Foxchase

Got approved for the apartment but two days before I was supposed to move in they tell me they did their calculations wrong and said I don’t make enough to live there mind you I make cash tips too and I was close to the minimum I try to get a co-sign but they need 5x the apartments costs they’re not even paying for it terrible experience terrible leasing office agents don’t go here they make it so hard to move in

Foxchase is great. The staff and the grounds are great. I love my apt. Any issues I’ve had have been resolved so quickly by the staff. Highly recommend Foxchase and it’s affordable.

Horrible pest infestation problem. I lived in the apartments on Imboden street ( for reference) My neighbors all said they had pest problems as well. People would leave their furniture outside my door constantly, the washer and dryer was always broken. I had to ask constantly to get it fixed but it never did. I used to see my neighbors take their close to a laundry mat. I had to use other units laundry room. Eventually gave up and went to a laundry mat as well because theirs was broken too!!… Overall if you were to believe any believe this one DO NOT LIVE HERE HORRIBLE. Read More

Safety: The door is consistently unlocked and/or broken. All a person has to do is yank on the door with a little extra strength to gain access.
The apartment complex is located next to Alexandria Hospital. Although there is nothing wrong with the hospital's efforts to help this community's most vulnerable, there are many undomiciled people and people in green gowns (given to patients with psychiatric conditions) roaming the streets in this apartment community. I was chased to my car, catcalled… a lot, and had people banging on the windows at the gym in an attempt to scare me.
Lastly, ~1 block away from the apartment complex 4-5 men threw Molotov cocktails into the 7-Eleven on our street. Also, there is a more recent shooting at the other 7-Eleven, which is like 5 minutes away. I also watched my neighbors being arrested.

Parking: We both opted to pay for 2x reserved spots. His reserved spot was across the street, under a tree, and almost always flooded. His car sat in ~0.5 feet of water so often that there was algae growing in the Spring and a permanent outline of the bottom half of his tires made out of mud and snow in the Fall/Winter.
People often parked in our reserved spots forcing us to park elsewhere. If you are thinking, I pay $60 for a reserved spot...if it is taken, I can park elsewhere in the permitted, first-come first-serve spots just overnight...Wrong. You get towed.

Smoke-free community:
False: Multiple people in our apartment complex smoked. The smoke travels into your apartment almost 24 hours/day.

Pest Problem:
Although we are very clean and tidy people who lived on the second floor, we frequently had mice and cockroaches in our apartment. After notifying them about mouse droppings on the kitchen counters, we were informed of a hole behind the dishwasher connecting to the AC balcony door. Although they closed the hole, we saw ANOTHER mouse. They moved the stove this time and found ANOTHER even larger hole.

Lease:
Be aware that your lease automatically renews. As we let them know 52 days in advance that we were choosing to not renew our lease and move out when the lease ended we were charged $405.50.
You will not get your security deposit back. They will charge you for the painting of your entire apartment ($294.67) even if you put up only one painting. Do not worry about cleaning prior to moving out. They hire a cleaning company that charges you $130.00 no matter the state of your apartment. Read More
