Park Adams Apartments: It has its perks (Recommending!)

2009-08-16T04:39:32-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here for two years and would probably consider staying if I had a washer/dryer in my apartment. The units are a good size and, probably best of all, very, very quiet - I can't hear either of my neighbors. The location is great - it's only a ten ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: great! (Recommending!)

2008-12-22T20:24:37-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I am reallly impressed with Park Adams. My apr was just renovated and has beautiful new appliances annd tile. The building is affordable for the area and GORGEOUS. The management staff was great until Holli left; the person in the office now is a little surly but not terrible. I ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: The location is about the only good thing I can say (Not Recommending)

2008-12-07T17:28:29-06:00

From bradley40@marshall.edu: The location of the building is great and the apartments aren't bad if you don't mind small kitchens and baths, old 1950's moldings and cabinets which have just been painted over and over. My main complaints are with the management staff. I have had multiple occasions where they have confused ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Downhill! (Not Recommending)

2009-01-20T10:44:01-06:00

From hether2783: This apartment is very convenient, but for the price (which is about the same as others in the area) I expect to be treated better. The office staff has always been a little inept, but the previous agent (Holli) was at least nice and tried to be helpful. Her replacement ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: love it! (Recommending!)

2008-07-21T12:17:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We have lived here for 2 years and are only considering leaving now in order to have more space (we can only afford the 1 bedroom apartment here). For the money, this is a great place to live. It is walking distance to the Clarendon metro and all the fun ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Great Place (Recommending!)

2008-06-20T10:46:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for 2 years and love it here. The rent is very affordable for 2bdrms, maintenance requests are handled within 24 hrs, credit-card option for laundry, gym is nice and clean, social room is very beautiful and usually available. Parking is free here and I have never ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Good Place for the money (Recommending!)

2008-05-20T08:54:33-06:00

From -Anonymous-: First, the A/C issue - per Arlington County statute, the apt. cannot turn off the heat until I think the end of April and since it is either/or in the building, you have to wait it out and hope for a cool-ish April. This year, the A/C was put on ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Not worth the money! (Not Recommending)

2008-04-26T15:50:06-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I agree with the previous reviewer. It has to be 80 degrees INSIDE the building right now!!! Last summer, the A/C was broken for weeks at a time, would usually go out around 9pm and the person answering the emgergency maintenance number was some very confused and incompetent girl who ...

Park Adams Apartments: Air conditioning & water (Not Recommending)

2008-04-26T05:28:19-06:00

From BurningAndThirsty: If you like AC, Park Adams isn't for you. The Apartment typically won't turn on the AC until at least mid-late May, at which point you're often sleeping in a pool of sweat. Once the AC is on, it's broken for about 30-50% of the summer. The result is that ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: good place for the money (Recommending!)

2008-03-01T05:34:29-06:00

From gwtwjin29: I'm living here now. I can't see I have too much complain about this place. It's more affordable than most other places around this neighborhood. You need to pay a fortune if you prefer any fancy life in this area. $2000 is the bottom line. It's decent, though a bit ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: no complaints (Recommending!)

2007-11-07T07:26:02-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I really like living here. Yes, it is a lot of money but yes, it's still a bargain for this part of the country. My studio is as large in terms of square feet than the 2 bedroom flat I own in London, and there's loads of storage space. It's ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Not bad for the price, quite whining. (Recommending!)

2007-07-19T09:36:01-06:00

From rurumon: For the money, I don't think you can find a better deal. The 1 bedrooms are spacious, and any problems are usually fixed by a nice guy named Jesus. Anyone who complains of price obviously hasn't seen what other apartments are running in the area, and has no comprehension of ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Not worth the $$$ (Not Recommending)

2007-07-17T21:28:50-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This could be a nice place to live if it weren't for the maintenance issues. There is usually a problem with the laundry room, i.e. machines take money but don't work. For about 6 months, there was only one working elevator. It seems lik the water gets shut off every ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: I had a pretty good 4 years here (Recommending!)

2006-12-05T22:37:53-06:00

From twilight: Location and closet space and pool/bbq (I had a large yard) made my stay wonderful. I never really had a problem with the maintenance...nothing major really, I've lived in apartments where response was far far worse. They were always really friendly with me and would work with me. I'll actually ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: (Recommending!)

2006-10-19T11:32:53-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for two years, and would recommend it, with a few notes. The location is great, especially for the price, and my apartment was huge, with tons of closet space. I lived on the top floor, so I never had a problem with bugs, but could see ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Great location, bad service (Not Recommending)

2006-10-02T14:37:47-06:00

From -Anonymous-: First off, the good: The location is great. It's a short walk to the Courthouse metro and to the Courthouse / Clarendon neighborhoods. The price is also decent for the location.

Now that's over with, the bad:

First up, an important safety note. The water that comes out of the hot water ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Not worth it (Not Recommending)

2006-06-30T16:07:46-06:00

From esoterica: The place is ok. Good pool, wonderful maintenance staff, decent management. However, the owners, (WRIT corporation,) are TERRIBLE!! They always accept the lowest bids on outside contractors and everything is always falling apart. Water pipes constantly burst and the entire place will be without water and/or air conditioning with no ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Affordable Average Place (Recommending!)

2006-06-08T18:17:25-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I agree with other posts about the roaches and lousy constructions going on all year in 2005 (Thank god it's over!) but this place really isn't this bad. Depending on what you are looking for, this place is close to courthouse metro and metro buses, close to DC, Georgetown, Ballston, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: It's average (Not Recommending)

2006-05-17T17:39:08-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I wouldn't rate this as poorly as the person below who gave a report card rating. Sure, it is not the nicest place, but it is good for the price. Depsite what that poster said, the biggest selling point for me was the PRICE. It is cheap. maybe that person ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: DO NOT MOVE HERE (Not Recommending)

2006-05-15T13:01:18-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Management = F
Terrible, will not do anything for you, and as soon as you learn their names, the staff changes. Terrible

Location = A
Close to Downtown Arlington and Metro stations

Apartment = F
Can you say cockroaches? Remodeling that actually means fumigating or just destroying a wall because they feel ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Overpriced! (But cockroaches stay free!) (Not Recommending)

2005-11-04T16:36:04-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Park Adams has a good location, close to the Courthouse Metro, and they fully exploit that fact in their rent. To pay about $1400/month for this place is ridiculous, there are much nicer places near by that are not much more expensive.

The worst thing about the summer was that ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Peeling ceilings (Not Recommending)

2005-08-05T00:10:24-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Now the ceilings appear to be falling apart. Big huge bubbles of plaster are forming around the air conditioning vents and near the air conditioning unit. It is very very bizarre and has only happened recently. In the pseudo workout room (a 2nd floor apt.) these disgusting bubbles have overtaken ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: I concur (Not Recommending)

2005-06-28T12:44:19-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I agree with the posts since 2005 as that is when I moved it. I saw the writing on the wall but ignored it. Oh-my-god is the leasing center staff incompetent. If I had more time I would fill pages and pages with complaints about dealing with them ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Horrible Building, but Worse Management (Not Recommending)

2005-06-20T11:34:31-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I am moving out of this building by the end of the month, because this has been the worst rental experience I have ever encountered.

2 years ago, the property was staffed by a friendly, competent group. Sure, things would go wrong but they were friendly and prompt. However, within the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Hahaha - joke of a place (Not Recommending)

2005-06-18T23:32:07-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Sure the apartments are sized pretty well and gosh it's close to the metro and if that's enough for you then I say go ahead and rent here. But you know - there's that whole water issue where they'll give you one evening's notice that the water will be turned ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Staff & management still worthless and incompetent (Not Recommending)

2005-05-12T15:01:15-06:00

From livinNcrap: Constant construction (ongoing for the last 2 years), and a ever-changing mindless idiots that run the office make you wanna pull your hair out. Vistor parking has become a major issue simply because if someone drops by the see you when the office is closed, and park in the 'visitors ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: You get what you pay for. If you're lucky. (Not Recommending)

2005-05-06T16:46:43-06:00

From -Anonymous-: In the first nine months I lived at Park Adams, there were three management staffs. Apparently either the staff kept quitting, or they kept getting sacked; either way this is indicative of the deep rooted problems in this building.

The area is safe, and it is surprisingly quiet despite being near ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: A good basic apartment (Recommending!)

2004-10-30T16:39:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Park Adams is a good place to stay as long as you don't need to deal with maintenance.
The apartments are large and have good sound insulation. The area is very safe and prices are good for the neighborhood. A 10 minute walk to the metro, shopping, etc.
However, if anything breaks ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Not the best choice (Not Recommending)

2004-08-31T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for a short while. The apt was not very clean (to say the least) when I arrived. Things were always breaking in the apt. and management wasn't very efficient (but there is different management now). My gas stove leaked and it was a whole day before someone ...

Park Adams Apartments: Great location, no frills....good as you'll get for the price (Recommending!)

2004-06-14T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Look, its not the Ritz Carlton but neither are the prices.
It is clean, comfortable, spacious and well worth renting if you want somewhere accessible and close to Metro.
There were two guys there when I rented and they were pretty inefficient. They left and new staff were brought in just as ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Recommended (Recommending!)

2003-09-17T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: It´s true that this place is no frills compared to what´s available, but the location, the staff, and residents make it more than recommended. Location is definitely the best. I can walk to work or take the metro. Take a taxi into DC or arlington. Lots of park area for ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Nice, convenient location (Recommending!)

2003-07-13T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I spent three years here and loved it. The location was convenient: 10-minute walk to Metro and Clarendon nightlife, and easy access to I-66. Brick-and-concrete construction kept the noise down. I had one of the ground-floor apartments, so I had my own private entrance (no need to deal with entry ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: OK place to stay three years ago (Recommending!)

2003-06-30T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for one year in 1999. I enjoyed living here - the location was great for metro access. The only problem that I had was visitor parking. There is never enough, and sometimes I would come home late at night and not be able to find a spot ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: No frills place. Expensive but OK for neighborhood. Location is convenient enough. (Not Recommending)

2003-02-05T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I would not recommend the place unless you are looking for some of the strengths of the apartment.

NEGATIVES
PARKING - it is bad. There is not enough for visitors and if by mistake you park in the wrong spot your car WILL get towed away VERY FAST. I think the tow ... [click to read full apartment review]

2002-10-05T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I´ve lived here two years. The price is not so bad for Arlington, especially for the very large apartment that I have. The problems with the air conditioning are true but this year wasn´t nearly as bad as the past. The air conditioning was fixed fairly quickly this year.

2002-10-03T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: They´ll seem friendly when you first move in - but then you can forget any contact. Good luck getting your security deposit back and having any sort of communication with the staff. They don´t even communicate with each other when it comes to the tenants. The building itself is ok ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: Owners should be ashamed (Not Recommending)

2002-04-16T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Tenants were nervous as spring neared, worried that the air conditioning problems that plagued them all last summer would be back.

Well, it´s only mid-April, but it´s pushing 90. And guess what. It was 83 degrees in my unit this morning! Ownership tried to fake tenants out, by sending a letter ... [click to read full apartment review]

Park Adams Apartments: I´m content with everything but the rent. (Recommending!)

2001-12-26T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: With rents skyrocketing in the neighborhood, Park Adams is the best you´re going to find for the money--which is still way too much.

From -Anonymous-: I agree with the previous poster.

If you value having a comfortable climate, don´t move here. A/C broke down every year at least a few times. Always too hot in the apartment - even in winter. And even when working, the system is NOT adequate to cool/heat a building the ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: If you value air conditioning, don´t move here. If you have friends that will visit, don´t move here. There´s no where to park, and if they park illegally in the lot -- even on weekends when it´s a third empty -- they will be towed immediately. And the entry system ...
