Pillar Management and the Stadium Place hold a bit of history with me as I lived in the Wave once before 6 years ago. Mentioning because I returned in October of 2020 with a little hesitance. Honestly I am happy I did, and Im extremely happy to call Nolo home.The staff works tirelessly to keep a strong community engagement, always receptive to critique and quick to respond. You may hear exaggerated complaints but lets be real its an estate of 500+ homes and I think the staff runs it extremely well and this place holds a ton of wow factor.This leads me to my only regret in my moving here, I wished I signed a longer lease. I worry what my renewal will look like in this market. Stay tuned...
I’ve lived in the Nolo for 3 years and just renewed for another year. You really can’t beat the location: steps away from the stadium, major public transportation hubs just blocks away, and walkable to the waterfront and downtown. The management team is great, and the building definitely has a community feel to it. My favorite part of living in the Nolo, though, is the rooftop lounge - it’s always a treat to have people over and show off the view.
I looked at apartments online for like 2 weeks and The Nolo was the clear winner. I dont know of any other place with so many amenities: its almost resort-like. It not only has a gym but also a Yoga/dance studio. Cable TV included in shared areas. You can use all the amenities of its sister building as well: The Wave. As if this wasnt enough, the staff is always coming up with social activities featuring free food from local businesses.Being so close to the stadiums, expect some noise from the crowds during weekends. Thats the only downside I can think of.
I lived at the Nolo for 4 years and it was a great place. The maintenance team is always so prompt with any issues we had. Oscar, who was a part of the staff here was so friendly and helpful - it was too bad he left. However, the rest of the staff were also very nice. The building is centrally located in walking distance from the stadiums, waterfront, and chinatown. Though you can hear some noise when there are big events at the stadium, its really not bad - the walls seem pretty thick as I never once heard my neighbors and they mentioned the same. They also host a lot of events for the residents, which was fun. Overall, we highly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place.
I sold my house in the suburbs to move to the Nolo to be within blocks of my office. Covid put a wrench on that when we went to 100% work from home, but it hasnt been too bad because the apartment is very nice and the view keeps me entertained. I looked up one morning while working and saw this gorgeous sunrise out my window. Definitely a pet-friendly building and neighborhood. If you dont like dogs, you should keep that in mind. Im shocked when I read reviews about noise and smells. People, its an apartment. If I wanted quiet and isolation, I would have stayed in my house in the suburbs. Maintenance is great, the staff is friendly. The vast majority of folks in Stadium place are great neighbors.
Ive lived in the Nolo for 3 months, but I lived in The Wave before that. A small fire in an adjacent apartment necessitated relocation to a different unit. At first I was moved to a unit temporarily because I truly loved my initial apartment and wanted to wait it out, but ultimately I did what the others did, and chose a different permanent apartment. The reason I bring all this up is to illustrate what a great company this is to rent from. They went out of their way to work with me to find solutions that we could both accept even as circumstances changed. I packed my stuff, but they moved it each time. The staff is ALWAYS helpful and courteous. The buildings and facilities are wonderfully maintained, and security, although largely invisible to the eye, clearly stay on top of their business as I have never felt unsafe, even in the parking garage at night. I LOVE this place, and signed the longest lease they have to stay here.
I am sad to say I have to give this Property a star rating of 1 due to poor management. Property is also very pricy given the high traffic of homeless. Game days are the worst if you have to park your car in the garage. Otherwise the property is in prime location. Hop skip and jump to major freeways and mass transportation. Upon leasing make sure to adequately inspection your unit before and after as this property is notorious for nickel and dime you for any little thing. Management is only your friend so long as you live there. One last thig to be AWARE of... if you have one of the patio w/yard located on the 5th floor east facing DO NOT use otherwise you will be penalized for ruining the landscaping and there is no addendum in the lease mentioning the landscaping. Remember with any property especially this Management team their goal is about the numbers, and they will be very nice and forthcoming so long as you are a tenant. Keep looking around lots of nicer properties in the Central District up the road and most new properties have A/C.
Ive only lived here for 4 months but so far this is the best place Ive ever lived! Its super quiet (concrete walls and ceilings will do that) I only ever hear people in the hallways. Its super pet friendly. I love that we have plenty of places to walk my dog and even bathe him! I never get bothered by management. Everything is digital and super easy. The staff have been super nice. Also I really appreciate how the building is handling the COVID-19 crisis. The community involvement in spite of covid is great too. I just love everything about this place and I have no complaints so far.
I was a resident in 2019 and liked the office and maintenance staff. Unfortunately, the walls in this place are super thin. Youll hear and smell everything your neighbors are doing so get ready to be close. They also aggressively over-charged while moving out and continued to find new fees and findings to try and charge months after moving out. Super disappointing experience.
Really not a nice place to live.
We had mold in our apt, on our windows several times. Be prepared for pee smell all around property common areas. And poop in hallways. Would not recommend Nolo.
Just moved here with my new bride and really love living here. I lived in Belltown before this and even though Im just down the street from both the football and baseball stadiums, the noise level has gone down significantly (Belltown can get a little crazy). Amenities are fantastic. We had a pretty hot summer this year (2017) and having a/c was a huge blessing. Controlled access and security is good. Clean garage thats also patrolled by security. Good gym. They throw lots of parties for Seahawks games, holidays and the occasional Pioneer Square gathering with free food and booze. I thank God for my wife everyday and would live with her anywhere, but living here is really the cherry on top. Lots of fond memories living here, so close to everything.
Beautiful building, great staff, a block or two away from both Seattle stadiums. What more could you want?
