After living at Ovation for more than a year, I can honestly say that it is one of the cleanest and…read morehighest-quality residential communities I have experienced. During my time here, I have had the opportunity to become familiar with many residential buildings throughout the McLean, Virginia area, and I have found Ovation to be one of the best places in terms of stability, comfort, cleanliness, and overall quality of life. The community is beautiful, peaceful, and exceptionally well maintained. The level of service is excellent, and the leasing office is consistently responsive to residents' requests. The maintenance team also deserves recognition for how quickly and efficiently they respond and complete their work. The amenities are excellent, particularly the fitness center. More importantly, there is a sense of peace and tranquility here that makes Ovation a wonderful place not only to live, but also to relax, feel comfortable, and truly feel at home. I would especially like to recognize Sofia. Sofia is exceptionally helpful, respectful, understanding, and professional. She treats everyone with kindness and is always willing to help. She is patient, friendly, and has an outstanding ability to communicate professionally with residents. What stands out to me most is the way she handles difficult situations. Even during the busiest and most stressful times, she remains composed, finds solutions, and handles situations with excellent judgment. I have never seen her complain or show frustration toward residents. She continues to welcome people with a smile and a positive attitude, even when it is clear that she has had a long or demanding day. Her presence makes things easier for residents. She is approachable, respectful, thoughtful, and genuinely knows how to deal with people. In my opinion, much of the success and positive atmosphere at Ovation is a reflection of its management and staff, and Sofia in particular deserves special recognition for the role she plays in making this community such a pleasant place to live. After more than a year here, I can confidently say that choosing Ovation was an excellent decision

I advise you to not rent here. The management is unhelpful, majority of the front desk folks are…read moreconstantly grumpy, and it's way too expensive for what you get. One example - They switched our payment system and billed us 300 dollars for late payment even though we had auto payments on. Very little comms about switching the system which required rekindling bank accounts. Maintenance had to come in 3 times for the same issue. You get charge for common space electricity. Literal nickel and diming for everything.

We had the opportunity to stay at Dwell Vienna Metro Apartments for 13 months while our home was…read morebeing rebuilt after a devastating house fire. The staff at Dwell took excellent care of us during our stay. Despite multiple turnovers in management while we lived there, the residents needs were met. I would particularly like to commend Richie Greer, who is currently the Manager of the building. His cheerful persona, professional knowledge and consistently rapid response to any issues reflects very well on Dwell Vienna Metro Apartments.

I have been living at Dwell Vienna Metro since spring 2019. When I first moved in, the property was…read moremanaged by a different company, and the experience was excellent. The previous management was responsive, professional, and genuinely attentive to residents' needs. Unfortunately, since the management change in 2022, the overall experience has declined significantly. Since the new management took over, I have experienced ongoing issues, including delayed responses, lack of follow-through, and an overall decline in service quality. Matters that should be simple often take days or even weeks to resolve, and communication is inconsistent at best. My most recent experience with parking highlights just how difficult and poorly managed things have become. I currently pay $75 per month for parking. My primary vehicle is in the shop, and I am temporarily using a rental vehicle as a replacement. Despite this being a straightforward situation, I was told I needed to either make repeated trips to the leasing office to obtain a temporary pass or pay again through their parking system. I made multiple attempts to follow their instructions and went to the leasing office twice between 5:05 PM and 5:18 PM during stated business hours. The office was closed, even though I had been told it would be open until 5:30 PM. This forced me to return again, wasting additional time and effort just to resolve something that should have been simple. There is also a clear pattern of unprofessional behavior in how the leasing office is operated. The office is frequently closed during stated business hours or closes early without notice, making it difficult for tenants to get assistance. On a separate occasion, after being told the office was closed due to "unforeseen circumstances," I returned the following day and observed staff inside the office casually socializing with outside guests who did not appear to be tenants. They were engaged in personal conversations during work hours rather than assisting residents. This kind of inconsistency and lack of professionalism makes it extremely frustrating to rely on the office for basic services. Tenants are expected to follow procedures, yet the office itself is not consistently available or operating in a way that supports residents. This is not an isolated issue. There is a broader pattern of poor management, lack of accountability, and disregard for tenants' time. It often feels like residents are being sent in circles rather than helped. Living here used to be a great experience, but under the current management, it has become unnecessarily stressful. There is a clear decline in service, organization, and professionalism. I would strongly advise potential residents to carefully consider this before moving in.

Absolutely atrocious management company. This place is wildly overpriced for what you actually get…read more The building is poorly managed, the staff is consistently rude and unhelpful, and the amenities are bare minimum at best. The building also has constant elevator issues. The most recent breakdown was so severe that the elevator was condemned by the city and remained out of service for nearly three months. For a building charging luxury-level rent, this level of neglect is completely unacceptable. The biggest issue is the rent increases. They lure you in with a reasonable first-year rate, then hit you with a grotesque increase at renewal under the excuse of "fair market value evaluation." They refuse to negotiate or work with long-term tenants in any meaningful way. It is no surprise there has been a mass exodus of residents recently because of how poorly this property is managed and how tenants are treated. Between the poor management, lack of value, ongoing maintenance problems, and predatory lease renewals, living here has been an awful experience. Do not move here under any circumstances.

I lived at Regent's Park for about two years until I had to say goodbye. I always wanted to review…read morethis community but wanted to wait so I can give a more before, during, and after review. I found that when I was searching for apartments I needed a little in-between snapshot versus just the tour and moving out. When I was first apartment hunting, I found probably 20 places, in which I toured 15, and eventually narrowed down to 3 with this place being on the top 3. Making the appointment was a breeze online and having a guide during my tour was great. Michael was my tour guide and answered so many of my questions. I liked how I gave my budget and he assisted in letting me view those within my range. It was roughly a week or two later I narrowed it down to 2 and wanted one last look but since at the time I lived out of state it was hard to go in person. Michael gave sent me over videos of the available units and all information on it via email. I ended up picking a unit from the communication. It was an easy online process and any questions I had they were quick to answer within the 24 hour window. I was nervous once my move-in time came because I never saw the unit in person yet. But luckily once there and doing the walk-through inspection the unit video that was sent was exactly what mine looked like. Move in was a breeze and I liked that you had a 30-day window if the space worked for you. I really liked how they had basics in the apartment like paper towels in the kitchen and hotel sized toiletries in the bathroom. It was a nice welcome. I had a few maintenance requests once I was settled and from time living in the unit. They were always really efficient and always very kind. Towards the end of my first year, I ended up needing a bigger space and the front office was more than happy to assist me and as a current resident they wanted to make sure I was making the best move; whether that would be transferring or letting the lease ride out. When I moved into the second unit, it needed a little more work than my first unit. I think because my first unit had just been recently renovated. Although the second unit was one of the renovated units, it definitely was one that was renovated awhile back. Still, nothing too crazy and definitely live able. When it comes to parking, for guests it could get hard as there was only a few sections that were free for all. But you could request a guest pass during business hours. I liked that for residents there was either the free parking spots or paid in the garage. It helps to have both options because in the winter you may want to be in the garage. Also definitely believe the office staff when they say towing is enforced. I would see the tow truck often, so be sure to always have your sticker or pass. During my time, I ran into only maybe one or two incidents. It was resolved quite quickly. The only thing I would say is, if you have upstairs neighbors I think the walls are thinner between you and them. I'm not sure if my neighbors had flooring versus carpet but at times my furniture would shake. It's not something that can be controlled but definitely keep that in mind. But I will say the walls between your next neighbors were thick because we barely heard each other. Most of the residents are Regent's were really nice. As someone who didn't wander too much due to work, I loved that Regent's would host events to mingle with your neighbors. They got better with their events with timing because when I first moved most of the events were during work hours and towards the end of my stay they incorporated a lot of after work/weekend events. My move out was pretty easy breezy. Make sure you do your due diligence with cleaning and etc. it helped that during my walk through in the beginning I documented anything that existed prior to be living there so it can't be put back on me. You can always request to have your exit walk through with someone if you're ever worried. All and all, I really enjoyed living here and all the staff. Michael, Mary, and Alex helped me a lot while there. There were some interns and newer staff that I am grateful as well. With any apartments, you won't have perfect but the staff here really made my experience extremely enjoyable. You really get what you're paying for. It was so enjoyable that living next to the metro (which was one of my main reason for moving here) became a secondary perk, the first perk was being a resident at Regents.

After spending 2 years in national harbor, it was time for a change, after checking out a few…read moreplaces I was fortunate to find such a great place in such a short time!!!!! I remember starting the application process and being immediately contacted by the leasing manager Veronica, who helped me through the whole process, friendly and knowledgeable, it was probably the easiest move I've ever made!!!!!! Also she helped me move up my move in date on short notice to help me around my work sked, that resulted in her staying later then he she had to, and she was so happy to do it!!!! Also wanted to point out, when I found the apartment that was to my liking the manager Kristen actually said it was cheaper then the listing price, and was able to process my app at an even cheaper rate, and she gave me all the options how to set up payments and everything else!!! So with that said, the managers of this property are A+!!! As for living here now for 3 months, it's hard to find a better location, there's no noise, the residents here are all extremely nice, the amenities and gym were spotless, they are now closed unfortunately but they are always sending out emails to see what they can do better, parking is extremely easy, and not hard to find a spot in the least. This is all A+, can't ask for anything better So from my traveling bowling league before I moved here I was a little familiar with the areas great food options, but I really had no idea how good it really was 5-10 minute drive from garage you have the following, Harris teeter Whole Foods Trader Joe's Giant (3 of them) Safeway Great restaurants, takeout now, will have dine in soon enough, again these are a 5-10 minute drive, but well within walking distance, will even rate them Vinh Kee 7.5/10 Full Kee 7.5/10 Peking gourmet 9/10 Present 10/10 Marks duck 8/10 Dogwood Tavern 8.5/10 (great bar) Dogfish head ale house 6/10 Four provinces Irish pub (didn't make it there) - Jimmy Johns, subways and jersey mikes on rt 7 - Eden center with all the Vietnamese stores and restaurants - lazy mikes ice cream 10/10‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ - I think about 4 CVSs, a Walgreens that I've seen, 2 within a 10 minute walk - 3VABC liquor stores, a bunch of wine stores, and downstairs from apartment you have casual pint, with tons of beer and food selection - Eddie Vs, fogo de chao, Chima, Fleming's about a 10-15 minute drive if your into steakhouse dining If your into fitness, the walking routes here are amazing, plenty of trails, and safe sidewalks, great bike trails as well All in all I couldn't be happier living here in the 3 months I've lived here, and that's with covid 19 really altering the way we all live our lives I strongly suggest considering this place to be your next place to live, I think you'll be happy

I moved in during the pandemic and so far I enjoy living here at the Loren! The apartment has…read moremodern features, updated washers + dryers, pet friendly, and also attentive and friendly staff who provide regular community updates and events. The maintenance staff is also generally responsive and once came to my house 15 mins after I sent my service request. Everything is always kept spotless and tidy which I like. The lobbies + common rooms are gorgeously decorated. There is a small gym and sunbathing lounge w/ cool off pool during summer. It is a small apartment community and feels like living in a hotel when walking down the halls. For the price we really are satisfied with our choice. Some places where I see room for improvement to a 5 star property is resumed regular shuttle service to the metro. The apartment is over a mile away from east falls church via walking and so it is NOT convenient to get to without a car FYI. Another reason I didn't give 5 stars is because we have had multiple power outages in the short time I have been here so far. Once we lost power for 5 hrs! It seems prone to blackouts in summer months, so I really think we should have a backup generator to prepare for the summer months.

The good: Clean, AMAZING staff (shout out to: Giang, Mueed, Girma, & Liseth. Honestly just everyone was so kind and helpful), location!!, insulation ?? (Idk I kept my thermostat off and my apartment was fine thru all seasons!) Not so good: hallway noise (barely ever heard my upstairs neighbors or those to the l/r of me but I definitely heard noise from hallway - got a foam insert for the door and it significantly reduced it), price - I think we paid more for location than for apartment features (we didn't get the what now seems to be the standard key fob access until a couple months ago) To speak on other reviews: I didn't get a gift card for this, and I had guests stay multiple nights and they never paid for parking (not thru West Broad, but there's literally street parking that's free behind the building). Bozzuto left such a good impression that I looked for only Bozzuto managed communities for my next place (really only moved bc falls church felt a little sleepy to me).

I was the first resident when this beautiful building opened back in early 2016. I watched the…read morepopulation in the building grow over time, and made lots of friends there. I also experienced quite a few personnel changes, from the office staff to concierges to maintenance, never having a problem. My retirement and purchase of a house saw me leaving the building, as well as Falls Church, in May 2023. Just this past week, I called the office to inquire about the availability of their guest suite June 21-23, 2024, for an upcoming reunion weekend in Falls Church with events in several locations. Being able to stay in the guest suite would have made walking to these events possible. I was told the suite was indeed available for those dates, and since it has to be rented by a resident, I contacted one of my friends in the building. She went online to fill out the paperwork but had a problem at the end as it would not submit. So she went down to the office to complete the paperwork and give them payment for it, which is required at the time of application to secure the reservation. Imagine her surprise, as well as mine, when she was told that the guest suite is "on hold" for those dates; no payment yet however. Excuse me? I was told by the office that it is available for those dates - why would I have asked my friend to go rent it for me otherwise? She stressed that to the office staff, both of which denied telling me that, and told them she was ready to pay for it immediately. They declined the paperwork and the payment, insisting it's on hold, and said they'd let her know in a few weeks if it becomes available. That is totally unacceptable to me, and not the way to treat long time current and former residents. Recently, there has been a complete turnover of office personnel, and I've heard from quite a few current residents, saying their interactions with the new management has not been pleasant and they'd rather not even deal with them. This is definitely NOT the way previous management dealt with residents. I am not pleased with the outcome, and won't inquire about staying there ever again, after having been lied to and then essentially being called a liar myself.

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.
