Pratt Park Apartments

My girlfriend and I moved to Seattle about six months ago and quickly moved into the Legacy at Pratt Park. Our transition has been made easy because of the help we get from the management team at our building. They really go above and beyond to make people happy here and to make sure everything is running smoothly. We are very happy with our choice to live here and don't plan on going anywhere. more

I was astounded to read the recent reviews of Legacy at Pratt Park. I have lived here a year and recently renewed my lease because it is such an awesome place to live. The apartments are spacious and well-planned - including walk-in closets that one doesn't usually see in studio apartments, the on-site amenities are great - including the best gym I have ever seen in an apartment complex and the management staff is terrific. We don't always agree about things, but they listen and they are problem solvers. I can't ask for anything more! Do yourself a favor and check out this great apartment community. more

I think the reviews listed on here before mine are obviously one-sided. I think that the management here has done a good job of providing a welcoming place to come home to, considering the challenging neighborhood. Usually, if you are nice to people, they will be nice right back. Whenever I have a request or a concern that needs to be addressed, it is taken care of almost immediately. Why? I sincerely think that it's because I'm NICE. I treat people with respect and get respect in return. Bad reviewers on here seem to be bitchily demanding good service. I deal with customers on a daily basis and to tell you the God-honest truth, if people are rude to me, you bet they're not getting good customer service from me. I think the new and old staff here are equally great. I was one of the first people to move in and I gladly just renewed my lease because of the great level of customer service I receive. I only rate this four stars instead of five because of irresponsible dog owners who don't pick up ... other than that, no complaints. more

This apartment community offers many amenities for city living and it's great at first glance. This apartment community also caters to many college age and young fresh professionals. So on the weekend, it's like a dormitory and the noise is ridiculous. For community living, this community is soooo disrespectful of each other. Parties mid-week, parties on the weekend, and careless neighbors coming in at 2&3am after boozing it up. What's ironic, is with the secure building you'll pay rent for (gated entrance, resident controlled entrance, and hall cams), residents let strangers in the main entrance all the time. Being located in Seattle's Central District, wouldn't you want peace of mind? The other irony? Police patrol this site every night. Something is fishy about this scene. Having lived here less than a year, I know of 2 breakins. Also, most dog owners suck here. While enjoying the roof top deck, dog owners let their pets loose all the time. They can get careless about poo in the grass outside, and poo in the halls. For those dog owners who are really careful, it sucks that the bad ones give them a bad rap. You'll also hear about all the amentities here, but good luck if you get to use them. For example, I've requested, on several occasions to get a pea patch up on the roof. But no one ever follows up with me, and I gave up about being on the waiting list. Another thing you might experience is trying to rent the club house. They only take reservations 1 month in advance, and it's pretty competitive for the same group of people using it....leaving the first timers SOL. Finally, the management here is unprofessional. They're great sales agents and are warm. But when I've asked for a new parking space, no followup. When I requested a storage space a few mos. after move-in, I got two different rates. All these things do nothing to bring about my interest in renewing my lease. Frankly, it's too expensive for what you have to put up with. You're better off at Harbor Steps. more

I signed a 12 month lease with this building, with one of the selling points that this is a "non-smoking" building. The apartments get very stuffy due to the fact that there is no cross-breeze due to the building design. When you open your doors/windows, every ten minutes you have to shut them because neighbors are chain-smoking out on their balconies. By the time you shut your doors, your living room already smells like an ashtray. Management has not been very responsive to complaints, and even after multiple warnings the tenants continue to just smoke away. I'll update this review if things change...In the meantime, unless you want to deal with second-hand smoke everyday, don't move in here!! more

first off, they are not responsive to your questions or if you need help once they got your money. they could care less if you leave voice messages or send emails for days. but the main frustration with this property started when they failed to let me know my dog is on the restricted breed list. after 2 weeks of living there they told me that I violated my lease and had to move out. this is despite the fact that i clearly disclosed the breed both on my application and on the pet agreement. it took me a while to negotiate a reasonable solution to the issue. thankfully, I have a lawyer friend that walked me through the process. the apartments themselves are ok but the people that work there are something else. more
