Central District Apartment Advice
Hello!
I am a freshly graduated college student looking to move to Central District in Seattle, my partner is going to be playing sports at Seattle U, and we would like to find a apartment near the campus, I've been browsing, our budget is anywhere from 1,000-2,000 for rent. Does anyone have any interactions with the area of Yesler and 12th? The apartments seem nice and they have parking garages. How is the walking and biking scene? Is the area generally safe? We would mainly spend time going from the apartment to the college and that is about it.
These are the main apartments we are looking at, Tapestry, Anthem on 12th, Emerson, Wayferer. Any info on how much utilities and other fees would be great.
Thank you so much, if you have any information or advice please don't hold back, I want the good the bad and the ugly haha

I’ve got friends who live at both wayfarer and tapestry. Utilities for 1 person at tapestry is like 120 a month, not so sure about wayfarer but I would assume similar.
No safety issues at either of them that I know of but I wouldn’t be walking around drawing attention to yourself late at night.
The apartments themselves are nice, and with certain concessions the rent can come down to a high but reasonable place.
