Amazing apartments to live at. The owners are very friendly and will take time out of their busy schedule just to chat and see how things are going! Manager Zoey is an absolute angel she brings such a warming vibe to these apartments

I like aspen circle, the apartments are decent and roomy and it is across the street from CWU.They are prompt about maintenance calls and lockouts, but the office is only open 4 hours a day, and often there isn't anybody there.

My husband and I love our apartment so much. The location is great for students. It's less than a block away from CWU and takes 4 minutes to walk from here to class. Ellensburg isn't a big town so there are lots of local grocery stores. There's a bargain mart within walking distance. I left town for a week and my husband said he did fine without a car because everything was so close. The apartment was completely spotless when we moved in. People in other reviews were mad about cleaning fees but for us moving in we love how seriously Aspen Circle takes cleanliness. There wasn't a crumb from the

If you are a young adult and you actually need your security deposit back don't move in here, they will do whatever it takes to gouge you for money when it comes time to move out. I have a feeling they take advantage of young people because they don't think they'll be able to do or say anything. The owner Laurie seems kind, but I've come to realize she's very persnickety and a fibber. Make sure if you move in here that you take pictures of absolutely anything and everything that might even look just dirty, not even if it's actually broken. They not only kept our entire security deposit but she

The apartments are large, and well worth the money. The staff and owners are wonderful at responding to requests as well as truly kind individuals. I have no regrets about living here and would recommend it to anybody!

Look literally anywhere else to live. Moving in is easy enough, and living there is fine, but the apartments are in desperate need of updating and if you ever want to leave, you're going to lose a lot of money. The groundskeeper is a great guy and they hire nice people, but management is awful. Reaching her is difficult, she's rude, and she will gladly make the process of moving out as painful as possible. Don't ever plan on getting your security deposit back because they will do whatever they can to take it all and act like they're doing you a favor. You're better off

My husband and I moved into our little home during the summer of 2017. They were very fast during the moving in process and helpful. We even got help moving a mattress to the second floor. Klaus, is the handy man and he has always fixed little things around our home quickly and fast. We are in a 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment and there are 4 units to a building. Pretty spacious for our first home. They approved my 9 year old German Shepherd mix to live with us, because of his breed it was hard for us to find a home but they made so easy! All in all these apartments are pretty quiet and calm.
