I did not personally reside here, but a close friend did, and I visited frequently. That exposure alone was more than enough. Upon moving out of a spotless unit, my friend had their entire security deposit withheld and was charged additional fees on top of it. The justifications were repeatedly framed as “policy,” yet much of what was enforced appeared questionable at best and potentially unlawful.
This is not a home. It is a roughly 200 square foot unit, marketed as something far more livable than it truly is. Management is not on your side.
Their primary objective is to extract as much money as possible while residents occupy poorly maintained units. Maintenance is minimal, accountability is lacking, and tenant rights seem to be treated as optional rather than mandatory.
Every story I’ve heard about Sedona Apartments follows the same pattern. Excessive fees, aggressive enforcement, and a complete imbalance of power in favor of management. If you choose to engage with them, do so cautiously and document everything. Otherwise, the best advice is simple: avoid this property entirely.

Very safe and welcoming complex. It has wonderful utilities and a very understanding and helpful staff. This was my first experience having a place on my own and they made it very easy and quick. The walls are a little thin but other than that there isn’t much to complain about. Highly recommend!

Love the staff! The Office Staff care and they make the move-in process as smooth as possible. Housekeeping keeps the areas clean and looking very nice. Maintenance keeps on top of things wonderfully. The rooftop is so well maintained and it has a BEAUTIFUL view of the mountains. It's city living but it sure doesn't feel like it! You have easy access to Public Transit, shoppes, and restaurants. The gym and the Parcel Lockers are an added bonus.

In the few weeks that I have lived here, Sedona has exceeded my expectations! Located in a beautiful & clean neighborhood, it's central to a lot of shops, restaurants, and public transit lines. I love how housekeeping comes so frequently for the common areas. I've lived in a place without, and their effort here really shows.
My apartment has a ton of natural lighting, beautiful floors, and I don't hear a sound from anyone around.
..except for our kitchen fire alarms go off from time to time but I've noticed that's easily fixed by putting a lid on top of your pot/pan.
Everyone has been extremely friendly, and I always know where my package is going to be thanks to the package room located in the gym.
The fob access everywhere provides me with an extra sense of security, and you can tell maintenance really stays on top of it here.
Tristan was my leasing agent and he did great!
I can't wait to a read a book on the rooftop this summer. So grateful I found this place.

Have asked office staff repeatedly for help in getting some amount of advanced notice for when maintenence work is happening on the roof or on my floor and every time have been ignored, told that "there's no way for us to know" even though it's literally their own maintenance team, was told by a staff member that if the noise is disruptive that I should just work somewhere else (because I should definitely have to pay even more money to work elsewhere as a remote employee 🙃), and my favorite from last week was being told that "it shouldn't be that loud" - thank you for that...now that you have told me that it "shouldn't be that loud" it magically has gone away 😅.
The video is from this morning after over an hour of this noise being in the hallway. When I went out to ask Sedona's own maintenance team when they'd be done they said they didn't know and as you can imagine it pretty difficult to have a work meeting when this is how loud it is. It's just incessant noise that never ends and they 1) never warn residents 2) have never demonstrated an ounce of concern for those of us impacted who work from home and 3) despite well over a dozen attempts where I've asked for any kind of heads up so that I can relocate I get a "We'll try" and they have never contacted me a single time.
EDIT: Just received my lease renewal and they now want over $1,300 a month for a 210 square foot unit. While my friends who live in Cap Hill and Greenwood (actually desirable neighborhoods) are having their leasing office staff approach them about LOWERING their rent, Sedona has been increasing rent with each lease cycle and I'm now paying $250 more a month than when I first moved in.

I was one of the first residents in the new building at Sedona back in 2018 and I don't recommend living here.
For starters, it is the most poorly insulated building I've ever been in. I work from home and it is just a 24/7 cacophony of doors being opened and slammed, listening to dogs bark throughout the floor, hearing neighbors' music all day, noise from the roof, the daily 30 min long vaccuming session from housekeeping, screaming children, and now construction on two units on either side of me. This last one has been my breaking point. I explained to staff that I work from home and would appreciate notice as to when they will be working on units and of the multiple times they've been out, I only received one call from a staff member and it was made day of which didn't help me come up with alternative plans. And so I am now at the point of having to consider spending even more money to work at a community office space because I can't effectively work from my overpriced apartment.
There have been multiple safety issues that have arisen during the time I've lived here.
People steal food from the community kitchen so don't even bother using those if you do make the mistake of moving here.
There is dog piss everywhere; elevator, hallways, right outside of the front doors, and the roof. And people regularly throw their dog poop in the trash can by the elevators and it's disgusting.
I've had multiple packages go missing from the mail room that have never been recovered.
I get rent is disturbingly high in Seattle but you are better off going to a complex with more respectful residents and with staff who work to make the property worth living in.
