Susan, Respectfully, you're easily the worst manager I've ever dealt with in renting in high rise buildings for nearly a decade around the beltway . When I lived at your property you were nearly impossible to track down and never showed any accountability or responsibility for any issues (including a wasp infestation). We both know your attempt at responding to this Yelp review is the most engaged I've ever seen you. To those apartment shopping...I'd avoid this company, this building and most of all ,Susan Rao (the most disorganized and obtuse manager I've ever come across). Camden and Camden Potomac Yard...A must miss read more

Camden Potomac staff, I've been leasing with Camden for over two years, moving to DC for a job and this was the Camden I had my eyes on. Sadly to my surprise this Camden compared to the current one I lease with and others I've contacted Potomac yard by far the worst experienced. 1. Contacting the "Leasing office" by far the most difficult thing in the world and if you reach the call center and leave a message the leasing office never follows up which tells me they don't care, one or two messaged follow up calls is okay but several is unacceptable. 2. The excuse that "I am sorry you're apartment was given away to someone else because the leasing agent doing the paperwork was new, we're sorry about this so we're going to need to set you up with another apartment" This is by far the most laughable excuse I've had by any leasing office, so its my fault that my apartment was given away because a leasing agent was new and made a mistake, did this person not have a supervisor or lead to help him or her with how to do her job the correct way? 3. Security Deposit not returned even though I did not move in or sign any leasing documents, again it is not my fault that I have faith in a leasing agent new or old doing they're job correctly which it wasn't at all and Mr. Allen telling me a simple "No" after calling me asking me asking if I am still moving in after I requested for several times for someone to contact me just furthers my anger towards this situation and horrible experience with Camden Potomac. There's way more I have to say but I think my point has been made that Camden is an amazing company to lease with however Potomac yard is by far one of the worst experiences I've had and I hope Potomac yard looks at this and hopefully it helps others as well. read more

I LOVE living at Camden, conveniently located near a bus stop that will take you to the metro or pentagon city and across the street from both a Harris Teeter and your local Potomac yard LA Fitness. The staff is generally friendly and the maintenance team has always responded to service requests within 48 hours. It's a secure building with a 24 hour concierge and let's talk about the roof top pool perfect for sunbathing or letting your children float about. I currently live in a studio that is rather spacious with a layout that feels more open than a traditional studio. The apartments are updated with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops because who wants an outdated kitchen, can you say faux pas? Camden does a stellar job of communicating with their residents and keeping shared spaces clean. No complaints in the months that I've lived here! read more

Think of a building made of paper thin walls and have windows which lets through all the cold and hot air in every single season. Think of a company that has no good management skills and does not meet your needs. Then you are a perfect match for Camden Potomac Yard! If you are ready live in a good location and a good apartment which only looks good from the outside you are more than welcome here! Just to give you an idea how good they are at fixing things; they are really good at how to not fix a water filter on a refrigerator; they are really good at how to not fix isolation through your windows which makes your air condition work all night to keep the air a little warm at winter time; they are really good at not cleaning thoroughly your air condition and vents, as well as your balcony and windows. If you think that any of the things stated above meets your needs than you are perfect candidate to live here at Camden Potomac Yard! read more

Think of somewhere else to live. This is not luxury living. Apartment always smells of marijuana and leasing management will tell you there is not much you can. So, you have to just deal with burning eyes and feeling sick due to the smell. Have been living here for 5 years with my parents and this is terrible. Other complexes in the area with better staff equipped to handle such issues. Try concord read more

I wouldn't recommend Camden to anyone - the renovated apartments look nice but the quality is horrible. They will charge you whatever they can get out of you at the end of your lease. We lived there for a year and the floors were so cheap they had dents from our furniture - furniture that wasn't particularly heavy or that nice. Camden charged us for every floor board. There are much nicer apartments in Crystal City and Potomac Yards that we toured that I wish we went with! read more

Awful experience at Camden Apartments. Lets first start off with the actual apartment: The apartment is very dark, i would literally have to leave all of the lights on, even during the day, because of how dark the apartment is. I lived here for a year and even overheard two other people complaining about how dark it is. The floors are cheap wooden floors. Next are the bathrooms. You cant even take a hot shower because the water literally doesn't get hot! I know it wasn't just our particular unit because I've also heard my neighbor complain about the water being very luke-warm and not getting hot enough. The heating unit broke 3 times in one year while we were at this place The elevators on the building is constantly broke. The parking lot are very small, you pay $100 per month for parking and numerous times the garage door broke so you couldn't get into the parking garage There are two newer apartments being built right next to Camden. If you could wait until they open, I would recommend moving there as Camden are rather old, overpriced apartments. read more

I have live here for 2 years and there are definitely a lot of pluses. People here are really friendly (in fact, I have a tight knit group of friends that I met here the first year I moved in, and we're still hanging out). That has definitely not happened in any other apartment complex. Also the concierge, Johnstone, is outstanding! I've never met a more helpful or friendly concierge!!Other than the people here, the location is super convenient-I love just walking to Harris teeter across the street for groceries and I love my view of the airport and the Potomac River, as well as being able to bike to most places-speaking of which there is also a capital bike share next to the building as well, which can be super handy. (Also, for those who take buses, Bus stop is right outside entrance). Maintenance requests get taken care of promptly as well. Come see for yourself! It's a great place to live! read more

I moved to Camden Potomac Yard a little over 3 years ago and I can honestly this is the best staff around. Johnstone and Jasmine are amazing. Always friendly and willing to help. In other apartments I lived in I would dread calling maintenance but not here. Whenever I submit a request I know I either DJ, Chris or Marcus will quickly address the concern and make sure to explain they why's, when's and how's it would be resolved. And when you see the staff around the property you can guarantee you will get a smile, a wave or a friendly jab about your favorite football team. read more

We've moved from DC to Crystal City and it's been the best move for us. The Camden at Potomac Yard is a really nice building. It's been 6 months and I absolutely love it here. The staff is very nice,attentive, plans events for residents and cares about the neighborhood. The apartments themselves are in great conditions. Everything was repainted, fixed before we moved in. The parking garage is great and has plenty of space. The noise level is low, only when the train passes by it's a bit loud but that happens maybe few times when we're home. The windows are very sound-proof. What we love is the view to the airport, Potomac and DC monuments. We walk to great restaurants and a huge plaza with Target, Best Buy and IHOP. There's more than 4 lines of buses going around, plenty of taxies, Capital Bike Share and sidewalks. The people living in the building are also nice, it seems like there's a lot of professionals and courteous people. This is much better than DC residential buildings. The rent here is much lower, parking fee is half of what it is in DC, water and gas are also cheaper. Very happy to be here! read more

Camden Potomac Yard Apartments - The kitchens are nice, I like the layout, room and appliances. Very easy to clean and maintain. - Apartments Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

We moved to Camden Potomac Yard just 4 months ago. It was a huge change for us because we were coming from Washington State where we had owned our own home for over 40 years. Choosing an apartment home clear across the country in an unfamiliar area seemed like a daunting task. We toured many different places and finally settled on the Camden, hoping we'd made the right decision! We haven't had an ounce of regret. The staff here is exemplary. Right after we moved in we had a fairly major concern that took some time to sort out and Susan, the manager, made sure it got resolved. That instilled confidence in the management staff from the very beginning. Susan, Kenny and Taylor have always been friendly and helpful. And Barb, Johnston, and the rest of the concierge team are always there to answer questions with a smile. We have had Alex, Humberto and Kanu all come up for minor maintenance tasks. They are quick to respond and do a fantastic job! They often go above and beyond what we ask. Alex even stayed late one evening to be sure our air conditioning was working properly! After being homeowners for so long, we actually feel a bit spoiled. Our biggest job now is taking the trash down the hall and putting it down the chute! It's a little expensive to live in this area, compared to other places we looked. But we think it is worth it - at least at this point (barring a rent hike in the future). The location has been perfect for us. We just walk across the street to Harris Teeter if we need groceries! And it's a nice walk to restaurants and shops at Crystal City or Potomac Yard Center. Or a quick drive to Del Ray or Old Town Alexandria. And, if that's not enough, the metro bus and bike share are right outside our door! We don't really have anything to compare our experience to. But the fact that you rarely see a staff member without a big smile is a pretty good indicator it's a great place to live and work. And I think we would be hard-pressed to find another place we felt so much at home! I will update after we've been here for awhile, but I honestly don't expect there will be any issues. We highly recommend Camden Potomac Yard! read more

This apartment complex is expensive!! But, it is worth every single hard earned dime. The location is perfect! Close to DC, right next to the airport, close to major highways, bus stop out back of the south tower that goes between Braddock Road metro, through Crystal City, all the way to Pentagon City; right across the street from a 24 hr grocery store, and just minutes down the street from movie theater and shopping plaza. The building is very well maintained, clean, and most of all safe. There's a secured entry for the front office/lobby and then secured entries into the main hallway, fitness center, resident lounge, and pool. From what I have observed, the residents are mostly working professionals. I haven't seen many school aged children at all. The units are well built and I really don't hear much from hallway activity, door slamming, neighbors next to or above. I relocated from out of state and signed a lease solely based off of pics online, reviews and communication with the staff. Everyone that I spoke with (which was often, they all knew me by the time I arrived) was very professional, helpful and honest. I didn't see my unit until my move in day. I was a little disappointed that I didn't have stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, and usb outlets, but those are only on certain floors, not mine. I would have preferred new carpet, but it was at least clean. I could tell it wasn't new carpet though. Overall, renting an apartment unseen, I was satisfied with my decision. The staff is amazing. I had all kinda of questions, special request to help make my relocation easier, they were able to answer all of my questions and accommodated me. I'm so thankful for all of them. The complex is currently undergoing renovations. Which is nice, but I know that the rent will be going up even more. I pray that my rent doesn't go up too much if I renew. I would hate to leave here. I've looked online for other apartments and nowhere else is comparable to Camden Potomac Yard. Other apartment complexes seem to be missing something that I want, while camden has it all. I would love to renew and be able to eat at the same time. Lol. read more

I'm here to say only one thing. There might be problems with this building, but Johnstone from the front desk is phenomenal. The whole time I lived there he had been so nice and helpful and supportive that I really just have no words. read more

I have lived at this property for 4 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. The management is always very present when you need them to be, but if you just want to be left alone, they will respect your privacy as well. All requests for maintenance were handled timely and correctly, and I never had an issue with getting through to someone, front desk or management. The pool was a little tiny, but the jacuzzi on the roof was very clutch when I would come home from hockey sore and barely able to walk. Overall, if we weren't moving out of state, we would continue to live here. The area is really growing and blowing up. There is public trans and bike-share right outside the front door. Its not that loud either, I live on the corner apartment right by the airport and trains, and barely hear anything. Thank you Susan, Kenny, Barb, and the Camden Team for a great 4 years. read more

This is my first time writing a comment on yelp, and the only reason I felt compel to do it was because of the horrible experience I had visiting their complex. The person who showed us the apartment complex was rude and we felt like we were bothering her. She never talked and the few times we asked her questions about the place the answers were mostly yes or no. Super unprofessional. I found another apartment, and one of the greatest selling point , besides the great apartment , was how I was treated while we looked at the location. I just thought if she's like that when I'm trying to find an apartment imagine when I actually live there. read more

Best experience I've had with a leasing agent to date: Tiera Hunter is amazing and everyone should ask for her by name. She was so friendly, extremely helpful, and very efficient. We showed up when another housing situation had fallen through, and she found us our dream unit and had us approved and signed in less than an hour. Five stars for Tiera and for this gorgeous Camden. Very impressed already. read more

Camden is wonderfully located with the best staff a resident could ever ask for! Specifically Lexie, Jeanean, and Johnstone are all super helpful and also very nice which makes for a pleasurable living experience. I would rate this complex with 5 stars! read more

NO!!! There are better options in Arlington. First the positives. The staff is very good and they try hard. And it is a great location. (But forget about the idea of taking the metro bus to the metro station. If you do this, it will add another 27 minutes to your commute most days when you add in the waiting time for the bus. These are things I wish I knew when I signed the lease. And the wait on the way back at the end of the day can take a long time as well. But the bus lanes are super quick. I thought it was going to be helpful living so close to a metro bus station, but I ended up driving into DC since it's so much quicker compared to the bus wait, bus travel time, metrotrain wait and metrotrain travel time, which also adds to your parking budget at work so make sure you figure that in when you look at this building.) The negatives: My wife was stuck in the elevator twice (with men she did not know) and once for forty-five minutes. This is an extremely dangerous safety issue on multiple levels. Another negative is that you can only use the outdoor rooftop in between memorial day and labor day since they have a pool on it that is not covered. We suggested this to them that they fence in the pool are and put a cover on it off season. Also the hot tub doesn't work for the second year in a row. We suggested they fix it last year but didn't do so this year since we were ending our lease and moving out. I'd recommend looking at the other buildings in Arlington that have elevators which are working all the time, a year-round rooftop, and hot tubs that are consistently in working order. UPDATE: the manager apparently tried to apologize as you can see below. Sorry, that's a little too late. Proactive effective management is much more appreciated than vapid apologies after the fact. Also I don't appreciate Camden sending our final small balance to a collections agency after we overlooked their single email they sent to us letting us know we had a small balance shortly after we moved out. It was overlooked. Is this what you do to premium tenants who always pay on time? Is this how you treat your good tenants? A second email or a phone call would have been much more professional. But a collections agency? This is what will happen to you if you move here. Also 220 in crystal city is amazing. We used to live there and I regret moving to Camden. I feel so bad for the other tenants who are still stuck at Camden whom we met who were stuck in their leases. Most of them who were able to moved on and it was ironic that the horrible experience in the building actually brought us together as friends. A silver lining, I suppose. read more

Apartment constantly smells like marijuana, to the point that is making me sick. Complained multiple times, and leasing office does absolutely nothing and puts it back on me like this is my problem, and its not, its the building's issue. I pay way too much rent to have to deal with this. Its sad because I can't bring my 1 year old niece over to the house in fear she may get a contact high being so little. If you are looking to live in a luxury apartment this is not the way to go because this is an issue you would not expect to experience in a luxury apartment. read more

I suggest living else where. This place is terrible. Mainly because of their lack of urgency to keep a paying and loyal resident safe. The elevators are constantly down and if they are working you have to pray for your life that you do not get stuck in it. I have been dealing with leak and wasps in my bedroom that I have complained about multiple times and they have every excuse in the book for why the issue is not fixed or will say people came out to "fix" the problem but come to find out problem is not fixed. The amount of money we pay just to live here please put towards hiring vendors and maintenance staff who know more then just the basics to just temporarily fix the problem. If you dont want to spend the money then lower the rent. I suggest potential renters reading this comment to check out the Concord in crystal city I lived there from 2016-2018 and had absolutely NO issues. And whoever from Camden reads these comments no need to respond and say "oh I'm sorry for your experience we strive hard to provide the best service and bla bla bla" STOP with the words and take some action in resolving the complaints and issues this building has. If its above your pay grade reach out to managment/corporate whoever above who can get the job done. Because seesh. This is ree-dunk-culous read more

The location is perfect! Close to DC, major highways, the airport and there is a bus stop just across the street. There is also a running route close by, that skirts the Potomac river, creating a great opportunity for exercise with scenic views. With my experience so far at Camden Potomac Yard I have come to learn that the staff is very friendly, and approachable; always willing to give a friendly smile and help with any issues or concerns I may have. Maintenance is always on the move making improvements and making sure my stay as a resident is thoroughly enjoyable. The view from the pool is breathtaking, and allows for a fun and relaxing day at the pool. As a plus, there is a Harris Teeter across the street. read more

The management of this building is a nightmare. I've lived in several apartment buildings in the Crystal City area and never had any problems. I was excited about the Camden because it was a new construction and has incredible views. Little did I know that the elevators work about 60% of the time! The doors are also a problem ... about half of the time my key card works, the other half I have to go to the front desk and get buzzed in. And the management doesn't seem to care about fixing any of this. For example, when you call to complain that you waited for 10 minutes for an elevator, they snap at you like that's your problem. Also, beware that the rooftop is only open 3 months out of the year. And the building is down wind from a sewage treatment plant. There are some great buildings in the Crystal City area ... the Camden is not one of them. read more

I've been living in this building for the past 8 months. From the time that I've moved in management has been pretty good. All my calls were returned and move in was relatively easy. All the maintenance and other requests that I've made have been handled in a timely and professional fashion. The location is certainly great, but being so close to the airport there appears to be no cell tower. This is not good for business when you work from home. Even on the roof or in the resident room, your service will be iffy. I heard about the pets and although I am not a pet lover, and don't' really get the pet thing-I have to say that I barely run into anyone's dogs. And if I do, thankfully most people have the sense to own either a small or medium sized dog while living in an apartment building. If you sign up for cable, they have a contract with Comcast and if you want the cable it MUST be in your lease. I find something wrong with this, but if you want to get rid of cable for whatever reason you have to wait until your lease is up. I find many of these residents to be snobby, but I'm just living in here and not trying to make friends. Do you like the pool, sun and a perhaps hanging out on the deck on a beautiful summer evening? Find a place that doesn't have a lock down and pool hours from 11-8. Virginia law requires a life guard to be in attendant even if the pool is only 4ft deep! Annoying! How nice would it be to hang on the deck at 8 am or to have dinner with some friends and enjoy the view! As for the security, I do find the doors in the garage to be open most of the time, but this is due to the automation of the doors. When waiting for the elevator the door will click when you're within 4 ft of the door and it will partially open. Convenient, yes. Safe no. I've only had 1 issue with my FOB and it was fixed within 5 minutes. If you live on a certain side of the building you have to deal with the trains. I guess the planes affect the entire building. The do run all night considering it's the freight and metro line. The planes are the same you know how they operate. I use ear plugs and this seems to take care of the problem. You can also hear your neighbors next door, but not above or below you. Makes no sense why they didn't concrete in between the apartments also. I moved out of another apartment complex, because Virginia law doesn't have a limit on jacking up the rent and 20% was just too much. So, one of the questions that I asked when it comes time for the lease to be renewed-how do they handle it? The apartment representative assured me that they work to retain residents and there is only a 1-3% rent increase. I guess we will see if this is true when the lease comes due. I would like to stay here due to most of the conveniences, just have to deal with the inconveniences. read more

Highly satisfied with my choice of Camden Potomac yard. Peaceful and quite, clean and well maintained. The staff here is attentive and responsive with any and all issues via email and phone call; leasing office, concierge and the friendly maintenance staff I see every morning on my way to work. I made the right choice in Camden when I was making my move. It was between this complex or another complex in pentagon row that kept telling me how great their complex was because of the courtyard where you can watch people eat during the summer and ice skate during the winter. For me I would rather have bike trails close by leading into Alexandria or four mile run, a nice shopping center within walking distance, LA fitness next door, an online community board where we can communicate with and help our neighbors, and staff that will help you as best they can with the difficult transition of moving and everyday issues like lost mail. Thank you Barb, Johnston, Susan, Tiera and the rest of the Camden staff read more

I have lived in the Camden Potomac Yard building for just over a year. Initially I was impressed with both the staff, and the building itself. The staff's recent lack of attentiveness and regard for the residences of the building have greatly changed my opinion, however. The building is only serviced by four elevators, two on the north end and two on the south end. Considering that the building is 15 stories (including three levels of below ground parking) having only four elevators already made for slow elevator service. One of the north end elevators broke in late June, and nearly two months later it is still out of service. The residents of the north end of the building wait anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes for elevator service. Most residents avoid taking the elevator at all and take the stairs instead, but the stairs are not always feasible while carrying groceries or on crutches. While I am normally accommodating of building maintenance, the Camden Potomac Yard staff have greatly mismanaged the elevator outage. They have not provided residents with a general timeline of when the elevator will be fixed, and have sent out passive-aggressive emails that insinuate the residents are unreasonable and harassing for asking when the elevator will return to service. Instead of addressing the residents primary concern (when will the elevator return to normal function), the staff have been both opaque and rude. It shouldn't be difficult to explain to residents, "it will take x-amount of time for the elevator parts to arrive, and x-amount of time for the technicians to fix the elevator." Why the staff have chosen to instead send uninformative and passive-aggressive e-mails instead is quite baffling. read more

I have been a resident at Camden Potomac Yard for 4 years. Alex Rivera, from Maintenance, just left my apartment working past his work day to insure that I have heat for the upcoming weather forecast. He is very professional and is very knowledgeable about all the mechanical systems in our building. He has been one of the best maintenance technicians that I have worked with for the 4 years I have lived here. Thank you Alex! read more

I do not recommend Camden, there are two other properties nearby you can rent from. Hallways always smell like weed, neighborhood is filled with trash from nearby construction. Lots of dog that never gets cleaned. Insulation is very poor inside the apartments, you will know what your neighbors are watching on TV. Additionally you electric bills will be enormous from heat remaining on during the winter. Expect $200 for a two bedroom. I do think the management could be more professional and proactive. Everytime you visit them, it's like a hangout, maintenance guys sitting on the tables watching YouTube videos. A professional manager would talk to the construction supervisor next door or call their company to discuss trash problems. Call Arlington PD to do a K9 sweep of the building, unless they abet drug behavior. Crazy Domino's drivers that drive on sidewalks can be also addressed, Domino's are also tenants in this bldg. read more

Great location. Very close to DC & airport. Extremely walkable. My 1st place since moving from the West coast. Overall, it's been a good experience, good community. I decided to move in order to complete my checklist of amenities due to the increase in price. I do anticipate price increases yearly due to the rental market, however my place only met a couple of my wants. I figure if I'm going to pay higher rent, I should have all the of my wants met. All in all, no real complaints. Had a couple of issues w/ people not cleaning up after pet accidents & inoperable elevators. I absolutely love the concierge staff, especially Johnstone. Maintenance staff is friendly and fast with repairs. Leasing office is pleasant, had one disappointing issue, but other than that, I would say this is a beautiful place to live if you're looking for a place close to DC, but not necessarily DC prices. read more

SO many great things to say - excuse me while i ramble! I have now lived in the Camden Potomac Yard for just over 3 years with at least 2 more ahead of me. I have lived in places all over Arlington and the Camden far surpasses anywhere else i've lived. The property is stunning - well-kept, clean, pest free, and updated. The staff are some of the greatest people i've ever met - The concierge staff are friendly and helpful, the leasing/property staff (Tiera, Susan, Lexie, and Jeanean) are on their A game, friendly, beyond helpful, and I feel like i've known them forever and like they're my friends. I might be an atypical tenant in that i enjoy the relationships I form with the staff but i feel that's important. The maintenance staff are incredibly responsive and helpful as well. The location is convenient to Old Town, to north arlington, and to Washington, DC. It is right near the Mt. Vernon Trail and Four Mile Run trail for the outdoorsy folks. The rooftop/pool view of DC is amazing and it feels like a private club. I legitimately don't have one complaint about this community. If i had to live in an apartment for the rest of my life, it would be Camden Potomac Yard. read more

Property is located in a very good location, bus stop nearby, Harris Teeter is across the street. Andrea-the bldg manager is very nice and diligent at what she does, however the rest of the staff is absolutely the opposite. None of the consierge personnel have any soft skills, tact and have a poor proficiency in English. Monthly rent bills are frequently wrong, and make sure you read the lease as they will screw it up too. You can't choose your neighbors, but often you can smell marijuana around the bldg and several residents just openly smoke it on their balconies or just outside in the park. The walls in the apartments are incredibly thin, YOU WILL hear your neighbor sneezing, watching TV or even lowering the blinds. I think the place is overpriced there are several other properties being constructed in the area hopefully it will help lower the rent price and improve service. I would give one star if it wasn't for the general manager and the maintenance team. read more

Great location, close to the city. Great and friendly staff (Tiera Hunter) she will take care of you!!!!

I stayed here for a couple of years while I was staying in the DC area for work, due to its relatively convenient location. When we moved in, the apartments were brand new, empty, management was decent and overall experience was not bad. Here are some details, which I hope may help. Overall Facility: The building quality is decent and mostly clean. This place does have A LOT of pets, so you may hear barking dogs and end up in an elevator with pets all the time - if you are a pet lover, it shouldn't be a problem. Security in this place is a joke, 80% of the times the doors are just not locked, and when they are locked, your fob won't simply work and you can't get in without going to the main office! Not fun when its 2am and its snowing outside! So if you are looking for higher security and ease of access, avoid this place. Management: An absolute mess in the last couple of years. They change managers all the time and there is no sense of accountability. If you are staying in "Camden" and paying as much as this place costs, you deserve better - that's all. They are very unprofessional and incapable when it comes to being ethical and organized. They will charge you wherever they can. If their automated rent system is broken one day - your fault. They lose your signed papers and find that as a reason to charge you. When I moved out, we spent an entire day cleaning the place and left the apartment in spotless condition, they STILL charged us! What is worse is they took it out directly from my account balance - so they left no option. When I tried to dispute this matter, they were simply being unfair and unethical - they misplaced the paper that I signed and provided them, which stated that we were going to clean the apartment on our own, so they found that as a reason to charge us the moving out cleaning expenses, even though the apartment was clean!! Their reasoning during this entire discussion was illogical and unprofessional - kept changing stories and found different excuses to keep the charges. Maintenance: The service order system they have online is easy and convenient - only if you use it online. If you submit a request online, usually they will complete the request the same week. If you call the front office, forget it, they will lose your request and it will never get done. I stayed for a couple of years, not once the management provided yearly maintenance on their own. Renewing Leases: Needless to say, they don't value their longer term customers. They will quote you bizarre rates for the lease renewal and you have to go through the effort of negotiating to bring the rate down to a reasonable amount. Since I was just there for a couple of years for work, I didn't think it was worth it to get a different apartment and move all my belongings. But, if you do end up renewing your lease, definitely negotiate - they will come to an agreement, if you are being reasonable. Location: Convenient. Harris Teeter right next door. Airport - 5 minutes cab ride!! - very useful if you travel for work as much as I did! Target, etc nearby. Pentagon City mall is also 1 stop away and 10 minutes car ride. The city is about 3 stops and a 15 minute car ride. The only thing bad about this location is - It is a long walk to the metro station, about 25 minutes. You definitely can't do it on a daily basis, if you plan to commute by the metro. There is a bus that comes right across from the Harris Teeter - but it stops at 730pm. So if you work late hours, this is useless. Hope this was helpful! Avoid this place if you can and if you are willing to pay a bit more. Check out Meridian properties in Rossyln or Pentagon City - much better location and have heard good things about their management. read more

Camden at Potomac Yard is like a breath of fresh air! Even with all the dealerships within walking distance, you don't need a car! EVERYTHING is walking distance from dining, movies, shopping, you name it! And the apartments are comforting just from the layout. Nice family oriented and pet friendly community! read more
