Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

The leasing/manager team at The Merc are all incredibly kind people who work hard to create the best apartment living experience. The apartment always smells great and is clean which is always a plus. Events are constantly planned for socializing and holidays are never missed as they put out treats and even cards to use for all residents. On-site gym is open 24 hours, coffee machine in the lobby, and carts are available to use for carrying up heavy items to your unit. I definitely recommend choosing The Merc if you're looking for an apartment in Bothell!

My husband and I have lived at the Merc for over 4 years now, and we wouldn’t want to rent anywhere else! The location is absolutely incredible, right near walking and biking trails as well as a vibrant downtown that still gives you a small town feel. The apartments themselves are spacious and modern without sacrificing utility and the views on all sides are lovely! The amenities are great, we love using the rooftop in the summers. I feel very safe here as well. The staff are always friendly and helpful and make it a pleasure to live here!
