Yes, there are downsides. We were just recently introduced to the roach problem that everyone here has mentioned already. But after four years of living here with no bugs at all, I can't say that I'm too too upset. We had roaches move in once the apartment next to us was vacated...which makes me think that the roaches holed up in there and used it as their base. But 30 roach traps later, the problem has disappeared. Don't use sprays, they don't work unless you use them consistenly. The traps poison the nest. <br><br>We live on the third floor and have fairly pleasent neighbors all in all. Some play their techno far too loud and others have kids screaming at all hours of the day, but live and let live. <br><br>The community is great for dogs. Lots of green area and places to walk, in addition to a new dog run that they installed. The location is minutes from Tyson's Corner, across the street from the Metro, and just 2 minutes down the road from a major post office and movie theater. Everything's at your doorstep. <br><br>The management is not genuine, but they are quick to help, and do what they can. The pools are nice, and the fitness room is great if you get there at slow times of the day (NOT right after work). <br><br>Guest parking is sorely lacking though. There are maybe 10 spots for the entire complex of hundreds of people, and it seems these spots are always taken by people's significant others, who park their cars there 24/7. <br><br>My biggest pet peeve? The trash rooms! People need to learn how to use the freaking dumpsters! No, you do not throw your bags onto the ground...they go INTO the trash can. This is what causes rat problems. Management should explain the policy in simpler language to get people to start following it. <br><br>All in all a good place to live, and a great price for the Washington area. Can't complain.
