I lived in this apartment for one year. The views are beautiful. I apologize it goes downhill from here. It is an unsafe area, definite gang activity. Cars are broken in. There is also a MHMR across the street. You will hear people yelling at the top of their lungs at night and parking is sparse, tickets are given frequently. You will have to pay for $150 for parking. I was placed on waiting list and was happy when I altered my schedule so that I did not arrive home after dark.
We had to be moved due to dampness that I knew caused mold because I was sick for months prior. You will need

They tried to switch me to different unit after I paid the background fees.
I meet with Ashlie and looked at the unit and paid the background fees and completed the paperwork. Then she called and said someone else will get the unit! And tried to switch me to different one. That was not professional. I asked for the background fees they refused. I kept calling but they just want me to rent another random unit. This day I drove 120 minutes then they finally gave the unit to someone else.

We've been here for almost a year and we couldn't be happier. They have never left us waiting when small issues happen. Living in the city can have their challenges, but the staff and their security has always gone above and beyond to keep our building safe! The pandemic has really taken a toll on many businesses but this building has once again gone above and beyond to keep us safe, healthy and protected with their mandatory rules, constant mask wearing and sanitary practices. Many people forget that apartment buildings sometimes have no control over tenants that can cause issues, noises

I wasn't going to leave a review after all this time but since they haven't resolved my "unpaid bill" which absolutely has been paid, I'm going to give a full review. Skip to the end if you want the short version.
I moved in to the Orion mid 2018 when I was still active duty. I loved the location and view which drew me to this place. They gave me an ok deal $1200/mo for a 1B/1B because construction was so noisy and ongoing for months. Almost my entire floor was empty except for me and two other neighbors. First thing I noticed AFTER moving in was the entire building smells

*In response to their below reply* My Husband was the only one with his name on the lease. I lived with him for 6 months before buying our house together. Everything mentioned in the below is a valid statement, from the horrible office manager to the flooding with fans and dehumidifiers.
DO NOT RENT AT THE ORION IN TACOMA. Absolutely horrible advice from the leasing office. We’ve been living here for 15 months now and have been solid renters. We signed a six month lease with advice from the leasing office that we could get out of our it no problem upon finding our first house. They have a month

Ashlie in the office is the best, she makes everything easy and deserves a promotion. Location is ultra walkable, plenty to do in the area, the building is secure (as secure as it can be considering the fact that it's a highrise with who-knows how many tenants), free parking is adequate if you time it right, and many more bonuses like the gym, shared spaces, etc. I've been here for a little over six months and every single problem I've brought up to the office, they have addressed and resolved as soon as they were able to.

Orion has been nothing but welcoming for me. Ladies working at the office were very helpful in finding a promising unit. Views are outstanding here and I have nothing but good things to say. Maintenance work is prompt and very efficient with their work even during these hard times for all of us. They have been very helpful which makes me call this place home.

The Orion staff is awesome and will easily help you with anything you might need. The apartments are neat, clean, and all that one would need as well! The view of Commencement Bay is indescribable and really needs to be seen yourself, it makes my mornings! The location is great and the amenities are all that you'd expect. Love my stay here and make sure to say hi to Jess and Brennon, two of the best on staff!

This is a newly renovated building and the views and apartments are beautiful! What I like the most about living here is the friendly staff. The maintenance techs are awesome! They are always willing to help, and they provide excellent customer service, above and beyond :) I highly recommend living here!

Laurli was so expedient and helpful. Looking for a new place can be headache and when you add a tight timeline that increases the stress exponentially. We happened to stop by Orion Apartments and the pace and responsiveness between inquiring about availability to moving in was incredible. We really appreciate the seamless experience! Plus, all electronic processing is super user friendly which made a big difference! Highly recommend.

Management can sometimes make or break a place-- the staff here is helpful and experienced. Great views and apartment has been renovated recently. This community room is huge and also renovated.
There may be a few crazies in the night sometimes, but that's what you get living in the Stadium District. Orion is walkable to anything you need. Love how close it is to Wright Park.

The renovated apartment is simply beautiful, my finance and I moved in here last fall and we have the best view of the water! Everyone is super nice and the staff is amazing they are willing to help with anything!!! I'm so close to shopping and the best restaurants Tacoma offers! If you're looking for a well kept community I would highly recommend moving here and becoming my neighbor!!

I have a neighbor that pounds on my door at 3am , asking if he can talk to my 1 year old daughter . He threatend to kill me (for no reason) and he tries to walk inside my neighbors doors as well as harrasing them . He smokes weed in front of my door and calls me a b n word I ask him to stop and then he just cries about his ex gf . He swung a glass bottle at me . Management has done NOTHING . They told us to just call the police . Live here if you want to be able to harass a family and be aggressive to your neighbors because the police and management don't care .

I would like to strongly caution anyone that is considering becoming a tenant at the Orion Apartments. I lived there from July 2017-June 2018 and could not get out of there fast enough. The view of the water was great but that's as far as it goes. My worst experience with them was upon move out, but first I'll share a few details from living there. I was told upon move-in that construction would last for another 3 months at most. That was not true. Construction was a daily burden the entire year I lived there. The walls are made of concrete so sounds travels unusually well (told to me

Wore apartment building ever. Always doing construction! Turned back multiple packages because they were in my wives maiden name. Turned back a express mail package that had important documents they have effected us tremendously from not receiving them. We lost 8,000 dollars because of failing to receive my mail. Always smell funny like weed and BO. The workers in the front office are horrible. I've been double billed multiple times. Someone started a fire in there apartment five floors above mine and there was water damage due to the fire system. They made me change apartments and pay extra

Can't rave enough about this apartment building, the amenities, the staff, or the location. The entire building has been newly renovated and the communal spaces as well as the individual apartments are modern and extremely well maintained. The leasing & maintenance staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the move in process. The views from either side of the building, whether of green trees and Wright Park or of Commencement Bay are fantastic. There are even two giant, communal patios downstairs with excellent views of the mountains and the bay. The surrounding area is also a reason

I lived here in a 1 bedroom apartment for a year from January 2017-December 2017. This was a great first place to live when I moved to Washington. The central location made it easy for me to walk to work on Pacific Ave, walk to the grocery store, and walk to local restaurants and bars.
I never had a problem with getting a hold of management. They were always willing to chat about any issues I had when I went into the office. I was always greeted with a smile and a treat for my dog. I found the staff to be very friendly and welcoming!
The gym was always clean and quiet. I didn't have much

Noisy with constant construction going on. Smoke detector goes off during the slightest heat generated when the oven door is opened for more than a second. Shower water pressure is so-so. Shower heads are for people less than five feet tall. Hallway smells - often it is smoke though the sign in the lobby clearly states that this is smoke-free living. Sometimes it permeates and I can detect it from within my apartment. Neighbors on the same floor and on the floor exactly above - fight like cornered animals. The amenities - movie room - common area - have been inexplicably off limits after 9pm for
