Echelon Apartments

I just moved in and so far have had a wonderful experience. Staff here have been so nice and helped me with renting a place without even looking at it.
It’s quiet and has a beautiful treed landscape as well as a pretty walking trail behind the complex.

I'm giving this a 5 star because of Paul Albea and how he dealt with us. Very friendly and professional. He showed us around, and really cares about giving a good impression of these apts. It's partly because of him that we chose to move here because he made us feel so welcomed. He attends to any issues we have quickly and without fuss. If it weren't for him, I would not give a 5 star. (Mainly because of the atrocious parking). Also, I will say that the apt grounds are beautiful and kept up well.

I’ve lived here at Echelon Apartments for about 6 months and the staff has been amazing. The administrative staff have always been very pleasant and welcoming. And they do their absolute best to care for their residents. Shortly after moving in I had a couple very minor maintenance issues, which the front office worked hard to have fixed within a couple days.

I also recently had trouble renewing my lease, due to computer issues, and Gabriela stayed late to walk me through the process over the phone. When I was still unable to get my computer working (and despite being past the renewal date) Gabriela met with me the next morning to make sure I was taken care of.

I’ve lived in several complexes over the years and can say without a doubt that the staff at Echelon are among the best.

Thank you very much for your time and patience, Gabriela (and the rest of the staff at Echelon). I genuinely appreciate all that you do.

Echelon Apartments is a nice complex in a great location. We lived here for 6 months until our home was ready and we were happy they offered us a 6-month lease option. The 3-bedroom apartment is quite large with enough space for a small house-full of furniture. The location is great if you work on JBLM as the drive is quick and access to I-5 is very close. It's also close to the Lakewood International District with delicious restaurant choices and the Lakewood Town Center. The main office is gorgeous and there is a nice pool and fitness gym. The indoor basketball court looked nice, but it was always locked up. The staff are very nice. My main complaints were the Noise and lack of parking. Some tenants would get very loud late into the night and the Steilacoom Blvd traffic was also loud. Parking can be very difficult to find later in the evenings so it may be worth the extra cost to reserve a covered parking spot or even a garage if they are available. The complex allows dogs of medium to small size and many tenants have wonderful dogs. Some tenants pick up after their dogs while others don't. If you find this review helpful give me a "Like".
