My husband and I lived in Post Forest for 2 years and it was great. It was extremely safe (no crime that I knew about), the management was friendly, helpful, and prompt; the fitness center was nice, the area was clean, and my husband and I never had any maintenance problems.
We had to move to Arlington because of our commutes (the hour and a half was killing us). That's the only bad thing about Post Forest - its slightly useless placement. You can get to the Metro station in about 20 minutes , but it's still a -----. However, if you work in Reston, Herndon, or Fairfax, it's perfect.
Our apartment was wonderful. We started out in a one bedroom and moved to a two bedroom after a year. The staff cut us a great deal on our 2 bedroom - $200 below the list price. We were good tenants - paid our rent on time, were polite, threw away our trash, etc.
Since moving to Arlington, I miss Post! I miss the washer and dryer, I miss the spacious bathrooms, I miss the fitness center, I miss the quiet community, and I miss being across the street from the Fairfax County Fair (funnel cake - yum).
My husband and I are moving back out soon (to Vienna). We have to live near a metro station, but if that weren't a requirement, we'd still live in Post.
