Overall: not great, poorly managed, fire hazard There was recently a major fire here resulting in 13 units being uninhabitable and 1 death. The cause has not yet been determined/announced. Not all smoke detectors in the units were working, there are no sprinklers, and there is not a fire alarm to pull in every building. The management company has stated that they have no plans to update for fire safety. I no longer feel safe living here. Look into this before moving here! The community is in a convenient location in Centreville close to a lot of restaurants and not too far from the metro. The neighborhood is seemingly safe, quiet and always looks nice with good landscaping. Since they are doing renovations, most amenities have been closed (gym, pool, and business center). The new package lockers are very convenient though. Unfortunately valet trash pickup has been discontinued and the on site dumpsters are always overflowing. Also parking is hectic in the evening and for guests (they are quick to tow!). The apartments themselves are nice enough but nothing special. They do have a lot of different floor plan options. Unfortunately you can easily hear outside noises and they are not well insulated. A big red flag is that there are no sprinklers in the units! I've called Bent Tree home for a few years but am ready to move on and upgrade.

Parking is still nightmare. They have these "reserved spots" right in front of each building that you can pay for but no one pays for them so they're always open and when I'm circling the complex at night trying to find parking those are the only ones open but I can't park in them or I'll get towed. Just do yourself a favor and go elsewhere unless you want a headache. They're trying to re do the siding and paint the brick of all the building right now while we're still waiting for them to open the renovated gym and clubhouse and while we're waiting for them to repair the burned building.There was a multi unit fire over 4 months ago but I still have to drive by a black burned building surrounded by construction equipment when nothing has changed and doesn't like they've rebuilt any part of the building. They have fences taking up a bunch of parking near that building too which could be used because if you get home after 8 pm good luck finding parking. Last night I had to walk across the entire complex carrying my 2 year old who was asleep because I got home around 11 pm. I work late and I work 45 hours a week and am a mom so to spend 30-45 minutes looking for parking and then carry my sleeping child across the complex is ridiculous and management DOESNT care. My last Yelp review the "business owner" said someone reached out but surprise surprise, no one did. My lease was almost up and I was looking to transfer so I called the leasing office and spoke to a gentleman about what unit and he said he would get it approved by his boss and call me back. Well after a month of waiting I said forget it I don't want to pack anymore and no one called back. So I'm on the resident website and it says my upcoming auto payment was a few hundred more than usual so I'm like wtf, I walk to the leasing trailer and speak to someone and she was like yeah you're moving in the 18th of next month that why your rent went up. So apparently I was scheduled to move and no one told me?! The gentleman never called me back about transferring but put in the transfer.. I never signed any new lease or anything and no one spoke to me. The guy over heard me and was like "oh yeah that was me I knew I should've called you back." The woman said she would fix it and contact me. She contacted me a few days later and apologized it took a few days because hey had already LEASED MY APARTMENT TO SOMEONE ELSE. They leased the apartment I was living in to someone else without contacting me and having me sign transfer papers. I really feel bad for those people because they probably had to find something else and just go through a headache. Hopefully they went to another complex! I will he emailing Aimco everyday until they fix this parking issue because I should not have to waste 30 minutes and my gas just to park at my own home. Seriously if you are still reading this please just go to another complex unless you like wasting your time finding parking or getting hit with hidden fees and looking at construction equipment in front of every building. UPDATE: parking still SUCKS and no one wants to pay for reserved when they already charge us $15 per car.. the tennis court still doesn't have a net. The trash compactor and trash bins are ALWAYS full but if I leave my trash outside my door for ONE night the neighbors bitch. I'm sorry that I have a two year old and I'm on bed rest so I don't always get around to taking it in 10 minutes, but yet everyone uses their balcony as storage which they say isn't allowed and people leave bikes and scooters stored outside their door for weeks and they block the walk way. This complex is horrible so when you see why it's rated so low please take your money elsewhere even if it's a little more costly because no one in management gives a crap about residents. All they want is their money. They also sent notice about people not being allowed to hang things on their balcony but I see residents that have drapes and lights hanging around their balcony. AIMCO doesn't know what the hell theyre doing and I cannot WAIT to leave this sh*t hole. Also that guy who responds to complaints saying he'll contact you... he never does I've never heard from him he's probably up in a corporate office.

I was a resident at Bent Tree for almost 6 years. The conditions there became increasingly worse over time. One of my biggest concerns was the handling of community trash collection. As large trash dumpsters and a huge compactor were near the front of my building I was forced to see (and smell) this mess every day. I did not want guests to visit because of how embarrassing it was. I'm sure it is a very unhealthy situation as well. The conditions of the common areas was a problem also. Whereas other apartment complexes have cleaning crews that walk the grounds regularly, keeping the grounds clean, this complex absolutely did not. I could go on, but you get the gist of it. I would not recommend this complex to anyone.

Outside the apartment- looking very ratty. We are embarrassed to invite people over.

See all

Move In: - The virtual tour was completely accurate to the apartment I received - Easy process to pick up keys and do a virtual check in with maintenance to learn about all the features of the apartment - Parking the trailer to unload my belongings was easy and had no issues Living there for 2 Years: - Clean, updated apartment, spacious balcony, bonus storage unit off balcony, nice appliances, loved the fireplace feature in my unit - Greatly appreciated the amenities like trash valet, updated fitness facilities, 2 pools, grills for cooking, package lockers, plenty of parking, etc. - All staff from maintenance to the office team were always friendly and helpful - Quiet neighborhood, never felt unsafe, and really loved going for walks around the property as it is beautifully maintained - I don't own a pet but it is a very pet friendly complex, there is a dog park - Located within walking distance to Giant & Starbucks in the Centrewood Plaza and Centre Ridge Marketplace, near a bus stop, easy access to I 66, etc. - Lakeside frequently went above and beyond to host various events from gardening, to kids crafts to happy hours to food trucks The Neutral: - Rent increases--sadly that is just the reality of living in the area, their prices are comparable to others in the area as I did a lot of research before choosing them Move Out: - So sad to have to leave, only leaving due to need another location otherwise I would have continued my time at Lakeside. I am staying in the Bozzuto management family as my experience has been so great - Turning in keys was a smooth process - Have not yet received my security deposit (which they do state takes a few weeks) so I will update how that process goes

The Emerson - Unsecured parking garage

I usually prefer to wait until lease renewal or expiry time to review an apartment building because…read moreby then I would have had enough experience of living in a building to be able to give a qualified opinion. But in the case of Emerson, I am making an exception primarily because how much of an improvement it is over the last community we lived in. Both were advertised as luxury apartments, and both looked the part. But whereas our apartment in Station on Silver started falling apart within a few month of moving in, with cracks appearing on walls and the floors so flimsy that just the act of waking would make the cabinets tremble, the sturdy and reliable feel of our apartment at Emerson is a welcome change. The second biggest difference is the staff. While the entire leasing team at station on silver had only one lady who was actually praiseworthy and attentive to tenants while the rest always seemed a little vexed and having to do their jobs, the entire team at Emerson is just phenomenal! I have never experienced such honest leasing agents who were so forthcoming about the status of their apartments. Noise from neighbors had been an issue everywhere we lived and when asked, two separate leasing agents at the emerson made no effort to lie like others and claim that noise would not be an issue. They both told me the honest truth that this is an unavoidable issue in such complexes and they've done their best to insulate each apartment but some noise is to be expected. This honesty won me over and in my experience here so far, I've noticed that the noise problem is actually a lot less of an issue here than previous apartments. Beyond being honest, the team is also extremely helpful, attentive, considerate and proactive. Not to mention friendly and really welcoming anytime you visit them. They are the single biggest reason to move here in comparison to other places, and if you have lived in apartments long enough, you will understand how important a reliable and trustworthy management is. The amenities and apartment features are par for the course for modern luxury apartments with a fantastic gym, plethora of meeting areas, pool, Grills, rooftop, SS appliances, gorgeous wood flooring and cabinetry, soft carpeting and great aesthetics over all. Add to that the breathtaking view of the lake from the apartments along the back of the building and you have a recipe for a great life experience here. It's not devoid of cons however. But luckily, all the cons are so minor that they cant really take anything away from the overall Emerson experience, which is why i still gave them 5*. First of all, the building is a bit of behemoth and navigating it can be confusing and cumbersome to the point where we actually find it easier to drive to the mail room than to walk to it. Secondly, parking is not free and reserved parking is quite expensive. Thirdly, guest access is very archaic compared to modern solutions like butterfly MX being used elsewhere. This perhaps makes the building more secure but at the expense of convenience for tenants and guests alike. Finally, and this pertains to the floorplan we chose so may not be an issue on other floor plans, but the utilization of space isn't as well thought out as it could have been. This leads to some frustration when cooking as the kitchen is needlessly cramped with plenty of unused space around that can't really be utilized any other way. The laundry nook is a great little space which could have been so much more useful if the shelves inside had been placed within actual reach. Loads of closet space is again hampered by nice looking but impractical shelving. However, we have a lovely view of the lake, and even the blue ridge mountains on a clear day, so we find it easy to overlook this little niggles. All in all, you will be hard pressed to find a better place to live in at this price point in NOVA. With easy access to all major roadways and walking distance to loads of shops and restaurants, there really is no reason to not love living here.

Sometimes I feel like this place operates more like a college dorm for 22-year-olds than a…read moresupposedly upscale apartment complex. My car was recently vandalized in the parking garage, TWICE in one week. The garage door was wide open, allowing essentially anyone to walk in, and there was no usable surveillance footage of what happened because there are hardly any cameras. The cameras they do have are these sad little webcam-looking things stuck in one corner of each parking level that barely cover anything. They pride themselves on being a "smoke-free community," but in my experience, complaints were not taken seriously. It wasn't until I recorded a neighbor physically threatening me that meaningful action was taken. The priorities here are honestly bizarre. Apparently there's room in the budget for taco trucks and a dog spa--because, naturally, what an apartment complex really needs is a luxury wellness facility for dogs--but basic security and adequate surveillance? Not so much.
