We lived here for two years and would never go back.
Positives:
The office staff were very nice and the maintenance people were wonderful.
The apartments are fairly large and had new appliances.
Parking was never a problem.
Very conveniently located to shopping and metro.
The in-unit washer and dryer, while small, were very convenient.
You have access to the Kingstowne community ammenities like the fitness center.
We had no difficulty in moving out. They cheerfully refunded our entire deposit.
Negatives:
While the walls are fairly thick, the floors and ceilings are paper thin. We could hear our upstairs neighbor turning over in bed. Our downstairs neighbor banged on his ceiling every time my husband walked across the room. In order to "cover" the noise of our walking around, he played his stereo at unacceptably high levels. The office staff eventually had the resident Fairfax County police officer speak to him. However, if you get an anti-social neighbor there is no remedy other than moving out. And living in such proximity the risk is too great.
The construction is pretty shoddy.
The rent increases came regularly and were extremely high for such a poorly constructed building.
If you can find a better constructed building, take it.
