I AM CURRENTLY LIVING IN CARELTON EAST. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OF THE REVIEWS THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED SINCE I MOVED IN WHICH WAS ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO. UNFORTUANTELY, THESE PEOPLE ARE RIGHT ABOUT 95% OF THE THINGS THEY SAID. PEGGY IS GONE FROM THE OFFICE AND YET EVERYONE (OTHER THAN ROMAINE) DOES SEEM TO STILL HAVE THE BIGGEST ATTITUDE PROBLEM. WHEN I WENT TO APPLY MY BEST FRIEND WENT WITH ME. AT ONE POINT DURING TH EPROCESS, SHE GOT OFFENDED BY ONE OF THE "LEASING PROFESSIONALS" WHO MUST OF FORGOT THE PROFESSIONAL PART OF HER JOB TITLE AT HOME THAT DAY. I EXPLAINED TO MY FRIEND THAT I NEEDED TO LIVE THERE MORE THAN I NEEDED A PROBLEM WITH THE LADY. I DID GET THE APARTMENT (OBVIOUSLY) AND NOW ALL THE LADIES ARE POLITE TO ME BUT I HAVE SEEN MANY ATTITUDES FROM THEM DIRECTED TOWARDS OTHER PEOPLE APPLYING OR EVEN COMING IN AS TENANTS. I GUESS YOU HAVE TO BE PART OF SOME "IN CROWD" I DON'T KNOW.... MAINTENANCE DOES RESPOND PRETTY QUICKLY BUT THE APARTMENTS ARE VERY OLD AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS TO BE ADDRESSED IN THEM. THERE IS NO PARKING AT ALL AFTER 7PM SO DON'T EVEN TRY! VISITORS HAVE FULL RANGE OF PARKING AND THE SAME RIGHTS AS TENANTS PRETTY MUCH. I HAVE TAKEN MY CHILD TO THE PARK BUT ONLY ONCE, WHERE WE FOUND SEVERAL PRE-TEENS AND TEENAGERS SMOKING CIGARETTES AND CUSSING UP A STORM. MY YOUNG CHILD SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT WHILE SHE WAITS 20 MINUTES FOR ONE OF THEM TO GET UP OFF OF A SWING SO SHE CAN SIT ON IT. ALSO, THEY ARE NO LIGHTS IN THE PARKING LOT AND IT IS ALWAYS A LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER TRIP TO YOUR BUILDING. THE LAUNDRY ROOM FLOODS DAILY AND THEY KNOW IT, CAUSE THEY PUT UP SIGNS ABOUT IT! IT ALSO SMELLS LIKE FISH IN THERE AND NO ONE EVER CLEANS IT. THE CATCH 22 FOR ME, IS THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL IS AWESOME AND THEY ARE NO BETTER PLACES IN THE AREA OTHER THAN HOUSES TO BUY. I GUESS I'LL BE LIVING HERE FOR ANOTHER YEAR WHILE I SAVE UP FOR A HOUSE. IF YOU MOVE IN, BRING FANS, THE AC IS OUT 24/7 AND THE HEATING SYSTEM LEAKS....

I applied there and was never treated so horribly by any management company in my 50 years on earth. I'm a Washingtonian so I know what it is like to be around fools and there are an office full of fools working at Carelton East Apartments. Lord - help those idiots.
