From -Anonymous-: quite, nice staff. too pricey. must pay an amenity fee when you renew your lease. renewal rate is MORE that what a new resident would pay for rent & the company will not negotiate.Parking is an absolute nightmare.

Avalon Crescent: Terrible Choice (Not Recommending)

2008-05-28T19:02:19-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Lucky I signed a short term as this place is not worth the ridiculous pricing. Loud due to the bus that starts going by at 6AM from the mall and the unusually high level of barking dogs. Not to mention half the residents do not feel the need to pick ...

Avalon Crescent: Good place and good location (Recommending!)

2008-01-27T19:59:30-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in Avalon for 2 years. The second year lease was up 10%, which was not very nice but still acceptable.

Avalon Crescent: Time and money NOT well spent (Not Recommending)

2007-07-27T07:07:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The management office at this complex runs a racket.First of all, my leasing consultant falsely and fraudulently misrepresented the buildings' construction to me. I was told that each floor in the buildings is separated by concrete. That was a false misrepresentation. The Post at Tyson's - just down the street ... [click to read full apartment review]

Avalon Crescent: Expensive, Good Location, Lots of Traffic (Recommending!)

2007-06-18T09:20:35-06:00

From dsoschin: PROS: Upscale property, small (but decent gym), gated, high rent keeps out the creeps; location to TysonsCONS: Expect large rent increases after your first contract term (ours was a 50% raise).

2007-03-25T10:50:36-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We have been in the townhouses for 2 years, and every spring and fall, we have ANT infestations in the bathrooms, the kitchen, the living room, and the foyer.

2007-01-14T15:01:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: A roommate and I lived here for one year when it, if I recall correctly, was brand new. We had noise issues, but the location and features more than made up for that.

2006-10-20T16:31:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My husband, 4-year-old son and I have lived in an Avalon townhome since August.

2006-08-13T20:43:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The townhouses are overpriced although the maintainance crew is outstanding responding to requests immediately.

2006-08-03T14:23:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I just recently moved out so I could buy a condo. The rent *is* expensive, but I found the service from both the Management and Maintenance team to be (overall) pretty good.

2006-04-21T13:35:02-06:00

Avalon Crescent: glad to know the management has posted... (Not Recommending)

2003-07-01T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The previous comments are such b.s.! I guess the management learned how to use a computer and post reviews to boost the comments of Avalon Crescent.

2003-05-26T00:00:00-06:00

From dc_renter_2000: Avalon Crescent is great.
Only drawback I see is that it´s in the middle of Tyson´s Corner - so there aren´t a lot of green tree/park areas in the immediate (5 min walking distance) area. If you got on your bike, though, you wouldn´t be too far from some greenery.

Basically, ... [click to read full apartment review]
