Adagio — Attraction in Bellevue

I lived at Adagio Apartments for about three years starting in 2018 and lived in - at the time - the most recently renovated apartment and only moved out because of unfortunate circumstances that had nothing to do with the complex themselves, otherwise I would of actually continued my lease!

Where do I begin? The staff are an absolute delight and will respond in a timely manner and help you with whatever needs ASAP which is normally a hit or miss with staff at most apartments. Here, they will try to accommodate you to the best of their abilities to make sure your living experience at Adagio is comfortable as possible. The maintenance crew is wonderful as well. Any time we had an issue, they solved the problem pretty much right away. When we first moved in, there was an electrical issue that took a few days to solve but they solved it and even gave us a Visa gift card for the inconvenience since we had just moved in. Even after hours, they have a 24/7 emergency maintenance line that we can call in case something goes wrong when the office is closed which has came in handy a few times! Pre covid, they would hold small events and activities for residents to join in on and would also have free snacks/ice cream to give on certain days. Even during covid, they're doing their best to still have some sort of virtual gatherings and such and I remember they were giving out free pie around Thanksgiving time within covid restrictions. They had a lot of contests before too sometimes which we had won once and got $200 off our next months rent!

The location is ideal for the price you’re paying which is pretty competitive. You’re close to the freeway, shopping centers, and restaurants. About 15-20 minutes without traffic to many cities in different directions such as Seattle, Issaquah, Lynnwood. There is a small park nearby called Goldsmith Neighborhood Park which is walking distance near the Apartments so it's great for your dogs that need a walk. A lot of nearby bus lines as well. It's right by one of the Microsoft campuses that's walking distance so from what i've seen, a lot of the residents are Microsoft employees/interns.

I don’t have many complaints. They are apartments so you will have neighbors above you that you’ll occasionally hear living on the 1st and 2nd floor like living in most apartments. Then again, we’re pretty lenient with sounds & what not. Even during the day, the area and neighbors (at least ours) were fairly quiet. The amenities - we would occasionally use when they were open pre covid, such as the pool and tennis courts. However, the gym during the few times we did use it, only had a limited amount of workout equipment so if you're looking to really workout, it's probably best you don't rely on the apartment's gym.

Crime isn't too much of an issue, like many places you will occasionally have someone's car broken into or a bike stolen but it's not a high crime area by any means. The plus side is, you either have free parking or can pay for a carport or a reserved spot. That's a perk I miss already after moving. With the free spots, it is a first come first serve thing but it was never an issue for us finding a spot right in front of our apartments. I believe they also have a storage garage that you can pay for (i'm not entirely sure about the storage since I never used it so make sure to double check on that). They have weekly scheduled landscapers that keep the area nice and tidy from leaves and grass/bushes and what not as well.

Overall, the staff, the location, and the price you're paying for the location, I think is an absolute steal but the staff really made it worthwhile! I would recommend these apartments to anyone looking to move...

By far my favorite place I have lived! For multiple reasons, the price, location, quality of the home and the management is amazing!! Shelby, the current manager there goes above and beyond to make sure her residents are taken care of. The amount of resident events she would host, you could tell just how much she cares for us. I loved the community and homes so much I lived in one of the 1 bedrooms and the 2 bedrooms. The quality of the homes... I couldn’t have asked for anything better. The grey quartz countertops are so pretty and the kitchen is HUGE!! So much storage space and a cute breakfast bar that I miss having. You get your own private balcony and washer and dryer. The bathroom is a great size with extra storage under the sink and 3 larger drawers... coming from a girl, having a lot of storage in the bathroom is all I could ask for. My FAVORITE part about the home was the closet.. I kid you not you could fit a twin size bed in there and some. (I am talking about the 1 bedroom that is 732sq/ft) both the 1 and 2 bedrooms were amazing and the only reason I left was because I transferred jobs.

I was looking at some of the reviews on here and it is NOT TRUE that there is “a lot of mold growth” neither one of the apartments that I lived in ever had mold. The only reason mold growth would happen is because you aren’t properly ventilating your home... just open your windows, and keep the moisture fan on in the bathroom! Simple as that, you will...

Great place for stay. I lived here for over two years with my wife, and our experience was positive. The apartment, we stayed at, was in a good shape. I did not have any major complaints during my stay. At times, when we did have complaints, like clogged toilet, accidentally locking bathroom from inside, the management was supportive in resolving those problems in timely manner. Thank you Shelby, Erika, and entire management staff for your service.

The community is safe. One can see kids and families playing around or walking on a sunny day inside community, which was a great way to connect :). It is close to grocery stores, Microsoft and public bus stop, all these are nice to have.

Monthly rent was also lower than average amount in the neighborhood communities. Personally, I liked the layout of the one bed apartments. Had I not had need for a two bath apt., I would have extended my lease.

If I have to be over-critical, insulation between floors/ceilings is not that great. Therefore, one can hear stomping noise from apartment above, especially when family above have kids. However, I understand that this is not something we can do much about. We were lucky to have great neighbors, who were considerate, and used to be careful during usual...
