My family loves Harbor Steps a lot! most especially my son Lennox🤩 Our balcony has a breathtaking view of the steps, flowers, fountain, sea view and his favorite to look at first thing in the morning is the "Hammer Man" that is just right in front of our balcony😍 The positive vibes that Harbor steps offers us are priceless which obviously reflects the big smile of my son. The best service from the moment we apply up to the present are outstanding! The ideal family community!

I've been a resident at Harbor Steps for over 7 years and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The management team is consistently on-site and very approachable, friendly, and transparent. The location is unbeatable, offering stunning Seattle views, convenient access to wonderful restaurants right in the building, and walkability to all of downtown Seattle. The maintenance staff is always prompt with service requests, and the pricing has been extremely fair, making it a great place to call home!
