- “I’ll give it a five star for location and the overall community here The people in the staffing office are nice as well so that helps The only thing that I will have to look into is like Privacy Is not really available here the walls are very thin So if you like to have privacy It’s not really for you.. So just wanted to make sure I give a heads up to anyone But other than that, I love it here no matter how noisy it is..”

University District
What it’s like to live in University District
Academic energy pulses through University District, where purple-clad UW students fill cafes along The Ave (University Way). Renters enjoy exceptional public transit and late-night eateries catering to study sessions. Period-appropriate Craftsman homes share blocks with modern apartments featuring rooftop decks. Though student population creates seasonal turnover and weekend noise, the proximity to campus events and Ravenna Park's wooded trails creates an appealing balance of urban energy and natural retreats.

Renter Satisfaction
Apartment List has released Seattle’s results from the third annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. This survey, which drew on responses from over 45,000 renters nationwide, provides insight on what states and cities must do to meet the needs of the country’s 111 million renters.
"Seattle renters expressed general satisfaction with the city overall," according to Apartment List. "With expensive rents in coastal tech hubs, it comes as no surprise that cost of living is a source of dissatisfaction in Seattle."
