2 Year Resident Review: Location is great, overall, it's OK.
As a former resident of 2 years here is my review.
Pros:
- Location! This location is great and convenient. It's one of the many reasons why we signed the lease to live here. It's right off of 95 with about 15 mins to DC depending on where you are going. It's right behind a plaza with the most convenient stores, such as Giant, Marshall's, Dollar Tree, etc. It's also in an area that is continuously building and growing which can benefit and potentially hurt the current neighborhood residents due... to increases.
- Cleaning Crew! I loved the cleaning staff. One particular lady was there every morning cleaning the building.
- Concrete flooring and walls, you literally hear nothing from neighbors, but it did help that we were near the stairwell and model apartment (technically, we did not have neighbors).
Cons:
- The is a 7/11 right next door to the building where people constantly hang out.
- The garage is constantly broken. Whether it was a resident hitting it or mechanical failure, it was pretty constant. This was unsafe to the extent that people could easily access residents' cars and the storage units on-site, which lead to ours being broken into just before New Year's Day. It took some time and follow-up for the storage to be repaired and although there were cameras on the property, management was not as helpful with figuring out what had occurred.
- Packages are readily exposed. Although there are lockers, packages were constantly left outside of mailboxes and big bins outside of the lockers, making them susceptible to theft as people deliver food, have guests, etc.
- Elevators were out of order for a while. At one point, we only had one working elevator for months.
Over the course of the two years, I definitely saw a decline. We moved there during COVID, so we received a great rate, as the market has changed, so did the increase in rent, which was fine, but at the rate it was being increased to...the complex needed much more work for the luxury rate that was being charged.
