Via 6

Living in the heart of downtown with top notch safety and accessibility to major attractions and commute routes is possible at Via6 Apartments. Located right opposite Amazon Spheres, the locality is vibrant and lively at all times, and more so on Saturdays when the farmer's market is right outside Via6. Great community amenities with lounges, rooftop spaces and large fitness centers. Additionally, it also houses two restaurants in the building. Incorporating Luxer, TULU, and Bilt Rewards is a great step! Apartments come with amazing views of downtown Seattle, Puget Sound, Olympic mountains, Space Needle and Spheres. Location advantage!

Great overall community to live in. No complaints after the first month. Location and community are exceptional.

Maintenance is not upto the mark. Common area amenities technology do not work.

Great community and super friendly staff. The location is one of the best in downtown Seattle and it’s a delight to live here. Community area and resident amenities can be improved.

This place sucks. If there’s ever a problem don’t expect it to get fixed

Would not recommend choosing Via6. Lots of other communities in neighborhood with hopefully better leasing and resident experience teams.

Absolutely terrible move-in experience at Via6. The unit was filthy upon arrival, and despite multiple emails and four in-person visits, management has done nothing to resolve the issues. I can’t even submit maintenance requests because the resident portal doesn’t work, and no one has bothered to fix it. On top of that, I haven’t received any emails from the property, I don’t even know how to pay rent, and I still don’t have my mailbox code, meaning I can’t get my packages. The lack of communication and accountability is beyond frustrating.

Overall, my move-in experience has been somewhat average. The apartment was not entirely move-in ready when handed over to me, with a few concerns that were not addressed immediately. Due to a staffing shortage, it took five days for the work orders to be completed. Additionally, a basic yet essential amenity like the elevator is not functioning properly—one is out of service, and the other two often take more than five minutes to arrive, causing occasional inconvenience.

It's an amazing apartment building. Its location is very convenient, close to everything, it's in downtown. You don't need any transportation if you live in downtown and close to your job. The team is very helpful. I would recommend it to anyone!

Via6 has wonderful living accommodations for any need, with friendly staff and a perfect location to boot. Pat and Trent are superstars

Elevators constantly broken, trash chutes often broken, maintenance requests are often slowly fulfilled, Victor tavern taking community space away, broken grills, broken / removed TVs, etc. Longtime resident growing frustrated.

Great location, decent living spaces, friendly concierge staff (shoutout to Isa and AJ!)--amenities come up a little short: small weight room / workout room (would be great if they were connected), and with the construction, losing the movie room was unfortunate. 7th floor terrace is great to relax. Maintenance requests may never get addressed unless you hunt down concierge / management, and price jump into second year leasing options can be shocking.

Via6 is amazing place to live in Seattle. I enjoy living in this building immensely! First of all it's situated in the best location in Seattle, it's close to everything - grocery store (WholeFoods), Pike market place, great coffee places and restaurants. It's close to all the sports studios, if you are an active person, you will find all the options to try out to be fit. It's clean and safe - security works at the front desk 24 hours a day. Leasing team is very helpful and pleasure to speak to. The building has a free gym and a beautiful roof top. There's a bagel place and an open terrace restaurant downstairs. I feel very comfortable and enjoy my experience at Via6 very much! It's my favorite place to live in.

Via 6 do not respect your schedule, is non communicative and allow strangers to trespass apt without prior authorization.

Via6 is a great community! Older building so amenities are not as fully fledged as newer apartment communities, however the location and proximity to downtown activities, shopping, pike place, and other Seattle staples is excellent. Great apartment community if you're looking for a quiet community that is close to a lot of activities in the downtown scene.

I recommend the Via 6! It has great amenities, gorgeous apartments, and a great location!

While the location and views are good, having to share the ground floor with other retail shops ruins the experience for residence. Elevators, area around the entrance and building are poorly managed. Over all average experience.

We lived at Via6 for almost 4 years. The property itself was ok. Simply put, mostly functional but nothing to write home about. We moved into an apartment with appliances already showing signs of heavy use. Closet and bedroom doors were impossible to lock due to the locks' being misaligned between the doors and door frames. That wasn't a big deal for us, but it gives a general sense of how sloppy things typically are here. It was basically normal for one of the elevators to be out of order (for whatever reason), which created lines with wait times occasionally exceeding 10 min. But all of the above is nothing compared to the nightmare which unfolded following out move-out. The property is managed by Greystar. If you've never heard of them, try doing a quick online search on this company and read resident reviews and stories on various portals. You will quickly realize that Greystar is perhaps the most hated property management company in the world; and that is for a good reason. Upon our move-out, Greystar compiled a long list of allegedly damaged things, among which were appliances we have never even touched (for instance the dishwasher). They charged us for replacing a perfectly functioning microwave simply because it was not clean after I heated up a pizza in it on my last day at the apartment. Absolutely outrageously, they charged us almost $2000 for "refinishing the cabinets," even though the cabinets had no damage attributable to tenant-induced neglect. On top of that, they also charged $150 for painting the walls which had absolutely no structural damages, only a few easily washable marks which were left by the tires of my bike (this is considered normal wear and tear by Washington state law). All in all, Greystar used the power imbalance between tenant and landlord to fullest extent in order to renovate a unit which hadn't been touched up since the building opened in 2013. We repeatedly demanded that Greystar bring their claims against us to court, which appeared like the only possible way for us to reach any agreement. They ignored all such requests and simply insisted that we owe them money without providing any reasonable evidence. So, yeah, think twice before renting at Via6 (or any Greystar-managed property). There are most certainly better options.

Via6 consierge staff is wonderful. Maintenance staff is knowledgeable and professional. The location of Via6 is great. My move to Via6 was a good decision.

A great place with a great location and tons of cool amenities. The rooftop grilla are a bit dirty and seems barely been cleaned. Average gym but really good chef's kitchen and pool tables set up to enjoy. Great rooftop.

Via 6 is always very helpful and responsive. They have resolved all the issues I had in a timely manner and to the best of my expectations. I will absolutely recommend Via6 for your future home 100%.

The building is nice and well maintained, and the staff are professional and friendly.

The leasing team here is amazing! Everything was so quick and easy. Im very very happy that we chose Via6

I am very happy with my decision to move into Via6. My unit is very nice and was ready to go on move-in day and the apartment community is nice and quiet. The amenities are great too, especially the terrace (it's very tranquil and pretty).

DO NOT MOVE HERE! I have had nothing but issues since I moved in. The elevators, trash chutes and other amenities are constantly not working. The staff does not appear to take proper COVID-19 precautions and I have had nothing but concerns. I was mislead and misinformed about the design and layout of my unit prior to move in. I was shown a beautiful apartment like the ones in the images and then given a unit with terrible stained carpet and broken appliances. It took 2 weeks to get a replacement washer and dryer when broken and there is still a gaping hole in my wall after weeks from repair. When repairing 6 employees without proper covid precautions or prior otherization of excess were in my apartment. Many of which taking personal phone calls and not relevant to the repair (THIS IS NOT SAFE DURING COVID). When I contacted regional management they did not take my concerns seriously and failed to take action. The staff is unwilling to help support remediation and take matters seriously. My utilities range from 350-500 a month for a 1 bed, 1 bath due to water leaks and faulty equipment. Please save yourselves the time, energy, stress and money. They informed me that they would issues credits for my poor experience and still have not completed there action to do so. AGAIN SAVE YOURSELF! I know I would have if I knew in advance.

Very professional employee here. From consulting to conceige. Also the clean apt and good maintainsnce

Via6 is in a great location. Walkable to so many parts of downtown, and feels safer than other parts of the city.

Via6 is at one of the most prime locations in Seattle downtown with everything in walking distance. The apartments are amazing and so is the view of Spheres.

Amazing location in the heart of the amazon campus! Just a short walk to all your Seattle living needs. Friendly staff, incredible floor plans and amenities!

I used to recommend Via6 to people I know all the time including friends. I held many events in this building. The previous management used to be more in touch with the residents, which was part of the resident experience. They seemed to be more on top of things and cared more. Sadly, I don't feel the same way anymore. I think management needs to think of creative ways to provide incentives to residents, especially those who have been around for awhile instead of sending surveys. Try to build relationships. You are after all in the customer/client service business after all.

The biggest selling point of Via 6 used to be the beautiful amenities (deck, kitchens, restaurants & coffee shop etc. on the first floor). Now the amenities are closed, the restaurants have moved out, and the 1st floor will be empty space for the foreseeable future. Additionally there were lots of major issues with maintenance (last year's water shutoff for weeks on end, this year widespread fire alarms failure). Neither occurrence is the apartment staff's fault, but they should have been more aggressive with rent rebates to compensate for the inconvenience to residents.

Beautiful house, peaceful neighborhood and respectful neighbors. I am loving it!

They don’t care about you. Have tried to overcharge on rent numerous times, only for them to not have an explanation about the mysterious charges. Also, all the restaurants that were available when we moved in are now gone. They left in January, we were told new restaurants would move in during February, and it’s now April and still empty. There are other properties at better prices with more amenities, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Love living here!

Don't waste your time, money, or energy on this place. 1. The building is a LEMON. They had to do an 18 month construction project to replace all the pipes. The elevators and trash chutes are continuously broken. The units are cheaply constructed - the trim in my bathroom fell off, the cheap fake wood flooring came up, my washer broke twice, the door to my patio broke. I ended up renting a private garage in the building, and the garage door broke . . . Everything just kept breaking. 2. The leasing office is dishonest. They conveniently forgot to mention the 18 month construction project when I was looking at the unit and considering a lease. Three weeks after moving in I got a notice on my door saying I had to move out for 1 month so they could replace all the pipes in my unit. Sure, they offered all sorts of discounts and stipends because of the construction, but had I known about the project, I never would have moved into it in the first place. 3. The staff is disorganize and inept, and the building as a whole is poorly managed. With all the issues this building has, the staff always ends up shrugging and saying they can't do anything about it. While the construction issues were obnoxious, what was worse was how poorly the staff communicated info the tenants. They'd host sessions to share information and later change the plan without communicating it. None of the teams that work here communicate. 4. Other tenants are entitled and rude. There's zero common courtesy for the fact that you are living in close proximity. Tenants leave their trash by the trash chute to pile up, they take their Christmas trees down to the loading dock without putting it in a bag so they leave a trail of pine needles the whole way, they put their compost in the common area compost bins instead of taking it to the loading dock where residents are supposed to dispose of their compostables. One neighbor dropped a lit cigarette down the trash chute and it caused a fire that had 6 fire trucks called, and the residents from both towers sitting out in the cold for three hours over the winter. Again, the staff is impotent in doing anything about this - they send passive aggressive emails and nothing else ever changes. It's a shame - it's a great location, and a beautiful building, but aside from the view, I have nothing good to say about this apartment complex.

Extremely happy with the choice of apartment when it comes to Via6. The location, restraunts, game zone is such an attraction especially when you invite someone home. Despite being on a prime location it is peaceful inside the house, conceirge is courteous and helpful and multiple community events help you make new friends. Totally recommend this place!

Via6 is a excellent community for people to live. Large gym, small theater, good restaurant. I love here.

Great community, wonderful vertical living concepts , convenience, location, dedicated staff

Really great apartments at a really great and accessible location

The elevators take forever, and the trash chute is constantly out of service. But don't worry, the smells from the chute are open 24/7

Via 6 has a very knowledagble staff, an excellent location, and many useful amenities! The leasing office was so helpful in making my move stress free and efficient.

Apartment size is great, management leaves a lot wanting

nice staff, good community and excellent furniture

Via6 apartments was a pleasant surprise for me to find an awesome location and amenities

Leasing at Via6 apartments is the best decision I could have made! The leasing staff is friendly, accommodating, and extremely helpful and professional. The concierge team is fantastic! They go above and beyond when they can. Overall a luxurious community full of great amenities and fantastic staff! I found the location to be absolutely perfect! Everything I need is a block or two away.

It's expensive but you get what you pay for. Make sure you get an apartment on the western side of the building so you have a view of the Olympic Mountains!

I'm currently living at this building. Overall apartments at this building area, location is really great, 1st floor coffee shop, small grocery store (has good salad bar and tasty pizza) and Tanaka San restaurant, everything is great....but, this building has pretty bad construction quality what comes to water piping. This building has been under repair for more than a year now because of leaking water pipes. Earlier last year there was huge water damaged causing people to move out from their units, before that some pipes were leaking in the storage area. This is too bad because I do have enjoy living at this building but I will move out once my lease expires. There's plenty of new apartment rental buildings in this area so I rather take the pain of moving than staying here. I will miss you Via6, but you will need to get everything repaired before I am willing live here in the future.

This place is just a mess. They're constantly having mechanical or plumbing issues. They've repeatedly had to shut off water, and the trash chutes are plagued with issues. At any given time, one or the other tower's chute is down. Since I moved in four months ago, I've put in a half dozen maintenance requests and they've still never fixed the chute on my floor. Is the location convenient? Sure. Is the staff friendly? Absolutely. Is the building of good quality? Absolutely not.

Don't waste your money here. There are much better places for the price they charge. Pros: 1. Concierge staff is amazing and friendly. All my interactions with them were extremely positive. 2. Gym is pretty good (when the AC is working). Cons: 1. I lived in Via6 for 2 years. As other Yelp-ers have mentioned, the building has been plagued with water issues. Almost every week during my 2-year stay, the water would be turned off for one or more nights. 2. There was a major flooding in the south tower in 2017. The entire 7th floor was water-damaged. In addition, the weekend the flooding happened, some apartments in the south tower had electrical outage. I was in one of the apartments affected and my apartment did not have electricity for 4 days (Friday to Monday)! Anyway, Via6 staff were quick to point out that any inconvenience caused to me due to the flooding in their apartment complex should be addressed to my insurance. The staff didn't even offer a sincere apology for the lack of basic living necessities from their end. 3. When I moved out, I was sent a $800 bill. This is because they claimed it took them 5 hours to paint my apartment due to "dings, scratch’s and rub marks". Of course, this claim must have been very convenient for them since they canceled the pre-move-out inspection of my apartment on the day of the inspection saying they had more urgent things to take care of. 4. There are 3 elevators for each tower. However, one elevator was frequently broken (with repairs generally not performed on weekends from what I observed) and one was generally booked by residents moving in and out. So, on multiple weekends there was just one elevator serving 600 residents. 5. Via6 also doesn't have a rooftop terrace. There are no views visible from the 7th floor common area, especially during the July 4th and new year fireworks. Almost every other building has a proper roof-top. 6. The garbage chute was broken most of the time. 7. I've since moved to another luxury apartment complex and realized what "luxury" actually means. Everything from the in-apartment cupboards to the building facilities are much much better than Via6 for the same price I was paying at Via6. And guess what - the elevators and garbage chute have been functional for 95% of the time at the new place. I suggest avoiding Via6 like the plague. There are much better places in Seattle, for the high prices Via6 charges, where the staff will treat you with actual respect.

Perfect Belltown location, walking distance from everything, but not too close to hear all the shenanigans of 1st and 2nd ave. Friendly, helpful staff. Regular, fun events on the 7th floor rooftop often with great food, drinks, and people, sometimes we'll even have bands or djs performing which is great for nights where we want some entertainment, but don't really feel like leaving the building. I've lived here over 2 years now and barely ever hear my neighbors, which makes sleeping much easier than in previous apartments! This is pretty much the perfect building for me.
