Wellington Place

Any issues I had were addressed in a timely manner. more

Loved living there, good people and if you needed help they would do their best to help you. Even thou I was there for a short time I still miss that cozy apartment I had more

I came to Seattle for work and my company advised me not to look in this area... I am so glad I didn't listen. Wellington Place is located on the outskirts of town near Normandy Park which is a very nice area. Centrally located between Tacoma and Seattle and right near the airport. The place is quiet and the leasing staff is very friendly... Although my favorite lady left (Dee) .... I thought this would be temporary until I found where I wanted to be... little did I know I am right where I want to be... more

I'll start by saying a year ago I would have given a 3-4 star rating. A lot of changes have been made and really none for the better. Personnel changes as of late have done nothing to improve the conditions. Two things that have my attention now are the conditions of the grounds and trash areas. They are always a mess. There are so many Section 8 state subsidized people here that do not care of how they live due to the fact they have NO interest in taking care of what has been provided for them. My other beef is with the lack of maintenance. When something needs to be simply addressed or outright fixed or replaced it takes months of repeated visits to the office to ask. Examples like a simple light bulb to be changed to blinds broken and falling and needing replaced. To end this by saying I'm disappointed would be an understatement. more

I had a terrible experience at WP. I had problems with other tenants, management, and my apartment. I lived there for 15 months with an oven that never worked properly, a refrigerator that spoiled my food, and a toilet that didn't work for almost a week. They get you in and then don't take care of basic living issues. There is garbage everywhere, domestic violence, dog crap issues. I couldn't wait to move out. more

There has been a few issues with maintenance either not showing up, showing up at the wrong time or with the wrong equipment. There needs to be better communication between the staff the renter and maintenance as to what is needed and when it will be done. Also promises such as the buildings will be repainted after pressure washing (already done) has not happened. It is making the outside of the apartments look run down and not cared for. I keep having to explain to guests that it really is a decent place to live more

When I initially looked for an apartment, I never thought that Burien would have any peaceful apartment complex, so I kept looking for further areas, such as Kent, Renton, Bellevue, and Newcastle. Then, I got recommended by a relative about this place and immediately checked it out. I have to admit... The corner units are the nicest properties because I enjoy the fact that there is a window in every single room. There is a sliding door in the living room; there is a window in the dining room (for goodness sake); there is a window in the bathroom!!!; of course, there is a window in the bedroom. When I need maintenance, the technician appears very quickly and professional. The reason why I gave this place a 4 star instead of 5 is because I have a hard time dealing with the puddle of water next to the dumpster in the A complex. This has been causing the carpet in my apartment unit to be quite dirty due to the mud stuck to the bottom of the shoes. I talked to the property management, and I certainly got the memo that "they are still working on fixing the issue." Overall, it isn't a great community to live. more

We got lied to when we were negotiating moving in. Office was never open when the sign said it would be and you could never get ahold of the staff by phone. more

Garbage cans overflow every weekend. During the summer there are rats on my back porch, the entry way has water standing when it rains making it unsafe to walk on. more

Staffing is always short. Garbage is a huge problem more

I really like living at Wellington Pl apts. They r quick to make repairs, neighbors are quiet and no problems with management. Would have given it 5 stars but waiting for new appliances. more

I have never lived here, but when applying I experienced some shady business practices....small lies to keep you interested, but nothing that will directly scare you off. They lure you in with great deals which you then end up paying for with an "increased deposit"...even if you are over qualified by their own standards. If they are willing to use shady tactics and extremely high deposits with qualified, prospective tenants, what tactics are they willing to employ when you decide to move out? Even if you like this place (as I did), please beware of the lies and deceptive tactics of the management. We pride ourselves on honesty and integrity...the managment of Wellington Place does not seem to value these qualities. Their tactics are deceptive, but unfortunately...legal. Please be careful with any apartment place you get a funny vibe from. I wish I would have trusted my instincts at the beginning when the lies started. I hope this review helps in your search for a place to call home. =) more
