Arras Apartamentos

Maintenance is extremely nice and quick when it comes to responding to maintenance orders. Super thankful for such an amazing staff/team here at Arras.

The apartment I moved into is beautiful! Love the community space and the leasing office staff is helpful and friendly.

The location is quite convenient, and the floorplan and amenities are good.
The leasing team looks friendly, then some are not professional enough.

The apartments themselves are nice, with nice appliances and big closets, and this is a great place if you don't want to interact with neighbors. I lived here three years and hardly ran into anyone. But it is EXPENSIVE, like DOWNTOWN Bellevue expensive despite not being in downtown. Since the apartment changed corporate owners, we were told to renew our lease it would be a $400 increase in rent, a $50 increase in parking (we paid $175 a month for the parking spot), and charging for the mandatory... , below-average package service. (Also, they will lose at least one or two of your packages. Just be prepared for that.)
I can't speak to the charges for community areas based in other reviews, but I think it's kind of goofy to expect guests to stay in a guest suite at $150/night. Also, there is no spa, so idk why Apartments.com says there is. There's a gym and some living areas.
Currently there is no construction, but there most likely will be in the future due to the Light Rail and other things going on in the Spring District. Thankfully it won't be as bad as it used to be, as the Facebook building by the apartments is fully built. There are no bus stops in the Spring District, but one is a block away from the apartments - to get to a major bus line, however, you'll need to walk a half mile.
Overall, if you're not social, stay inside most days, and don't order things online, this is a nice place to live; however, you can probably find a better deal elsewhere. Lee mas

Arras Residents,
…
As a reminder, Arras residents are still allowed to use these spaces (regardless of Holidays), but anyone entertaining 3 or more guests in an amenity space, is required to have a reservation along with the $200 deposit/ $200 charge. Any residents that fail to comply with these regulations will receive an automatic $200 charge on their Active Building account.

Management updates rules without notice but sends reminders.
Property management sensors content on the community... wall.
The elevator is broken 30% of the time.
Good d delivery apps don’t make it to your front door because of “secure” access. Yet there was a homeless man sleeping on my floor near the elevators.
You pay for package concierge service because they don’t want a package room
WSG bills are ridiculously high

On a positive note Patty, Myriah and all the maintenance staff I’ve met are incredibly friendly and I feel bad for them having to enforce such ridiculous rules Lee mas
