I cannot say enough good things about my time at The Bolden at the Boro. We have truly loved living here my children have thrived in this vibrant, resilient community, and the neighborhood has been incredibly convenient for our family. A special thank you to the management team and, in particular, Mr. Cesar. Their professionalism and dedication are unmatched. Even during challenging times, such as heavy snowstorms and other urgent situations, they provided real-time, reliable service that made us feel completely supported. I am currently leaving to pursue my PhD at the University of Washington in Seattle, but I am already looking forward to the possibility of returning to The Bolden in the future. I highly encourage any families looking for a positive, well-managed environment to consider making this your home. Thank you, Bolden team, for such a wonderful experience! read more

The management at Bolden has been terrible to deal with. My AC has been broken since April 2nd, 2026 and despite months passing, the issue still has not been properly resolved. The only "solution" management has provided is an extremely loud window unit that barely cools the living room even when outdoor temperatures are only in the 80s. It doesn't effectively cool the apartment, and the noise is so disruptive that it barely lets me sleep at night. No meaningful urgency, and no adequate short-term accommodation (like a credit or temporary accommodation) while this drags on. Going months without functioning AC especially with temperatures reaching into the 90s and 100s is unacceptable. I haven't had a decent night's sleep in months, and the lack of proper action from management has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. read more

I was starting to give up hope. I love the Rise and Bolden but addressing basic residents concerns was lacking. The addition of Nicole Singleton as the property manager, I can say I have seen a vast improvement of day to day operations and addressing residents needs in a timely and resolute manner. That being said, the location itself/ apartment layout/ as well as amenities are second to none offering a luxury living lifestyle at an affordable market price. To anyone planning on moving to the area I would do it again without hesitation and encourage you to choose Bolden and The Rise at the Boro for a high-quality, supportive living experience. read more

Summary: The apartment is nice, but ongoing management issues completely overshadowed the experience and made living here a constant frustration. I lived at Rise (managed by Kettler, same as Bolden, but Rise is showing as permanently closed on Yelp even though it is open) starting November 2024, and throughout my tenancy I experienced repeated operational and communication issues that required constant follow-up and escalation. 1) Wrongful towing (May 2025): My vehicle was towed overnight due to an allegedly "expired permit." I had been issued a parking permit at move-in and was told to keep it in my car, which I did. I later learned that I had been mistakenly given an old-style permit, even though the complex had already switched to a new system before I moved in. I had parked without issue for approximately seven months and received no warnings or notices. On Memorial Day morning, I spent hours locating my car, dealing with the towing company, contacting the RISE emergency line, and arranging transportation to the impound lot. I paid $230 out of pocket to retrieve my vehicle. Management later reimbursed this amount, which was simply correcting their own error--not a goodwill gesture. 2) No available parking despite paying monthly + vehicle damage (July 2025): Late one night, I returned home to find no available parking spots on multiple garage levels, despite paying monthly for parking. Front desk staff were unable to assist and advised me to park on the street. The following morning, I discovered hit-and-run damage to my vehicle. I visited the leasing office multiple times seeking assistance and resolution, but experienced delays, inconsistent communication, and a lack of follow-through. I had to repeatedly initiate contact to keep the issue moving. 3) Unresolved move-out refund check (November 2025-present): I moved out on November 10, 2025 and was owed a prorated rent refund. Since then--now over two months--I have been told repeatedly that the refund check was "cut and sent," then reissued, and later "expedited." Each follow-up resulted in another assurance that I would receive the check soon, but no actual resolution. As of mid-January, the refund still has not been received, and this issue remains open. Across all of these situations, the most consistent issue has been poor communication and lack of ownership. Escalation was offered in writing but not acted on promptly. Requests for meetings with upper management were acknowledged but not scheduled. Timelines were missed, and information from staff was often inconsistent. Takeways: The building itself is nice, but management processes were unreliable and required persistent escalation to get results. Some improvements have been made, but unresolved issues remain even months after move-out. Prospective residents should weigh the quality of the property against the risk of management-related frustrations. read more

Rise and Bolden are conveniently located in the Boro, within a 5min walk to the metro, but that is about all they have going for them. Their website doesn't allow you to filter by rise and/or bolden. What it does allow is for you to schedule a tour with their agent. Many websites have this functionality. I scheduled a tour, I received a confirmation and subsequent reminders. On the day and time of the tour though? The concierge points me to an empty office. We wait outside, the disheveled leasing agent returns with a customer, speaks, and then the customer leaves. He doesn't greet us, doesn't shake our hand. He plops himself down in his chair and is visibly annoyed with our presence. He isn't aware of any appointment. He claims I don't have one. When I show him proof, he says OH! And he starts looking in the system and finds it. Then he gives an elaborate excuse about how the system isn't working and there are duplicate bookings and they're not "really scheduled". For the record, there were no other customers in the building and instead of honoring our appointment, this man spent 15 minutes explaining why he couldn't help us or show us an apartment. Finally, he offers to schedule it for another week, claiming more apartments will be available in two weeks. We agree, giving him the benefit of doubt. He schedules it, seems upset that he is working the Sunday we chose, sent us a confirmation email, and then sent us on our way. We put it in our busy calendars where we literally have to carve out space to make this and subsequent appointment. And what happens two weeks later? The professional leasing agent no shows. He left the office early. He went home without canceling our appointment. He didn't even let the concierge know because she had to check his office to confirm "his backpack is gone." And that was the last straw. If the professional staff treat potential customers like this, blatantly wasting our time and mismanaging theirs, then it's reasonable to assume that is how they run these properties and treat their residents. Absolute pass. We struck this off our list and suggest you do the same. It's a renter's market right now and you deserve better! read more

Amenities fees: $450 Parking fees: 100 per car Administrative fees to process your online rent: $7.95 Trash: $15 The apartment is convenient if you work in the area. Otherwise there's not much in the shopping center yet. Whole foods is below so that's convenient for groceries. Bolden is considered the forgotten child between Rise. No one is ever at the leasing office on the 9th floor for you to approach. Emails takes forever. There's not really any structure to the bolden apartment. You are basically living in a nice condo without any luxury service such as concierge, package receiving or delivery. If you need to mail something out, you would have to the actual store front (ups/FedEx/USPS). The Amazon hub was a horrible idea, especially since it's down in the basement area with no service to troubleshoot with the Amazon Hub agent if your package is stuck or the doors are not opening. Most of the time the mail couriers are careless with the package and may enter the wrong apartment number in the Amazon hub. If you're receiving packages over night or from lasership, they will be left in front of the lobby door, not inside. There are no signs for the mail couriers and delivery person to head down to the mail room in the basement. I've redirected a handful of people to the mail room. Food delivery is not convenient. I've seen food left in the front lobby door because the directory box is not working. I've dealt with drivers who cancel the orders because they are affraid to be ticketed just to drop off food. There so definitely be a dedicated food delivery parking spot in the front. But instead residents who refuse to pay the monthly parking fees have taken up those spaces. When you're walking around the block you may be hit by cars coming out of the garage. Signs were recently added to "watch for pedestrians" only after someone's dog was hit. Still, the sign gets knocked down. Bolden gym seems to be open to other buildings. There are gym trainers who constantly bring their group of people to train them at the bolden gym. This was the frustrating part because you can't even enjoy your own apartment gym without having these trainers bring in their group of clients taking up space, especially during the pandemic. Since it's not the client's apartment they was no urgency in wiping down the equipment use or putting weights back. Additional things to note: Bolden does not have a pet wash area, but rise does. Walls are thin. You can hear your neighbors cough, smoke, giggle and their TV. Two stars because my experience was great when Riley was around to address many issues caused within the apartment buildings (smokers). I wouldn't recommend renting at Bolden unless you have to. read more

I can only address the Bolden and the warning is not to live here especially if it's on the 5th floor. There is structural issue and you will literally hear the elevator knocking back and forth every 30 seconds all day and night as it's in use. At first I thought my neighbors were putting up pictures but then realized that this constant pendulum knock is not from a person. This will drive you insane and it's not going to be a quick and easy fix. Another issue is guest parking; good luck with that because you'll have to go through another building. Another major issue is a bunch of neighbors throughout the hall smoking weed. I don't care what people do but the smell permeates everywhere and you can't just close it off; management say that it's not allowed but there's no enforcement (maybe because they smoke as well!). Overpriced and crappy place to live. read more

Things have been going downhill since management switched from Kettler to WhyHotel. Feels like the management kinda treats Bolden like an ugly stepsister to Rise. Nobody is ever in the Bolden leasing office for assistance. Furthermore, package delivery is a nightmare, as it's always a grab bag whether things will be delivered to the Amazon Locker, outside my door, downstairs by the intercom for anyone to take, or in the entire wrong building (once had a package delivered to Verse and received no communication about it until I spent a half hour hounding the Rise office -- because again, nobody actually works at Bolden anymore -- to hunt it down). Riley and the Kettler team are so sorely missed. Besides that, the building has a nice rooftop sky lounge on the 9th floor (connected with Rise) that occasionally has nice events hosted by the management, and there is a decent fitness center that is enjoyable when not being infiltrated by randos. The pool is a bit of a joke though (maybe a smidge wider than a single lap lane and about 1/2 the length). In regards to the surrounding area, it is kinda cool being in the Boro as it is expanding with the Whole Foods, various restaurants, the theater, and the Tysons malls nearby, but worth noting that the Whole Foods traffic (especially coming in and out of the garage beside the Bolden entrance) is often quite vicious. read more

First of all let's talk about COVID-19 safety! Nohemi, toured with a mask on and practiced social distancing; I was very comfortable touring the property. In addition to feeling incredible my safe, I was blown away with the attentiveness of the leasing staff and the overall quality and cleanliness of the property. This is the first Class-A property that I have been to that has everything, and is centrally located in the middle of everything. I can't wait to move in! read more

Nohemi lead a great tour of both Bolden and of the Rise properties! I can't wait to move in! Thanks Nohemi

I toured this building and I met Nohemi. She was very kind and very informative about the property and new businesses in the area. However, I am looking at other places to lease but absolutely LOVED the customer service and warmth of your tour. read more

This neighborhood is fabulous. The apartments are brand new and gorgeous. Management is helpful and responsive. You will absolutely have a luxurious experience living here. If we did not need to relocate for a new job opportunity, I would absolutely continue to live here and extend my lease. read more

Today we found the perfect apartment at the Bolden thanks to Riley! The whole place is beautifully decorated, the amenities are great, and it's just a really cozy place. The view at sunset is also picture perfect. We heard other people come into the leasing office who have been living there and they seemed to love it. Riley was amazing and we can't wait to move in! read more

Finally approved to live at the Brand new Bolden at the Boro! Can't thank Riley Beiro enough for his support during the process. It was a little lengthy but he was great at keeping me informed and up to date. I currently live in a Kettler property managed by Steven and Melissa and I'm happy to be moving into yet another great one! Can not wait to get my official move in orders and be one of the first to experience this amazing building. read more
