  • Not worth it

    August 2, 2023
    I've been here for quite a while now and I've got some issues. The direct area road work is straight up hazardous on my car, and because of all the roadwork friends / food delivery can't actually get to my building without a thorough knowledge of the streets here. The building water keeps getting shut off, cant turn hot, or on a couple of occasions cant turn cold. The elevators keep getting these just disgusting messes in them, anything from dirty cloth diapers to "its clean but that smell is ...
    awful". They seem to think emailing people replaces door notices. There was a massive leak in the building that continued for about 4 months and they mostly just taped it off that whole time. They can't seem to keep their staff, and the best reason I can think of is that upper management must be just awful. The rent is just too much for what I'm getting, and I appreciate that the people working directly with me here are great but the building has a lot of big issues and the neighborhood has gone downhill A LOT. In short, shop around a bit because WOW did they gloss over a lot during my tour.

  • Great community, great location

    September 29, 2021
    I’ve been at The Mill for 2 years now and it’s been great! The location is prime (close to downtown and Capitol Hill, but without the traffic and tourists) and the amenities are awesome. Especially the year round hot tub! There’s also 2 dog parks, and a fun community of dog owners to hang out with while the dogs are running around :)

    September 22, 2021
    The management of this building is absolutely atrocious! Where to even begin? The laundry situation is a joke. You would think that laundry on every floor would be great, it's not. The dryer on our floor has not worked in the 6 months that I have lived here. You are constantly put between building management and the laundry service company. When you go to do laundry, it is not an exaggeration that you might have to go to 4, 5, even 6 different floors to find a washer and dryer that even works. ...
    The laundry room on the 2nd floor is DISGUSTING! It often looks like it has not been cleaned in weeks! Not to mention that the washers and dryers there are consistently out of order as well. The gym is full of outdated and non functioning equipment. Neither elliptical works nor have they worked in several weeks. They tell you that service requests will be addressed within 72 hours. That almost never happens. In fact, most of the time they address it by saying they do not have the correct part for whatever your issue is, and then you have to wait a month plus for it to be fixed. I had a heater that was broken for 4 months! They recently replaced the kitchen sink hose and now there are holes in the hose so water goes everywhere when you turn it on. Maintenance says that they do not have the right hose in stock and that it will be a month before they do. Unacceptable. Literally go on Amazon and order a hose and fix the problem. The elevators in the building are consistently down. So if you are on an upper floor, get ready to hit the stairs often. The building is almost always a mess and the carpeting (while horrendous in color and design) is disgusting looking because water is constantly dripping from overhead pipes or running down the walls of the building. And it looks like it is vacuumed maybe once a month. Honestly, do not come to The Mill. I will be leaving here at the end of my lease. I might just break it and pay to get out of it......yes it is that bad. Management does not address anything here. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!

  • Love it!

    March 20, 2021
    I’ve been living at The Mill for just over a year now and I truly love it! The rates are affordable and the location is one of the best in the city. The office and maintenance teams are so helpful, that may be my favorite aspect of living here. Katelyn is very responsive to emails and is always helpful, and Chris has the most positive, joyful attitude, it’s contagious! They make the common struggles of apartment living essentially non-existent. The amenities are nothing to rave about, but ...
    they are definitely added luxuries to have around— it’s convenient to have a gym downstairs, the rooftop deck offers a nice view of the city, and there are many other amenities (pool, theater, etc.) that look to be a lot of fun but unfortunately I haven’t been able to use yet due to the pandemic. Overall, The Mill is a great place to be!

    December 29, 2020
    The Mill is the perfect mix of the classic old Seattle feel with new amenities. I've been living on the property for 6 months and could not be happier with my apartment. Additionally, leasing agents worked with me through a difficult move in and I couldn't be happier.

  • Awful

    November 9, 2020
    First off, the apartment is marketed as a luxury apartment but the amentities (gym, movie theatre etc) are outdated and much of the equipment doesn’t even work. The elevators constantly broke down and I had to make the trek 10+ floors up multiple times. They don’t even alert you if the elevators are down, mind you. The insulation on already overpriced units will run your electric and gas bills up. I didn’t even last a whole year there until I got sick of it all. There are many true luxury ...
    buildings near the location for the same price- would not waste your time at this one.

  • Chapstick on a Pig - DO NOT RENT HERE!

    February 18, 2019
    "Chapstick on a Pig" - - Take a closer look. The drywall is falling down due to leaks in the hallways. The elevators do not work and are not repaired for months. There is no concession given to residents for the inconvenience. If you lease an apartment on a high floor, expect to take the stairs regularly. Laundry on your floor sounds like a great amenity, right? Too bad the machines break down regularly and take weeks to repair. Inside your apartment you can expect doors to fall of the hinges ...
    from regular use, window treatments to fall out of casings from regular use, dishwashers to flood your kitchen and the pungent smell of the trash chute to permeate your day-to-day because of consistent issues that go ignored by the on-site maintenance staff. Spend the extra $200 and go around the corner to the other true luxury buildings. The Mill is a joke and frankly an embarrassing place to live.
