Virginia Square Plaza Apartments: Management (Not Recommending)

2009-05-05T11:18:32-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for 2 years and the manager Eileen Legge is HORRIBLE. I would advise anyone considering moving here against it.

Virginia Square Plaza Apartments: Beware of hidden fees (Not Recommending)

2008-10-24T15:11:33-06:00

From reader2006: I lived for more than two years in the Virginia Square Plaza building, and overall I enjoyed my experience.

2007-07-31T17:04:45-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The SAME DAY a negative review was written, there was a response, seemingly written by staff at VS, probably this "emperor" herself.

2007-07-29T10:18:03-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Regarding the preceding review, can you believe there's an apartment manager overly concerned with the safety, security and upkeep of the building that she requires compliance with the fire code and the apartment lease and employs a dose of common sense?Yes, the Arlington County fire code prohibits gas and charcoal ...
