HELLO, AND WELCOME TO OUR COMFORTABLE, GRACIOUS, QUIET, 55+ ADULT COMMUNITY !
I'm Terry Goodwin and I own the Mauna Kea Apartments - a great place for quiet independent living. I operate the Mauna Kea with an eye to creating quite long-term residencies for easy-to-get-along-with people. I'm happy that you've stopped by to consider it.
The Mauna Kea is a great place for people who like a quiet, comfortable, and commotion-free home life.
The Mauna Kea offers recently upgraded 1 and 2 bedroom apartments with unobstructed views west to the Olympic Mountains, north to downtown Seattle, and even a glimpse of Elliot Bay! Selected units feature private balconies overlooking the pool and those same terrific views to the west.
The Mauna Kea is convenient, with I-5 access 5 minutes away and a bus stop across the street.
The Mauna Kea has four strengths--a really great view, an especially large and attractive pool, a very, very quiet environment, and myself as a kind of cordial "small town Mayor". I'm at the Mauna Kea very frequently, and everyone knows me, and I them.
The Mauna Kea doesn't maximize the possible rents--I don't try to squeeze every last $50 or $60 / month that I might. I'd much rather keep the Mauna Kea's rents at an acceptable level that Residents can live with, and create a situation where the same easy-to-get-along-with Residents can live there year after year, decade after decade, as they historically have. That, to me, is a 'winning hand' for everyone.
Please -- I prefer to e-mail at first. Kindly send me a note so I can arrange a showing for you. Please include your first and last name and your own address & phone #. In the interest of mutual security I don't reply to anonymous or unverifiable addresses.
If you are inquiring on behalf on another person--a friend or relative--please provide that person's full name, contact information, and relationship to you.
The Mauna Kea Apartments - Family Built, Family Owned, Family Operated.
Thank you!
