I loved living here

We have lived at this community for about 2 1/2 years. We started in a 2x2 then transferred to a 1 bedroom. During that time we fell in love with the location, the home and the staff! The maintenance team is always so cheerful and kind. They are super quick and efficient. The leasing staff was the reason we decided to move there in the first place. Saniya and Kiersten were warm and welcoming and made us feel like we belonged. On top of that, the homes were so spacious. We had lived in studio before moving to Overlook and the price for a studio was comparable to a one bedroom. So a lot more space for the same amount of money! PLUS, we look out on to the Ballard Bridge. I love our view, I love our home, and I love this community. We are extremely sad to be leaving but we hope the next person who moves into our home shares the same joyful and wonderful experience that we had. Thank you Overlook for being our favorite place to live! We will miss you!

Excellent place to call home!

We recently moved into our apartment, and it has been a great experience! From the moment we met the leasing staff for a tour they have been nothing but AMAZING! They are all so friendly, make sure you are taken care of, and just all around really great people. The process to apply and set up the resident portal was simple, fast and streamlined. Once we started the move in, there were a couple of minor repairs but were taken care of within an hour of submitting a request with maintenance. The maintenance staff are fast, efficient, and take extra precautions during the pandemic which was excellent! The community has all the amenities we were looking for, including being super pet friendly! The leasing staff is always ready with a quick treat for the pups in addition to making sure the residents are taken care of. We really can't say enough good things about this community. The Overlook at Magnolia is now home and we are so happy to be here! Special thanks to the leasing staff for being so awesome! You guys ROCK! Cheers, Cory, John, and Puppies

They are definitely fast and want to ensure your home is in the best condition possible! Thank you again for the heart warming review. We are so happy you chose Overlook to be your new home. You guys rock! Also, I walked by your patio and I love the yellow patio set! Please come by with the pups sometime again soon! If you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Friendly Staff and a Quiet Neighborhood

This was my first residence upon moving to Seattle and it was a great experience. The parking is relatively cheap, though I didn't own a car and you can usually find street parking above. The resident gym is small but sufficient and generally well maintained and respected, along with the other common spaces. The response time of the staff was always quick and any issues we had with appliances were fixed within hours without us even knowing. The 2 BR 2BA apartment was plenty big enough and held good value for the cost, though the interior could use a facelift. I did like the quiet, residential neighborhood of Magnolia quite a bit. As a non-driver the hill was often a deterrent to leaving, but the bus lines to downtown are convenient enough and access to Magnolia/Ballard bars and restaurants was relatively easy by bike. Overall, a fantastic first residence in Seattle.

Hi Patrick, Thank you so much for your amazing review! We appreciate your kind words about our community and our team. Our team works hard to provide comfortable homes and excellent customer service. Our maintenance team is amazing. They push themselves to complete all work orders within 24 hours. They are just simply amazing! I love our apartment homes too! They are very spacious, unlike some of the newer homes that are being built. Our hills can be tough, but they provide us with the amazing views from our homes :) We miss you guys! If you ever need a home again, please know we always have one for you! Thank you, Saniya Regmi Community Director

Still Happy

We had just moved into our new apartment. We previously lived in another apartment in the same complex. The transfer was really smooth and easy. We ended up getting sick during our move and the staff was really flexible with us. There was an issue with the deposit refund but the office staff rectified the issue immediately. As for the new apartment, we love it! It does have a bit of outdated appliances but that maintenance and staff have been reasonably accommodating. When I am frustrated they take the time to actually listen. Any place you live is going to have its own frustrations, what matters is having a staff who cares. That is definitely Overlook.

Nice Option in Magnolia

Come for the views, stay for the peace and quiet (and closet space)! I've lived here 2+ years and love my little place. The views are fantastic, the apartments are big, private, and actually have enough closet space - all very rare at this (or any) price point in the area. Quiet - the neighborhood is lovely and quiet, no construction or cranes nearby (coming from LQA this is amazing), the staff deals with noise complaints quickly. Location - 10 minutes to downtown, lovely neighborhood, Discovery Park is less than a mile away. Parking - a bit cramped but better than other parking in the area. Staff - the staff is wonderful. Very friendly, very knowledgable, and huge dog lovers - about every dog in the complex knows that a visit to the office means treats, treats, and lots of affection from the staff.

Wow! What a place!

Soniya, Kiersten, Ian, and Anthony (manager know training) are absolutely amazing! Best customer service ever! Very attentive to every resident. You’re not “just a resident”. You feel like ‘Norm walking into Cheers’ being greeted by name. It’s a nice feeling. They treat you as part of the Overlook family. Always on top maintenance issues (maintenance gentlemen are top notch!!). The apartments are comfortable and well-kept. Emails regarding questions or concerned are answered promptly. The staff is always there to assist with any needs. As long as you are a good tenant, they will make sure you’re happy and at home at Overlook. Recommend this residence to anyone looking for a nice place to live; especially if you’re a young professional like myself. Rents are reasonable, options for parking, beautiful views (depending on units), and very pet friendly. Come and check out Overlook experience!

Lived here a year and still enjoy it!

We've lived in our apartment a little over a year. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Their maintenance crew is responsive and consistent! They truly treat you like family here. The noise levels can be a little loud but it isn't constant. The parking is probably my least favorite but that's because we opted to not pay for our own space. So public parking can be competitive sometimes. Other than that, I highly recommend this place!

Helpful Staff

My bf and I are moving in together and I am coming from Tacoma, him from Bellevue - we both work extensive hours and the staff was incredibly helpful from day one. From showing us the apartments, walking me through the rent app set up on my phone and helping us to find exactly the floor plan that fit our budget and we were happy with. We have not moved in yet, but the things that impressed me were: how clean the complex is overall, how friendly all the staff were every time I called freaking out a bit wondering how we were going to manage the move without missing work, setting up utilities, etc. We have a little dog and the pet rent is super reasonable and everyone on the staff has been amazing. I"ll leave another review after we move in. Looking forward to calling Overlook our new home!

I love living here

I think this apartment is a great find I feel like the price is really good compared to what else is out there. Most places offer newer amenities for the same price, but it's also an impersonal, dog-discouraging, concrete jungle, with no square footage, and no grass or parking. I love our leasing office team. We have grass and trees around us, they are very dog-friendly, and this place feels like a Community rather than a box in which to sleep and store my stuff. It feels like a home. I always recommend this place to people.

Great place for the price

I absolutely love my view of Seattle - I see the Ballard bridge, north Queen Anne, and the fisherman's terminal from my kitchen window. Nothing can really beat that. But overall, maintenance is fast and friendly, all of the appliances work, and the office staff are super helpful and positive. The place is a bit on the older side, but everything works and the layout of the apartment is a little eclectic with personality. Not quite so sterile as some of the newer apartments are.

Great Place to Live

When I was looking for my next apartment, I knew what I wanted and that was at Overlook at Magnolia. I enjoy the quietness, my unit is on the ground floor, so no need to enter a building, my garage is next to my unit, which is so convenient My apartment s an older unit that needs some updating, but most of all it's AWESOME Reminds me of growing up, with the popcorn celling and old fashioned wood doors, it feels like home The staff at Overlook are AMAZING They are super responsive, listen to your issues and work with you to resolve them. Always on point when you submit a maintenance request They make you feel like family Overall, the things I like are the quiet neighbors around me, small town feel, riding my bike to Discovery Park, 15 minute bus ride to downtown. It truly is a GREAT PLACE TO LIVE

My wife and I moved here from VA. We were welcomed into the Weidner Apartments with a lot of support and friendliness. The staff provided a beautiful transition into a wonderful good size apartment. We have been checked on by the staff and they greet us and our puppy with open arms each time we go to the office. I adore this apartment complex and hands down best staff I have ever dealt with within a renting community. ?

I'm grateful I found this community. Pricey for no view.

The cost is high, but apt size is plenty sq ft. There were minor cosmetic issues few crumpled Venetian blinds and loose baseboards but the main thing is the 45 per month fee for my 8 lb adult cat. Shouldn't advertise pet friendly and have an absurd pet rent in addition to advertised rent.

Let it be known that I really enjoy living here and the staff are wonderful. My only qualm is the state of the gym. The treadmills are the only piece of cardio equipment I can get a good workout on. The ellipticals and stationary bikes are pretty run down and don't feel good to use. I would love to see them replaced with more recent models, though I understand those things aren't cheap

I enjoy living here, but most of all, THE STAFF IS AMAZBALLLZZZZ. I can't put a bigger emphasis on how great and friendly the staff is. I love love love love them, and its hard not to Im a college student and this is an awesome apartment for my roommates and I It's a lot bigger than we anticipated it would be Overall its GREAT. I ranked parking and construction at a 4 not because its not amazing BUTTT because after 5 finding parking on the street can be a bit hectic but you will find spot guaranteed. I have a spot which makes things so easy for myself, so that also is an option As far as construction this is obvi not a brand new building so there are things that are just a bit old. My favorite aspect of our apartment is the FIREPLACE Its so cute and trendy. I would highly advise this apartment to dog lovers and everyone else

Good value for price and location

Property is kept nice looking and is pet friendly with a couple locations spread out over the grounds that have poop bags and trashcans. Parking can be kind of spotty depending on the day and the time, its nice to have a designated parking spot but the price for the spot is a little expensive. The complex itself is pretty well maintained but definitely older and has its issues. The units are big which is nice but definitely outdated. Noise between units is pretty minimal but noise in the complex can get a little loud if you have your windows open and we've had some issues with smelling cigarette smoke when people are smoking on their balconies and it comes in through open windows and doors.

I like living here. It's an older but well-maintained complex, and that is part of its era appeal apartment layouts are similar, but each has something different. I love the views, and it also has a great community of pet owners and their animals.

Great property and location

Property is maintained impeccably. Front desk staff are always available and follow through with requests. Excellent property and community, though one request regarding guidelines honoring the quiet times 10pm -8am, thinking it may be a good idea for staff to send out email reminders on a monthly basis. Building is solid, so seems that tenants may think they cannot be heard while working on home projects late in to the eve. and a.m. and don't realize they can indeed be heard by those trying to sleep during those hours. Otherwise awesome neighbors and great location too.

We love living here

I would let them know this is a wonderful apartment complex with friendly staff, well designed layouts but parking is terrible. Unless you can afford a parking spot garage its a fight for parking situation on the street.

Loving the Overlook Magnolia Apartments

I moved in 3 months ago and I'm Loving it I moved from my last apartment because of issues with thin walls, parking, lack of upkeep with the grounds and apartments etc, so my expectations were just a new place that is better than the last. I've found that my expectations have been blown away. The staff is Great The walls actually block noise. I hardly hear any neighbors. The neighbors are friendly and very dog friendly and the apartments, grounds and office are all kept up very nicely. I could not be happier and plan to stay for a long time.

Slightly Above Average

Overall, Weidner does a great job of upkeep. A lightbulb went out in the hallway, and it was fixed the next day. The facilities are all pretty nice, including the gym area. My only complaint is that the grounds keep getting messed up by dogs, but this isn't necessarily Weidner's fault. When the bark was first laid though, the groundskeepers didn't even bother to sweep the excess bark off the sidewalk back into the grounds. That was pretty unprofessional. Again, not necessarily Weidner's fault, but one recommendation is Weidner sets higher expectations for the groundskeepers. I would recommend Weidner

Great Place to Call Home

The Overlook Apartments are a great choice in Seattle. Close in, but without the higher prices of other city options. Apartments are also bigger than in other parts of the city. The staff is super accommodating and made our move here sight unseen easy and welcoming.

We love our apartment

The staff is helpful and maintenance requests are completed quickly. We have one of the non-renovated two bedrooms, and we leased the apartment having only seen a model beforehand. Even though it's a little outdated, we love how homey it feels, and how much light the living room gets. There is SO much storage space, and the bedrooms are the perfect size. It's a great place to live

Serenity in Magnolia

I have really enjoyed living here for the past two years. For the most part, it has been quiet and peaceful. The office team is always cheerful and helpful. The maintenance team has responded to most of my requests in a very timely fashion and has always been very professional and courteous. My chief complaint is the fact the laundry vent empties into the garage right in my spot and I was never able to park my car in there. I've had to cover my bikes and other storage boxes too. It is old construction, so I am not sure what can be done about that. In the big scheme of things, it was merely an inconvenience, but not a show stopper. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my decision to live at Overlook at Magnolia rented sight unseen .

Great place, not so great neighbors

I love the location and all of the staff here. However some of the residents are selfish, loud, and rude. As an example, one lady will take up every single washing machine at once and tell anyone who wants to do theirs that they have to wait until hers are all done, several hours from now before she has even put her clothes in the washer to begin with . If my neighbors had more common courtesy and respect for others, this place would be ideal.

Overlook has been a great experience so far

I love the professionalism of the staff, the community is kind of neighborly and maintenance requests always get handled in a timely fashion Location and taking the bus to work downtown couldn't be easier even though parking our one car on the street is always a bit of an adventure. It's an older community 70's or 80's so the walls can be a bit thin at times and some fixtures can definitely use an update but nothing that has been a detriment to our experience. Overall I've been really happy with the quality of my stay

Large, private fabulous view. I really enjoy living here.

I love my apartment. I have the best view of Fisherman's terminal and the Ballard Bridge. It's a large, well laid out 1 bedroom apartment. I have a huge balcony, with all the privacy I can ask for. Though it's an older building, this just adds to the charm. The staff is super friendly and goes above and beyond always. They keep the building and the property super clean.

So Far, So Good

It's an older complex, so you have to bear that in mind. They have updated recently. The upside is I have a fabulous view and a nice, large balcony. My building is fairly quiet, with the exception of the upstairs neighbors who like to listen to their stereo with the bass cranked up occasionally, but you'd find that in any apartment complex. They are on the top floor so they are probably not aware of how much sound especially bass travels downward. I am very impressed with the management here all my interactions with them have been friendly, positive and professional. They really go out of their way to help you.

Spacious Living and Pet Friendly

Our apartment space is very spacious, plenty of parking, pet friendly, quiet and great views. My only complaint is high utilities because they are shared per building-- like obnoxiously high utilities that raise your rent by 100 month. Watch out for this. The grounds do have a bit of dog poop and gardens should be done better to make the outside more appealing. We are a couple here who make good money but the rent is a bit much with utilities. Also another negative is the gym, it's VERY hot in there from all the skylights and the machines are all old, and it's extremely small.

Charges for garage and parking space

My rent is $1665, my parking is $95 monthly, I ve paid $1769 for rent and parking for the past two months, I keep getting emails and phone calls from the office stating I have a balance due on rent? I should have a credit. I was told washers and dryers were available and given an apartment with washer and dryer hook-ups, but told by maintenance I could not use it? false advertisement and false overage charges is not my ideal of community.
