My first day I could even get in with the code they gave me. No parking there so I have no idea of where to park. Them when I called and they gave Mr another code. The elevator was not working and I am on the third floor.

This place, all around, is just not great. I have resided here for two years and have had consistent issues with AC, appliances, water damage, and much more. Upon move in, the place was covered in dirt and cobwebs. Along with that, the microwave was broken, the dishwasher was in pieces and the paint on the window sill is so ancient that it literally disintegrates in your hand. With managers that don't answer the phone, semi-consistent serious fiscal and fee issues due to disorganization on their end, and a BUNCH of sneaky ways to charge insane amounts, ($300 dollar renewal fees, $85 fire alarm battery change, multiple application fees as to not technically break the law of Virginias 50-dollar-max-appartment-app-fee) this apartment makes it clear that you do NOT matter; you are only a wallet. Package thieves get no reprimands, the towing company here illegally overcharges (and has illegally towed from the parking lot) I have had to sign the renewal lease that removes me from my current contract 3 times, as they keep screwing up the names and either adding me back, or me back AND tenants that have been gone for several years. How unprofessional can you get? All in all, my AC has broken 4 times, my dishwasher has needed replacing twice (and then some wood because they damaged my cabinets and left it that way), my microwave has needed replacing, the floors are so disgusting you cant walk around barefoot without blackening your feet, and I believe I have only ever gotten a representative on the phone when trying to call two (2) times. In two years. They will go out of the way to not respond to emails, confuse you with vague responses when asked for clarification, and I just do not recommend it. Most complexes suck, but these guys are just a new breed. The ONLY reason why I was considering two stars is because I've never had a pest issue and utilities are included. But for 1500 dollars in a 700sqft apartment, that's the bare minimum you can provide. You can find better.
