Milano Apartments

We have lived in Milano apartments in Bellevue since we moved to the US in 2019. We have lived there almost 4 years, and moved out in May 2023. Location is outstanding. Almost all apartments have balconies. The apartment we were renting had 2. Those balconies helped us not to feel locked like in prison during the COVID times. Trolleys next to the elevator in the parking are very useful when you come back home from the grocery store. We have had an excellent experience with the management team. Great service and great people. Always ready to help.

had a short summer lease here and it was a great experience! The apartment was nicely furnished with all the essentials, and super spacious. Very convenient location with grocery shops at walking distance, close to the highways, and the Bellevue shopping area. Also, extremely friendly and helpful managing staff!

This is the only apartment complex that has ever made me feel at home. Since opening the owners have never failed to serve each resident as part of their own family. Whether it be supplying breakfast every Saturday morning, being available to chat in the office, or answering my desperate 2 am calls when my partner and I have forgotten our keys. The owner has shown up for me in 10 minutes every time I have been locked out with no hesitation. Impeccable service.

Keep searching! The tall ceilings, obstructed view of downtown Bellevue, and free parking convinced us to rent with Milano in the summer of 2017- 2018. The leasing staff were friendly and the apartment itself was very quaint, compared to the rest of Bellevue. That said a few thing's stood in the way from us enjoying our leasing experience with Milano. Specifically: - Frequent fire alarm failures around 2-5 am on the weekends (once to twice a month near the end of our stay), resulting in the fire department showing up and residents evacuating. - Plumbing/water pressure problems. The master bathroom sink would stop working if you used hot water longer than 20 seconds. The shower also had bad water pressure due to the build up of salt in the drains. -The water was acidic (measured at pH 4).

Don't even think about this place. I'm an experienced renter with excellent credit. We lived here for one year, and while the interiors seem nice at first glance, our experience was abysmal: - Plumbing/water pressure problems lasting >6 months despite constant maintenance requests - Towel racks fell off the walls - Frequent fire alarm failures after midnight - Cabinet handles broke off from normal, non-excessive use - Blinds have repeatedly broken and fallen - Washing machine controls were broken - Our microwave LEAKS (reported, never fixed) - Acidic tap water (measured at pH 4) that has visibly corroded the piping; residue broke several of our own shower head attachments (see attachment). - 2 break-ins into the gated garage, as reported by management - And one of us was even bedridden du
