MAA Centreville Apartments

This is a pretty descent complex to live, we renewed our lease for another year after having several setbacks due unreasonable rent increase and finally getting a good deal once the price dropped of what we used to pay. Besides this issue we're comfortable living here. The apartment itself is spacious and most of the units have new appliances in the kitchen area. Maintenance crew is responsive and great, administrative office staff is just ok.

This was my first time renting an apartment. Was it the perfect place? Meh. My neighbors were a little noisy, the location of the complex from DC was rough and the trash compactor broke, giving people an excuse to throw their trash wherever. HOWEVER, the management and maintenance have always been to wonderful and responsive. We had 1 mouse, we reported it and it was dealt with in a matter of days- since then, no mouse. No pests, very nice sized, affordable apartments. This was a great first... renter experience. All fees were written out, the payment system was easy and overall it was a great first place to call home. We're moving out to be closer to the city, but we were incredibly satisfied and you will be too. Read More

Don't even consider living here. We have only lived here for two months and we were ready to move out the day after we moved in. This apartment complex is so noisy due to the poor infrastructure of the buildings and the constant construction work being done outside. If you live on the bottom floors or you have floors above you, you can hear every single footstep the person above you makes. I have literally heard the neighbors above us drag something across the floor before. You can hear your... neighbors beside you vacuum their floor, their dogs barking, and even them shutting their front doors as they go in and out. There is constant construction going on with repairing sidewalks and the parking lot. And when I say constant, I mean the construction continues well into the evening past 7:00pm, so good luck trying to relax when you get home from work in the evening.

Aside from the noise pollution coming from every outlet possible, the apartments are extremely outdated for the amount you're paying. The appliances had to have been the original from when the apartments were built. The bathtub/shower and sink in the bathroom are painted? With what and why, I don't know, but the paint is literally peeling from both the bathtub and the sink and it looks disgusting. Not only that, what is being revealed below the paint is rust and other discoloration, which I am assuming is why they painted it in the first place. Though, I still don't quite understand why you would paint them rather than replace it, but it seems very lazy on their part. The expensive price you're paying to live here is going somewhere but it's not going towards basic updates on the apartments, that is for sure.

I won't even touch on the rat situation as others clearly have...yes, they are here, I concur with the others that have left a review on this matter. The front gate is also always broken. They fixed it the day before we moved in and then on the day we moved, in it was broken again.

Just don't do it... we will likely be ending our lease early because I don't think it's possible to live here comfortably without so many inconveniences. Read More

PESTS AND SAFETY. Full story below. I moved here in 2018 and the place was nice and the front office staff was very accommodating. If there were any issues, Kaylie, the assistant property manager at the time made sure that the issue was resolved as soon as possible. I was moving across the country for a job and the entire front office staff was great at helping me get settled in even though it was a Saturday. After I got moved in, I had no qualms about going in person to the office and talking... out any issues that were going on and the staff were very nice and worked hard to make things right if there were any problems. Around 2019, when the new front office crew took over, the community went downhill fast. Maintenance requests are handled in a very haphazard manner and not completed fully so original issues persist even after the "work" was completed. As a previous poster mentioned, the safety of the area is now being called into question with some of the violent crimes being committed close to the community and the gates are always broken and left open. The "contractors" are always called to fix them, yet the problems seem to still persist. I'm a larger guy; lift, do BJJ, former military, and am a concealed carry permit holder, but if I was a single woman without personal defense and firearms training, I wouldn't live here. As other posters have mentioned, there's now a pest problem. In my case, I've had a persistent mouse problem for about a year. Their "pest guy" just put a trap under my sink (not where they were coming in btw, which was under the oven along the wall). I had an issue with a window last year. I went to speak to the front office and they were insulting and condescending when I mentioned that I've seen plenty of general contractors and work trucks out in the community when they cited COVID was the issue not getting the window fixed. The front office person implied that I didn't know how to read placards or what a contractor's truck looked like. To get any movement on the window issue and now this mouse problem, I've had to be up front and mention that I'm considering reporting them to the county for unsanitary living conditions and improper maintenance of the property. This current management team has failed their tenants on so many levels. Even with all these failures, they have the audacity to raise rents. Word of advice, consider other places in the area unless there is a turn over in management for the better. Read More
