Avalon Dunn Loring

I've been living at the Avalon for two years now and it definitely has its ups and downs. Firstly, the concierges here are AMAZING, especially Antoine and Anyssa! Like when Anyssa sees me leave to walk my dog, she'll have my packages waiting for me when I return, and Antoine once even brought me back a souvenir when he visited the country my family is from... they really make living here more enjoyable. I also really love the events they host although they tend to be few and far between these… days, especially the food trucks.

I will say in my time here (2 years) we have had our fair share of issues... to name a few:
-Drying machine has broken twice
-Kitchen stopped receiving electricity randomly
-A/C stopped working
-Uncountable garage and elevator outages over the last two years (both elevators have never been out at the same time, thankfully)
-And honestly, I'm sure there's more that I'm just not thinking of right at this moment.

WITH THAT BEING SAID! While it's all very inconvenient and frustrating at times, the maintenance team here is fantastic! I don't think I've ever gone a full 24 hours after putting in a maintenance request without a response and they almost arrive the next day, but they are very quick and reliable at getting the problem taken care of! Sometimes I feel like I may have settled moving here but overall I've made the Avalon my home for the last two years and I probably won't leave until I'm ready to buy :) Read More

Jose (maintenance) and Kim (front desk) are wonderful, everything else is awful. The ongoing fire alarm issue, the whole building smells weird, the garage door is always busted, and just a complete lack of care for the amount of money you pay. The amenities should be updated for sure, the gym looks worse than my college basement gym. The hallways also need updating, there’s ripped up carpet, doors are dirty, and the garbage room is always atrocious. The units that have not yet been renovated are… pretty beat up. The whole place inside and out just looks terrible. Also, I will add that 98% of neighbors are the RUDEST people I have ever met (and that’s coming from me being from NYC). Just overall extremely unpleasant experience. Read More

Do not live here. It may be a nice place with nice apartments, but the leasing office only wants you for money. When we signed the lease, the apartment had promised us that they would reduce our rent each month throughout our lease. They then deducted all of that money during that first month, and pushed us to potentially pay more than promised every month. After being told that it was "okay" to back out of the lease, the collector from the apartment called us on the day the first month's rent… was due, forcing us to pay both first month's rent for both this disgusting company and our new, more sophisticated, complex. I repeat, do not live here. They are not there to help you in any way. Read More

The worst experience! Call leasing office picks up “Yo?” Unresponsive, unprofessional, amk
