The Grove at Arlington (formerly Metropolitan of Arlington): Location, location, location! (Recommending!)

2008-09-16T07:38:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'm an owner of a 3-bedroom condo and have been living here for over 2 years now. I LOVE it! It's in the middle of everything--Old Town Alexandria, Shirlington, Pentagon City, National Airport, Crystal City, right off of 395 and down the street from Ballston and Clarendon. Yes, it's not ...

2005-09-20T18:16:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved in to the Metropolitan a short period before it was sold and converted to condos.

The Grove at Arlington (formerly Metropolitan of Arlington): Terrible Transition to Condo Status (Not Recommending)

2005-08-02T17:44:38-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Red Flags everywhere for a disjointed effort to turn these Condo. KSI had new residents signing 1 year leases all this spring and summer KNOWING they were selling the building and our apartments would become Condos. The communication surrounding the sale was awful and renters found out by a piece ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-07-10T01:01:26-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived at the Metropolitan for about a year and a half, and overall, it's been a good experience.

Here are the major categories-I'll just break them down:

1. Parking-Garage is really roomy and the gates usually always work. However, when they break, it seems to take awhile for them to ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Grove at Arlington (formerly Metropolitan of Arlington): Fairly Good, but pricey and maintenance problems (Not Recommending)

2005-04-21T08:24:10-06:00

From cdwallin: We have been here for almost two years and we are signing another lease. We have never heard the tenant above us, so it makes for a quiet evironment. The breezeway is a noisy during the hours that people are going to and from work. The staff is very nice ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Grove at Arlington (formerly Metropolitan of Arlington): Great Experience (Recommending!)

2005-01-14T13:51:43-06:00

From dcbaby79: Overall my experience here was a good one. My biggest complaint is that the water pressure is terrible. I specifically checked the pressure in the apartment that I viewed and it was fine. But when I moved into my apartment it sucked. I know that it sounds trivial, but when ...

The Grove at Arlington (formerly Metropolitan of Arlington): don't use the gym!! (Not Recommending)

2004-10-10T22:51:38-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place has several problems, but for now I only have the patience and energy to talk about the gym in the clubhouse. The equipment offered is adequate as far as apartment gyms go. It's the people that are nasty. Mainly the men that go in there. Didn't your mommies ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Grove at Arlington (formerly Metropolitan of Arlington): Beware of sluggish office staff!! (Not Recommending)

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

From -Anonymous-: This is definitely not the worst place I've lived, and it is certainly not the best. Understanding that ALL apartment complexes have problems, this one still takes the cake. The office staff is friendly- but that's it. The less they have to do the better. Don't bother calling about anything ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Grove at Arlington (formerly Metropolitan of Arlington): If you hate yourself live here!! (Not Recommending)

2004-07-17T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I told the truth on here before but Management apparently didn't like that and had it removed. I don't need to leave a posting; the complex, the way it is run and the people it is filled with will all speak for themselves.

Most of the positive feedbacks sound suspicious!! They ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: Their promise to address noisey neighbors is bogus - the residents below me slam doors, argue - thin walls and pass the buck seems to be the MO for staff - how do I like it here???NOT very much - you can hear every footfall from the breezway - the ...
