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

Awesome Staff

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.

Overlook is a great place

since we move to Magnolia we being very happy with our apartment amenities and the service from the lease office the best Saniya, Kirsten Anastasia and Christina always there to help us in any inconvenient . unfortunately our up stairs neighbor is very loud. , but we decide to stay just because we can not compare the attentions what offer Overlook. easy to find parking, bus service in just a few blocks, grocery store close in 5 min.... fitness center, sauna and safe place.

Good place to live and reasonable price

I love Magnolia and I like my apartment. It is big, comfortable and although the construction is old and light, the monthly rent is reasonable. I like the Web Portal and the Maintenance system. I only wish the parking garage was internally connected with the elevators

Fun Environment

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

We love it here

The Overlook is so friendly Especially the assistant community director Keirsten She is always in the office helping our neighbors and seems like she is always going out of her way to get to know the residents The Overlook is also super dog friendly Plenty of spots to take your pup and its right down the street from an off leash dog park. We love the Overlook so much that we moved from the first floor to the 5th floor for the awesome views Can't beat the price for a view like these.

Fantastic place to live I'd recommend to anyone

Staff are responsive and helpful and maintenance is done more quickly than I have ever experienced.

Overlook is conveniently located to two bus routes and it is easy to get to ballard, freemont, and belltown I love living here

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.

Well maintained apartments, with great staff

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.

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, 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

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.
