I spent 2 good years at West Broad & although I had some challenges, I still had an overall…read morepositive experience and would for sure recommend it to other people. The good: Clean, AMAZING staff (shout out to: Giang, Mueed, Girma, & Liseth. Honestly just everyone was so kind and helpful), location!!, insulation ?? (Idk I kept my thermostat off and my apartment was fine thru all seasons!) Not so good: hallway noise (barely ever heard my upstairs neighbors or those to the l/r of me but I definitely heard noise from hallway - got a foam insert for the door and it significantly reduced it), price - I think we paid more for location than for apartment features (we didn't get the what now seems to be the standard key fob access until a couple months ago) To speak on other reviews: I didn't get a gift card for this, and I had guests stay multiple nights and they never paid for parking (not thru West Broad, but there's literally street parking that's free behind the building). Bozzuto left such a good impression that I looked for only Bozzuto managed communities for my next place (really only moved bc falls church felt a little sleepy to me).

I was the first resident when this beautiful building opened back in early 2016. I watched the…read morepopulation in the building grow over time, and made lots of friends there. I also experienced quite a few personnel changes, from the office staff to concierges to maintenance, never having a problem. My retirement and purchase of a house saw me leaving the building, as well as Falls Church, in May 2023. Just this past week, I called the office to inquire about the availability of their guest suite June 21-23, 2024, for an upcoming reunion weekend in Falls Church with events in several locations. Being able to stay in the guest suite would have made walking to these events possible. I was told the suite was indeed available for those dates, and since it has to be rented by a resident, I contacted one of my friends in the building. She went online to fill out the paperwork but had a problem at the end as it would not submit. So she went down to the office to complete the paperwork and give them payment for it, which is required at the time of application to secure the reservation. Imagine her surprise, as well as mine, when she was told that the guest suite is "on hold" for those dates; no payment yet however. Excuse me? I was told by the office that it is available for those dates - why would I have asked my friend to go rent it for me otherwise? She stressed that to the office staff, both of which denied telling me that, and told them she was ready to pay for it immediately. They declined the paperwork and the payment, insisting it's on hold, and said they'd let her know in a few weeks if it becomes available. That is totally unacceptable to me, and not the way to treat long time current and former residents. Recently, there has been a complete turnover of office personnel, and I've heard from quite a few current residents, saying their interactions with the new management has not been pleasant and they'd rather not even deal with them. This is definitely NOT the way previous management dealt with residents. I am not pleased with the outcome, and won't inquire about staying there ever again, after having been lied to and then essentially being called a liar myself.

Unacceptable Living Conditions - Severe Insect Infestation and Irresponsible Management…read more I strongly advise anyone considering moving into this apartment complex to think twice. My apartment has been infested with hundreds of flies, creating disgusting and unacceptable living conditions. I have repeatedly brought this issue to the attention of the management office, yet they have refused to take meaningful action to resolve the problem. After reporting the infestation, management temporarily relocated me to a guest room. However, just two days later, they demanded that I leave the guest room and return to my apartment, despite knowing that it was still full of flies and that the infestation had not been resolved. How can a property management company knowingly send a resident back into an insect-infested apartment instead of addressing the problem? I pay rent expecting a clean, safe, and habitable living environment, not to be forced to live among hundreds of insects while management ignores my concerns. I have documented the infestation through photographs and videos, along with my attempts to get management to address the situation. The most disturbing part is not just the infestation itself, but the complete lack of responsibility, professionalism, and concern shown by management. My recommendation: Stay away from this property. No resident should have to fight management for something as basic as a clean and habitable apartment.

Lived here for about a year and I have more things I love than hate about the place…read more First off the amenities highlights! Dog park, grills, gym, pool, pool table in an amazing community center, car washing station, package room, Amazon hub, and free ample parking for residents and guests(Until midnight without pass, and then XXX amount of time with pass). I love the community here! The staff is so welcoming and helpful. There is even a Facebook group where everyone gives away/sell items and communicate tips/concerns. The community does cool things like in the summer they had food trucks come out every Saturday/sunday! I'm sure they would have done a lot more things this year, but sadly because of covid there are restrictions. My review of a one bedroom one bathroom apartment: Pros: -Granite tabletops and stainless steel appliances! -Washer and Dryer in unit -Nice layout (I have the 803 ft layout) -Lots of storage spaces! -Awesome amenities I mentioned above -Management keeps up with routine cleaning and maintenance Cons: -If you end up having the layout where you share a balcony with someone, it can be kind of a nuisance. If your neighbor has junk all over their balcony, you can't really hide it from your guests. There is no privacy and is often a little awkward because from their own bedroom they can look right at you from the window. -Sound. My biggest con about this place is the sound. If you've read the other reviews you will see this complaint too. I could hear a baby crying from a level below me. I could hear my neighbors conversations as though I am in their room. There is no privacy at all. -If you plan to live on the third floor, obviously grocery trips and moving furniture is no fun when you live on the third floor with no elevators.

To piggy back from my review, not much has improved. Parking on the right side of the community is…read morethe same. You can barely find parking close to your building. I've notice non-residents are continuing to use the shuttle and dog park. The construction is poor quality for such a high price rent. I can hear my neighbors partying, arguing, talking, TV, alarm, etc. The dogs barking is normal in my building. The first 2 years, everyone was a dog owner. Even the previous office employees (not the recent ones, they're VERY new to the community) knew the residents in the building! Adrian was by far the most helpful and transparent. He knew his stuff and took measures to assist when he wasn't slammed with requests. I understand Avalon is a business and is competing with other real estates. I get it but be reasonable. Even their AHC is a joke and limited to the public. (Sorry Avalon but I know a few people who works for ya) Yep, I've lived here for 3 years and I decided to not renew. The only good thing I use to enjoy was dog friendly community. First 2 years, dog owners knew the rules and were respectful to other dog owners. Third year, I notice a lot of new folks not following the rules. I've seen huge dogs without leashes especially the dogs that lives into the corner townhouse. They tend to let the dog run free to poop and pee all over the courtyard. Yep, rethink about the activities the office holds there. Why are we paying amenities again when others are using the community amenities for free??? Think about that one. Of course the office is still oblivious about it. I'll miss the memories I've established here with my little family. I'm disappointed with service and quality with this community. I hope eventually they'll rethink some things. To bad my home town is a victim of gentrification. Please note, this community is not falls Church city. It is Falls Church, Fairfax County. Don't get it twisted by the ads. Sheesh!

After spending 2 years in national harbor, it was time for a change, after checking out a few…read moreplaces I was fortunate to find such a great place in such a short time!!!!! I remember starting the application process and being immediately contacted by the leasing manager Veronica, who helped me through the whole process, friendly and knowledgeable, it was probably the easiest move I've ever made!!!!!! Also she helped me move up my move in date on short notice to help me around my work sked, that resulted in her staying later then he she had to, and she was so happy to do it!!!! Also wanted to point out, when I found the apartment that was to my liking the manager Kristen actually said it was cheaper then the listing price, and was able to process my app at an even cheaper rate, and she gave me all the options how to set up payments and everything else!!! So with that said, the managers of this property are A+!!! As for living here now for 3 months, it's hard to find a better location, there's no noise, the residents here are all extremely nice, the amenities and gym were spotless, they are now closed unfortunately but they are always sending out emails to see what they can do better, parking is extremely easy, and not hard to find a spot in the least. This is all A+, can't ask for anything better So from my traveling bowling league before I moved here I was a little familiar with the areas great food options, but I really had no idea how good it really was 5-10 minute drive from garage you have the following, Harris teeter Whole Foods Trader Joe's Giant (3 of them) Safeway Great restaurants, takeout now, will have dine in soon enough, again these are a 5-10 minute drive, but well within walking distance, will even rate them Vinh Kee 7.5/10 Full Kee 7.5/10 Peking gourmet 9/10 Present 10/10 Marks duck 8/10 Dogwood Tavern 8.5/10 (great bar) Dogfish head ale house 6/10 Four provinces Irish pub (didn't make it there) - Jimmy Johns, subways and jersey mikes on rt 7 - Eden center with all the Vietnamese stores and restaurants - lazy mikes ice cream 10/10‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ - I think about 4 CVSs, a Walgreens that I've seen, 2 within a 10 minute walk - 3VABC liquor stores, a bunch of wine stores, and downstairs from apartment you have casual pint, with tons of beer and food selection - Eddie Vs, fogo de chao, Chima, Fleming's about a 10-15 minute drive if your into steakhouse dining If your into fitness, the walking routes here are amazing, plenty of trails, and safe sidewalks, great bike trails as well All in all I couldn't be happier living here in the 3 months I've lived here, and that's with covid 19 really altering the way we all live our lives I strongly suggest considering this place to be your next place to live, I think you'll be happy

I moved in during the pandemic and so far I enjoy living here at the Loren! The apartment has…read moremodern features, updated washers + dryers, pet friendly, and also attentive and friendly staff who provide regular community updates and events. The maintenance staff is also generally responsive and once came to my house 15 mins after I sent my service request. Everything is always kept spotless and tidy which I like. The lobbies + common rooms are gorgeously decorated. There is a small gym and sunbathing lounge w/ cool off pool during summer. It is a small apartment community and feels like living in a hotel when walking down the halls. For the price we really are satisfied with our choice. Some places where I see room for improvement to a 5 star property is resumed regular shuttle service to the metro. The apartment is over a mile away from east falls church via walking and so it is NOT convenient to get to without a car FYI. Another reason I didn't give 5 stars is because we have had multiple power outages in the short time I have been here so far. Once we lost power for 5 hrs! It seems prone to blackouts in summer months, so I really think we should have a backup generator to prepare for the summer months.

We've been here almost 3 years, and I'm happy to call Northgate at Falls Church home. The past…read moreyear has been so challenging on many levels, but not here! The entire staff keeps things moving and safe - from our amazing concierge team, to the front office, and our non-stop maintenance team. For those of us now working from home full time, it's been seamless. Plus - they've done everything to inject a little fun for everyone -- whether it's pizza night or a gingerbread decorating contest. Our location in the Little City couldn't be better: steps away (just downstairs!) from Cafe Kindred, our favorite cafe, and Yogi Underground (still running classes online). It's a short walk to Metro, great restaurants, grocery, walking/biking trails, and One More Page books.

Absolutely atrocious management company. This place is wildly overpriced for what you actually get…read more The building is poorly managed, the staff is consistently rude and unhelpful, and the amenities are bare minimum at best. The building also has constant elevator issues. The most recent breakdown was so severe that the elevator was condemned by the city and remained out of service for nearly three months. For a building charging luxury-level rent, this level of neglect is completely unacceptable. The biggest issue is the rent increases. They lure you in with a reasonable first-year rate, then hit you with a grotesque increase at renewal under the excuse of "fair market value evaluation." They refuse to negotiate or work with long-term tenants in any meaningful way. It is no surprise there has been a mass exodus of residents recently because of how poorly this property is managed and how tenants are treated. Between the poor management, lack of value, ongoing maintenance problems, and predatory lease renewals, living here has been an awful experience. Do not move here under any circumstances.

Property manager Barb does an incredible job caring for residents. My move-in and move-out went super easy, and I truly appreciate the overall experience with Lee Square and SR Management company. Lee Square is an unbeatable combination of price, location, and management, and I highly recommend you to choose this place as your home.

The kitchen counters are only laminates, but they have a full sized gas stove/oven, fridge, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and breakfast bar. The bathroom is pretty basic but it does have a tub and recent vanity/fixtures. The rest of the rooms are spacious with carpeted floors. Parking is good, but make sure that your guests have their parking pass displayed by midnight or they will get towed. The pool is well maintained and the balconies are pretty large. There is no weight room, but there is a gym across the street or the Planet Fitness at the Eden Center (by Seven Corners) It's an easy walk to anything in Falls Church, although there is only so much in Falls Church. Make sure you are comfortable with that because taking the metro into Arlington/DC will cost you about an hour in transit each way. The biggest draw back is that the walls / floors / ceilings are pretty thin. I could hear my upstairs neighbor's cat when it would run from one side of the apartment to the other. If you are trying to keep your housing costs down with out sacrificing quality, this is a great option.

I bought a tear down property in May of 2019 with Zimmermann Homes which was completed in July of…read more2020. I can't say enough good things about Rob and his team. I was not living in the DMV area when we started the project so they did a great job of communicating remotely during the design process. His architect, Darren and interior design team, Christina Simon, took samples of things we liked and found ways to integrate them into the house. The property has so many cool features from finishes, to a basement apartment, gym, and a roof deck. It's a 4,400 sq foot house but feels like it's 6k. Rob, Jim, and team are very particular about how things are done. If something doesn't look right, they are going to have it corrected properly and they did. From building for energy efficient, print labeling everything ( low voltage, electrical, was, gas), to managing the draw schedule, they really focus on the little things during what is a very stressful experience. After moving in, they ensured punch list items were attended to. Unfortunately, we had to relocate for work after a year but the focus on details and quality allowed us to get top dollar for our property. Having now bought another newly built home only further highlights the unique focus on service and quality building of Zimmermann homes. Wish I could have had him build my house out west.

I am a huge fan of working with Zimmermann Homes for a custom build home, proven by my recent…read moreexperience building a new house with them in North Arlington. It's the second house I have built with Rob and his team in the last 4 years and this experience was even better than my first one in 2018. Zimmermann Homes continues to improve its operations continuously, whereby the customer remains first and foremost. Building together over the past 12-18 months had several challenges, primarily supply chain issues, most of which were entirely out of our control. However, Rob and his team worked even harder to source substitutes that were just as good or as timely as the initial selections we made for the design of the house. As someone who visits dozens of newly constructed homes annually, I am very aware of the quality and pricing of the competition facing Zimmermann Homes, so when I say that you can't beat the "bang for the buck", I'm confident that it's true. The quality of the architectural structure, design, construction, and home efficiency are truly unmatched at the price point offered by Zimmermann Homes. More than anything, Rob and his team are really good to work with. It's expected that things will go awry at some point in building a custom home, whether it's a schedule delay, design issue, permit snag, or selection that is out of stock. Recognizing this, Zimmermann Homes is creative dealing with such issues and they do whatever is necessary to minimize disruption and stress for the home-owner. Rob has built an incredible business for home construction in the Northern VA area and I can't think of a better company to work with when building a home. He has put together a team of experts that seamlessly work together so that issues are resolved quickly and most of the time it is done behind the scenes, making the customer's experience much better. I would be remiss if I didn't give shout-outs to the members of Rob's team. Darren is amazing at helping you design a home that works for your individual needs, while being very aesthetically pleasing to the eye, both inside and out. Christina and her team are the best in the business when it comes to the color schemes and styles, making your budget go as far as possible with the selections for appliances, tile, cabinets, countertops, and lighting. Finally, Jim J. is a savant when it comes to managing the overall project and making sure that the customer gets exactly what he/she wants, at the highest level of quality throughout. His attention to detail will always amaze me and any other customer he has ever had. I couldn't be happier with the final product. Friends, family, and neighbors that visit are amazed at how well it came out, especially during a worldwide pandemic. I could not endorse Zimmermann Homes more highly. They are the best at what they do. When I build my next house, there is no doubt that I will ask Rob and his team to work with me again! - The Scardino Family (again), Arlington, VA

I used to love living in this apartment, but it has gone downhill over the past few years for a…read morenumber of reasons: 1. Management, while friendly, increasingly stingy. They're used to be once-a-month happy hours with free food and drinks, wonderful holiday party, and resident appreciation events a couple times a month with free popcorn, bagels, etc. That's all since been removed. Management also takes forever to respond to emails sometimes ignoring emails entirely when they used to respond within 24 hrs. 2. The worst aspect is that management doesn't enforce anything. They send out weak emails about picking up your dog poop otherwise you're fined, but never actually fine anyone. They tell people to stop hogging the EV chargers but residents end up parking their car there sometimes for days because there's no idea charge. The list goes on. 3. The quality of residents here are awful. There's dog poop all over the upstairs dog park every day (see attached). when poop bags are provided right there. Residents leave trash bags next to the trash chute when it takes 0.1 seconds to push it down the chute. Kids run around the hallways kicking doors. The gym is missing dumbbells because some resident(s) take them back to their unit. Equipment in the gym doesn't get put back in its place. 4. The nickel and diming each month is shocking. In addition to rent, get this - there's a utility service fee, sewer fee, pest control fee, trash fee, parking fee, parcel locker fee (that's a mandatory fee to get packages delivered), and a resident liability program fee.
