We have been living here for 1 1/2 going into our second year It has been a great experience. We did have some issues recently that in our opinion Arista could have reacted faster. At the end they did. Thank you Trey and the rest of the Arista Team. Thank you

I recently moved out of this apartment complex and had a fantastic experience throughout my stay. It's truly a gem of a place to live, offering a modern design that's both clean and visually appealing. One of the highlights is its proximity to the University village, making shopping a breeze. Additionally, the convenience of a bus stop just a minute away made commuting to the University of Washington Campus effortless, especially on sunny days when walking was a pleasure. The flexibility of the lease, allowing for just 7 months in my case, was a rarity and greatly appreciated. Whenever I needed support, the response was quick and efficient. The amenities here are top-notch, with a great library, club room, and terrace on the 7th floor, while the 8th-floor rooftop garden is simply spectacular. What's more, it's incredibly dog-friendly, with a dedicated playing area for dogs on the rooftop and always stocked dog snacks in the lobby. Overall, my time here was nothing short of excellent, and I highly recommend this apartment complex to anyone seeking a comfortable, convenient, and pet-friendly living space.

The building appeared nice when I toured and I appreciate the amenities/location but employees here are a bit deceptive. They specifically mentioned having AC/heat in the unit as a major plus. Additionally, the leasing staff told me that even though the parking garage was full, I should have a spot around the time I was scheduled to move in. Fast forward to when I move into the unit, I discovered that the mini split unit is completely dead so that means no heat or cooling in the unit. I requested maintenance to come to a look and they came by several times, each request taking at least 2-3 days. Finally, on the last visit, they told me that they would have to replace the whole unit which could take up to 6 weeks. I'm already about a month into the lease and all they've provided me is a super tiny space heater which is laughable as the ceilings on the top floor are super high. Communication by the leasing staff/management team has been absolute garbage. The manager initially promised to keep me updated but has not returned a single one of my calls or given me a single update as to when it will be fixed. It's pretty clear they did no inspection of the unit whatsoever before I moved in. As for parking, be prepared to pay a fortune, a "medium" sized spot is $325/month but it looks the same size as the other ones marked as compact. It took me almost 3 weeks after moving in to get a spot. I don't have a large car but I'm unable to open the door on one side since the spots are so narrow (probably just 6 inches away from the other car on one side and a huge concrete pole on the other). As others mentioned, there's construction going on just north of this building which I don't find to be a super big concern compared to the other issues above. I was hoping to have a better experience moving into Arista but what's been going on is pretty unacceptable especially for the price they're charging for all the units.
