Sal has been very helpful during the eventual hiccups that come with the moving process. Facilities were always clean. Leasing office was accessible and friendly. Maintenance always came within 1-2 days and when expected. Great place to live!

This is the best value apartment you can find in SLU near to meta amazon offices we are here for like 6 months and the experience is smooth, management team is top notch - naomi, Sal, josiah, oliver shoutout to these people for working tirelessly to make our experience even better. Leeward hosts events every month which is a good ice breaker if you wanna make new friends, it’s the gym and amenities that helped us making the decision of choosing leeward out of all the other options. They have their own resident app that helps in a lot of ways. Overall - you will not regret paying high rent here ( if you think it’s high for you) because living here is worth every cent. Highly recommended ( not a paid review 😆)

TL;DR: The Leeward Apartments is a near-flawless apartment complex that boasts class-leading amenities, friendly and attentive management and sleek, modern apartments. However, the lack of security and repeated theft in both the garage and secure bike storage pose a real concern for those with a passion for two wheels. ------------------------------ When rating apartment buildings that I've lived at, I typically break down my review into five categories and assign each of them a star. These categories include the apartment itself, the amenities, the staff, the security, and the price. 1. Apartment The actual unit where I resided in Leeward Apartments was near perfect, offering a sleek and minimalistic finish, modern amenities, in-unit washer and dryer, and even a mini-split AC unit (a rarity for even newer Seattle apartments). The soundproofing was also sublime, meaning little to no neighbor noise. Finally, while there were some quirks (dishwasher tripping the circuit breaker despite repeated maintenance), I genuinely think that this is the nicest apartment that I've lived in during my time in Seattle. 1/1 stars 2. Amenities The amenities at the Leeward Apartments are second-to-none within the area. Offering a truly full-sized gym with rows of stationary bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills, multiple spacious lounges, a rooftop deck with pet zone, and even a game room, this building is extremely will outfitted. Frankly, when looking at other apartment complexes nearby, Leeward easily wins out. 1/1 stars 3. Staff While living at the Leeward Apartment, the building underwent a change in management with Greystar making way for Shea around halfway through my stay. While Greystar was... well Greystar (iykyk), Shea was a breath of fresh air. Sal, Naomi, and Nicole (just to name a few) were a genuine pleasure to work with and were quite responsive. The building put on several seasonal events and the team kept the building looking clean, and in pristine condition. Shoutout to the maintenance team for also being quick to fix any issues. 1/1 stars 4. Security Unfortunately, security at the Leeward Apartments is where major issues arise. In short, in the two and a half year stay at Leeward Apartments, I've had my motorcycle stolen TWICE, my e-bike stolen once, and around 4-5 packages go missing. It appears that an organized ring of motorcycle thieves operate in this part of Seattle, as my motorcycle was stolen around the same time of the year in 2024 and 2025. Furthermore, in the early part of 2025, my e-bike was also stolen. Neither the bike or the motorcycle have been recovered. Furthermore, the building was constructed without strategic placement of surveillance cameras, and the on-site security has been useless at best. With all this being said, I would like to highlight the management's handling of the situation. Shea was quick to offer their apologies and were even able to cover the deductible on my insurance, both of which were appreciated. They also spoke about improving security in the garage in several meaningful ways, which I hope will help those who come after me. 0/1 stars Price: I would rate the cost of rent at Leeward Apartments as "fair" and to be honest, the rent increase was not the main reason for ending my stay. My open-style one bedroom apartment cost around $2,000, which is reasonable considering the atrocious pricing of downtown apartments in Seattle. 1/1 ------------------------------ Conclusion: Overall, my two and a half year stay at the Leeward Apartments was exemplary beyond the obvious theft issues. I strongly recommend this apartment to those working in SLU or the other nearby neighborhoods, as it has good access to Ballard and Fremont via the Freemont Bridge. The staff are wonderful and the units themselves are great. However, if you are a purveyor of the two-wheeled variety, be cautious of potential theft. As such, I would rate Leeward Apartments at a solid 4/5 score.

I first moved here in September of 2023. I visited all the apartment complexes in the surrounding neighborhood and Leeward was without a doubt a #1 contender. The indoor gym was better than any other apartment gym I've seen. The club room tripled as a place of work, a large venue to host parties in, and a relaxing place to unwind from a long days work with bocce ball, ping pong, billiards, tabletop games, or some retro arcade games. What really sold me was the amazing rooftop view that overlooks South Lake Union and has a panoramic view of the city. The roof top was an amazing place to see the Blue Angels during fleet week and the fireworks for the 4th of July. This only speaks to the amenities that the property offers. What really makes Leeward a staple apartment complex is the efforts from its amazing staff members and the increasingly friendly neighbors. Their community manager Naomi and maintenance supervisor Oliver, alongside their entire team, have drastically improved the community ever since Shea Apartments took over as the property management company. The building is now cleaner than it's ever been and it always smells amazing fresh walking through the hallways. The team is very quick to address any issues that affect individual neighbors and the property as a whole. One of the biggest issues the complex had was their absolutely disorganized package room. It felt like I spent 15-20 mins rummaging through the mess to try to find a package. But the team recently refurbished the room. They added multiple shelves and created a system to make it so simple to enter and find my package. I know all of our neighbors were extremely happy to see that problem resolved so thoroughly. I know its a long drawn review but I wanted to be as honest as I can be as I will soon sadly depart from this great community. My dog Watson and I made many friends and created many wonderful memories here. I know anyone who joins this community will have just as great of an experience here.

I was visiting someone who lives here, (and maybe I just got lucky) but we got a free breakfast served in the lobby. The rooftop also has amazing views, and the amenities seem to be up to the mark (though I didn't really use any). The managing community looks to be extremely proactive and like they want to make sure everyone living here is pleased and comfortable. Again, not a resident, but I really enjoyed my stay here.
