Best place to be in NoVA

Moved here over a year ago and have really been very pleased. The staff is terrfic - they've gone out of their way from responding to requests beyond their responsibilities.

Convenience is incredible - something that's rare in this area. Just a quick local road and I'm on 495 or 267, 66, etc. Love having great little restaurants and shopping that you can walk to.

The apartments are huge compared to those wood frame hideous things called communities that are newer. Here, it is cement floors - you cannot hear a peep from anyone. Well built, haven't even felt the cold as I sat under the window in the winter. Hot water is very hot and the water pressure is terrific (I love my showers).

Unlike the wood frame buildings I scouted around here, you don't have to pay for water or any other fees. Not for the pool, the exercise center or the business center. The heat is switched over twice a year (air conditioning and heater) - not really a big deal, I've lived in cities all over and its the same. Don't know how they do it, but last winter my electric bill (which includes heat) was around $45 a month. When was the last time you paid an electric bill that low'

Parking is good, always find a spot. Like the garage in the winter tho', it beats the cold.

Yeah, there's a few older folks here, but also young families and 20-40 somethings professionals. They've all been quite friendly and I've always felt safe here. Security is great - important if you're single.

So, to the person who made the comment that the previous comment sounded like something from a catalog - well, before you spout off your cynic words, get off your backend and check it out. Trust me, been everywhere in this area, and it was the best place around (space, price, convenience, service).

Enjoy!
