next to the building so I changed my mind. They had to refund me the $ 400 which they agreed to since they misled me with the wrong information.
It’s October and I am still waiting on the refund. I have called and emailed the manager «Sherry» countless times. Every time I talk to her she assures me she will update me right away on the situation but I have never heard back from her. The situation if frustrating beyond words. How hard is it to issue a $ 400 refund when its your fault? If I was in the wrong, they would’ve fined me an exorbitant amount by now.
The apartment complex may be nice but obviously the management sucks. I can wait for the check but the least you can do is reply to an email. Judging from the other reviews their customer service only starts if you live there. I plan to use the Washington public attorney service to resolve this issue. Never again will I ever look into a Greystar management complex. I hope Unilocal doesn’t filter this review.

We moved into Stream Uptown in June 2013. Being first time apartment renters, we were extremely please with the lack of noise from our neighbors (we are on the first floor). The rooftop area is beautiful and well maintained.
The staff gets an A+ from us! Anything that needs maintenance is tended to in a matter of a couple days. We had an issue with our dog not coming out from hiding before we left for work one day. I called the management and asked if it was at all possible to go in and check on him. She quickly went to our unit, the dog came out from under the bed and she tucked him in his crate! Amazing!
We absolutely love it here!

I moved into Stream Uptown at the end of April 2013. I was leaving my old apartment for a number of «standard» reasons (price, amenities, etc), but surprising even to me, the way the building was managed was also a big reason that I wanted to move.
I found Stream Uptown by a random search and was given a tour by the extremely friendly and helpful Sarah, eager to answer any questions I had. Needless to say, the reasonable pricing and amenities helped make my decision to move, but how Sarah (and the community manager, Sherry) worked hard to make me feel valued and not just another person occupying space in the building sealed the deal.
Living here for a few weeks was great, with no complaints. It’s a brand new building, so I was the first one to live in my unit. I loved the easily accessible gym, the soundproof walls and windows (The windows’ ability to block the sound of Aurora is nothing short of incredible), the unique floorplan, and the fantastic rooftop view. When my fingers clicked «Add to Cart» a few too many times, Sherry was always waiting in the office with my packages when I got home from work, not annoyed in the slightest that my boxes had overtaken half of her office. She would even offer to dolly the packages up to my apartment if I didn’t want to make multiple trips. I was pretty happy with my choice to move at this point. I was saving money every month, and I was happier with my unit, the building itself, and the office staff.
I noticed a few weeks after moving that the AC unit in my apartment didn’t work. Not a problem, I thought, I’ll let Sherry know, and she’ll take care of it for me. Sherry had someone in my apartment looking at it the next day, but they were unable to fix it. Sherry coordinated another maintenance visit later that week for a follow-​up. Unfortunately, with replacing one part at a time, there have been a few visits with no success. While I’m not thrilled that my AC wasn’t working after two weeks, it at least made me aware of one thing: Sherry is the greatest apartment manager in the history of apartment managers.
She was calling the installer, electricians, and the manufacturer every day for me, giving me daily updates through email. She even had all three in my apartment at the same time, to make sure nobody could pass the buck and tell her to call someone else. She’d fill me in on more details if she caught me leaving in the morning or coming home in the evening. She’s taken ownership of my problem and showed that she’s legitimately upset that it’s still not fixed. The only effort that I had to put into fixing this was letting her know once, and she’s put in hours and hours of work on getting this taken care of. My problem has become her problem, not an annoyance that’s just «another thing she has to do.» This is what I was missing at my last apartment and what I’ll surely miss whenever I end up moving out.
I’m someone who typically moves every year or two just because I want a change of scenery. Unless my job takes me out of Seattle or I end up buying a condo, I can’t see myself finding any reason to move away from Stream Uptown, and a big reason for that is having a community manager that cares about her community. We’d all love it if nothing broke in our homes, but the sad truth is that that’s not possible. What matters is how it gets handled when something DOES go wrong, and Sherry has shown the best customer service I’ve ever received at the place it matters most: my home.
Does Sherry deserve a promotion? Absolutely, hands down, no question about it.
Do I hope she gets one? Definitely not, because I’m a selfish prick and I don’t want to deal with someone else coming in who doesn’t care whether I’m happy living here or not.
