I agree with one of the other titles I saw: You get what you pay for. Definitely the cheapest apartments around without having to go out to Leesburg or PW county. The neighborhood is not that great. Our neighbors were never direct problems, I guess. There was a few people we said hi to and were friendly with but only in passing. The people above us and below always played very loud music - so loud the floors vibrated. It was really upsetting to me since I had a newborn in the house. There's a problem with people crowding the stairwells, usually middle-school kids or older people ACTING like middle-school kids. Everyone seemed to be a wanna-be thug, and it wasn't exactly cute watching the VERY young ones trying to imitate that. Police presence is VERY strong in the neighborhood. You'll see squad cars every single night. A police officer told me this was their 2nd busiest neighborhood. I know there's a drug issue - those participating aren't always inconspicuous. Either brave or stupid, I say.
The apartments are very large and ours was nice and clean when we first moved in. Bathrooms and kitchens could use updating, though. We had occasional issues with appliances... I think all of 'em at least once during the year we lived there. Most of the time maintenance was prompt. The only thing that irked me was they kept telling us to wait out the running of the toilet saying it would stop on its own. We dealt with a running toilet for the entire year. We just learned to close the door all the time.
Parking wasn't that bad a problem. Just make sure your pass is on the car (they give one to each person on the lease) or you WILL be towed, no joke.
So besides the bad neighborhood and the HORRIBLE sound insulation, the place isn't THAT bad... like i said, for the money... Oh, and the staff, well, they are a little daft. You'll notice high turnover rates in the office. For responsible tenants and especially for those who plan this to be a stepping-stone apartment, go for it. I doubt you'll absolutely hate it.
