Halstead Alexandria Apartamentos

Shoddy interior and terrible maintenance. It feels like they pulled contractors from the bottom of the bargain bin.

This place isn't even close to worth the rent they charge. Avoid if at all possible.

Pay too much for a shabby townhouse that’s falling apart. Not to mention the gym is broken into almost every night by kids who play ball all hours of the night. Sleep is an understatement. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Where should I start. We have lived here for over 5 years and it progressively got worse. Anything I write please go ahead and check for yourself, by googling or if you decide to visit.

Its a gated community but the gates are always broken. Do not pay for that premium, there has been a murder, car break ins and a home invasion on the property.

They have a policy where they charge you for trash, Its an amenity but it doesnt feel like one. Instead you have dirty trash benches and rotting... trash in the hallways everyday. Just see for yourself on the tour. If they tell you that its limited to times of week and day, again just take a walk and look in them. You can always check the ring app and see rats and racoons wondering the hallways.

Make sure you do your math. Forget the fact they charge a much higher rate than other apartments in the area they add on a lot of fees. From trash which you can not opt out of even when they raise the rate mid lease. Parking, amenities etc. with two cars expect to pay at least $200 more a month.

The property has had a face lift but dont let that fool you, its old and so are its "bones" We have had at least one leak or flood annually

If you have a dog, its a great community with other dog owners. Make sure you look at the dog park and see if you can live with the cat litter they use in it. Just ask to see it and walk in. You will understand.

Again everything I listed is easy for you to verify. Use this review as a checklist. If you still want to move here you can maybe have some sway with all this knowledge to get an appropriate rate. Best of luck, Lee mas

If I could start by rating this place with 0 stars I would, I cannot in good conscience recommend this place to even my worst enemy.This place is an absolute dump!! The management does not AT ALL care about their community residents. The gates are constantly broken allowing tons of crime into what they advertise 'a safe gated property' BS! there is nothing safe or comforting about living here. I did not receive my security deposit back because the previous renters ruined the carpet and now are... making me pay it!!! I HATE THIS PROPERTY SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

So here we go with all the notes I took from the 1 year I lived here.

Let me start by saying this is not the place you want to live!!!! So I started this note/journal after a few sketchy things began happening & raised to property management.

So first; when I moved in I was told there was a domestic violent assaulter living within the community & the community wasn't the one to tell me!! They don't do anything to ensure safety. They promise a safe premise (they have gates) but the gates are constantly breaking down & being left open, people use the exit as an entrance & once someone didn't see me & almost hit me head on SMFH. I moved here because it was 10 minutes from Pentagon city where I'd be needing to work, however due to COVID I remained a WFH employee. And as December 2021 creeped around, our neighbors were robbed at gun point with their children in the home, and a car of theirs was stolen. The community took days to address this publicly meanwhile it was all over the neighborhood RING APP!! Let's not forget that the power goes in and out constantly & do not except fast internet, I have the latest router & fastest internet speed & it never reaches top speeds (EVER!) and it crashes all the time!!! So between the safety, power & internet issues then we had another neighbor whose car was broken into right in front of our home, then the best one which has still not been addressed by the community a third neighbor was raided by the FBI/SWAT team for drug possession. This community makes a lot of promises to keep their residents safe but they aren't doing any background check when screening their applicants. I would not recommend living here at all it's a total dump! Lee mas

Profiteering at the expense of the cast outs, Town Square raises rents to see which residents will float the higher bill and which will be priced out, forced to flee for some other abode. The price they offer new tenants is not this surged rent that kicked out the old tenant, but returns to the same fair price that enticed the last victim.

What they could do, is maintain fair rents, and try and not place monetary profit above their own inhabitants. They provide a home but no protection.
And!!... They put a limiter on their feedback textbox to less than a paragraph Lee mas
