We only left for commuting reasons... there was literally no other reason to leave this place. Brian was a saint -- he responded promptly to any issues or questions we had. Maintenance request? Taken care of right away. I have never received that kind of service anywhere else. I even suggested a rug in front of the elevator (I slipped on a puddle) and Brian had one put in. And lastly... I erringly sent my keys down the garbage chute and he went down and fished them out of the garbage for me. Did I mention he was a saint?
Here's what else we liked about living here:
+ Right by the QFC
+ Fitness center was clean and sufficient for our needs
+ Had composting, recycling bins, and easy trash disposal
+ Tall ceilings, nice appliances, carpet in bedroom easy to keep clean
+ Indoor mail and Amazon locker for packages
+ Gated garage with bike storage if you're into that sort of thing
+ Rooftop area was nice during summer. Has a grill.
+ Low-key, quiet area with short walking distance to pharmacy, grocery, cafés, bakery. Short driving distance to I-405 or the Park-and-Ride.
+ Good construction. Occasionally heard a neighbor sneeze or laugh, but no one got that rowdy.
+ Pet-friendly
+ I always felt safe and undisturbed
The only con was that our apartment always seemed dark because the window faced a hill, and I sure wish they had balconies/porches.

Believe it or not, I have yet to actually move in... our lease starts March 1st, so I will update this review in 6/mo. This is just my overall initial reaction. Hannah in the leasing office has been great! My girlfriend and I looked at Saskia at Beardslee Crossing, Woodin Creek and another place, but for the price, location and overall quality of Emerald Crest, our choice was a no-brainer. Granite countertops, pendant lights w/LED lighting throughout the unit, one overly large deep sink, modern stainless steel appliances, faux wood flooring throughout the home (not in bedroom), modern Samsung washer and dryer, soft close cabinets, etc. the place is very, very nice. I actually came back for another tour of the unit I got approved for just so I could see it again. Lol. Very much looking forward to the next 18/mo here.
I moved in May 2020 and I only lived here for a year, but if I could, I would have lived here longer! From the start which is an apartment tour to the end of my lease term, everything including the manager, the room, the community, the building itself, and maintenance team was amazing. Apartment was always clean and the maintenance team or the manager were always quick to fix any problems or answer any concerns. The room itself is spacious and I loved the huge windows that let the sunlight come through and allow me to see the pretty view. The common space on each floor and the rooftop were also nice places to relax or just hang around.
Trash space was always pretty neat. They also have Amazon Hub and other places that can store the package which was nice and safe. Even if my package was left outside at the entrance, I have never experienced stolen/missing package which I think is a tell tale sign of how safe the community is.
Overall, I would recommend this place if you are looking for a clean, safe and convenient apartment!

Moved here about six months ago and have had a wonderful experience! The maintenance team has been very helpful and quick to fix any issues we've had. Management is also very easy to get a hold of and very accommodating! An added bonus has been the monthly news letters in the elevator along with small gifts to all the units around the holidays. The apartments themselves are a suitable price seeing as they are very clean and modern. The location is fantastic as well.

We have been living here for almost 5 months and it's been great! Maintenance is quick if needed and the property manager Kaitlyn is awesome! She responds very quickly to any questions we may have and she is very kind! The location is awesome and the building is very secure! Love living here!
I’ve lived in a LOT of apartments, and this is by far the best one. The management is awesome and super accommodating, and always responds quickly. Usually I have to email, then call multiple times, then show up in person and stand there until someone acknowledges that I exist and actually do live there. I’ve lived here over a year now, and never once had that issue. Also have never had an issue with electricity/water/appliances, and the one or two very minor issues were fixed within 24 hours of submitting my work order. By far the best place I’ve lived!

Travis should wear a cape because he’s a maintenance hero! I’ve been a resident at Emerald Crest for just over 3 years now and he has consistently provided excellent service, problem-solving and commitment to his craft. Even during the pandemic, he was here every day for us! This time, I had a maintenance issue that came up that required some perseverance and creative problem solving, and Travis went above and beyond to accomplish what needed to be done. He said “if there’s a will there’s a way”. His positive attitude, ready smile, responsiveness, consistency and quality of jobs and commitment to this community is admirable! Beyond thankful for your ongoing and often thankless behind-the-scenes work you do for us here at Emerald Crest. I’ve also been consistently grateful to be a resident here at Emerald Crest.
What an amazing property - brand new apartment in Bothell with some incredible floor plans! The leasing team has been amazing in helping me find my wife and I our new home!
