Cityside Huntington Metro Apartamentos

Pros: Free shuttle to Huntington Metro, and close to Old Town. Pretty ample space for the price nowadays in Alexandria.

Cons: No a/c until May 15th (you will be sorry when it's 95 degrees outside in the spring and cannot sleep), works on an old boiler system that breaks down weekly. The main entrance door is always broken and homeless people sometimes sleep in the lobby. Security is poor. Police are often in the building.

My experience: They have carbon monoxide detectors that randomly go off... , but maintenance has told me they are defective and do not actually detect anything. My fridge broke a few months ago and maintenance said it might happen again because the unit is 25 years old but that they would not be replacing it. All four of someone's tires got stolen in the 6034 parking lot. I only had one roach (yippee). Oh and if you decide to stay for more than a year, your rent will increase by $200 at least (in income-capped housing??). Lee mas

The apartment has deteriorated from year to year. Live here for 5 years roaches and rats are living rentfree, dog poop is everywhere neighbors smoke weed in their household not only comes to the corridors but also cames to your room as if yourself is smoking when you call off. For complaint, they disregard your problem instead of finding a solution for the entire community move out ASAP

STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. The one star is for the sole purpose that my unit is very pretty, light, and has a good layout. However we got the model apartment I've heard and the others are outdated. WAY too overpriced for a building infested with cockroaches, water heating issues, and cheaply made. Also there's no heat or AC. No matter what you do, no matter how many times the exterminators come out or how much raid you use, you will have roaches 100%. The showers are hot at first then go... ice cold, then you have to run it for a while to get it hot again and just stand there cold. Super annoying. They will shut off the water some days for 8 hours saying they're doing maintenance but the isssue never goes away. Everything falls apart, every door, every handle, anything that can fall off, will. Certain residents have absolutely no respect and throw their trash outside the trash rooms and don't put it down the chute, they block the door so you can't throw your trash away leading to it piling up in your home. This place is absolutely disgusting and management does literally nothing to help. Have talked to multiple other residents and they agree and want out. Save your money and DONT MOVE HERE. Lee mas

Qualifies as a slum. Roaches $300+ electric bill for 1 br apt on the basement level!! Only 1 building is livable. In response to previous replies from mgmt: They are well aware of pests. Had to choose 1 star there should be an option for zero.

Excellent service & tour of the apartments. Looking forward to staying here
