Property Ratings at The Dakota
The neighbors and staff have been so respectful and helpful it has definitely helped us adjust to the new environment around us. Our neighbors are respectful and nice to talk to as well. I hope the longer we live here the more new friends we get to make.
Property Manager at The Dakota, Responded To This Review
Hi there - thanks so much for the high star rating! Hope we can be of assistance in the future - just let us know, and take care!
I’ve previously shared how much I appreciated The Dakota, and I’m happy to do so again. From day one, the staff has been welcoming, responsive, and professional. The community feels secure and well-maintained, and any maintenance requests I’ve submitted have been handled quickly and efficiently—especially thanks to Hunter, who’s been outstanding. I’m glad to call The Dakota home and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed place to live.
Property Manager at The Dakota, Responded To This Review
Hi there - we're thrilled to hear you had such a great experience! To not only take the time to do one review, but come back and do another means so much. We truly appreciate your time and feedback! Thank you so much for everything you do!
I’m new to Washington and came from Germany, excited to experience the Tacoma area. After touring eight properties, The Dakota stood out as the most notable. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and safe. Caitlin H. provided a thorough and personalized tour, making the application process seamless and stress-free. Since moving in, I’ve enjoyed the quiet, secure environment and the convenient location, which is near Walmart, Costco, and Home Depot. Caitlyn P. was beneficial with the move-in process, quickly addressing minor maintenance needs, and Hunter came out within hours to fix everything. The Dakota is beautiful, well-maintained, and ideal for military families, just 20–30 minutes from JBLM and 10 minutes from Lacey’s shopping areas. I’m pleased with my choice and highly recommend The Dakota to anyone looking for a safe and welcoming place to call home.
Property Manager at The Dakota, Responded To This Review

Really great place! Lots of cool amenities like a nice workout/gym area & a hottub/swimming pool! Also a billiards table inside. Love that there isn't any fee to pay rent online through the app. Parking is scarce sometimes but they do have carports & one is assigned to you.

Wow - we're delighted you had such a fantastic experience. We are a little bias, but we couldn't agree with the location of our community, Safeway and 7-11 is the perfect combination of convenience let alone I-5! Thank you again for your kind review!
Great community close to parks and trails. Backs up to greenbelt. Pretty quiet for a city neighborhood. No issues with theft or other crimes.

For the most part I’ve experienced a quiet community. The neighbors love their music at 12am on a weekday for some reason. But other than that, I love living here.
Property Manager at The Dakota, Responded To This Review
Hi - thanks for letting us know how you feel! We'll be sure to share with the team here at The Dakota as well. Please never hesitate to reach out to management about noisy neighbors, lots of time people just don't realize how loud they actually are, and friendly reminders with our community typically go a long way! Thank you again for your kind words.
The neighborhood is very nice. Great amenities and if you’re lucky you can snag a great rental price. Only Con is parking and you will get a spot very far from your apartment.
Property Manager at The Dakota, Responded To This Review
Hi, your review about The Dakota made our day! Thanks so much for taking the time to write, we do appreciate the honesty always! While we know parking can sometimes be tough we are always trying to help delegate that. Thank you for your honestly, and we appreciate your feedback.

Most everyone is nice here. Neighbors seem to ignore the quiet hours and picking up dog poop in the park rules often. Great place to live and affordable with roomates.

We're honored by your review! Feedback like this helps us stay motivated to give you the best possible experience - every single time. We know there are always ways to improve, and we look forward to making some changes! Thank you again for you feedback and kind words.
We've been for a couple weeks now and it has been great! The application and leasing process were WAY easier than we'd expected, the representatives were so kind and helpful, and the move-in was really a breeze. Worst thing we've dealt with is hauling our things up the stairs, but that's an us problem - we wanted a 3rd floor so we knew what we were getting into, and the view is great. Would (and will) recommend The Dakota to friends!
Property Manager at The Dakota, Responded To This Review

Many residents including myself have voiced parking is a big issue. There’s also a very big issue with spiders in the door ways into your apt.
Property Manager at The Dakota, Responded To This Review
Many thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'm sorry to hear you had a negative experience with parking, and you are correct we have had lots of residents voice their concerns, we were able to use your input along with many other residents as an opportunity for all of us at The Dakota to improve - and we finally just rolled out Zark parking which is a super great app, where residents and guests can rent vacant homes spots! This is going to be very helpful in those times of needs. Please let us know what you think!
I love it so far! Communication has been great and I feel very safe. It was very clean when we moved in and the apartment is so spacious and updated.

Community wise it’s pretty quiet but you can definitely hear the ppl above you. Everyone with dogs are pretty considerate when it comes to the dog park everyone shares pretty good. The hot tub is not hot lol but if that’s all I really got to complain about then that should be pretty good.
Property Manager at The Dakota, Responded To This Review
Hi there! Thanks so much for letting us know about your experience with The Dakota - and providing us with the feedback with the spa. We will absolutely pass that along to our service team! We appreciate you.
Literally one of the best apartments I’ve live in here in Washington state. When it’s a nice hot day I know exactly where I’m going; the pool! If it’s a really cold day like how Washington usually tends to get then I get in the sauna. Sometimes my friends come over and if we don’t want to stay at my place playing the game all day we go to the common area and play some pool. Fantastic!!

Dakota apartments are great. The amenities are wonderful. Quiet community most of the time, with walking trails and parks nearby. The new dog park seems to be great for dogs in the neighborhood.

We are so happy that you are loving the new dog park and all our amenities. We appreciate the 5 stars even more though. Look forward to seeing you around! Enjoy the summer from all The Dakota Staff!
Really enjoy living in a gated community! Lots of great amenities to enjoy. Parking is scarce sometimes so that's difficult sometimes when you have guests.

Hey - what a lovely thing to say! We appreciate you so much for giving us the feedback. We are about to roll out a new parking program for guests, so make sure you stay turned to see what is coming to help alleviate that issue! Thanks again, Dakota Staff
This was the best easiest process for finding an apartment. The team was there for me to answer any questions and were super friendly! I would highly recommend the Dakota apartments.

You're the best! We really appreciate the positive review & you noticing all the hard work. Thank you so much for being a valued resident.
The community is great! Parking, however, is very annoying. It seems like there aren't enough parking spots for residents. I get off work at 4:30 in Tumwater and my boyfriend gets off at 3:30 from up in Tacoma. He gets home before me and snags an uncovered spot so I can have our parking spot. If both of us get home after like 5 then there are no parking spots inside the gate, which is the main reason we chose this apartment. Definitely something to think about before moving.

So good to hear from you! Thanks for getting us that feedback. We have been trying to find a solution to this for sometime! And just in time to respond, stay tuned for a community wide email as we are rolling out a new program to rent additional spots (while homes are vacant) We know this isn't a permanent solution! But we are hoping on those occasions where parking is tight we can find that happy medium! We have been listening and we are going to be really grateful to role this new program out! We look forward to hearing some feed back on that too! Thanks again!
Me and my husband have been living here for 7 months now and are super glad we mad the decision to choose these apartments. We have not had any complaints since being here!

Very friendly staff and neighbors, comfortable and peaceful living space. Great amenities to use including a pool table which happens to be my one of my favorites.
