      Neighborhood

      Located about 100 miles north of Seattle, Happy Valley is one of Bellingham’s most wooded neighborhoods. Similar to other Washington communities, Happy Valley has underdeveloped pockets of land and access to parks, wetlands, forests, and meadows. It’s common to catch an owl, deer, or even a horse grazing in town. Along with natural beauty, Happy Valley is best known for bordering Western Washington University and students or faculty can walk to campus in under 15 minutes. Although the neighborhood is a popular location for student housing, Happy Valley also has a variety of affordable to upscale houses and apartments available for rent. With access to two commercial hubs and great schools, Happy Valley is also a popular spot for families. Downtown Bellingham is only a 10-minute drive away so residents have easy access to museums, theaters, live music venues, diverse restaurants, brewpubs, cafes, and more.

      School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

      I HATE PTLA

      1. carpets, bathrooms, counters, drawers were all disgusting when we moved in. 2. tiny rooms, thin walls and doors. not as bad as viking gardens but still not worth ~$920/month 3. they WILL CHARGE YOU for any damages they can if you didnt report them when you first moved in. this is especially dangerous because everywhere you look there is damage so its hard to notice every little thing and remember to write it down when you move in. I honestly wont be surprised if I dont get my incredibly expensive deposit back. 4. stove broke and it took over a month for them to fix it

      Awful

      Management is the worst I've ever seen. They are so unorganized and unhelpful and don't care about their tenants at all.

      Terrible place to live

      Management is awful, I recommend checking out the other reviews posted around the internet. I couldn’t get them to call me back at any point over the course of a year. It took over 2 months to get a key to my mailbox & many times the office was closed. I sent easily 10+ emails without ever getting a response in regards to coordinating my move out, no one ever responded. There have been a few accounts of them continuing to charge people after they move out & sending them to collections. This place is obscenely overpriced for the area, if I were you I’d just find somewhere else.

      Property Manager at University Heights, Responded To This Review
