Avoid renting from this management company. Sure there may be some good buildings but from my experience behaving in a nonprofessional manner doesnt give a company a reputable image at all. The emergency maintenance line has to be a joke because every time I have communicated with someone from there on the phone its extremely unprofessional in the way they handle the issue at hand. Maintenance workers that have actually came into my apartment (1 person which I believe is assigned to the site) were friendly though. Property management is also astonishingly non communicative and lacks etiquette

I don't even know where to begin. I was living in a pretty tumultuous situation in Seattle and I needed OUT. I found the most PERFECT apartment in a close neighborhood to where I was already living and familiar with, and I just knew I had to move into this building. I found the most amazing, recently renovated one bedroom. Granite countertops, TONS of counter space, new stainless steel appliances, a BUNCH of storage space and a full bath. I emailed to inquire and had a response waiting for me the next day. Liz was/*is* AMAZING. Right off the bat she was so quick and responsive. Within days we

If I could give this property management company a 0 star I would. This company is terrible. First of all, when you place a maintenance review no one gets back to you. Like at all. Almost every time I had to send an additional email seeing if they received my request or when to an expect someone to come-by and fix things. Also, when its an emergency to have to call another number and a guy answers saying hey Im down in Tacoma and I cant come tonight. I just got home and am tired when its a flood with possible water damages and mold risks. Makes total sense to me.
Also, the management

From my experience living at the A.W. Larson building since April 2019, I would say they are doing a wonderful job. During my original apartment search, the Bonavista mangers were only one of a few to get back to me promptly. Additionally, the manager I dealt with, did a tremendous job explaining the lease and all my options incase of anything unexpected happening. Based on my current experience, I would easily rent from another one of their properties. I will also be the first to update this review if I ever experience anything different from my current experience.

Three years ago, my son moved to Seattle and into an apartment managed by Bonavista. Even as a visitor, his property manager, Simone, always welcomed me and treated me as a valued guest. My son had nothing but praise for his new home. So when I decided to relocate to Seattle myself two years later, even after touring several other apartment complexes, I deliberately chose a Bonavista-managed apartment because of our positive experiences with the manager. I feel welcomed and valued by Simone, and my questions and requests have always been responded to in a timely and professional manner. Bonavista

Bonavista is great! They manage the building I live in on Eastlake, and I couldn't be happier. The property manager is very responsive to maintenance concerns and is super friendly. I've lived in a lot of apartment buildings in Seattle, and this has been the best so far! They really go above and beyond to make sure the tenants are happy - the gym just got an equipment update, the common room always has fresh coffee, and one time the manager even bought cinnamon rolls for whole building on a Saturday morning! Rent here - you won't regret it!
