2006-01-24T10:33:03-06:00

From youphoric: I've been here for about a year, and I love the community. I won't be renewing, only because I'm getting a roomate.

That's besides the point.

The apartments are quiet while you're in them, or at least my neighbors are quiet. The paint is bubbling in a few places, and the pipe ... [click to read full apartment review]

Charming building, crown molding, speedy maitenance, immaculate, safe, and quiet grounds, nearby grocery stores, staff is decent-not friendly, not mean, rather uninformed.

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in Braddock Lee for two years and have to say that while the location is great (right off 395), the overall noise level leaves something to be desired.

2003-04-05T00:00:00-06:00

From Alexandria_renter: I´m in my fourth year here at Braddock Lee, and above all have been very pleased. Part of this is personal taste--I like a garden style apartment with some character, not a new cookie-cutter high rise community. These are older apartments, which in my book is a plus. They are ...

2003-03-24T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Have you ever wondered what it was like to fall asleep to the lull of your neighbor´s snoring? You´ll never need an alarm either, because you can pick your choice of wake-up sounds, the endeering scream of a child or the neighbor´s shower radio.
Maybe it´s just my building, but ... [click to read full apartment review]

Braddock Lee: Decent (Recommending!)

2002-11-06T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: A decent place to live. The building is a bit old, but has recently been re-modeled. Security could be better... There currently isn´t any although I have yet to hear of a single problem. Maintainance is o.k. and staff is friendly and reasonable.

Living in an older building does have disadvantages. ... [click to read full apartment review]

2001-10-31T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: These are great apartments to live in. They are being fully renovated as tennants move out, so chances are you will have a new kitchen, bathroom and carpet throughout.
