I am posting anonymously but here is the rundown: 5 stars for: Management and maintenance! If you need to contact either of them you get responded to quickly and they handle things very fast. Easy to work with and pretty easy going. 2 stars for tenants/dirtiness: the floor I lived on had the dirtiest, loudest and rudest neighbors (dogs included...barking and whining at all hours non-stop) a neighbor who constantly slammed their door so loudly and angrily when at home that it was almost impossible to relax. One of the elevators was peed in by a dog often. And the floors and building were not ever clean despite a cleaning lady coming through on Tuesdays. All this results in 3 stars. If you need a place to stay at (not live) then this is a spot to consider as it is close to the Roosevelt Light rail, a few buses and Whole Foods and Safeway.

This place was fine, you get what you paid for. Make sure to carefully look at the floorplan for your room, mine was *small*, like *cannot fit EITHER a desk or a bed* small. That's mostly due to my floorplan though, other people had better rooms. The lock was a bit finicky but worked fine, the trash room often piled up, and the internet was quite bad. Those were all minor annoyances though, I have no major complaints. The location near Roosevelt station was *awesome*, and the building is close enough to groceries and restaurants. The rooftop terrace is great, and I liked the little gym up there; great views. Overall, I'd say it's a decent place if you're on a tight budget.

I don’t normally leave reviews however working with Jeremiah was such a great experience. While here at The Rise he was patient, understanding and answered any questions I had about living here. It was important for me to feel comfortable and safe in my home and Jeremiah made sure of it. I’d greatly consider renting from him again.

First off, love living here. The Rise is everything you'd need if you don't need much space. Second, Jeremiah is the man - I had a quick question and popped in the office. He looked busy as he was meeting with someone else at the time, but he didn't rush me off or tell me to come back. He assured me I wasn't bothering him, answered my question, and let me know he's always available if I needed anything. With management like that, you know you're in good hands. 👍👍

Update: they refunded my security deposit and didn't charge anything for the move out. Decent studios. But cleanliness is a major issue. I saw an unemptied drink cup in the gym that wasn't removed/cleaned for over a month. A broken treadmill in the gym was fixed after about 5 months. The on site management is nice and helpful. However, there's not much they can do. The higher management doesn't care and your problems will never be resolved. I barely stayed in the apartment during my 10 month lease. Never cooked anything. Didn't drill any holes in the walls. And I still got a my security deposit deducted on move out.
