Apartments in Bothell, WA

“What a great place to live! Love the amenities and what's even better is the smiles anhelp by the people who work there - from the maintenance team to the office managers!”

“My husband and I lived at Griffis for about six years, and were in three different units during that time. Management has changed a couple of times since living here, but the current team is really great. I don't think I have ever gone to voicemail when calling the office, and the team responds quite quickly to emails as well.What I don't understand, are the negative reviews in regards to the noise level of neighbors, as the complex doesn't really have much control over that (especially during "normal" hours). However, when I have called the office to inform them of loud banging (hammering, etc.) and other unreasonable noises, I was always assured that they would call around and try to get to the bottom of it. Writing a negative review because you can hear your neighbors walking upstairs doesn't really make much sense to me, as it has nothing to do with the complex as a whole.Griffis is also incredibly dog friendly! The fact that you can have three pets is great, but it does also drastically limit where you could potentially move in the future. The entire place is very walk-able, with sidewalks connecting the entire community, as well as lots of grassy areas to potty dogs. (It would be nice if there were a few more dog poop stands, though).The amenities are also very nice! One recent review that I saw said that the gym is small, but that is very much untrue. Griffis has, by far, the biggest apartment gym that I have experienced, as well as many different types of equipment. The pool does get closed quite often, which I'm sure is very frustrating for people who want to use it, but my husband and I never did.The only thing that happened in my six years here that really frustrated me was when my car bumper got completely ripped off on one side because of a piece of rebar sticking out of the parking block by over an inch, and upon emailing the community manager in hopes of getting some sort of compensation for repairs, or at the very least for the rebar to be removed, I never received a response. It has been over a year and I still haven't fixed my bumper as it is very pricey.Ultimately, the reason my husband and I decided to move to a different apartment is because of the increase in rent every year. It has been a $130-140ish increase per month for the last couple years, and we just cannot save for a house when paying over $2500 for a 2b 1b. However, we certainly appreciate Griffis a lot more after moving to our current apartment. If we weren't saving for a house we would absolutely move back to this place!”

“Nice apartment community for families. The grounds are always maintained very nicely. They always fix things quickly. The maintenance team is Very Helpful and responsive.”

“Great place to start a family with your first child, or two. Safe neighborhood, as well as storage next door. And many grange/ parking options. Could use a dog park, or some entertainment area. Other than that, this place is a great place to call home. New, updated apartment homes, with modern features, including soft close cabinets, and toilet seats. New flooring, as well as smart tech appliances/sensors for optimal safety, and savings on utilities. Consider this place home. And I'm sure you won't regret it!”
