I can't sleep in my own apartment because it's way too hot. I pay $2,600 in total per month for this place. that is way too much for a building with so many issues that the staff takes their sweet time fixing. Don't waste your money on an apartment here.

Let's not forget the constantly malfunctioning elevator, the exciting moments when all the entrances except the front one decide to freeze up and stop opening with your pass, and the fun challenge of hauling the blue shopping carts they offer for hauling your stuff inside up and down several steps - instead of a ramp. (That would make too much sense - we already have one ADA compliant entry. Two would apparently just be excessive.) There's also frequently a smell of gas coming from the side of the building (when we told the front desk they said it was nothing to worry about, but for the sake of full disclosure, thought I should let it be known) But as a fun bonus, you can also have the wonderful experience of breathing in ALL the carcinogens that your neighbors choose to bless you with. The cigarette smoke is so intense and comes through the vents into *your* unit and now all of your stuff gets to smell like cigarette smoke too! Fantastic! And the best part is, you don't even have to live next to that neighbor in order to get that charming experience. And - when you go to complain to management - you get told that there's nothing they can do, since this building was built in the dark ages, and they have literal bylaws protecting indoor smoking! Awesome! So yeah, the location is great, and it has some of the best prices in McLean - but those prices are the way they are for a reason.

Our apartment (in Dupont) has some great character and the management company has been incredibly helpful starting with our move-in process (shout out to Tony, such a great leasing agent) to their office staff (Deedee) and the maintenance manager Ray. I'd definitely recommend this management company and properties (if they're anything like the one we live in) to anyone moving into or around the DMV area. Definite plus? I've never seen a bug in our lower level apartment other than a giant spider. And I have SEEN some DC bugs in my day. Only complaint would have to be that yes the properties are older so you'll occasionally have to deal with a cold shower here and there when the pipes are rebelling in the winter :)

We stayed here for almost three years in a 2 bed, 2 bath. It is not perfect, but in my opinion I…read moredon't think any apartments really can be. I think all of the staff try their best to help, and most of our maintenance requests were handled within a day or two. The only instance of maintenance feeling a bit slow was when our AC was broke in the summer and it took about a week and we had to go in the office to get them to come help. The apartments are old, including appliances, counters, etc., but it all works. The mobile washing machine is kind of trash, but still beats shared laundry without a doubt. Sometimes the office is closed/left unattended without notice which can be a bit annoying if you need something, but they respond well to email. Sadat is great, and Gloria (newer I think) is also not bad. I don't recall the maintenance workers names but they are always working and trying their best it seems. They even helped us get back in our apartment after we got locked out (free of charge!!). The pool lifeguards left a bit to be desired. There were two of them but they would often take their 15 minute breaks at the same time and make everyone clear the pool. Why not just take their breaks separately? They were also always on their phones (doesn't matter for me I can swim), which could be concerning for some. Guest parking is a bit expensive but is available. Our rent went up ~110 a year over our three year stay, which feels rough but is probably standard with all apartments. Location is great. Metro close, Safeway close, nice walking locations close, pretty quiet area. Can't complain much about this. Overall I think this is a great place to stay for a couple of years and the staff really do try it seems.

Upon moveout, they accused me of lying about cleaning the carpet (I'd gladly cop to things I did do, but I steam cleaned that sucker myself). They also refused to give any information to a prospective new landlord checking on my history. Apparently this is a blanket policy; they will not give any information about any renters, so if you intend to move elsewhere, be aware that they'll put up a brick wall.
