Beautiful property, thin walls, no resolution to noisy neighbors
There are many reviews on Griffis North Creek Apartments and I made sure to read every single one of them when selecting this apartment. During our tour everything looked so promising that I ignored some of the less favorable reviews since they were written around six months back from when I was moving in.
This property has it all, heated pool, cooled package room, gym with well stocked equipment, on-site security, entertainment center, pet friendly and more. However, I wish that I heeded the... warnings of thin walls, thin ceilings, and while management has the nicest staff possible, they cannot deal with a noise complaint that has plagued my household since I moved in.
When I moved into my apartment, first floor, I expected to hear noise from the stairs as is expected on a multi-level building, however I did not expect two weeks into living here to be subject to loud stomping, door slamming, and harassment from my upstairs neighbor. I expected that it was just moving noises but they have continued well into my third month living here.
Normally I would wait my full lease before leaving a review but I cannot imagine having other future residents be promised a conflict free living experience and go through the incessant noise if they choose to live under another resident. Noise complaints from management are addressed but respond with "everyday noise there is nothing we can do unless it is past 10pm". Now I've taken countless videos, enhanced the audio and removed background noise to show how loud the stomping is above me that is certainly not everyday noise and especially continues past 10pm daily and I have been met with a dead end from management in terms of moving forward with a resolution.
The property is beautiful, tucked away on a highway that has everything locally, especially the freeway. If you still plan on making Griffis North Creek your home, please insist on the third floor apartment. Moving may be tough, but having peace of mind that nobody is deliberately making noise above you to spite you because of complaints to the office is worth it.
