Unfortunately the building has run into some issues - the garage doors have been broken (open) for almost a month and the building air conditioning has been broken for over a month. In the middle of DC July (the thermostat shows 85 in the lobby) . At first an inconvenience but now a potential hazard. We've been told we're waiting on a bidding process by the building owners. Hopefully it's resolved before this turns into an August crisis. read more

I have lived in this apartment a few different times. It has generally been a good place to live. Lately there have been some significant problems though that the management company has refused to deal with. Right now I am dealing with an upstairs neighbor who is making a ton of noise by slamming heavy things onto the floor all day and night, and Siena Park is not taking that seriously. They told me that if it was happening during the day, then that was not a problem since it was not happening during their "quiet hours" - I guess that in theory, slamming a sledgehammer onto the floor all day long would be fine, as long as you stopped doing that after 10:00 pm. I told them that I might need to move out of the apartment due to the noise, since I work from home, and they replied that even if I continued to pay my rent every month for the rest of the lease, they would charge me some kind of early vacating fee that was the equivalent of one month's rent for moving out early. What if I was traveling and ended up being away from the apartment for a while - would that also be some kind of early vacating situation that I would need to pay a fee of thousands of dollars for? If I am paying rent every month, and complying with the terms of the lease, why does it matter how often I am physically in the building or whether I sleep here every night? In any case, I have seen this happen before after many years of apartment living, where some crazy tenant will keep harassing or threatening their neighbors and the management company or landlord will not address it until it finally leads to some kind of incident. This whole neighborhood in general has really gown downhill with significant increases in violence, drugs, homelessness, crime, etc. - if you are going to pay thousands of dollars a month for a small apartment, check out Rosslyn, Clarendon, Shirlington, Ballston, really any area of Arlington County other than Columbia Pike. Certainly the local apartment buildings around here and the trashy tenants living in them are a reflection of that decline. read more

As a returning resident to Siena Park, I am extremely upset to share that the current apartment I moved into was falsely advertised on the website. In summary, the apartment does not match the floorplan management claimed it had at all. It is clear that the apartment management either does not know the true floor plan and square footage of my unit, or that someone made a mistake in listing the unit and I am being made to pay for it.   November 20th: I applied to Unit 212 at Siena Park. The floorplan (floor plan a06) stated the unit was 640 sqft and had a balcony, walk-in closet, and washer and dryer outside of the bedroom. November 30th: The lease was countersigned. December 5th: I asked management for a copy of the floor plan as it was not on the lease. They sent the a06 floor plan once again, which stated that the unit was 640 sqft and had a balcony, walk-in closet, and washer and dryer outside of the bedroom. January 25th: I move into the unit to find that it did not match the floor plan it was advertised with. There was no balcony, no walk-in closet, the washer and dryer were inside the bedroom, and the unit appeared smaller than 642 sqft. The property manager Yesmin met with me later that night and explained that the a06 floor plan for the apartment was correct (it is not), and that there is a special notice on the website that 2nd floor units differ from their depicted floor plans on the website and do not have balconies (no such notice exists currently nor when I applied). She also claimed that the unit was offered at $225 below market value, which was not relevant given they countersigned the lease at our current rate for the unit we applied for.    January 26th: Management explained that all they could do is waive our parking charges or have us move into an apartment much higher than the current rent for our unit. They also sent in a floor plan completely different than the a06 floor plan (2.04 in the image attached) claiming that it is the floor plan for the unit. The second floor plan they sent still does not match our unit, as there is no door separating the bedroom from the closet area with the washer and dryer. This floorplan also claims the unit is nearly 100sqft larger than the original a06 floor plan sent to me! I was very excited to move back to this community, but I feel I have been locked into a unit that was not what I asked for. This debacle has shown nothing but a lack of competence and a lack of accountability on the part of management. read more

Good: Helpful and responsive staff. Nice rooftop. No pest problem. Great location. Safe area. Secure building. Bad: Thin walls and floors (& now with vinyl flooring instead of carpet, which makes the noise worse) & negligent neighbors who let their dogs bark for hours on end. You can hear neighbors alarms and their dogs barking thru the walls or floors, sometimes for several hours at a time. read more

I've been a resident at Siena Park since 2020 (with one year spent abroad) and when this place used to be awesome. I genuinely love the location and many of the residents. But the building itself and management team have gone downhill year after year with amenities, services, and security all degrading while prices have increased well above the market. The management team likes to boast about dumb "amenities" like Bluetooth shower heads that don't work. Things are constantly breaking in the building, and it takes management months (looking at you garage doors, gym equipment, coffee machine, and common area A/C - during peak summer) or years (gym lights) to fix. The parking garage doors break often, and it takes months for them to be repaired. The last time the garage doors were broken and remained open, cars were broken into and vandalized. Only then did management promptly fix the doors. The garage doors are once again broken (over a month) and management is still charging residents the monthly $150 parking fee. There's been no urgency to fix the garage doors despite 19+ cars recently broken into in the garage next door. Siena Park advertises controlled access parking an amenity on the website but this is false or misleading advertising under consumer protection law (e.g., Virginia Consumer Protection Act - VCPA), even if not intentionally deceptive. They cannot advertise a security feature, charge for it, then not maintain it. Management is a revolving door, inconsistent, and the current manager is the worst of the worst. She constantly demonstrates a lack of responsibility, has terrible customer service and is incredibly rude. She has little consideration for good tenants. When I raised concern with my windows which were collecting a significant amount of condensation which began spilling onto the windowsills, my maintenance ticket was almost immediately closed without resolution. I then spoke to one of the maintenance crew and was told it was a building-wide issue, and other residents have submitted tickets and complained. Residents were advised to: 1. use a dehumidifier, if they own one; 2. turn on the fan on the thermostat for 10-15mins; and/or 3. use the exhaust in the bathrooms when showering. When I continued to press management noting that I do not own a dehumidifier and don't plan on investing in one, I was further advised that I could install thermal drapes at my own cost to help keep the windows from being so drafty. The above guidance is really unacceptable. Residents are being asked to bear additional costs to "fix" a known building-wide issue instead of the building actually fixing the issue by upgrading/replacing the faulty windows. It is the landlord's responsibility to maintain fit and habitable premises, maintain the premises in such a condition as to prevent the accumulation of moisture, make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition, and maintain in good and safe working order and condition all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, and other facilities and appliances, including elevators, supplied or required to be supplied - among other duties. Nowhere in the rental agreement does it state that residents shall be expected and/or responsible to absorb additional costs for maintenance or repairs for issues not caused or created by the resident. Packages: The front desk concierge who ensured packages were securely placed in Amazon lockers, the package room, or in the package room refrigerator (i.e., food deliveries, home meal prep kits like Hello Fresh) was replaced with an ineffective "ButterflyMX" system. Now packages are haphazardly left out in the open foyer, on the old concierge desk, or next to the package room. read more

I am updating my review and rating (from 2 to 4 stars). The person that many people disliked left. As a result, my resident experience improved. Some of the concierge people that had an attitude left as well. Now, the staff overall is way more pleasant and easygoing. They also fixed the bbq grills on the rooftop. People were using it on Independence Day. Lastly, they now have an Amazon Hub (code-controlled lockers) in the lobby by the offices and coffee machine. Definitely loved that. Thank you for making these improvements Siena Park. I will miss you. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - There are things I love about this apartment and things that I absolutely hate. The apartment is nice and secured, for the most part (Jeremy is GREAT. The rooftop was pretty and clean every time I went up there (though others apparently have found pet poop up there). The lobby was always clean (in my experience, though others have complained about it being dirty?). There's a Starbucks machine on the first floor. There's a free apartment fitness center on the second floor and an Xsport Express gym on the first floor (for paying members). They have a garage where lévela B2 and B3 are for residents only. They almost always have a concierge in the lobby. The concierge almost always opens the locked lobby doors for you when they know you and see you coming. They can deliver packages and leave them IN your apartment. They have a room with a fax machine, printer, and Mac computers. They host seasonal events for the residents. The bad... it costs $100/month to park in the garage, which is common in this area. Customer service is hit or miss. They can be VERY nice and professional, but sometimes they are dismissive and make smart comments that sting. The bbq grills on the rooftop didn't work the two times I tried to use them. The pool is smaller than most apartment pools I've seen. The apartment has a bar/restaurant in its first floor, so you can hear drunk fights and yells late in the night, prompting residents to call the police (which has happened this year). You can hear the fire alarm from the apartment next door, which sometimes go off late at night. I remember it going off every so often when I first moved in. I would always wake up late at night smh. People like to drag race and play music loudly by the apartment late at night, waking us up. The garage level B1 is basically free for all to use because the garage entry/exit has been broken for a while, so residents don't even need to use their keycard that they pay for on a monthly basis ($100). I absolutely HATE the people who charge us for using the parking garage. They like to play games and don't answer questions. They keep dodging my questions. Despite all the bad stuff I mentioned, I still liked the apartment because of its convenient location and it was nice enough for me. Plus, it was the cheapest apartment I could find in Arlington when I first signed the lease... the cheapest one that was nice, conveniently located, and came with a garage, concierge, and washer/dryer. Other nearby apartments charged way more and didn't even have a washer/dryer in each apartment. Also, their walls are thicker than the walls of other apartments. I'm giving two stars because they've pissed me off enough times. read more

Prices have increased while building amenities/services such as concierge and good maintenance crew have disappeared. Management has been inconsistent with the latest manager having terrible customer service and being incredibly rude. Have lived here several years and she has little consideration for good tenants. Better properties available in this area now for this price point, will be looking elsewhere after this lease. read more

I'm thrilled to pay $200 a month for parking two vehicles (wife and I) in a garage full of non-driving jackasses. Not even two months into living here, my vehicle is hit by another resident with substantial damage. Instead of confronting the non-driving vehicle owner, I thought I'd go through the apartment management for help. I asked them for assistance, and they promptly went to their legal team to cover their own asses. Then said they can't/are unable to identify the vehicle (I have pictures) in order to contact the resident. They claimed the parking garage management couldn't help either. So basically if you can make it in here to park you're good to go because no one can identify your license plates. Which is interesting since you should be able to differentiate between residents and non-residents for towing purposes at a minimum. Never mind the $200 paid each month. Instead we can't help you so contact your insurance or law enforcement after nearly two weeks of waiting for non-assistance. Great! Amazing! Completely taking care of residents in this place!!! Just when convenient.....maybe. of course when it comes to integrity no one here is doing the right thing so forget it. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at SP. The only reason I ended up moving out is to buy a home. The neighbors were friendly and the staff (particularly Taylor and Jeremy) were amazing. They were super helpful for my move out during the COVID situation. The location couldn't be better and the apartments themselves were large and comfortable. Highly recommend read more

Was a tenant here for 3 fantastic years. There are a number of great things I could say about this place. The staff is awesome, the location is great, and the amenities are terrific (roof top lounge area?! Heck yes!). Made great memories here and this will be a place I look back on fondly. Pros: * Lots of decent restaurants nearby and the Giant grocery store is next door. If you wanted to, you could never go more than a 1 mile radius and have most of what you needed. There's a bus stop across the street which I used on occasion. * All of the staff members are incredible - I've never had a negative interaction with anyone. Michelle, Jeremy, Kenya, Luis... all fantastic. * Moving in and out were both a breeze - the loading dock is easy to use and reserve. * The place is spotless - I never saw a bug in 3 years. * Safe a secure place as there are fob readers on every door and the elevator requires fob use. This could also be a pain if you were trying to carry something with two hands! Cons: * If you are from another part of the country, the rent might be hard to swallow. It's cheaper than living in DC, but is not "cheap". If you keep going down the Pike you can find cheaper places, but not nearly as nice. * Parking is an issue, particularly guest parking. There is a parking lot in the building (not under control of Siena Park), and it is very expensive (18$/day, a "day" is more than 4 hours). There is minimal street parking. It was hard to have any kind of get-together with family/friends as I knew they were going to have to blow a ton of money on parking fees. read more

This is a really solid apartment complex. I'd probably give it a 4.5 overall, but no harm in rounding up for such a solid place. The apartments are well-constructed, noise from neighbors is minimal at best, and the amenities are decent but not amazing (partially due to COVID). I really like that the apartments now have vinyl/wood style flooring in the living rooms. The pool is pretty nice, though the hours are limited even without COVID due to it being in the interior courtyard and Arlington requiring a lifeguard. Other amenities - gym, rooftop, lounges, etc. are solid but not spectacular. Area has some good restaurants and bars and building is right next to Giant and Starbucks. The staff is really great and responsive, and maintenance is equally good for the few small issues I had while living here; the new Amazon hub is a great add for getting packages after hours. I've heard negative things about the parking garage, which is a separate group - I didn't park in the garage more than once or twice because I thought the monthly cost was a bit much given the area. You definitely can find street parking and save the $100 if you like; obviously you take the risk of break-ins and such, but I parked on the street for almost two years and didn't have any incidents. Lastly, didn't get gouged at move out and the rent increases/options offered at renewal were reasonable. Again, great apartment complex, solidly built, good staff, and generally a good value. read more

Siena Park is easily the best apartment and building I've lived in. I worked with Jeremy, the Resident Manager there, who made the move-in easy, checked in with me whenever I needed anything, and helped make the move-out a breeze. What I loved about the building was the amenities. You walk in, and you felt safe. You felt like everything was new... And that was just the lobby. Once you got up to your apartment unit, those feelings permeated even more. There was ample space in my specific unit, with an oversized bathroom and a massive kitchen counter. While I didn't take advantage of the recreation room, the pool, the gym, and rooftop as much as I'd hoped, all of that is available to everybody at the building. And all of those things are fantastic to have -- whether it's for you or for when hosting visiting guests. Most of all, you can't beat the proximity to DC. Right off 395, Siena Park makes it convenient to spend time in DC and live cheaper/better nearby. I'd recommend this building in a heartbeat if you're looking for space, affordability, and amenities. There's also a great burrito spot a block away. So there's that, too. read more

I relocated across the country for my new job and after seeing other apartments I decided to make Siena Park Apartments my new home. The application process was pretty simple and my application was approved timely. My move in date was set for the beginning of November so I made sure to have as many things in place before my relocation. Unfortunately, a few days prior to my moving, I was told that the unit I originally signed my lease for would not be ready for a few weeks due to electrical issues. Needless to say I was stressed since I was moving across the country a few days later and had to be out of my current place. As a way to compensate, management did offer another unit that should have been comparable to the unit I was unable to move into. But upon moving in it seemed smaller than I expected since I knew that my prior unit was 803 sq ft. When I checked the sq ft to my current unit I saw that it was smaller than the unit I should have gotten. read more

Living here was fine until the new property manager came along. Moving bay was over-booked. Trying to move in was a hassle after reserving the bay only to have someone else overlap on my designated time slot. Honestly the leasing office was so rude. I called today at 5:10 pm and didn't get an answer- you can see the web site states the leasing office is open until 6. She literally didn't want to do the minimum for her job. Also while living here there is constant construction that goes on without updates. Get better staff Siena, customer service isn't that hard. read more

Siena Park was BY FAR the best apartment I've rented in my 21 years of traveling the US during my military career. The friendly and welcoming staff (Nina, Jacqueline, Kenya & Justin...hope I didn't forget anyone) truly made me feel at home daily. ...and after the first few months of moving in, I actually felt bad that the staff often greeted me by name and I hadn't taken the time to learn there names. The maintenance crew always fixed any of my minor apartment issues by the end of the following day if not earlier of notification, the neighbors are friendly, the events hosted by the staff were very fun and a great chance to mingle with the other residents and the close proximity to plenty of restaurants and shops makes this an awesome place to stay. Pros: Vicinity to great restaurants and Hwy 395, extremely friendly & courteous staff, fresh Starbucks coffee machine (located in lobby), planned resident events. Cons: I'm not really a pet guy and these are dog friendly apartments so I had to get used to being around dogs and their owners. ...which I did and thinking about getting one of my own now. Overall: After 2 years of living here, I honestly hated to leave here but my home further south was now vacant without tenants and leaving was a must. I really loved my stay here and I'd easily recommend Siena Park Apartments to anyone looking to reside in the DMV. S. Berry read more

Did a lot of searching for great apartments around this area that are affordable, safe and has parking. Finally was lucky enough to find Siena Park Apartments. Staff there was extremely accommodating took us through multiple tours when we requested. ( lived in some pretty rough places before) The apartment itself is beautiful, The hangout room is awesome and they have a nice pool, and rooftop hangout area! Location was what I liked most about the apartment there's a lot to do in the area. If I ever move back to Arlington VA, I would definitely come back to Siena Park. read more

I have lived at Siena Park for a little more than a year now, and I love it. It's a quiet building -- I've only heard people get louder than necessary three times in 13 months, and whenever I address it, it's handled immediately. The grounds, as well as the interior of the building, are clean, bright, and well-kept. I also love the upscale environment of the apartments -- they are very modern with granite countertops, tile flooring, tile shower walls, and if you live on the sixth floor, there's hardwood flooring also. Another perk inside each unit is that there's a washer and dryer -- no having to save coins or pay to wash your clothes, and no having to lug your stuff to the basement and babysit it because you're afraid of people stealing your stuff. Furthermore, there's a rooftop deck with two grills, fireplaces, and seating; there's also a courtyard with a pool (the only thing I don't like is that the pool is only 3 feet deep) and two more grills. Another bonus is, while we do have a trash chute, we also have valet trash pickup right outside our doors -- I love this. It's true that you can hear people talking inside of their apartments sometimes when you're out in the hallway, but when you're in your apartment, it's completely quiet. I haven't had many maintenance issues or anything, but one time when my A/C wasn't working correctly, I called and it was fixed promptly and quickly. Like others have said, it's quite convenient. There's a Giant next door and a CVS next door to that, along with several restaurants and new ones opening soon. The bus stop is right across the street, as well, and if you wanted to walk to Pentagon City, you could do that too... it's only about a 20-30 minute walk. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a new apartment complex. read more

I am sad to leave a bad note about Siena Park as we called the apartment home for three years. I'll start with the positive - The rooftop;it is amazing! Over the past year management changed and they do not seem to be looking out for their tenants anymore. Upon moving out, we received our last bill with additional charges. Because management did not want to get stuck with the charge, they posted the charge to us. They did finally split the payment with us, but it was not our bill to pay. The experience saddened me and makes me happy that Siena Park is no longer our home. read more

I am fairly new at Siena Park and I absolutely love it! I am moving from a house into an apartment, and I really wanted a large enough place that I could make my new "home." Siena Park provided a nice clean beautiful space I was looking for, a friendly professional atmosphere by Kristal and all of the staff, and all of fun community activities! The upkeep is on point, maintenance is very friendly and timely, and the hallway/elevator and other community spaces are very clean! Needless to say I really like this location and look forward to making great memories here. read more

This is my 2nd year at Siena Park and I could not be more pleased. I would stay another year if I could but as a result of getting married soon and an expected increase in family size, I will need at least a 3 bedroom going forward. If, however, you are in the market for a 1 or 2 bedroom apt, I would recommend Siena Park! You would love it. Not only are the amenities awesome but the property manager Nina Sorber is one of the most pleasant managers I've ever encountered. She is very responsive and always has a smile on her face. When I have an issue or question it only takes her minutes to find resolution. The maintenance team & office staff here is great as well. I will miss Siena when I finally move out end of this year. :( read more

I moved in at the beginning of the year and Siena Park is a a great place to call home. The building is beautiful and quite sound proof. I'm amazed at how quiet it is seeing as my patio faces the courtyard. Speaking of which, the common areas are wonderful! The courtyard and rooftop patio are great places to grill and hang out on a warm day. The building is very dog friendly but you won't find any pet mess around the common areas. The apartments are beautiful with granite countertops and floor to ceiling cabinetry. The appliances are quite new and the in-unit washer and dryer are a LIFE SAVER! The staff are wonderfully kind and attentive. Any time I've had an issue, they've dealt with it immediately. I could not be happier in my choice to live here. read more

Been here for 2 years now, and in 2 different apartments. The units are great, with no noise from the neighbors (you can hear people in the hallway if they're being loud as they walk by). The best part of living here is the management and maintenance staff. We have had small problems with the dishwasher and washing machine that have always been fixed immediately, and the property manager (maybe assistant property manager) John is great. He gave us a great deal on both apartments. We're sad to be leaving. I strongly recommend Siena Park to anyone looking on the Columbia Pike area, they have the best built units by far (and I have looked at their sister property up the road, and the one next door). read more

Incredible place to live. Having recently moved to the DMV area from Ohio, I was looking for a somewhat affordable building that allowed pets and had decent amenities. This place has blown my mind. Every member of the staff from the concierge to the building manager to the maintenance guy all know me and my dog by name. Granted, he is super adorable and hard to forget. Haha The units are pristine, the staff is welcoming and attentive, and the amenities are incredible. On my floor, I have a nicely equipped gym, huge courtyard with grills and a swimming pool, and even a community room decked out with huge tvs, bar, and billiards. During warmer times, the rooftop is a must. Amazing views of all over the city and some high powered grills for light cookouts to party atmosphere. Hell, even all the tenants are more than friendly. The general vibe from everyone you meet in this building is down to earth and cordial. I love it here and will definitely be renewing my lease. read more

The evening and weekend "Concierge" are terrible. They lack basic customer service skills, on their cellphone for personal calls, streaming tv on a company computer (and do not want to be bothered), they will not acknowledge anyone walking in (no security and no service), rude and have no knowledge of communication with other management. Also, the parking situation here is awful. $100/mo yet the gates are always Out of Service so anyone can just come in and park. One of the Elevators is always Out of Service as well. read more

PLEASE BE AWARE OF WHERE YOU PUT YOUR MONEY!! TERRIBLE DEAL FOR WHAT YOU PAY!! SADLY BAD MANAGEMENT IN THIS BUILDING!! LOOK AROUND BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF NICER BUILDINGS IN A MUCH BETTER LOCATION FOR WHAT YOU PAY HERE!! I felt discriminated multiple times by Jeremy (PM in the building)!! People smoking weed next to the pool during summer time!! A guy under my apartment screamed and wanted to fight me for smoking one cigarette in my apartment (note that it's a SMOKING BUILDING), he was shouting non stop asking me to come down and fight him!! Leaks and never fixed during winter time!! Dirty lobby!! Location is terrible for what you pay!! Had a really bad experience and wish I have never paid a penny because it's not worth what I paid at all!! Only thing is nice about this building is their roof, that is IT!! read more

I would recommend Siena Park for some reasons and not recommend them for others - customers you will have to decide what's best for you and your family. First, I will start with the good- the location is less than 10 minutes from DC and a stone throw away from the Pentagon. So, if you're direction impaired and want to have close accessibility to I-395 and I-66, the location is prime. Thus, if you're a walker, there's plenty of streets surrounding the facilities that make the area and the perimeter walkable. There's shopping and a plethora of food delivery options available. Next, the building is secured 24/7, so you can't even go between floors (by way of elevator or staircase) without swiping your fob, which is a great thing considering crime has been on the rise in this region or basically everywhere in the country if we're being all the way honest. Third, the facility is very clean; it's not a brand new facility, but it has been kept well seriously. There's no bugs, foul odors or stained carpet anywhere within the corridors, clean as a whistle. The property manager is a one man show for the most part, which I was concerned with at first, but he does a fairly good job considering the size of the facility and I have lived in several states across the United States. Now for the not so good. I have no idea why there is a positive rating for level of quietness because this place is not quiet at all. Now let me be crystal clear-- your neighbors within the facility is very quiet, no issue there. The most you will hear is a dog bark a few times, but it's very minimal and tolerable. My biggest complaint for us on the noise stems from the noise outside of the building. We are right next to Giant grocery store and delivery trucks probably due to the pandemic delivers multiple times a week. Make no mistake, these tractors are extremely loud and very distracting, it has become extremely intolerable. What's worse than the trucks? The cars that go in and out of the parking garage--sounds like a racetrack, and the worse thing in the world by far is when they added that restaurant on the corner. It has made our lives miserable! People are constantly walking up and down the parking ramps, which is crazy dumb, but they do it often with kids in strollers and everything! I look and shake my head in disbelief. Delivery drivers and commuter cars block the driveway hanging around for food to come out of the restaurant. I mean we are all the way over it, I am sick of this restaurant on the corner and it's not been a year they have been situated there. Good luck with getting & staying asleep and God help you if you have small children you're trying to put to bed because if you manage to do that, you can bet they will never sleep through the night. It's too damn noisy outside! Next, the parking garage management is a complete doosie. My spouse car was hit twice and we were told-- oh you'll need to call your insurance company. Well, yes, we can do that, but this happened on your watch and this is the best you can offer us? Note- we don't park for free, we pay for each space we have every single month. And by the way, the garage door does break often, so the security of the garage is without doubt questionable. If you decide to park just hope and pray nothing happens to your vehicle because no one is going to take responsibility for it, no one at all. So, don't buy a Bentley or Rolls Royce and park it in here. Trash collection is a waste of time and money. It's built into your lease contract and the company has so many rules its slapstick crazy, stupid dumb. They will feed you this line well- "we can't risk a needle stick being in bags". It's like really? No one puts needles in bags, this isn't the 70's in NYC, no one does that, no one. You just want to have your cake and eat it too, it is such a waste to pay for trash pickup when the trash collectors don't want to take your trash! They want a specialized way to collect. Really? Last but not least, the dogs in this building-- yes, there are about as many dogs as humans and for the most part, they are not an issue, but one day I was wearing a dress and getting on the elevator. Well, another resident had not one, but 2 pit bull dogs and neither was on a leash. Guess what? Both dogs chased me around the foyer and the owner had no control over the dogs. Thank God another resident was holding the elevator for me, I could tell she wanted to help and was in as much shock as I was. I was terrified these dogs were going to attack me and they would have done a lot of damage considering their size. I had on a dress that day and lighter complexion, it would not have been a good thing. My spouse and I were so done and Jeremy was apologetic about it. The dogs didn't belong to him, it wasn't his fault, but it was alarming. So again, you will have to decide for yourself whether you would want to live here or not, but I felt like I had to be forthcoming about what our experience has been like. read more

I've loved living at SP for the past year. Specifically I want to highlight how professional and HELPFUL Jeremy has been throughout the past year. He resolved issues quickly and efficiently, always. Jeremy is a resident manager and truly exemplifies the type of employee every apartment complex should have. I've lived in 7 different apartments and have never had service as exceptional as Jeremy's. Also, Taylor who is front desk concierge goes above and beyond for the residents. She is always smiling, friendly, and very helpful in all scenarios. I have guests and clients come visit and they say how amazing it is to be greeted by friendly concierge and how they've never experienced anything like it. I am VERY impressed with this business. I will be moving across the country due to career choices, but I will miss the positive energy and care I experienced here at SP. Thank you all! read more

For 3 weeks I spent making appointment after appointment at various properties trying to find an affordable 2BR/2BA place to move into by Dec 1st. Most of the places I saw were not exactly what I was looking for or the prices were out of my range or the managers were downright rude. The ones at The Gramercy and 2201 Pershing Apartments each spent at least 5-10 mins having long and personal conversations with other residents right in front of me during the tour. Not Jeremy at Siena Park! Jeremy was professional, laid back and very patient. I called out of the blue on a Saturday morning and he answered the phone pleasantly and scheduled an appointment with me within a few hours. There was no pressure or weird sales techniques he used--just the real deal. The apartments were gorgeous and I was immediately drawn to the simple and elegant architecture of the building. What I really liked too is that the building is designed to wrap around the courtyard/pool area with large windows so the hallways are bright and sun-filled which is rare. So no claustrophobic or dark feeling walking the halls. I also liked that it is a smaller community and a mid-rise so it feels more homey. Jeremy answered all my questions and just felt so reassuring through the whole thing. I felt really taken care of. There was an apartment that fit what we were looking for and I signed immediately for a nice 2BR unit, knowing that I had my eye on the 2BR units on the 6th floor because I heard that most of those had hardwood floors and taller ceilings. Within a few days I checked online and saw that one did indeed become available and I called Jeremy immediately to see if I could transfer. He told me that residents could do 1 transfer for free. So he did the transfer within a few minutes! Now we just moved into the 6th floor unit a few days ago and everything went smoothly. The concierge desk was really friendly and helped our move be as easy as possible. The condition of the unit was great upon move-in--very clean and I love all the light and the quietness of our place so far. We heard that there are a lot of building events, and there's a local pet-sitter among the residents and one of them even started a book club on the rooftop. The maintenance staff lives on site so no fear if you have an emergency in the middle of the night or get locked out. The area seems bustling with lots of restaurants and things to do. I can't wait to get more settled in and get to know the community better! We are looking forward to making Siena Park home for the next year at least. read more

Siena Park is a great place to live! I lived here for almost 4 years and only left because the person I am moving in with can't commute from Arlington. Pros: - Clean, safe, well-constructed building; good apartment layouts (open floorplan, so much kitchen counter space and storage, good closets, tall ceilings, etc.); high-quality appliances, washer and dryer, access to FIOS, etc. - Great location-- next to Giant, easy to commute into DC on the 16Y or 16X, easy to walk to tons of excellent restaurants on the Pike (I recommend the Celtic House, Bangkok 54, the Ethiopian place by the Air Force memorial, and of course Bob and Edith's), Starbucks/Penrose Square next door, etc. I don't have a car and rarely needed one. - No bugs! I think I saw one tiny spider in four years. - Staff were kind and helpful, maintenance was always friendly and efficient, and the overall atmosphere always felt calm and welcoming. - Amenities are fine; gym and pool were both useful - Super quiet. You can occasionally hear people in the hallway, but never in the apartments next to you. - It's relatively cheap because it's not on the metro. (Obviously it's still very expensive compared to not-DC-area prices.) There are cheaper places to live on the Pike, but they aren't as nice. - Having just done a bunch of moving... Siena Park's loading dock is WAY nicer than the place I moved to. - Move out process went fine overall-- no extra surprise fees or anything like that. Cons: - 16X and 16Y bus routes only run during rush hour M-F. It's not as easy to get into DC other times (bus to Pentagon/Pentagon City, then metro), and some people will act like you live in the remote wilderness if you aren't on the metro. - I know this is standard in Arlington, but I think the algorithms for apartment pricing are unethical and bad for consumers. You might be paying hundreds of dollars more than your neighbors for the same apartment. And it's difficult to search for apartments when you can't get an exact price. After my first 6-month lease at Siena Park I moved down the hall to a slightly nicer apartment for hundreds of dollars less a month, which was nice for me but objectively seems kind of stupid. I suspect, also, that these algorithms harm long-term residents, as the apartment's "value" goes up the longer it's been occupied. - $30/month for valet trash that I didn't use was slightly irritating (the trash can they give you is also kind of ugly compared to how nice the place is in general) - The Pike is not especially bike-friendly (though I've biked it) - Automatic rental payments didn't work a few times. I feel like this should be a seamless process. (I never had to pay late fees or anything, just a little annoying.) read more

These are very nice and reasonably priced apartments, provided that the location is sensible for where you like to spend your time working and living in the DC/arlington area. I did live there a couple of years ago when the building was first opened and as I work in DC, I found that it is honestly uniquely inconvenient, even relative to apartments in south arlington near the pentagon city area. The 16Y bus is available to get into the city in the am/pm weekdays, but it is a pretty long ride and is available infrequently. Again though, I think this is more reflective of my error re: what would have been most convenient for me, rather than a weakness of the building. However, just thought it is useful info for people considering this area more generally who need to be in DC often. The shops around that area are really enjoyable, including menchies, a giant, and a relatively good tavern style restaurant. read more

I have lived at Siena Park for two years now. They recently switched ownership, and when my renewal came up I was shocked at what they planned to raise my rent by. I had been super happy living there, but thought I might need to find a new apartment because I wasn't willing to pay what they were asking for the space I had. I went down to talk to the Manager, Michelle, and she was beyond helpful. Within a few minutes we had come to a agreement on a fair rental price, and she even offered to have my carpets cleaned and an accent wall painted. I took her up on these offerings and they were completed immediately. Couldn't have been happier, and so grateful I didn't need to move. The staff and facilities are great here. Maintenance comes the same day as any request you might make and the grounds are kept beautifully. I love the small neighborhood vibe of the building and would recommend others take a look if they're considering the area. read more

I lived in Siena Park for 3 years. I moved out in late February 2013 in part because, within the past year, it seems the residents that they are letting in are much worse. Its much noiser because of that (the walls are not that thick so if you have a loud neighbor...good luck). Since that time, there have also been a few incidents in the underground parking lot. The hallways used to be clean but some residents treat it like a dorm room. The only thing that has remained the same is the maintenance crew which is the best in Northern Virginia (very responsive and will help out with anything). They also have a weird policy of letting people leave their trash in the hallway outside their apartments for a company to come in at night to pick up. The problem is residents leave smelly garbage in the hall; some of which falls on the ground. I find it unsanitary, messy, and unnecesary -- esp. when the garbage shoot is around the corner. Unlike the past year or so, Siena Park used to have a good number of social events for the residents thanks to the last manager (John, who was great) left. The pool is nice...if you like swimming in something slightly bigger than a bathtub. During the summer, the pool\pool area is routinely packed with no room to sit. Columbia Pike has added various bars\restaurants so its a good walking location for that. But you can't walk to a metro -- and the bus is very hit or miss....I wish it was still the "old" Siena Park or I wouldn't have chosen to move read more

Pretty fun place to live in. I wish it was a bit more affordable or I would have stayed longer! Awesome roof area and a pretty nice gym. Would have been more affordable if I had a roommate. read more

The apartments are nice, the inner courtyard is well-kept (though they don't drain the pool during the winter, which looks kind of weird when you have a deep freeze). It's convenient if you work in downtown DC, as there's a bus stop across the street with a bus that takes you to McPherson Square. Proximity to Giant is nice, too, and a bunch of new businesses are filling in the storefronts within a one-block area. William Jeffreys, a bar attached to Siena Park, is very nice (though a bit pricey), and I always enjoy going in there for a beer or to watch the game. The maintenance staff, for routine requests, is typically very prompt, and always very nice when you speak to them. But the biggest problem is noise, with a close second being the management. As others on here have written, Xsport Fitness can be heard on all levels of the building. Constantly hearing dropped weights or other activities in a gym on the bottom floor is not something that should be part of a place with rent this high. The rent itself is competitive for actual luxury buildings in Arlington, which makes the structural deficiency very hard to ignore. Xsport says they are installing springs on the weight sets to stop the noise, and in fact already have (allegedly), but there's been no change. Talking to other residents, they seem to all have heard different things from Xsport and Siena Park in terms of timelines and what exactly will be done. Someone from the gym told us that they were installing those springs and new flooring sometime in the future, so we'll see if that helps -- although a previous call yielded a lot of confusion and only mention of the springs, so who knows? Seems like it should have been something they solved before a bunch of residents complained; the building was not built last year. I've also heard from residents who live on the top floor that the rooftop heating and A/C units are loud and rattle their apartments. One guy (who has since moved out) had a problem especially during the winter months with a loud rattling and vibration, and he said the management's response was basically "Sorry, that's just how it is." That wasn't my own personal experience, but given the issues with Xsport, I wouldn't doubt it. I spoke with another couple who were having a similar issue (they live on the top floor). Are these anecdotes or indicative of a broader problem? I'm not sure. Again, structural solutions seem like something the management (and Bozzuto, the company that manages Siena Park) would want to invest in to keep residents happy, but the management seems more willing to keep Xsport Fitness happy and defend its own flawed building design than actually fix the problems themselves. When residents leave, maybe the management just hopes the next ones won't complain. From reading through online reviews, I notice that the management is quick to respond to comments and is eager to address the problems. That's obviously great, but it's also really interesting, because from my own experiences and those of others that I mentioned, getting an answer when you ask the management directly can take several days and often requires additional followup. Perhaps the solution is to post all requests on this site; might get them answered quicker! Once again, it's a very nice building, and the location is great. Most of the residents are also very friendly, and in terms of dealing with "neighbor noise" (a big problem with community living), there's not much of a problem here at all. No late night jam sessions, no loud surround sound systems. But if you are cognizant of noise, the structural problems mean you could probably do a lot better (and even find something close to a Metro stop) by looking elsewhere. I have no doubt there are units in this building that don't suffer from the noise problems I and others here have experienced, but for us, it's just way too much. Neighbor noise can be addressed by talking to them; flaws in architecture that the management refuses to fix are unfortunately a "take em or leave" kind of thing. I've lived in the DC area for many years, and I'd unfortunately rate Siena Park toward the low end of the list of apartments I've leased. read more

Wonderful apartment accommodations, pool, grills, rooftop terrace, outside seating, etc. Great concierge service, sincere and genuine staff, wonderful location for picking up public transportation on lines. It's right across from Bob & Edith's, so you can get your diner fixings any time of day you want and now with the newly opened Giant, grocery shopping is extremely convenient. read more
