We are current residents of Alder Flats, and have had a great experience. Office personnel are accommodating, and responsive in communication. Everyone on staff, from the office to the cleaning crew, is pleasant and has a friendly smile. The premises are well maintained, and work orders are promptly completed. The neighborhood feels safe, and we are not afraid to walk our dog at all hours of the night. The current manager has gone to great lengths to ensure safe parcel delivery and provide email reminders.

Great location, only 10 minutes from downtown. The apartment has a spectacular view of the mountain and the city, "enjoyed 4th of July and the fire work from my window." Friendly and helpful staff. Universally designed building meaning people with all abilities and disabilities can use it easily: step-less entrance, wide doors, reachable faucets, wooden floor ...etc. AND IT IS PET FRIENDLY!!!
