Nestled along Puget Sound, Tacoma is a seaside city ideally located about halfway between Seattle and Olympia with about 30 miles to both. The city is actually named for Mount Rainier, which was originally called Takhoma. If you are looking at apartments in Tacoma, consider Central Tacoma -- it is located on the west side of Downtown, directly south of the University of Puget Sound. Central Tacoma is home to Cheney Stadium and several golf courses.
Life is easy in Central Tacoma -- Tacoma was named one of the most livable cities in the nation. It is also one of the most pedestrian-friendly, and it is home to Washington State's first electric light rail service. As for culture, Tacoma is home to the most museums in the state.

Property Ratings at 1500 Orchard Apartments
This is the only review worth reading. Do not move here, the 5 star reviews are written by tenants who just moved in and have no knowledge of the property, the people who own it, or the leasing office staff. They were also asked by property management to write good reviews. Dobler management will not give tenants leases and they are raising rent every 6 months. They'll try to sell you on being month to month and able to move out at any time but it's only month to month so they can continue to raise rent every 6 months. The apartments were cheaply built, floors and ceilings are paper thin and you can hear everything your neighbors are doing, yes everything. The other reviews rave about the gate, the gate never works and hasn't worked for a consistent amount of time since it was completed in 2021. Cars are broken into constantly and the property owners won't hire any security and are too cheap to put security cameras throughout the property. Every time the gate is broken, which is all the time, there is no urgency to get it fixed and it takes over a month or months. When it snows and freezes they don't have any staff to clear the property and will leave the sidewalks a complete sheet of ice. Residents were falling during the storm Dec. 2021. The property owners refused to hire people to come and clear the snow and ice. We lost the best maintenance person, Darrell. Ashley never sent out an email to say the Darrell had left, he'd been there 3 years. The new person doesn't even say hi or acknowledge tenants as he walks the property. Dobler is cheap and are horrible property owners. They will charge you to clean the carpet after you move out. Everywhere I have ever lived there's never a charge; it's part of turning the apartment over or part of the non-refundable $400 pet deposit.

My stay at 1500 Orchard was nothing short of great. Never any issues - neighbors, maintenance and management were all fantastic. Seriously, I never heard a peep from anyone or anything. The apartments are so big and spacious, my one bedroom was so big with tons of storage. Melanie is the best property manager ever! So sad I had to relocate, but thank you for making my stay the best! I miss you already!
Property Manager at 1500 Orchard Apartments, Responded To This Review
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience at 1500 Orchard was so positive. It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed the spacious apartment, quiet environment, and the great relationships with your neighbors, maintenance, and management. We especially appreciate your kind mention of Melanie – she truly goes above and beyond for our residents, and your feedback means the world to us! While we’re sad to see you go, we wish you the best in your new location, and we’ll always welcome you back if you return to the area. Thank you again for being a part of our community! Best regards, 1500 Orchard Apartments
I debated between 2 and 3 stars. On the surface this apartment complex seems great. Very clean, new units, etc. However it’s ended up being a frustrating place to live. The assigned parking spots, that you have to pay $35 for, are too small for trucks and SUVs. If you have one and park next to another truck/SUV good luck not hitting them or the overhang supports. Despite all amenities being closed since early spring there hasn’t been any portion of the rent credited back. The pool, hot tub, tanning bed, and gym were big sellers for me and I haven’t been able to use them even once. You have to pay an expensive non-refundable fee if you own a pet that doesn’t seem to cover anything besides the two pet waste stations in the complex. Expect to pay more mandatory fees when you move out for cleaning since you have a pet. And then when it comes time to move in/out there are almost zero areas where you can actually fit a UHAUL/moving truck near the buildings so expect to walk 100-300m with all your household goods. Oh and there’s only cardboard recycling, expect to just throw away all your plastic and glass.

Thank you for your feedback regarding 1500 Orchard. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your brand-new clean home but understand that there might have been a misunderstanding regarding the pet fee when the contract was signed. It does state that the fees do not go toward cleaning or damages, but we do not charge a monthly pet rent like other properties, so we believe the residents are saving money in the long run. We completely understand your frustration regarding the amenities being closed while we comply with the mandates due to COVID-19. While these amenities are not available, we have kept as much open as possible including the greenbelts, walking trails, EV charging stations and our staffed onsite management team. We hope to open back up for everyone to enjoy the perks in the near future! Carport assignments are based off the location of your home. Some larger vehicles might have a harder time parking in their assigned spots, but there is also ample uncovered parking as well that you are more than welcome to take advantage of. We are more than happy to help accommodate a moving truck. We have found a few locations that seem to be working well for our residents. Please contact the office and we will be more than happy to assist! Again, thank you for your feedback and choosing 1500 Orchard as your home. Melanie M. - Community Manager
Me and my husband recently moved from Texas to Washington. While we were in the process of choosing a location to live through the Internet only, Marissa and the rest of the staff were super helpful and responded to every concern perfectly. During our move in, another leaser and Marissa had a great positive attitude and they made the whole cross country stressful process much easier. Zero complaints since living here, clean location and convenient distance from downtown Tacoma.
Property Manager at 1500 Orchard Apartments, Responded To This Review
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that Marissa and our team could make your move from Texas to Washington as smooth and stress-free as possible. Moving cross-country can be overwhelming, and we're thrilled that our positive attitude and helpfulness made a difference for you. It’s wonderful to know that you’re enjoying the clean environment and convenient location near downtown Tacoma. We appreciate having you as part of our community and are here if you ever need anything! Best regards, 1500 Orchard Apartments
I'd give it zero stars if I could. First of all, they are not very organized and the customer service isn't the best. They rarely pick up the phone. When you e-mail them their response is cutting and short. Both my husband and I started the application. I submitted mine and he didn't. He asked somebody from the office if he will get charged even thought he didn't submit it. She said no. And then, of course, He ended up getting $200 deposit taken and two $50 taken out of his account. I got $250 taken out of my account. The manager blamed my us for submitting two applications even though I'm the only one that submitted it in the end. Lets just say its been a month since they told us they'll send us our money back. But I haven't gotten anything. E-mailed them, no response so far. I'll update if there are any changes.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry to hear that your experience with us was not 100% seamless. We have had an overwhelming amount of interest on this property and while we do our best to answer all of the calls we receive, sometimes this is not possible when we are on the line with another prospective resident or out on tour. We do email back as quickly as you can - my apologies if you felt our responses were short! We try and keep things as clear and concise as possible. As for your refund, our system does not take any money from an applicant unless an application is submitted. If an application was submitted on a secondary guest card, then the $200 payment would be charged (in addition to the one you were charged) as the system does not recognize that the applications are together - you must apply on a linked application if you are applying as co-applicants. I have not received any additional emails from you since your application was cancelled. We are processing this refund as we speak and you should receive this check in the mail soon! Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any additional questions! Best, Marissa Stanley Community Manager
It takes at least a week to get approval, pretty strict on criteria, I left over 5 messages and did not receive one message back, not a very good look for a new resident or new property. I have 12 rentals in my name perfect history never late, I make over 110k a year and because of a divorce and not perfect credit I was denied.
Property Manager at 1500 Orchard Apartments, Responded To This Review
Hello, We appreciate your feedback. Our screening company uses a very specific written criteria for residency which includes guidelines based on income, prior rental history, credit, criminal history, etc. Divorce (or lack thereof) specifically is not mentioned in this criteria and therefore would not be something that would be grounds for denial, or even considered when looking at an application. I would be happy to provide you a copy of this criteria if you would like. If you feel as though you actually met the criteria for residency and were denied in error, please reach out to us directly and we would be happy to take a second look at your application. I sincerely apologize if there was any time we did not get back to you - we do our best to respond to every voicemail, email, or other communication as timely as we can. I am concerned to hear that you called this many times and did not receive a response. Would you mind providing me the phone number you were using to contact the office? I'd like to look into this and make sure our system is operating properly. We appreciate every applicant that takes the time to apply with us here at 1500 Orchard. The screening process can be held up if we are having a difficult time getting a hold of your previous rentals for the residence verification. If previous residences are timely with their replies, it usually takes roughly 3-4 business days to hear back from screening. Again, we sincerely thank you for your comments and please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any additional questions! Best, Marissa Stanley Community Manager
The property manager was amazing! She's unlike any property manger I've came across. She's informative, and just as excited about the place as much as new tendents would be. I'm still on my apartment search but this place is high on my list! It also a great price for what it looks like. Its modern and has a loft feel in a small place but I was just shown the studio so I can only imagine how the rest will look.

Hello, Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that you loved the apartments and we hope to be welcoming you home to 1500 Orchard soon! Best, Marissa Stanley Community Manager
