Randolph Towers: Overall -- good for the money (Recommending!)

2009-01-31T14:50:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived at Randolph Towers for 4 years. First the pros -- I've looked in this area extensively at apartments, and this is the cheapest you will find within walking distance to the metro. Also, the living space is really big for what you pay. We are having trouble finding ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: very satisfied family- definitely recommend! (Recommending!)

2009-01-08T07:35:52-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I used apartmentratings.com quite a bit when researching apartment options so I wanted to add my review once we had been in our new place for a while. We have been living here less than a year but are very happy with our choice. The pros: largish apartments, very well-kept ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Limited Fitness Center Access (Not Recommending)

2008-07-08T12:56:50-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The fitness center is only open during specific hours. During the day you have to sign in with the attendant. There is card access to the workout/cardio room beginning at 6 AM. The management will not provide a reason for not allowing earlier card access. The resident manager has said ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: The good life in Ballston, looking out at the newer buildings. (Recommending!)

2008-05-17T11:59:01-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The elevators sucked for a long time. But the management finally had them fixed in spring 2008. Now I just love living here.The building is amazingly quiet, day and night. I have not ever heard my neighbors, even though one of them has small children. The walls are thick. As ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Stay Away! (Not Recommending)

2007-08-08T14:10:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived in Randolph Towers for about a year and a half now, and I can't wait to move out. Rent is cheaper than the other buildings in the area, and you really do get what you pay for. The biggest issue of all, no surprise, are the elevators, or ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: it's not bad (Recommending!)

2007-08-04T02:51:19-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived in Randolph Towers for about half a year starting in 9/05 in one of the bigger 2-BR unfurnished apartments. As I was on government per diem and didn't have to pay for rent, I can't comment on price, but overall Randolph Towers was a very pleasant experience. Good ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Elevators are Annoying (Not Recommending)

2007-07-30T08:07:43-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for 3 years. I would strongly recommend NOT living here. The elevator situation is unacceptable. Nearly every day, 2 or 3 of the six elevators are not working. One day, there was one elevator working for the entire building. In such circumstances, you can wait 10 ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: A good option if... (Recommending!)

2007-07-04T02:44:17-06:00

From ks79551: Randolph Towers is certainly one of the older Dittmar Properties in Arlington, and it shows. The appliances are very old and the elevators are extremely slow, if they work at all. As another reviewer mentioned, this does not seem like a big deal but it can be very frustrating. These ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: fabulous! (Recommending!)

2007-06-08T08:21:22-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This building is the best place to live in the ballston area! The apts are larger than any i've seen, spacious balcony, washer/dryer in unit. I been living here for over 2 years and will be sad to move out! ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: You get what you pay for... (Not Recommending)

2007-06-06T11:28:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My roommate and I looked all around the Ballston area and found that RT was the least expensive building in the area that met our needs. The apartment was spacious and several hundred bucks cheaper than any other building around; however, the front desk staff were almost always rude and ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Great place to live (Recommending!)

2007-03-12T17:39:52-06:00

From BallstonBabe: I've lived at RT for seven years. It's an older building in an area with new construction, but the price is right. Rent increases have been 3% or less every year. The apartment (mine on 3rd floor) is VERY quiet, nice and modern but basic. Huge balconies. Maintenance is very ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: It's OK (Recommending!)

2007-02-18T12:33:40-06:00

From randolphresident: I've lived here 2 years. I'm about to leave - I feel like I can pay the same rent but get better bang for my buck across the street. Staff is ok - most are friendly with a few grumpy ones in the mix. The manager can be quite skeptical ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Great place to live! (Recommending!)

2007-02-07T16:27:22-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here for going on 7 years now and you really can't beat the Randolph Towers. It's in a prime location, and while you do pay a good amount for it, rent levels are nowhere near any of the other properties in the area. There's two grocery stores within ...

Randolph Towers: Don't Live Here! (Not Recommending)

2006-12-01T14:27:05-06:00

From incubowski: This building is horrible. I have lived there over a year now and have friends at every other building in the immediate area and they are all better. The price isn't horrible, but just about everything else is. The elevators are broken for months at a time, this doesn't seem ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Ridiculous (Not Recommending)

2006-11-12T15:36:38-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived in my 2 bed apt for nearly 13 months now and each month brings more problems. Though the price is very fair for the size of these dwellings, between the staff and the constant "broken" elevators and repairs I'm very excited for the new buildings across the street!

There ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: great value (Recommending!)

2006-10-06T14:46:31-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Moved in a few months ago and have already referred a friend (and I am getting a $200 commission). I have a one bedroom that is close to the size of two bedrooms I looked at, for less than $1500. The place is really clean, the desk is open 24/7, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Okay, but disappointing for the price you pay (Recommending!)

2006-09-23T19:05:06-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I recently moved to Randolph Towers from a pretty lousy apartment complex. I'm paying much more than I've ever paid for an apartment, though it's relatively inexpensive for the location, and I have to say I'm disappointed in what I'm getting for my money so far.

Location: Excellent -- about 2.5 ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: great value (Recommending!)

2006-07-23T20:30:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for 3 years and have enjoyed it. I have just had my third friend move in to an apartment here. The indoor pool is great, the fitness center passes (lots of gyms in the area), the maintenance staff is top notch. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Still the best value around Ballston (Recommending!)

2007-09-07T19:08:05-06:00

From kcjohn00: Comments here have been fair on the elevator situation. The contractor has let Dittmar down and now we're all paying the price. They are being replaced one by one so I'm hopeful that in another six months at the most we can finally have all the elevators up. The resident ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Overall a nice place to live (Recommending!)

2006-06-01T17:02:31-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I agree with all of the positive comments written here. Management is always helpful and courteous. Guest parking is free and not usually a problem. The building is a bit on the older side compared to the others but priced accordingly. The elevators are not great though but workable. Sometimes ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Huge apartments with a huge price (Recommending!)

2006-05-07T11:05:33-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Just moved in three months ago and have heard my friends and their problems at the "newer" apartment buildings and having to pay absurb amounts of rent. It kills me to think that the perception of a new building will be better living.

This is why I highly recommend my ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Everything but the elevators (Recommending!)

2006-04-09T12:03:58-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved in about 2 months ago and I like the units a lot. Overall, they are very nice and spacious with the largest balconies I've ever seen on an apartment. I wouldn't hype up the exercise facilities because they leave much to be desired, but the pool is a ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: (Not Recommending)

2006-04-06T21:01:52-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for 1 year and I have hated it every since. The people who run the building are no help when you need them. Its not the place to live in if you have kids. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Back For Second Time And Loving Every Minute Of It (Recommending!)

2006-01-20T10:40:10-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Randolph Towers is a wonderful place to live. I have not one compplaint. We lived here during 2004 but had to leave due to military reasons.
When we returned to the area we thought about renting elsewhere but not one place in the Arlington area could provide us with all of ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Price and Location...Not too Shabby (Recommending!)

2005-12-27T09:34:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Older apartments, but price and location can not be beat. Not to mention, management makes huge efforts keeping the building so, so clean.

I would rather be in an older apartment building that is well maintained, then a newer one that lacks management concern, like where I use to live, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Love it (Recommending!)

2005-08-12T21:09:33-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've been here since April '05 and LOVE it here. Great staff and great location. Very little noise other than the construction going on next door. Not so noticeable since it's hot out and windows/balcony door are closed. The balcony has a great view and overall, I really like it ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: good place (Recommending!)

2005-06-23T21:47:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: A little overpriced, but very clean and well-maintained. Rooms are very spacious and HVAC is newly renovated. The game room and pool are nice, but the gym is a joke. Cable is a complete ripoff, so make sure you ask about dish reception. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Great Place! (Recommending!)

2005-05-18T11:06:53-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I was there during the summer of 1999, one month in a penthouse and two months in a studio. Both were furnished, and I loved every minute. I would return, but I now have a dog, and they don't accept pets. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Hard to beat (Recommending!)

2005-05-03T09:01:33-06:00

From braves22: For the price and location Randolph Towers is hard to beat. You get your own garage parking space plus a washer/dryer in each unit. The only complaint about the building is security. There is no restricted access and there were a couple of attacks/break-ins that I know of. The staff ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: A great place to call home (Recommending!)

2005-04-06T14:23:33-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in Randolph Towers since 1998. The price is reasonable compared to some of the others close by. The Metro is close, the mall is close (which includes the movie theater), and there are so many bars and resturaunts to pick from. Parking is a big thing for ...

Randolph Towers: Good place, could use some improvements (Recommending!)

2005-03-25T15:00:31-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This was one of the best buildings I have ever lived in. Our apartment was large and the location is great. However, our dishwasher did catch on fire. It may have been on recall. We had 2 smoke alarms and a sprinkler system but nothing went off! The staff quickly ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Nicest apartments I've lived in (Recommending!)

2005-03-06T23:38:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My apartment was gigantic.
Lots of young professionals.
Never had any problems with security ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Don't live here! Not safe or secure! (Not Recommending)

2005-02-27T21:21:55-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Several women have been attacked in this building - easy targets because there is NO security in the building, and it is the only high rise building around that is not access controlled! The management is non-responsive to these attacks and does not let residents know when they occur. Do ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: UNSECURED and UNRESPONSIVE (Not Recommending)

2005-01-23T10:29:55-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I would not at all recommend this apartment complex to anyone. The rent is reasonable considering other prices around the area, but the lack of security and the lack of responsiveness from the management is horrible and very upsetting. The building invites anyone looking to cause trobule because it is ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Really enjoyed my stay. (Recommending!)

2004-09-14T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I stayed in a huge two bedroom-one den (that functioned as a third bedroom) on the 20th floor with a magnificent view of Ballston. I had my personal balcony as part of my room, and I could even see Pentagon City in the horizon. Each of my roommates and myself ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Overall, a decent place to live (Recommending!)

2004-03-09T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My experience at Randolph has been pretty good overall. My apartment is spacious and well laid out, if a bit dated. I walk into the kitchen and think "Ferris Beuller´s Day Off." If you´re a gourmet cook, you may want to go for a renovated unit. The thermostat on my ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Not So Sure (Recommending!)

2004-01-20T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Randolph Towers is generally a good place to live, but I´m not convinced I should renew my lease yet.

It is close to the metro as well as shopping and restaurants, so I hardly ever have to drive anywhere. Which is good since I have to pay $85/mo to park my ... [click to read full apartment review]

Randolph Towers: Great Place to Live (Recommending!)

2002-12-19T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived in Randolph Towers for 8 years. I loved the location, the enormous size of the apartment, the walk-in closets, the fact that I never heard my neighbors, the fact that I did not live in the flight path for National Airport, and the great layout of the apartment. ...

Randolph Towers: An unsecured building (Not Recommending)

2002-09-04T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The building provides a good price/quality ratio for the location and space provided, however anyone can walk in at all times of the day or night. The desk clerk has no way of knowing if the individual is a resident of the towers or not. Actually, I know of a ... [click to read full apartment review]
