The following sections break down who this residence works best for, what current tenants say, how its price compares to the city’s starting point, which room type to consider, and when to start looking.
Who This Residence Suits and Who It Does Not
Suits:
- Graduate students or young professionals at the University of Washington who want a quiet, well-maintained building with responsive management. Several reviews highlight the peaceful atmosphere and professional staff.
- People who need a short-notice move-in — one reviewer mentioned they found the apartment sight unseen within a few weeks and were impressed.
- Residents who value cleanliness, minimal noise, and a safe environment. The property appears to be managed actively, with consistent attention to maintenance.
- Pet owners: the tag “Pet Friendly” is confirmed, so dogs or cats are likely allowed (check specific policy with the operator).
Does not suit:
- Budget-conscious students: the starting price of USD 1,595 is more than double the city’s from-price of USD 704 (indicative — confirm with the operator). This property sits in a higher price tier, so it is not for those seeking the cheapest option in Seattle.
- People who prefer a lively, social atmosphere: reviews emphasize “quiet” and “peaceful,” so if you want a building with regular events or a party environment, this may not match.
- Anyone needing a short lease or month-to-month flexibility: the data does not show a minimum lease term, so you should confirm lease length directly. Given typical apartment policies, expect a 12-month lease unless otherwise arranged.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews are available. They are quoted verbatim below.
R Shipley (5 stars):
“Malloy apartments are above and beyond what we were expecting. We had to hurry and find an apartment within a few weeks and chose Malloy sight unseen since I am a flight attendant and was not able to take my daughter out there. We were beyond impressed. My daughter graduated from UW last year but is now back to get her…” (review truncated)

Price Positioning and Room Types
The city’s from-price for student housing in Seattle is USD 704 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). Malloy starts at USD 1,595, which is roughly 126% higher. This property is positioned in the upper-mid to high range for Seattle student accommodation. The maximum price per month is USD 1,995.
Room types available:
- Studio
- 1 bedroom
- Apartment (likely a larger unit, possibly 1 or 2 bedrooms)
Given the price range, studios are expected at the lower end (closer to USD 1,595) and larger apartments at the upper end (up to USD 1,995). Exact floor plans and square footage are not provided; you should ask the operator for details.
For perspective: if your housing budget is under USD 1,500, this property is not a fit. If you can stretch to USD 1,600–2,000 and prioritise quality, management, and location near UW, Malloy is a strong candidate.
Booking Timing Considerations
The property becomes available from June 7, 2026. For a move-in around that date, you should start inquiring 3–6 months in advance — typically January to March 2026 for a June start. Since Seattle student housing near UW is competitive, booking earlier (e.g., by March 2026) may secure your preferred unit and lease start date.
Note that the property appears to have limited inventory (only 36 student properties listed in the city overall, though that number refers to the whole city, not just Malloy). Check directly with the operator for current availability. The reviews indicate that moving in on short notice is possible, but that depends on current vacancies.
