I lived at Bayview Apartments for several years. My neighbors were great, and aesthetics of the place was relaxing. The buildings are from the 70's or 80's. The apartments are in need of constant repair, and the maintenance man seems to always be working on multiple projects. Upon moving out we learned that some things are not well documented. Mold was a constant battle for us at this apartment. Water pressure issues would cause a different facet or pipe to leak each time the prior one was fixed. Most of the electric outlets were loose fitting. The oven leaked heat out of the door, with no solution from maintenance, effectively making baking a severe struggle. Our bathtub wall was flimsy and broke the chalking around the bathtub. Maintenance replaced the chalking around the tub twice and added some extra paneling (to keep further water out...) to the top of the wall. The wall integrity was never checked or reinforced and none of these things were documented. We eventually gave up on the wall being fixed after the second time it was chalked shut and it broke open again. This lead to some water damage and possible mold in the wall. As prices for apartments rise in Olympia, you may want to consider your options.

Most affordable apartment I have found in Olympia. Grounds are kept very clean. Managers are nice and get back to your inquires quickly. You get your own parking space and there are even fruit trees and grapevines on the grounds. My neighbors were very nice and weren't loud. Awesome apartment where I lived for a few years.

This place is not worth the 1600 they charge. Landlords paints over imperfections and even MOLD. They think its ok. Orange mold in the bathroom cielings. Also stairs (see photo) are slippery and dont have grip and I FELL DOWN THEM. they use to have padding for non slip. The balcony is unusable because its leaning and cracked which makes it a falling hazard. Landlords need to do better with actually fixing the mold, dilapidation and bring rhis building back to code. The old owners from 4 years ago were amazing and kept this place up to code. Currently this is the slums. The rich slums based on what you pay. If the owners did make the building mold free , fix balcony , and make sure the stairs have padding again theyd charge tenants 2300 for the same space because its up to safety standards like it should always be.

They need a 0 star option. 1 day it’s a racist man yelling all times of the day the next peoples cars are getting broken into. These apartments are a cesspool and do nothing but make the east side community feel unsafe.

They have made the whole neighborhood unsafe since new ownership.

Its disappointing what these apartments have done to the community
