Abbey Lane Apartments

Luxury apartments include a horrible paint job. They need to hire a new painter respectfully. When my mom moved in last year she was too anxious to even mention it.

These apartments are cheaper than others in the same area of similar size. It is for good reason. The manager is rude and does not take concerns seriously, like doesn't even act like she cares. When you need something fixed you might as well hire your own contractor and pay for it because if you wait for them you'll be waiting a long time. They have this gross apartment smell that i cant explain. It was subtle at first but now me and all my stuff always smell like abbey lane. Maybe its the mold other reviewers have mentioned. Would make sense why i have had new and unresolved respiratory issues since moving in.

We got professional environmental testing done on our apartment after multiple nights of my boyfriend waking up in the middle of the night gasping for air. I went to the apartment manager crying and begging for help, to be moved units or something because this was scary. They would not do anything or let us out of our lease. So we had to do it ourselves. We paid $300 for professional testing that determined the entire apartment had a serious mold problem. That wasn't enough for Dobler management to take us seriously so we then had to pay a lawyer to help get us out of our lease and our money back. This was in October. It's not February and we just now got our money back from them because they dragged their feet for so long even with our attorney. We got our money back for our deposits. But we suffered other damages we did not even ask for-legal fees, environmental testing, medical bills, missed work and storage fees while we did not have a place to live. They do not care about people here. Only money.

There is a ton of water damage around the windows of this place. Also obvious water damage in the ceiling. Read another review about mold and there is very likely a bad mold problem. Have had multiple neighbors over the past couple of months complain of mold issues.

This place is lovely with an amazing view of Mt. Rainier even though the property is an aging lumbering giant. The place is showing it’s age but they continue to work on it. They’ve had a high turnover of managers and receptionists but I really like the new manager Linda. She really seems to care and tries very hard to help no matter what the problem, though she looks exhausted most of the time. I hope she stays. I’ve been here for seven years and I’m pretty happy here.

After the first night of staying in our apartment, my boyfriend started having severe upper respiratory symptoms that would resolve soon after he left the apartment for work each day. We notified management right away and were told that we could hire anyone we wanted to clean the carpets (and pay for it ourselves). The symptoms began to worsen, he developed pneumonia and had to go to the emergency room. By this time, my cat had also developed upper respiratory symptoms. We told management and they didn't really show any concern. The doctor recommended my boyfriend not return to this apartment, based on the fact that this was the only place he was having symptoms, until developing pneumonia. He tested negative for Covid. He got immediately better when we made other temporary living arrangements. We took the doctor's note to apartment management, who again showed no concern. We asked to be let out of our lease or be moved to another unit, any sort of resolution because we are desperate at this point and have nowhere to live. They offered to let us out of our lease, but would not be refunding anything. Basically we would be out about $3000 and we did not even stay here a week. We also have now incurred medical bills and many other expenses. Nobody will talk to us or offer any sort of resolution. It is extremely concerning that a major health and safety issue is just being completely ignored. Do not live here or any Dobler management property.

I have been here for a while now and it started pretty well. But recently it became a nightmare. There are several loud vehicles here and alot that passes the property every day at all hours. Including nights. Also we are dealing with really loud neighbors and also some that smokes cigarettes and cannabis and there is complaints put in but nothing changed. Even emailed corporate but have not received any response of the situation. Its nice apartments and the office staff are nice but under the conditions i have to live i cant recommend it.

The sign at the entrance boasts 'luxury living'. Really? CONSTANT noise from children, heavy street traffic noise, gardeners & leaf blowers, hydraulic motors from industrial businesses, delivery trucks barreling through the property, trash trucks, sirens, & other noise from inconsiderate residents. Urban life at its worst. So noisy! And god forbid if the weather turned warm & you had to open windows - the noise really became unbearable. Some of it had to do with the unfortunate physical location and layout of that place, but a LOT of it was due to the management's refusal to deal with residents who broke the noise rules. Also not 'luxurious' is the fact that they got rid of the garbage disposals back when they renovated. They simply 'got tired of maintaining them'. Garbage disposals are pretty basic kitchen equipment. But nope, not there. The crappy washers and dryers that the units have are noisy and low capacity so if you need to wash anything bigger than a towel you will have to go to the local laundromat. Their website boasts of garages (there are none), pantries (there are none), fireplaces (only in the 2-bath units), and other non-existent features. The playground and the pool are situated right in the middle of the property, so no matter where you go on the property you had to listen to the constant screaming of children. No way to escape it. The no-smoking policy was a joke. I still had smoke from my neighbor's patio apartment wafting onto my patio & into the apartment & there were cigarette butts on the ground outside. Some residents and their guests smoked on the landing by their apartment. No consequences at all. I prayed for the day I could move out. With rent gouging going on in this area due to demand being high, it's no small feat to find something decent that is available. But thank God it happened! That place was horrible, unless maybe you are deaf or you simply are never home during the day. Don't believe 5-star reviews. They must be hand-picked by Management to shine a more flattering light on what life here is like. High price, low quality. That's Abbey Lane.

I did a lot of research before renting an apartment and toured at least 20 and none of them felt right. A co-worker of mine recommended this place to me. I didn't even know it was here. She had a friend who lived here a couple years ago. When I called for availability they didn't have any. I came by and they showed me their model and I fell in love! It was exactly what I was looking for, the right location, the price and the apartment itself is exactly what I was looking for . I waited 2 months until something opened up and as soon as it did I submitted my application ( I had it all ready ) . Ive been here for a few months now and It feels like home .The whole process was so easy, the ladies in the office were so helpful. I work down the street so I can come home for lunch. It's just perfect!

This property is lovely. Looks like a little village. The amenities are amazing. The staff is always friendly and willing to help. If you are looking for quiet comfortable living at an affordable price then rent at Abbey Lanes apartment.

Out looking for a new home? I suggest Abby Lane Apartment Homes. Beautiful roomy homes, its definitely something worth going to look at if you are on the hunt. Shopping is great and a close to a lot of restaurants also. Enjoy going to workout in the fitness room. Very quite here.

Both our cars were hit and run victims, our door had been kicked in previously resulting in a crack that went through the deadbolt's screw holes and made it useless, there was black mold in our bathroom ceiling vent that had been making us sick for months, and you can't leave your windows open without smelling cigarette smoke every night.

I could write a 45-page essay on how bad the head manager is at this place, Liya , very rude. The apartment was ok, very dark and a lot of broken things. Carpets were off-gassing when I moved in a couple years ago and they gave me terrible headaches to the point that i could not live in my own home for some time. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.

Hi I live in the abbey lane apartments, I really like them, I have been living here for about a year and 3 months an love it. I like that everything is very close an the location is perfect I work in gig harbor so I don't need to drive far, an after work I usually go on a jog to chambers bay which is only 10 mins away. I really like it here every one is friendly I don't plan on moving out soon. It is a gated community you will really get that safe feeling when you drive in, it's very spacious but one thing I don't like is the recycling bins get full after a little while so there isn't room to put your things in there sometimes, but other than that I love this place an it's affordable I recommend Abbey lane for you
