Terrace Villa Apartments

no coordination with management regarding move in/out. The slow garage door is also another obstacle that will try your patience. The location is directly on the busiest and noisiest intersections in West Seattle. The noise from the beeping bus stop, construction, KFC's drive through, and the stadium will drive you insane! The stadium holds high school football games that are incredibly noisy; the blinding lights of the stadium will light up your apartment if you are on that side of the building. During track season, the starter gun every five minutes will be enough to frighten your pets and prevent you from having any peace. On the note of noise, you will never be able to have a phone conversation or watch television (without blaring the volume) while the dishwasher, washer, or dryer are running. The appliances are modern and new, but the noisiest appliances I have ever experienced. As for the maintenance of the building, the trash area is a nightmare. Just complete filth! And then there are the power outages. You can expect that to happen at least five times a year, if not more. The smoke detectors will continuously beep at a high pitch during a power outage; my two senior dogs would panic. During the power outage, no access to the building unless you stay inside and deal with the beeping. You will not be able to leave the parking garage as the gate is electronic. Their tag line is "Life is Better Here". Don't get mesmerized by the nice finishes and fixtures inside the apartments!! It is a facade for a noisy, and incompetently managed building. LIFE IS MISERABLE THERE!!

dresser and queen bed) but my living room is a really good size. The parking spaces are really small, and I even scraped the side of my car once as I have seen others do. There's really no parking for quests which can get frustrating for those who have over night quests. Lastly, when I moved in, there was a building that was sold across the street. They have turned this into a major construction site that starts early in the morning and ends by midday. So in conjunction with the intersection the building is situated on and the noise from the construction, it is not the quietest place to live. It's a nice building for most part but there are some flaws.
