Crystal Towers is a huge complex with the standard amenities in Crystal City with a nice workout room, pool, and the standard Smith internet connections.

However, this is an old building with its own set of problems.
Ventilation is not very good. You can smell folks cooking down the hall. Plus, I've
noticed a problem with mold.

Somehow all of these glowing reviews (probably posted by Smith staff)
don't account that the age of the building and its problems don't equate to the
prices of a brand new apartment.

If you aren't allergic to mold, like the smell of your neighbors dinner, and
can afford huge rent increases, then maybe this is the place for you.

What I think most of us can't live with is the huge rent increases and the
impolite management staff. I know all about the manager not returning phone
calls like one of the other tenants posted. If you are a resident, just
mention calling the central Smith management office, and you'll get
their attention more quickly. The Customer Service Line is 877-072-4786.

Is this the worst place to live' No

Does it have good qualities' Yes

Will my rent increases be reasonable each year' No

Is management and the leasing staff consistent, polite, and useful' No

Would I recommend others living here' No

If you can afford Crystal Towers
prices then move to a newer building over in Ballston or Courthouse.
