Vive Apartment Homes

"I relocated to Seattle from the east coast six months ago and couldn't be more satisfied with my choice of Vive as my first place of residence. The move-in process, from signing the lease to settling in, was seamless. Ian and Ollie make an excellent team and have truly stood out, demonstrating exceptional professionalism, attentiveness, and a genuine concern for their residents. They actively work on fostering a strong sense of community. Maintenance requests are always promptly addressed, and the appliances are modern and reliable so my living experience has been hassle-free. Ongoing issues don’t get neglected for too long. For example, they’ve recently installed a security camera in the mail room. Location is very ideal and walkable. Best of all, the rooftop is a standout feature, offering views the sunset over the Olympics and a glimpse of the tip of Rainier on a clear day. Overall, Vive offers great value for those seeking a budget-friendly apartment with exceptional staff. Would highly recommend!"

"I love living here - the location, the view from my apartment, and the friendly people in the building. I so appreciate the support and help from both Ian and Oliver. They respond quickly, answer my questions, and are so pleasant and professional. It is a joy to live here."

"Moved into VIVE in October 2022 and already signed another lease. I toured 8 different properties in the Seattle area and basically the same layout and price point at all the properties. Quite a few properties had some amazing amenities that VIVE just does not offer at this time. I chose VIVE after meeting the Property Manager Nico. He was just so personable, his tour was great, he mentioned and showed me the activities that coordinates for the residents which seemed like a great time. I could tell he genuinely took pride in his community, which is so clean and it smells amazing, quiet and well cared for. The maintenance supervisor, Ollie is so efficient and takes care of any concerns immediately. I am always seeing Nico and Ollie cleaning the floors and different area as well as straightening up to make sure our property looks great! The community itself is so low-key and friendly and very pet friendly. Nico is so easy to talk to and never makes me feel like I'm burdening him with whatever questions or concerns I may have. I signed a new lease for another year at VIVE, mostly because I don't think another community can match the staff here. I do wish they offered amenities, but Nico and Ollie make up for that missing piece."

"I've lived at Vive in Ballard since October 2022. I love living here; so much when a new larger unit opened I re-signed. The staff, Ian and Oliver are fantastic. Vive is locating within walking distance of so many things in Ballard. The Farmers Market every Sunday and delicious restaurants, shops and groceries. It runs on the bus line so I know many residents that have given up their cars. There are activities via online and in person, a nice lobby where you can host a movie night, play pool or just hang out. The property is well kept, clean and secure."

"Nico is a great building manager really makes an effort to plan events for the building every month, and is attentive to residents needs. Maintenance is also readily available and gets to requests quickly. The building is modern and the in unit washer dryer’s are definitely a massive perk. Very convenient location for grocery stores, and the downtown bus is a block away. In addition quite reasonably priced as well for Ballard. Would recommend as a place to live! The only thing to watch out for is cars do have a tendency to get broken into if parked on the street so make sure to take out all valuables. (Paid secure parking is available though which i would recommend)"
