If you can afford NOT to live at Potomac Park Apts, I highly suggest you do so. The staff is ignorant, rude and well...just downright uneducated. For over six months, the manager, every month will tell me I underpaid my rent, yet I had the carbon copies from the checks I wrote with the correct amount written and my bank statement proving they took the money out of my account. Who hired these idiots'
The maintenance people, although very sweet, do not speak English, so naturally when trying to explain there is water leaking into my apt from the one above - there is a language barrier. Their idea of "fixing" or "solving the problem" is simply putting on a new coat of paint. The halls, doors, elevators (when they are working) are repainted every couple of months. Rather than cleaning them or fixing any cracks, they just paint right over....magic, right'
If you like AC, in Washington's humid 95F weather, look elsewhere. I have a thermom inside my apt, it currently reads 92F, at 9:00am. See there is a catch in the "ALL UTILITIES INCLUDED"...it should state, "All Utilities Included As We Deem Appropriate". The AC doesn't turn on until May, yet the weather in DC starts warming up in April sometimes even March. It is a month long endurance of your apt being so hot the floors actually being to sweat. I haven't had a good nights sleep in about 6 days, just too damn hot. Now....when the AC finally is turned on, plan on having it break at least 3 times a summer. For some reason, the management can't find a decent company to fix the problem for good.
Okay, well if after reading this, you still want to give Potomac Park a chance, good luck and a word of advice - Speakup! Go to the office everyday until your apt looks and runs exactly how you want it. Threaten to contact higher management if necessary, just don't be passive..you'll pay a lot of money for nothing if you do so.

Oh my gosh. This reminded me about my place. The person who lived in my unit before me had long black hair. In lots of places they painted over hair on the wall. It was nasty. You could tell they'd been doing it for years. Prime the wall before you paint. GROSS STUFF.
