Now called the Ridgeliegh, this apartment has aq nice layout and new appliances. We have been very comfortable here and found it safe. The layout and size of the apartment are also great. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

The amenities are horrible, though. The workout room has the heat on 24X7 and you can't open the windos because of the alarm (don't let them tell you there will be air conditioning, they said that last year). The fan and TV are also laying broken for two months.

The ppol is not open yet (mid-May right now) and closes at 4:30 even when it is open. Not good for a 9-5.

I agree completely on the rotten state of the amenities, but if you open the window in the work-out room, no alarm goes off. The sign is obviously just a ploy to keep people from reducing the temperature in there below 100.

FYI, the pool is open from memorial day to labor day, per fairfax county regulations. they are open until 8 pm, also. I'm not sure why you think they cloes at 430.
