Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

If you are just moving from India to Seattle/Bellevue - this place along with Woodland commons and Madison bellevue would be your best bet and probably the one people would recommend. Foothill wins among all due to its floor plan, access restricted entry & elevator in some buildings. Pros: 1. Good floor plan- spacious, good ceiling height. Building 10, 11 have views of downtown bellevue, especially if it is facing south or west. 2. Very nice usable Gym/pool 3. Awesome location near 148th Fredmeyer/chaat house/apna bazaar shopping area and Downtown bellevue 4. Great maintenance staff, leasing staff - kudos to Lizet, Iraq, Shania and Soroush. 5. Very safe - i know there were some package thefts but in general the place is very safe. We were not in our apartment for few months and it was untouched when we came back. 6. 95% Indians mostly working in Microsoft or Amazon. Plenty vanpools etc. It matters especially if you are new to USA and you feel more comfortable in Indian crowd(very personal trait, eventually it wont matter, but it did matter to us in the first year we immigrated) Cons: 1. Some apartments have floor noise both from above and below(cracking sound when you walk) 2. No parks in walking vicinity - all you have is within community to stroll around. 3. Rents are among the highest in the area for garden communities. I see some reviews on how foothill charged for move -out. It is funny since i don't understand why people forget labor charges in US. We moved twice within foothill and they charged us standard rate - carpet cleaning and apartment cleaning. If you want to even save 200-300 bucks at move out, and spend your time and effort tying to save this much, the joke is on you. When you get an apartment you get it in pristine condition. So when you move out, how can you expect that the next occupant will do good with your level of your cleaning? Especially funny since a lot of people who live in Foothill are engineers earning much more per hour than they want to blame foothill for. :)
