Like most Yelp reviewers, I'm not much of a writer. So, I'll try to keep this one short but sweet.
The Broadway Building is centrally located in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. If you enjoy good food, strong drinks, and a charged atmosphere, well then this neighborhood is definitely for you. The building itself lies between Cal Anderson Park, which has the distinction of being voted one of Forbes' "Best City Parks in the U.S.", and Seattle Central College, which is the site of weekly cultural events. If you're concerned with the issue of noise mitigation, I can honestly say that The Broadway does a decent job at keeping the street/park noise out of your apartment. Once again, this is an active neighborhood, with many bars within earshot and a park which hosts intramural sports leagues as well as some unique events like dodgeball tourneys and bike polo. If you live on the park side, you will hear noise. For the most part, events tend to wrap up no later than 10:00/10:30 PM and make for some pretty stellar people watching. If you're the more adventurous type, then head down and watch court side with some neighbors or maybe even participate.
If you're not swayed by the location alone, then maybe it's time to take a look inside. What The Broadway's list of amenities lacks in quantity, it more than makes up for in quality: underground, secure garage parking (for a monthly fee), electronic security measures, individually metered utilities, in-unit washer and dryer, full kitchen, all energy efficient appliances, and, last but not least, a newly renovated gym featuring treadmills, ellipticals, benches, yoga mats, and weight set (up to 50 lbs).
In addition to being an incredibly active and diverse community, The Broadway hosts a variety of social gatherings, the most prominent being the Monthly Happy Hour. Delicious food from Capitol Hill's many restaurants, refreshing drinks from Washington's many breweries and wineries, all provided to the residents free of charge. In my experience, that is something very hard to come by.
Finally, if the amazing location, amenities, and community doesn't do it for you, then maybe the outstanding Property Management Division Team will be enough to tip your scales. Simply put, they will never turn away an issue as being too big or too small; too early or too late. I can personally attest that the levels of dedication, sincerity, and care put forth by Netanya and Chris are unparalleled.
All in all, The Broadway is an ideal place for young professionals as well as anyone looking for an exciting building, in an exciting neighborhood, in an exciting city.
