Quite impressed! By far the most streamlined and fluid move-in I’ve had. Excellent service from everyone at the Leasing Office and extremely pleased with maintenance. I had an AC request on move in day and, not only did they find it and fix it, but they were here the same day the request was submitted. Last two places I lived in had an average wait time of 2 weeks. Kudos to Moses for his incredible service!
Needless to say, if you look on your map, we pretty much have everything shopping you... would need on a day-by-day, restaurants, groceries, hardware everything. Only thing kissing is an AMC, but the metro is around the corner so all I have to do is go up to Old Alexandria’s.
All in all, very satisfied and looking forward to my time here :)

Lacking commitment for improvements, the Beacon has seen better days. The amenities are old and hardly used and the cost keeps going up. The location is great but there is a lack of support and little change.

Overall very good. Great location, decently quiet, nice premium (not luxury) apartments, secure/covered parking, and relatively safe considering the surrounding neighborhood at times.

Relatively pest free, decently responsive maintenance staff, and nice office staff. Complains include 'market' rent increases, pet rent/deposits required/limits, trash fee, cleanliness of neighbors, and overall price/fees.

Biggest pros are the location in terms of convenience and walkability (terrible traffic... and bad noise if you apt faces rt 1), ample parking, and minimal crime/pests. I've lived here over 5 years because of this. Oh, and some of the layouts actually feature better kitchens than in many single family homes/condos.
