River Place East: My unit is actually quite nice... (Recommending!)

2009-02-02T10:33:58-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The one piece of advice I can give you: the quality of this place varies HEAVILY from landlord to landlord. The building doesn't actually own anything, and if your landlord is good, you will rarely deal with the maintenance or other staff members! Make sure when you check out a ...

2008-02-11T08:50:51-06:00

From don12345: They hired people from the ghetto who barely can speak english for the desk jobs, and bring an element of their ghetto crime infested lifestyles with them. Beware! .

River Place East: Can be improved (Management) (Recommending!)

2007-07-21T22:51:08-06:00

From zbatia: My impression: the Management must be changed. There were numerous occasions when the promises were not fulfilled due to a lack of responsibility. The board must choose another Manager.

River Place East: Problem is board and landlords, not management (Recommending!)

2007-07-19T14:29:25-06:00

From 11220437: I only go to the office when there is a problem. Management, if they can, fix my problems. When they can't it is because it is down to my landlord (units are individually owned and quality of landlord is sheer luck) or to the board. Board of Directors however is ...

River Place East: Been here 6 months (Recommending!)

2007-03-17T20:34:57-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Pros: Location and price. A five minute walk to the Rosslyn metro and a 15 minute walk to Georgetown is nice. In addition, Rosslyn seems to be a very safe area of D.C. (I have not had any problems). And if you are a biker or jogger, there are four ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here many years, but in last 3 years, since we have had our new manager( as other users here called her "Eva Braun") things went down the hill.
Example: Summertime, hottest day ever, 100 degrees, 85% humidity, and suddenly Air Condition System is being shut down. We put ... [click to read full apartment review]

River Place East: Best deal in DC (Recommending!)

2006-06-06T14:29:19-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We're in a penthouse, which has its own AC, Washer/Dryer floor to ceiling windows, wood-burning fireplace and balcony overlooking Rosslyn. Admittedly, all the apartments are not this nice, but it depends on the owner. Look before renting. The walls are thick plaster, it is very quiet. And we like the ...

River Place East: Noisy and bad management (Not Recommending)

2006-04-30T09:47:14-06:00

From -Anonymous-: While this apartment is conveniently located, it has several drawbacks. The first is you can hear EVERYTHING your neighbors do or say and sadly, some are oblivious to the fact others can hear them; others just don't care (and neither does the management)
Despite what the last article says, the front ... [click to read full apartment review]

River Place East: (Recommending!)

2006-04-29T14:00:51-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'm surprised at the bad reviews. I've been here for about 9 months in a one bedroom and it's great. Near the metro, CVS, Safeway, can walk to Georgetown.

2006-03-14T16:21:14-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Although the place is not too aesthetically pleasing, the locale is PERFECT for the social bugs and dc lovers.

Pros:
Location is optimal. You can walk to metro or quickly drive to DC or MD. Could walk to Iwo Jima or easily access the bike path.

Always felt safe(I am female). Security was pretty good.

Low noise -- I occasionally heard my neighbor on one side, ... [click to read full apartment review]

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

From -Anonymous-: The apartment is great for its location to the subway (only 2 blocks away from the Rosslyn station) and relatively low price. Other than that, there is nothing special about the complex. Management has been slow to deal with problems and seems to be pretty disorganized. ... [click to read full apartment review]
