A few days ago, I lost my phone, and it was picked up by someone who was living at Arete. I knew this because I had the "find my phone" feature on my watch. I could see that it was in the building, but where to begin looking? That's when Bethany stepped in. She was the manager on duty. She couldn't have been more helpful in locating exactly which room the phone was in and getting hold of the person (who was at work) to return it to her office. The tenant gladly did. A big thank you to her too.... Nice people in that building. I am a Kirkland resident and glad to have neighbors like this. Read More

Put in a request to fix some lights and some other things in the kitchen and within 24 Hours they sent a very professional individual that helped me sort out the issues I had. They were very quick and polite. Great Service!

I am always told by the office that they just had something cleaned so it won't be cleaned again for some long amount of time. I have found broken beer bottles and vomit in the stairwell, and have been harassed by homeless in fromt of the apartment complex. I won't let my son leave the building alone. It's not safe.

Hallways are carpeted, but pets often have issue making it outside before they urinate. Hallway carpets are stained and smell, as a result. The Property management group also leases apartments to corporate entities, that hire their own cleaning crews and such that Arete management has no control over. These individuals have access to the building, though they do not live there. Cleaning crews also leave bags of trash in the hallways as they clean the Corporate rooms, and get confrontational when... asked to move the garbage inside the door. Simply not worth it. The worst of all Apartments in the area. Read More

I would not recommend living here. Management does not enforce the rules or abide by the lease. Management does what they want violating terms of lease by renting out common areas (roof couch and bbq) without notice to private parties allowing strangers (unscreened people) into the secure building to freely roam our halls and living spaces putting us all at risk and monopolizing the elevator.
Very disatisfied.
