I moved in to Windsor Park based on the many positive reviews I saw on this website. I notice now that most of these are older and date back over a year, which probably should have been a warning sign.

On the positive side: rent here is very high, but relative to other rents in the extended DC area, not horrible. The layout of the apartments is very nice, they are designed with storage space in mind. No major pest problems so far either, and the area is pretty quiet.

On to the negatives...this place has not been maintained very well. I had to call to have several things fixed when I first moved into my apartment, and it took some nagging on my part before anything was actually repaired. Even then, I had to call back because some of the repairs didn't fix anything. Some things are still broken that really shouldn't be...ie, the locks on the window, which really isn't safe in this area. The whole place has a very impersonal feel, and while Windsor Park employees are nice enough in person, expect an abrupt letter on your door any time they need to communicate with you.

This isn't the worst place to live, if it's one of the only ones in your price range. It's not the best, either, though...be ready to deal with poor quality construction and to be "on your own" when it comes to the move in process. I will probably be moving out at the end of my lease.
