Pebblebrook Flats Review
Stay away. I have lived at Pebblebrook for two years and they have been the worst I have ever had in a rental property. In my time here, I have had to make several noise complaints regarding children whose parents think a hallway in an apartment is an appropriate place to play... and while these do get addressed, it is only a bandaid and the noise picks up again in a matter of days. Additionally, the children here also think it's appropriate to use the callbox at the building's entrance to... randomly call neighbors, as well as knock on residence's doors and run away. The maintenance staff has also led to a lot of the noise complaints I've had - including an instance where they were blasting the music so loud as they were painting an apartment next to mine that they couldn't even hear me tell them to turn it down. There have also been several safety concerns, ranging from packages being stolen, theft from the storage lockers, theft in the supposedly secure garages, shootings, and an assault. The only thing here that the management has addressed was the package thefts and have created a specific room for these to be picked up. For the other issues, we usually get an email to be mindful of who we let into our buildings - and while this is true and there is some responsibility left to the residents, the assault actually took place in the gym, which is located in a building that is not secured from 6am-10pm and it's ridiculous that they put the responsibility back on the residents for that. With the high cost of rent, you'd think that they could allocate some of those funds to making this is a safer community. They are also really big on emailing a list of rules for the community... but never actually enforcing them. Additionally, as stated in another comment here, the buildings are old and you can actually hear every single step a resident living above you makes. That is not an exaggeration. Personally, the only way I've been able to find peace and quiet here has been from wearing ear plugs almost around the clock. Furthermore, please be aware that you will be subject to regular water and gas shutoffs, which a pretty much monthly. Steer clear from this place. For the money, there are better communities in the cities where the management actually cares for its residents.
