Do NOT move to Foxchase of Alexandria. There is huge rodent and roach problems that they don't take care of. Also, I terminated my lease and had to pay 2 months closing fee plus a two month cancelation notice (total of 4 months). They told me I had until the time of my lease to finish paying the termination fee (via voicemail) and that I didn't have to pay it all at one time. The next thing I know, I get a call from a collection agency saying I owe them $395.00!!!! Imagine my astonishment. I never got a call from the leasing office (phone records by cell phone prove that) and NO letter saying it was due immediately and that they were sending it to a collection agency. I have been trying to fight this for a week. They will NOT respond to emails or phone calls. Funny considering I have NEVER had a collection agency call me before this and I have proff I wasn' t in the wrong. They are money hungrey grubbie jerks that clearly do NOT care about their residents.

Yes, you are correct about FOXCHASE!!! But didn't you and others read the horrible reviews of these properties before you signed a lease. I don't feel sorry for anyone who signs a lease with these slum lords after they read the reviews here. Any good reviews are done by the staff at FOXCHASE!!! Beware...

Construction - The building is in shambles. Currently I have a crack in every wall and my window frames look like wheeping willows. I can exchange handshakes with folks and never open a window. On the leveling tip... don't bother. No room is square for you math folks... reminds me of that simpsons episode where the community built that house for Flanders. My walls also seem to be held together by toothpaste... damn you previous ghetto tenants. I however, enjoy the many renditions of door trim... nothing matches and it gives me that art deco feeling. Free Pets - Roaches, beetles, really fast centapede things oh my. It's Alexandria though... so I'll stop complaining. Parking - Some putz started a trend. Now the masses follow suit by taking two spaces for each vehicle. Oh and don't own anything nice. I was greeted by the community on my first week with an attempted theft. It was a wonderful experience. Not only was I pissed about them attempting to steal my car, I was also pissed to find that they were ametuer car thiefs. They did nothing but smash a window, fumble with things that would not help them drive away and they left my seats leaned back. Not happy. Neighbors - Neighbors are all cool and equally pissed about the tilted building... I meant to add this under construction.... Leaning Tower of Foxchase. Oh, and some lady likes to walk around backwards on the street. We have a variety of odd ones here. Now I have some Pros - The Rite Aid Manager is always stoned. Free cookies at Harris Teeter. I'm leaving. If your cable goes out, Comcast will attach a generator to the poles (con - gas runs out, no more cable til someone comes back). 2 a.m. sprinkler alarm firing streams of water on your window. I'm leaving. Oh, and my favorite.... the old Chevrolet Caprice sitting on 52s. This place does suck. Moving in must be like doing time in prison. YOu have tick marks on the wall, counting the days until your lease expires... sometimes the cracks will mix up the math and make you lose count. If you read any of the posts for this dump and still decided to move in, then there's no helping you.

While i dont mind foxchase too terribly much, i am TOTALLY with you on their not calling. I went away for a few days while not far, this was during that tropical storm in Early September. I had a plane to catch that day and i decided to stop and check on the apt...only to find that my carpet was gone. i did not get a call. no one even left a note. it was 6am so i called emergency maintenence ("my carpet is gone!") a few minutes later a man showed up at the door to tell me the sump overflowed...into my apartment. Although they were seemingly quick to respond, i really wish they would have told me.
