AVA Ballard is close to quite a few things...Safeway, Walgreens, and plenty of other things down the street in Ballard. Located right at 15th Ave W and NW Market St, it's a fairly busy area, so avoid it if you don't want a bit of ambient road noise during the summer months of open windows. It's a huge building, so you'll likely run into quite a few new people after moving in, which can be nice, or not, depending on your personality. My only complaint is the fact that they pass-through the sewer... capacity charge, which is a fee that builders are supposed to pay or be responsible for (it's separate from the sewer usage fee, which you'll also pay). Overall...good! Read More

I've lived here over a year and have loved every second! The layout of my apartment is unique in a way that truly maximizes the space and creates quite an open feel. The building is also unique for the area and includes multiple roof-top barbecues, a 24 hour gym, and a "chill space" complete with arcade machines. The staff have made me feel at home since the day I moved in, remembering my name and even apartment number. My favorite aspect of the apartment are all of the modern touches,... particularly the chalkboard wall, equipped with a "Welcome Home" statement upon our move-in date. I love my home! Read More
