A real review of Elements Apartments Bellevue

Been here almost a year, and wow—what a ride. If you’re into bad design, lost packages, and mystery smells, this place might be your dream home.

The good:

Central AC. Yep, that’s the list. Enjoy that sweet, cold air while everything else falls apart.

Restaurants nearby, which is great since you’ll be spending a lot of time wandering around looking for your DoorDash order.

The bad:

Garage horror story: Found a shirt with what looked like human feces behind my car days after moving in. Management’s reaction? Shrugged it off and blamed a dog that doesn’t even live here. A+ security!

Apartment design straight from a startup office: Kitchen has a cubicle wall instead of an island. Closets are just a rod. No balcony screen, but sure—pets allowed! What could go wrong?

AC vents? Smell like they haven’t been cleaned since the building was constructed.

Amazon locker roulette: Lockers are down by the dumpster. Classy. Don’t be surprised if your package ends up with a neighbor—or in another building entirely.

Access system overkill: You’ll need three separate systems to live your daily life here. Butterfly app, SmartRent, and a fob—none of which work well together. Android users, prepare to be locked out.

Food delivery scavenger hunt: No clear delivery instructions, and couriers can’t navigate the Butterfly app. After 10+ times of searching for my food in random buildings or outside, I’ve accepted that my dinner now lives in the wild.

Airbnb-palooza: Strangers coming and going 24/7, no background checks, and enough weed stench in the halls to hotbox the whole floor. Who needs safety or a sense of community, right?

Bottom line: If you like cold air and chaos, this is your place. Otherwise, maybe wait for a management overhaul—or a miracle.
