A few weeks ago, Wall Street Tower were purchased by other company, Archstone Belltown. We heard the information about Archstone Belltown, and they sounded wonderful. The new staffs are working on to remodel apartment. Anyway, our lease is coming up expired by end of September. We received lease paper with rates for any months people want to sign for a new lease. We were shocked and were not happy with this rates. The rate went up big time! We were like.. there is no way this rate would not match to this kind of apartment. Once we discussed what to do about it, we decided to look for other apartments with good rate.
Today, Kevin and I made appointments with two apartments to tour and made decision. These two apartments are M Street and Neptune. These apartments are wonderful and are even better than the Archstone Belltown. M Street is very close to Kevin's work, and it is only four block apart. So, I made chart for each of these apartments with pros/cons to discuss. Our final decision is that we like M Street better than Neptune. We haven't apply yet but will soon. If apply approved, then we will start moving to M Street at the end of September before our Archstone leases expire.
From the aboves, this is the Archstone Belltown Apartment where we currently live. As you can see the picture from right, the Space Needle is about a few block away from our apartment on the left side of the picture. It is nice to walk there. We haven't been there yet but will go there sometimes during the weekend.
From the above, this is the front entrance of the Archstone Belltown.
This is the view of downtown Seattle from our living room where we live on 15th floor. The pictures on left side show the view right straigh ahead. The left ones show on the right side view from our apartment.
