2004-12-27T13:25:50-06:00

From Feldstyped: It's true. This is not a very well kept property. I don't think I'd recommend that anyone I know would want to live here unless it's because they have somehow fallen on hard times and there is nothing better to rent.

Renting, anyway, feh.

But, for this, I would not want to ... [click to read full apartment review]

2004-08-11T00:00:00-06:00

2004-07-26T00:00:00-06:00

From bears5400@yahoo.com: Every "poor" rating this complex has been given is well deserved.

Summit Reston: Entropy experiment (Not Recommending)

2004-03-10T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place is interesting from a socio-economic perspective. The hypothesis is that people will endure a certain degree of shabbiness, poor service, and 1940´s era appliances imported from Yugoslavia before they will endure an exhorbitant fee to move early.

Summit Reston: Sweep it under the mat... (Not Recommending)

2004-02-19T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I thoroughly agree with the previous poor reviews. Administration just seems to sweep everything under the mat from MAJOR police enforced busts, black ants, horrible heating systems that can break anyone´s bank, nail breaking storm windows and screens to freight train sounding washers and dryers.

After several visits to administration, as ... [click to read full apartment review]

Summit Reston: They´d need a whole construction crew to make this place nice again (Not Recommending)

2004-02-07T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: First, they never fix anything or keep up the landscaping. The neighborhood is going downhill, once there was a car up on blocks for about a month in the parking area.

They plowed when it snowed last year, this year looks like they just expected people to stay in.

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for 1 year and we didnﾴt have any huge maintenance issues and the apartment was mediocre. However, the leasing office staff was definitely less than professional and helped make that year incredibly annoying.

From -Anonymous-: Although a few years old, these apartments still feel pretty new as long as you pay no attention to the circa-1980´s washer/dryer (I´m not sure that´s the case in all units).
