The apartment is acceptable, but the appliances are quite old, and the cabinets are sticky, requiring cleaning every other week. Regarding the property itself, we've had some unpleasant experiences. Our neighbors frequently argued loudly late at night, leading to one of them giving notice to move out. Additionally, our car was broken into, resulting in stolen items and everything being moved around.

As for the amenities, they are average. The gym is outdated, the pool was rarely open, and... maintenance work was done during the summer, so when it is opened we couldn't use. The spa has excessive chlorine levels.
The most problematic issue was the strong smell of marijuana from neighboring apartments, which permeated ours, making it unavoidable to inhale secondhand smoke.

While the maintenance team is proactive, they take around two days to address issues, and some problems, like the thermostat, remain unresolved. However, they are friendly and helpful.

I think the management is acceptable, but I find the pricing confusing, doesn't align with its quality. Read More

There are multitude of problems with this place; reports of residents’ cars being broken into while parked, walls, floors, and ceilings laughably thin, staff can be nice but extremely difficult to get a hold of, garbage is constantly overflowing, the chimneys aren’t cleaned so using the fireplace will just fill your entire unit with smoke, and finally just to top it all off smoking is allowed so if you live next to a smoker (as I currently am) expect your apartment to completely wreak of... cigarette smoke. This place is trashy and for the money they ask one can find immensely better apartments elsewhere. Read More

We applied for and got approved on an apartment. We asked for the leasing agreement multiple times with no response on the phone or via email. After two weeks our move in date was getting closer and still no leasing agreement, so we had to go with another apartment in the area. We told them this and they were happy to get back to us the same day that we forfeit our $400 deposit and application fee.

I don’t think the management is bad I just think some of the tenants are. Emerald Ridge doesn’t have a non smoking policy. This brings in smokers. The smell from the few that do smoke will engulf an entire apartment area. If Emerald Ridge was non smoking it would be a 5 in my opinion, the location is good, the management team is good, the maintenance team is good, most of the residents are good. It’s the lack of a non smoking policy that crushes this place.

Emerald Ridge great! Heather is so amazing!! Conveniently located just outside Downtown Bellevue, Emerald Ridge has a green, natural feel with parks and trails right across the street.
I'm so glad I moved here, very happy.
