It's got tons of trees, walking trails, indoor and outdoor pools, a tot lot, a grilling area, a car wash area, and even a small scenic lake with a lovely seating area. There's also regularly organized community activities like ice cream socials, and it's great for kids since there's so many friends for them to pick from. It's a gated community, which is nice if you live there and want to let your kids run wild around the community, but is a bit of a pain if you're visiting a friend since the resident needs to call down to get you on a list of visitors. I believe the largest condos are 2 bedrooms, but I've heard of a few residents who bought 2 condos next to each other and converted their condo into larger bedroom condos. It does mean double the HOA fees though, which are significant.

Between the flies that…read morebreed and live in the pipes, the wonky air conditioning and heat , and the *constant* power outages, it's frustrating enough. 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.

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.

I lived here for 13 years in two different condos. Both were extremely nice for their own reasons…read more I loved the layout of our first condo as the bedrooms were on opposite sides of the living room and dining area, which gave us each plenty of privacy. The second condo I lived in was also a very nice layout as the bathrooms separated the bedroom walls, so could not hear each other. The reason I moved was for a second floor, remodeled condo. They all have in unit washer and dryers, and there is plenty of parking, one assigned garage space (or two depending on the size of your condo) and plenty of spaces in the lots available for visitors and extra cars. The amenities are a little outdated, such as the clubhouse however still very nice and usable. The pool is beautiful and there is a fitness course that runs through the property. The property is enclosed and you have to have a gate pass to get in so not a lot of through traffic.

Tyson's I and II are close by, as well The Boro shopping center - Safe neighbourhood - Management is very responsive and polite. Every time I have interacted with Ms. Brenda she has been nice and professional. - Since these are condos, every unit is a bit different. I enjoyed the layout of my particular unit, especially since I was on the top floor. - Great prices. I paid a little over $1500/month for a one bedroom. I believe other units in the neighbourhood had comparable rent rates. - Part of my rent covered the condo fee so I had to pay the condo fee myself. As such, I'd like to point out that condo fee actually *decreased twice*! Not by a whole lot but still every little bit counts. Cons: - The walls and floors are not the thinnest, but also not the thickest. I lived on a top floor, end unit and *still* had noise issues. I believe the buildings are made out of mostly wood which does not prevent sound or motion transfer. I knew when my neighbours were home because I could feel and hear the front door slam or cabinet doors closing. I even heard the neighbour below me sneeze! For my sanity, I played white noise which helped a lot. - Not a whole lot of amenities Overall I would recommend Fountains at McLean as a renter. If you're sensitive to noise definitely get a white noise machine and a top floor unit!

The renters experience with a third party company shouldn't be a reflection on this great condominium complex. The newly elected HOA leadership is terrific and overseeing many improvements to the community. Brenda and Trudy at the office are always responsive and communicative. Repairs are underway for things like external staircases, roofing repairs, etc., which can be noisy, but there's always a lot of forewarning. Amenities are: pool (awesome in the summer), decent little gym, sauna, game room in the HOA building with rentable party space, lots of green space for pets, doggie bag stations, well-lit at night, close proximity to Harris Teeter, community is next to bus stops on Jones Branch that go straight to metro. For folks who work at Freddie Mac, this is the dream commute -- takes about 15 seconds to walk to work. Overall, a great community. People are friendly, and HOA is professional.

My neighbor would watch TV at a regular volume but the noise would very clearly come through my walls. And noted by other reviewers, I was not a fan of property management team. They are extremely picky and sort of ridiculous. I had a single empty bottle on my porch, literally my porch was empty except for that glass bottle. I received a notice from the property team with a picture of the bottle indicating that I was violating community guidelines and this was a cease and desist letter. You can't even have an empty plant pot on your porch. Otherwise, I liked living here. Close to the metro and the amenities were nice. I wish the pool was opened later but I was happy with the gym and pool in general.
