The Slate

There have been car break ins (smashing car windows) 2 weeks consecutively in the same parking lot in the general same area, where the building light is out of order hence being very dark. Management said they would fix it and double check that the lights out here work. It's been 2 weeks since and the building light is not fixed. Plus little to no security cameras and lack of effective security. The least they can do is make sure it is well lit especially with rent being high in this economy. This is not a safe and secure location. Tbh no where is safe anymore and no one seems to care about safety unless they live there.

Unprofessional and rude management that will squeeze your last dime for their new corporate owner. Run and go to any other apartment complex in Bellevue.

I live here and recently had a problem with a door that needed immediate attention. Even though it was small and they were very busy they took the time to understand my situation and reacted very quickly. This is in fact not uncommon as they have always answered the call on any issue, but this was above and beyond and they treated it as if it was as important to them as it was to me. Thank you so much Staff!

They can change the outside & what you can see but it’s what you can’t see that is the problem. Pipes are so old that they keep bursting (it ruined table linens from my great-grandmother- over 100 years old!), sinks back up constantly, heating/cooling system rattles & the electrical system is so old, I’m worried it’s a fire waiting to happen. The manager is not very nice & gave my key to strangers to come into my place when I asked her to wait until I get there in less than 10 min. Walls are not insulated so you can hear & smell what’s going on at your neighbors. Candles burning, dinner cooking or burning, smoking cigarettes & smoking other stuff. I had to explain to my ex when he brought my son back from his visit that the smell was not by me or my boyfriend from my apartment but a neighbor.

I've lived here almost a year and am ready to live somewhere else. Parking is okay. Management (in my very limited interaction) is fine. Trash is picked up regularly, and I've never had a bad interaction with a neighbor. I'm not a huge fan of my actual apartment but I've never had any issues with it. All in all, this place is fine. There is nothing special about it, but if you're looking for a place to live, it'll do.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Let's start with the first day I tried to move in, we had a set time for me to come get the keys and they closed the office that day without contacting us. So I drove all the way out there to find a note on the door letting us know they were closed for the day and the next day. Once I had a man come to my door at 12:30 at night and knock for about 10 minutes. I was terrified. He never said who he was so of course I never let him in. The next day I found out he was a maintenance man coming in the middle of the night unannounced. Another time I had a maintenance man bust into my house unannounced while my two sisters (who are minors, middle & high school - able to stay home alone) were in there alone. My sisters called me and put him on the phone and I asked him to wait to come in until I got there (I was on my way home) and he said if they did not let him in they would call the police. He said it was an emergency but it was not. So they sent a woman from the office (a stranger) to be in there with him and my sisters. The worst thing was when the apartment building directly next to me burned down due to electrical wiring failure (because the buildings were built in 1971 and have not been updated since, I have the official fire department report). Photos below. I told them I needed to move because it was unsafe to live there and it was very damaging to my mental health. I am already diagnosed with depression, PTSD and have lots of trouble sleeping. They would not let me move. I gave them plenty of notice and was being very reasonable with them but they would not let me leave without a penalty meanwhile they had let my previous roommate leave with no fee, no notice and no damage to her credit months before. The office has never once been understanding about me being uncomfortable living there after the fire, even after a second incident where the fire department was called again another night. This is a horrible place to live with an even worse staff. Do not be deceived by the cheap rent, it is not worth putting your life, your family's lives or your pet's life at risk to live here.

Creekwood Apartments are very affordable basic apartments. The location is excellent -- near the interstate and some very nice parks and a relatively short commute to downtown. The apartments themselves (at least my two-floor two-bedroom) are spacious without a lot of the bells and whistles that make other apartments less affordable. The two pools are nice and well maintained. Parking can be a bit of a struggle in some parts of the complex. What I would caution you about is the fees. In lieu of a refundable deposit there is an application fee. Similarly, when I considered getting a cat I learned that there was a non-refundable pet fee and additional pet rental. I understand that they need to cover the potential damage that the pet might cause but the amounts seemed excessive. When I really learned about their fees was when I terminated my lease early. Even though I gave them more than the required notice they still filed a claim against me for over $500 for early termination and the file that they provided the collection agency included false statements. I would steer clear of Creekwood.

Creekwood is a very clean, quaint community. With 2 beautiful pools, a playground, and picnic tables scattered throughout thier spacious lawns, it's perfect for families. The apartments are spacious and well kept, with great insulation that drowns out noise and keeps utilities low! The office staff is pleasant, and communicates well with tenants to inform of any issues in the community such as construction or working on water pipes. The complex is in a great location as well, being only minutes from downtown, yet has a great suburban feel and beautiful parks. The nearby schools have great reviews and happy students, along with school bus access everywhere. I love living here, and highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to live, just come look around, you won't regret it.
