Richmond Square Apartments: Great value for area (Recommending!)

2007-10-28T21:44:32-06:00

From timroseboom@hotmail.com: Arlington is very expensive, coming from the midwest, but Richmond Square is a good value for the price.

2007-02-24T15:26:53-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I highly recommend this place because management takes pride in the whole building. If you have a maintenance call, they come up easily within 24 hours.

Richmond Square Apartments: Consistent and Good Value (Recommending!)

2006-05-27T11:43:51-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Building is very clean and doesn't try to nickle and dime you like other properties in the area, meaning utilites and parking are included and that is such a huge value.

Richmond Square Apartments: Consider Living Here (Recommending!)

2006-04-23T22:59:24-06:00

From -Anonymous-: You get a slightly better than average apartment for a slightly below average price. I do have my complaints, but unless you're fabulously wealthy, you should probably take a serious look at this property.

1) Very very good but not perfect location. The imperfection is that Wholefoods, Clarendon, and the Post ... [click to read full apartment review]

Richmond Square Apartments: PLACE SUCKS @SS (Not Recommending)

2006-03-27T20:05:07-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Lets put it this way.. if you are like me then you would have a problem with poor insolated sliding glass doors on the balcony that let cold air and noise in, water that often takes 10-15 minutes to get hot during important hours (dishwashing, washing machine, shower) having to ...

2006-03-12T16:33:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If you don't own a car, you don't get a parking spot despite paying the same rent as those who do own cars.

2006-03-08T12:14:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived at Richmond Square for two years and really enjoyed it. The building and apartments are very nice.

Richmond Square Apartments: Best value for the area (Recommending!)

2005-07-06T10:21:02-06:00

From kermit7: Prices are similar in the Ballston Metro area---but the utility is the killer when the overall rent cost is considered. So finding an apartment with rent sans utility is a rarity. A plus for Richmond Square.

Walls are well sound-insulated. If there is noise, it's from across the street at the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Richmond Square Apartments: So far so good (Recommending!)

2005-03-14T12:42:26-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I haven't had any problems. The building seems well maintained, and management seems to care about you even after you've signed on the dotted line.

My only caveats are the price and the lack of screens on the window.

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

From -Anonymous-: While the apts. are nice, they are pretty small, and the location is pretty good, but you hear a lot of noise. They did tow my car from their parking garage and didn't reimburse me.

Richmond Square Apartments: Water Problems (Not Recommending)

2003-04-09T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I agree completely with the first two reviews.
