Lack of Basic Functionality and Unjustified Luxury Pricing

The Dexter-side entry door has remained broken for months, forcing residents to walk around the block just to enter the building. This is not just an inconvenience—it’s a daily frustration that reflects poor upkeep of core infrastructure. The callbox/intercom system has been nonfunctional for over a year. Guests, delivery drivers, and residents continue to face issues with access, security, and convenience. This is a basic necessity in any modern apartment building. There is no support for air conditioning installations, which was especially felt last summer when rental AC services were removed entirely. Most buildings in this price range provide in-unit systems or assistance with summer cooling. There is no regular or visible window cleaning schedule, which affects both resident experience and the overall impression of the property. The fitness center is too small for the building’s occupancy, often overcrowded and unusable during peak hours—hardly what one would expect in a luxury apartment. The bowling alley—marketed as the crown jewel of amenities—is frequently out of order, making it unreliable at best.

Excellent living, staff, and amenities at Westlake Steps. Jon, Brandon, Marena, and Grace are the best.

Best Place to Live

Living here for more than 2 years now. This apartment have best of everything: close to downtown, just opposite to lake union, just couple of transit stops from groceries, building amenities are best(not sure if any other apartment in Seattle offer bowling alley), great management and last but not least community events.
