I like my apartment, it's location, and my neighbors. My rent is reasonable and the maintenance has improved since I have here over the past 3 years. Very happy with the maintenance staff especially since it's my main reason I rent vrs buying a house. The issues I have is the mail trash bins not cleaned daily but that's not a requirement. Some residents and their kids are throwing trash on the ground over the weekend, damaging the back gates causing it to be locked while getting fixed and... throwing dog waste bags in the mail trash bins. Most of the issues are more the residents than the apartments staff, so my overall experience is very good.

Had hiccups with roaches in the beginning, had to hire an external exterminator company- the parking is a huge issue in my area. Gates never work properly. Super close to my family and super close to the highway. Lived in Arlington my whole life.

Hello Ashleigh, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We acknowledge the concerns regarding the initial pest issues and the gate challenges. We are working to ensure the gates are back in order. If you have any issues with... bugs in the future, don't hesitate to let us know so that we can arrange the necessary abatement services. It’s great to know that the location works well for you. Our staff is always happy to help should anything come up. Thank you, again. - The St. John's Forest Team
