Resident 2009 - 2010

Nice, Convenient Place to Live

I moved to Mosaic at Metro in early 2009 when it was brand new. I don't think they'd rented even 1/2 the units at that time, so it was extremely quiet and clean, not to mention that there was an abundance of parking (at that time, parking was also free). Pros: (1) relatively quiet; (2) gated community; (3) office staff is friendly, professional, courteous, and knowledgeable; (4) maintenance staff is very outgoing and responds to and resolves issues promptly; (5) grounds and common areas are well-maintained; (6) right next to PG Plaza metro station; (7) ideally located for the vehicularly-challenged (Giant, CVS, Starbucks, dry cleaner, restaurants and eateries, mall, and movie theater all within walking distance); and (8) excellent amenities. Cons: (1) visitor parking is in very short supply and is located in a non-secured part of the garage; (2) residents do not properly dispose of refuse, and it overflows in large piles in the stairwells (management has threatened to impose fines on violators, but there's really no way for them to enforce that and residents know it); (3) there have been a few car break-ins (usually when one of the garage gates is broken, which isn't very often); (4) units are small and overpriced for what you get (I know I'm paying for the location, but not even granite countertops!); and (4) walls are paper thin. Overall, I've been very happy here. The entrance to my apartment is not in the enclosed part of the building, so I do hear street traffic, the garage gate when it opens and closes, and the occasional screaming match at the metro station. Like any apartment community, it has its issues but they're all pretty minor and nothing I can't live with. I considered moving to the new Post Park community on EW Hwy when my lease expired because it's cheaper and the units are much nicer, but I do enjoy having a metro station right next door and being centrally-located to everything I need. I recently signed on for another year at Mosaic and, unless I encounter a problem that I consider to be a deal-breaker, I have no plans to go elsewhere.
