I’m really happy to say that living in the Stencil apartments has been a wonderful and memorable experience, the management team has done a great job with creating a safe, clean and friendly environment that I enjoyed staying In the past three years! Now that it’s time to move on I wanted to thank Dynasty, Alicia and Nick (currently managing The Central apartments) for your continuous efforts to making The Stencil what it is today. I had an amazing time and you guys will definitely be missed!!
I've been here for seven months, and I feel grateful I found a home here. Great location, nice finishes, and most importantly, management has been awesome to work with on anything that comes up.
Seamless! The leasing agent was super helpful during the whole process and was very knowledgeable with all questions asked about the logistics. Besides some minor tech hiccups with getting the lease and portal set up, everything went perfectly. Don’t have 1 bad thing to say!

Although I ultimately found a home somewhere else, I had a wonderful experience with the Leasing Manager, Jacques. He is very good at what he does. He made extra time for me on more than one occasion as I tried to make a decision. He was so informative and always accessible. I felt like he went above and beyond for me, and I was very close to securing a rental from him. If you are looking for an an apartment in this area, I would definitely hook up with Jacques and take a look at his two properties.

Popping in to leave a five-star review for Mae. I initially booked in for a virtual tour of The Center Apartments and Mae went above and beyond, taking me down the street to The Stencil to show me a lovely one-bedroom unit. She even booked me in for an in-person follow up tour of the space while I was visiting Seattle. She had personal knowledge of the neighborhood and some great recommendations for places to visit. Thanks so much for your warmth and kindness, Mae!
I've lived at Stencil Apartments for the past two years. The community is very small, only 36 units I believe, and has always been intimate. I've never felt like common spaces were overly dirty or crowded. The roof was always a great retreat, and I don't think there were ever more than ten people up there.
I've had a good experience with Thrive Communities as well. I have had few issues in the past couple years, but when I have they have been quick to act and are always professional. The only oddity with the leasing office is it's shared in the Central (a block and a half away), so to speak to someone immediately, you need to walk to the other building, but that's only the most minor of inconveniences.
The neighborhood, while changing quickly, was perfect. More and more great restaurants and bars are coming to the area, and the proximity to downtown and Capitol Hill are close enough to not feel like a commute, but far enough away to get a respite from the hustle and bustle of busier areas, and the rent is super reasonable for the area (although with the fluctuating rents in the city, who knows if this will be true even six months from now).
I'd recommend the Stencil to anyone looking for a comfortable, quiet apartment! It's been a great experience for me.

Didn’t end up leasing anything here but the hospitality and professionalism displayed by Jacques during a scheduled tour was phenomenal. I was provided a thorough tour, had all my questions answered and was given more options for units than expected. The transparency and pace of it all was refreshing.
