Bell View Apartments

May 8th, 2024

I came to look at a 2 bedroom apartment. I scheduled a tour and the person never showed up - they stated they were doing a virtual tour which wasn't professional as I already booked a time. Parking in the area is pretty nonexistent. The apartments are down a narrow 1 way street. Even if you decide to pay $395/month for the garage, all spots are compact so you won't have much room. The apartments do not have windows that open so you're forced to rely on the in unit fan/AC unit. During my visit, even though the AC was "on", there wasn't really any cold air. The unit I toured also had a dryer missing. Overall, management was not professional and there were not many good things to balance out the bad things.

Profit over people, plain and simple. First, look at ALL of the vacancies coming up. There is a reason for that. No one stays here. Second, even though there are many empty apartments, they want to show my apartment while in the middle of packing and preparing to move. How thoughtful. They will make moving more complicated and difficult than it already is. They will make life more difficult than it already is in the following ways: 1. If you want to live in a building where they are constantly entering your living space for inspections and maintenance, live here. They even came in for a "pre-move out inspection" where they take pictures of all of your things. They say it's "just" policy so they can get the apartment ready for the next occupants. So, essentially, they prioritize future tenants over current tenant's right to privacy. Never, in all my time of renting, has a property management company entered my living space so many times. 2.Since the windows don't open you have to completely rely on the air conditioner to regulate the temperature, but it's unreliable and breaks and then you're stuck without being able to regulate the temperature of your space because the windows don't open. 3.If you want to have to dry your clothes 2+ times with a normal size load, move here. Oh yes and they will tell you that it's normal for this much better type of dryer. 4. You have to wait for cold water to come out of the tap. It's cold for a split second then warm for like 30 seconds. This may sound small, but wait until you get the water bill. My biggest complaint is that they enter private living spaces so often and they don't care how it affects you, they just say, well we are abiding by the advance notification to enter law. OTHER apartments do not do this. This is WEIRD behavior. If you don't want privacy, move here.

Great leasing experience with Anastasia, she was very proactive and helpful throughout the entire process. The unit was also very clean upon move-in and the building is modern with nice amenities and in a great location in Capitol Hill. Would highly recommend!

Probably the best property management team I have worked with! Anastasia made the entire process extremely easy and took all of my concerns into consideration. Plus, the building is beautiful, and the view is even better! It's within walking distance of everything: 18 minutes to 24-hour fitness, and 13-15 minutes to bars, restaurants, and coffee shops.
