Avalon Bellevue

Slava did the best work for us after we moved in with some maintenance issues in the apartment. He is very helpful and hardworking and made sure we don’t have any issues in the new apartment.

Jennifer is very helpful and we always feel welcoming whenever we talk with her.

At Avalon Bellevue, we have friendly neighbors and is quiet neighborhood.

Maintenance crew is amazing! They are very responsive and helpful. Slava is so professional and my new tub is super clean and all works perfect! I enjoy living here in Avalon Bellevue for 4 years. Jennifer is super friendly and you can always reach her out. Avalon Bellevue is so quiet and clean! The best place to live on price/ quality ratio in downtown Bellevue.

I had a great experience at Avalon Bellevue apartments as a tenant for three years now. Slava, their maintenance person, was incredibly helpful in swiftly resolving a bathtub repair issue! - ours was worn a bit from wear and tear and he explained all our options and arranged for a fix.

Avalon Bellevue has been very prompt with all the maintenance requests. The staff is very professional and they always go above and beyond to help you.
I’m writing this to specifically mention about Slava from the maintenance staff, he was really helpful with garbage disposal issue today. He also educated us on how to avoid those issue in future.
Thanks for the quick help Slava!

Leaving this review because of a great experience that I had with Juan, one of the Maintenance Techs here. Juan came to replace a light fixture on my move-in day. On his way out he noticed a few spots of paint that needed touching up, so he got some paint and fixed it up. While painting he noticed a part of my dryer that wasn't functioning properly, so he fixed that too. Excellent service, very happy!

Avalon Bellevue is very nicely located near to all the important areas in the Downtown area - Bellevue Square, Bellevue library and Downtown park (this is a longish walk but doable) to name a few. It also close to I-405 without feeling noisy due to being a block away from the highway. The best part is its maintenance and staff. I really appreciate their willingness to communicate and keep residents informed about changes in their operations. Jen in particular has been helpful from the very start in our case. Will definitely recommend the property to prospective renters looking for condo-style apartments.

Pros:
- Nice neighborhood with lots of food options nearby.
- Apartment unit rarely needed any maintenance. And whenever it did, they were very quick and responsive.
- Spacious units with ample amount of natural light

Cons:
- The rent increases are insane. After 1 year of leasing my rent was increased by 18%.
- You're better off terminating your lease and renting a new apartment instead of renewing the lease. I was given a renewal offer (for non-renovated apartment) which was $300/month higher than what they listed my apartment for (after renovation). So only good for short term rental.
- Stinky trash rooms, elevator stops working frequently, package room break-in happened 2-3 times, no compensation or rent relief even though they shut down fitness center for many many months for renovation.
- Do not get an apartment on courtyard side. Every Monday they use noisy machines to clean courtyard in business hours. Very difficult for people working remotely.
- No AC in units.
