I lived at Homestead Apartments when it was Rainier Meadows I stayed there for a long time it was sad that I had to leave due to job location. I love everything about Homestead Apartments the management team, as well as their maintenance team. They work with you with what ever it is you need, very kind, helpful, and compassionate. Homestead Apartments is very clean, very quiet place. Great location grocery store right across the street as well as other stores. School bus stops right in front of the apartments. I LOVE HOMESTEAD APARTMENTS! Kaeli Pugsley is an amazing manager I love her very welcoming and very helpful highly recommend Homestead Apartments amazing place to live . I love their maintenance team when something needs to be fixed they are on it!
