City Center at Lynnwood

If you’re thinking about applying to live here; listen to me and apply literally anywhere else. Never in my life have I interacted with a more unprofessional organization than the people who work at City Center Lynnwood. They will lie to your face to get you out of their office – having told us multiple times that they had a waitlist then revealing several months later that this wasn’t true to begin with. Withholding critical information about how to apply to available units leading to further loss of equal opportunity. They have the organization to hold pointless community events yet can’t even give all of the pertinent information to people seeking housing, the basic of their job requirements. I have never seen a group of people so committed to doing their job poorly and disrespecting all residents.

I use flex app. It wasn't working so I paid my rent. Magically it got fixed and flex charged me on top of my rent. Some things I understand you can't control. But really I get charged close $2000? when I suppose to be charged $750 for first payment using apt. Sponsored app. Place is dirty people keep leaving garbage bags by elevators. Noisy Niebor especially during summer when window open. Really frustrated with this place. I wish I afford to move out.

While there are a lot of mixed reviews, this place is amazing! Here's why: *Very active, friendly staff. *Well-maintained, secured, and enforced. *Most appliances are energy-efficient. *Considers reasonable accommodations. Some struggles and downsides: *Long application process. Takes about 2-4 weeks to complete (affordable housing). *Security deposit is only refundable if application is denied. Cannot get back if you decide to cancel. *Very limited parking for guests and garage parking (assigned). Recommend you ask availability prior to applying or have a remote location to park until spot opens. *Cannot have own internet/TV provider. No internet-only package at this time. *The roads can get very busy- especially on weekends and evenings. Long story short, great place to live!

TLDR Don't even think about this place. Finally, I got out of this place. No place to park or pay 100 per month on a parking spot, one spot per unit. They will tow your car without contact you during the lockdown, that's near $500 out of pocket if you act fast and have the cash. The water bill is insane. You can't just get internet without TV, for the money you pay, you can get 1000M nearby. Police visit the building almost every day, people smoking pot near the building. Noisy, the sound from I-5 is 24x7.

These apartments are new and very nice inside. That's where the good part ends. My aunt moved into these apartments about a year and a half ago. She is 75 and disabled. Parking is non-existent because nobody wants to pay for the garage parking at $100/month, so whenever I take her shopping, or do shopping for her, I have to park in front and leave my flashers on so I can quickly get in, put her food away and leave, while tenants take up what few spaces there are. And I'm told once the hotel is close to being completed (it's next door), the little parking that there is will be removed. This building is on 196th next to the freeway, so not like there's any street parking there. I haven't been able to sit and just visit with her in her home for about a year, now. Because of her condition, we asked for a 2nd key fob to open the doors (for me) .. even offered to pay for it. But we were declined. I do have to say, they did give me my own code so I can buzz myself in, which is great as long as my phone still has a charge when we get there. The apartment (unit) doors shut automatically, which makes it extremely difficult to get out or in with her wheelchair. I'm afraid in a fire, she'd be stuck :( I've made these issues known, but apparently it doesn't matter. She is looking to move soon, but she's looking at a property owned by the same people, and I'm afraid we'll run into the same issues. So if you like to have your friends and/or family come visit .. these apartments would not be my choice! Neither would they be my choice if you are handicapped.

Police are there constantly, rude staff exept the maintenance guys are friendly. It's a federal building but the office won't do anything about the pot. Meth lab was busted. No area for little kids. Apartments are very small, and the washer and dryers in the unit are also not full size like they said. Good luck getting a parking spot outside, costs $100 for a garage spot. Elevators are barely clean. Not much of a pet area outside. Make you have direct TV $80. Over all bad place to be, not as nice as the pictures shown. Was there for almost two years, never again, stay far far away from this place.

The worst management. Once you sign the lease there is nobody who cares about you.

I have been living here for 1 month now. When you come in to the see the building staff and everything else seems nice, but once you move in even though the office is open everyday staff never responds to any complains or customer problems and most of the doors never open. In this building you cannot order anything online because everything gets stollen outside your door. You cannot have internet unless you buy their own internet package with cabel. You cannot sleep at night because of the cheap building structure and loud noise. You cannot stay in your building during the day because of all the yelling and fighting coming from almost every corner of the building. They charge $100 for parking. I was really excited to move into this appartment but the only thing I wanna do now is leave.

Our family just moved in to City Center last week and so far everything is great. The building is brand new so there are a few kinks that they are working out but nothing that affects the livability of the apartments. There are lots of community rooms with gorgeous furniture and decor. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. So far, the other residents that we've met have been very friendly. Being able to park in the garage is a little pricey, but with water/sewer/garbage being included in the rent it still ended up being less than what we were paying for a reserved parking space and water/sewer/garbage combined at our last apartment.

Fabulous Layouts and wonderful amenities are going to make this an incredible place to call home!!
