I don't care how much work you put into a place if your neighbors are not quality people it's not worth renting. That being said, you could probably get better pricing at the apodments up on 13th Ave East. I have lived there twice but for only short periods of time. The reason was the people that lived there. A new eleventh was very different I actually knew two of my neighbors and would go out for pizza with one and play with the dog of my other neighbor. It was so very pleasant. The loft bed area is huge if you have a twin bed. I had more than enough room for one person. The floor plan on the bottom level is a bit odd and the wood floors are noisy. But so is every wood floor. Just part of living with no carpeting. I loved that my building and unit was in the back of the apartment complex and that it got morning sunlight. Also having a loft gave me two windows which was handy to air out my apartment and to get fresh air in. I love the regular size sink and having a built in microwave was great. Everything fit perfectly for me. I used the kitchen only once since most of my cooking is done in an instant pot and a rice cooker. The proximaty to QFC and the PNW Gym was fantastic and the choices of either walking to take the light rail or jump on two different bus routes was great. The neighborhood has a wonderful vibe and parking is much easier to get then east of 12th ave. The pricing for the unit was good. The move in was a breeze and I was able to complete everything online. I love being able to pay my rent online and using my rewards credit card to get cash back. Lots of eateries right down the street and a park is right around the corner. Thrift shop and drug store is also down the block. I would say that out of all the neighborhoods I have live in from 2nd and Stewart to First Hill to the Group Health area, this has been my favorite so far. I'm willing to pay a premium for a better neighborhood and this was the best so far. Don't be detered by the new hip slick and cool places on Broadway, (it's noisy). Rent at a New Eleventh. It's really worth it. Management is really quality to and respond to maintenance request within 48 hours.

I have lived at Common Melrose for about a year now and I have had a great experience. The home is very nice and is always kept clean and stocked with provided kitchen/bathroom/laundry supplies (an awesome amenity). Support staff has always been very accommodating and quick to respond, whether it’s been for maintenance, restocking supplies or other general issues. What was intended to be a short lease for me ended up being much longer. I highly recommend Common.

I'm excited to share my experiences at Common with you as I'm happy living in such a beautiful place, I get to call Home ;) I give Common the highest possible marks, simply because they deserve it. One of the most important aspects of living at Common is that you're surrounded with a team of employees that are dedicated in assisting you in receiving the best possible customer / resident experience. Their excellence in communication is simply exceptional. **Highly Recommend**

Best living experience I've ever had in NYC hands down. Great staff. Great space. I would recommend without hesitation.

I currently live in Common Simonds in Chicago and it's been great! The building used to be owned by another management company but the transition has been seamless and when I found out we were switching to Common I was pumped! The Simonds building consists of all individual apartments which is awesome rather than a lot of other Common buildings where you rent out a room and share a common space. The only drawback of this is that the feeling is a tad less communal than what I'd imagine other Common buildings to be. That said you still get access to all of the local events, Common Member portal and the same perks as anywhere else. One other think to mention about Simonds specifically is that the apartments are TINY. BUT you get literally everything you need. Dishwasher, full Washer/Dryer in unit, all new appliances and fixtures. I think my entire place including bathroom and closet is 250sq ft? The best way I can describe it is like living in a tiny home. If you are the type to want to live minimally then this is a GREAT place to test those waters out. I've found myself paring down a lot of my belongings and am way happier as a result. :) The response time regarding any issues or questions is super quick (special shout out to Jenna North who is THE best) and they never leave you hanging. The level of service surrounding tenants is unlike any management company I've ever experienced. Basically, nothing about Common is normal and I mean that in the BEST way possible. The housing market needed a change. (Insert thumbs up here)

I have nothing but good things to say about Common Living. The apartment complexes are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, while the property management team is easy-to-work with, organized, caring, and prompt. After living in a smaller apartment for two years in a complex owned by Common, I reached out to Jenna, the Customer Success Manager, to let her know I needed more space and was looking for other apartments. She quickly scheduled a meeting to discuss what type of apartment I was looking for, and she literally found the PERFECT fit. This was no easy feat, as I was very specific in what I was looking for - a complex close to Lake Union, with a patio and view of the water, a lofted studio space with full amenities, in Eastlake (a neighborhood I love), at a reasonable price. Miraculously, she found EXACTLY that, but even better- a BRAND NEW complex at a price I could afford! I was thrilled, and couldn’t wait to move in. She even scheduled multiple tours for me to view the complex, to provide full confidence in my decision to transfer buildings. And on top of that, she timed the move-in so I can easily transfer from my current lease to the next without paying double rent. With their awesome customer service team and great apartments, I plan to stay with Common Living until I buy property. Although I may just stay permanently!

I've been at Common going into three years now and have nothing but incredible things to say. First, the apartments are amazing - everything furnished, huge common spaces (from Movie rooms to study rooms to gyms to rooftop BBQs!). Second, the staff is amazing. From the initial tour of your apartment and lease signing, online support, someone always there for you to solve any issue - someone will quickly respond. And transferring to different Common apartments was a breeze! Incredible staff! Special shout outs to Brooke in Brooklyn for making this possible and my dream apartment possible. Third, everything is modern and state of the art from key-less entry to rent paying (no more mailing rent checks or worries if you forget - everything can be done auto-payment so never have to worry again) to WIFI and Smart TVs to the Common App and more! Fourth, the Common Community - every week (or day!) there are incredible events and opportunities (FREE) from learning how to bake cupcakes at NYC's best bakeries to tickets to Broadway to Ski trips to more! You name it - they have it. And if somehow they don't - they can add it! Its an incredible community in your Common apartments - from parties to dinner nights to more! College dorm style community but for adults!! :) Fifth, the amenities are incredible. All the necessities are provided for you! Weekly cleanings of your apartments and the staff are incredible and so friendly. Basically everything is provided for you so you can focus on career, life, family and friends. I've saved so much time and life thanks to Common for making my home as worry-free as possible. Sixth and most importantly, so affordable. With everything included - furnished apartment, near infinite amenities, cleaning, weekly restocking of all your necessities, and so much common space available for use. Its incredible - a luxury apartment and community made accessible and reasonable for anyone. So thank you Common for completely revolutionizing renting, housing, community, living and the city.

Great place to live in! The house is quiet and welcoming. The onboarding is really straightforward and Common is always here to help!
