I have lived here several years, long enough to note the negative changes that have occurred here…read more as for me, I realize that things break down and need to be fixed from time to time. With this said, whenever I call for a maintenance repair, the wait is longer and longer. I realize they are short of staff but having water damage coming through your walls is serious and should be treated as such. Also, there were loose appliances for years that I kept reporting. they were causing structural damage as well as water damage. I was told they would paint my space several years ago but have not. there are cracks all over the tiles but I was told they couldn't do anything because it was just an older property . They are in kitchen and bathrooms and look so embarrassing! They put in hard wood flooring but the men who put it in did not seal off the ends, leaving boards loose and unattached in areas. I have holes on the upper walls and lower walls in several spots of apartment. one maintenance worker said it could be the wiring of the unit near me. I did research and found that besides insects, other bugs that Rodents can live in there! Terrified of critters, especially Mice and I will likely pass out if I see a rat! I have had mold, also black mold. My daughter, who has a serious respiratory issue, went to stay with my Mom for awhile out of concern for health. They were using very antiquated fans that were filthy to dry and water patch holes. It Seemed to work until it didn't. I used to keep track of all orders I needed but I know they are short staffed( because they tell me) they have done some nice maintenance jobs for me but as a renter, it has to be up to code to be eligible for public housing. the parking, or lack there of is a sore subject for the residents. could a renter's meeting be an option? Everyone's opinions are valid and need to be heard. Plus, it could establish positive change. Could we bring back a Fall yard sale? This is something that happened under different leadership and brought the community together. There are little things the admins and residents can do collectively to try to make this a place a positive, friendly one that people Want to live. currently, I cannot advocate for parc Reston though that could change. If you are considering this place, opt for 2-3 floor. First floor gets a lot of bugs and spiders.

As for parking: As long as guests are logged in for parking and we have our parking decals, there has never been an issue. From my understanding, parking used to be quite an issue before towing was enforced - resident's parking spots were taken by people coming from the Town Center. Having to have a decal on your car for parking is the exact same policy I've encountered at other condos that I have lived in. As for the positive aspects: The location is great - literally a three minute walk to Whole Foods and five to the Town Center. The site is well maintained, the flowers are beautiful, and the area is kept clean. I have always felt safe here and often go walking with my small children. The area is quiet and I have never heard of anyone having any problems with pests. We have found the administration to be helpful - for example, we have needed paint for our door twice which they have supplied. They've also been responsive when we have needed new decals for our car or questions about the pool. All at all living here has been a very positive experience for us.

Terrible neighbors. This building sits among three different townhome communities, and management…read morehas zero regard for the time of day it schedules maintenance activities. Fairfax County allows for trash pick up starting at 6 AM...but when the dumpsters are positioned such that the garbage truck has to back into the drive, and the driver clearly needs training in backing up, the warning alarm on the truck beeps incessantly until the truck is finally in the right position. But this was only after they were picking up at 4 AM and we complained about it. Now we can't do anything because they're technically not violating county ordinance, but is a 6 AM pick up twice a week really necessary? I don't understand how none of the residents in the actual building can actually tolerate this. Then today, at 5:30 AM, someone was clearing the drive to their parking garage with a gas-powered snow-blower. Really? You can't do this with a shovel or wait at least an hour? We're talking about maybe 30sq ft of drive. The federal government is closed, schools are closed, and the street to the garage driveway is completely iced over. Did I mention the street is also on an incline? Unless someone in that garage has 4-wheel drive, they're not going anywhere anyway. My husband went outside to ask the guy to shut off the blower and he shouted at my husband to call the police. We did. Again, not in violation of FFX Co noise ordinance because snow equipment is apparently exempt. But for pity's sake, how about we just not be jerks and respect our neighbors?

I am reporting a couple years subsequent to the harmful, painful injury to my left great toe that…read moreoccurred when an unsecured, wobbly bollard adjacent to Midtown North fell onto my foot. The board members at Midtown and their lawyer denied any responsibility, challenged me to produce evidence that the bollard fell onto my foot and broke two bones in my great toe. They ignored my request that they investigate the possibility that the injury was recorded on a camera on the exterior of the adjacent building, and they rejected my description of the bollard falling on my foot. They did not use the noun "liar" to describe me, but they used every possible means to suggest that I was a liar. They made no effort to suggest a way in which my toe had been injured because there was no believable, logical way that my toe would have been crushed as I walked my dog along the street where the old, unstable bollards lined the entrance to the mews. Nota Bene: Immediately after the bollard fell on my toe, the number of bollards was reduced by one. The Midtown authorities apparently removed a bollard, perhaps the bollard that crushed my toe. Soon after my injury and the denials of the Midtown management and its lawyer, the falling-over bollards were replaced with new bollards. Could that be a coincidence?! Or could it be obvious evidence that there was a need to replace the former, old, unsecured bollards to prevent subsequent injuries to pedestrians and pets who could be injured by the toppling of another bollard like the one that crushed my toe and broke two bones. Subsequent to the healing of the two bones in my great toe, another condition became a painful problem. The weight of the bollard crushed my toe nail deeper into my toe and caused the permanenneed to trim the nail, left and right, that became imbedded in my toe and causing pain until being cut. Ingrown nail? No. Imbedded nail. Clearly caused by the Midtown bollard that fell onto my left foot and crushed my left great toe, breaking two bones and pushing the nail into the body of my toe. The positive news is that moved away from The Cosmopolitan, The Midtown, and Reston as soon as I was able. I feared that living there was not judicious for anyone, particularly for old people. My experience caused me pain and suffering that could only be assuaged by escaping the location of its occurrence and the people who denied me of the help for the injury that they caused and emphatically denied.

Ugghh.. The Negatives…read more We have had a hole in our wall for two months. There is a leak and engineering can't find it and they get busy and forget to deal with it. It is still there. They are in no hurry to fix it and so we have a bowl in the middle of the hallway collecting water. As far as cold showers - true - the East Tower has to have its water shut down at least once a month for a full day due to maintenance. This means in the summer - no air conditioning - a building with all windows and no air conditioning is intolerable. During these times it is necessary to fill a bath with water so you can flush the toilets. Construction has been ongoing and so the balconies were unusable for 8 months. The construction was incredibly loud and would go from morning to night - it was not possible to do a call while they removed the facade. It was not the fault of the construction crew but during construction there was very little privacy. Looking down at the pool during winter months you can see a fair amount of construction material and a Johnny on the spot... The management staff is obnoxious and unable to provide customer service. They are unable to deal with the upsets of tenants and prefer to cower in the offices and instruct front desk to tell them they are not available. I have sent plenty of emails complaining about the water leak and their response is they have not received anything. They chastise the tenants when they don't understand how to log in to their portal - there are a lot of older tenants in the building and the system is complex for them. The Positives The Front Desk staff tries very hard. There are some very nice people struggling to do a great job despite management. Kudos to them. There has been rapid turnover however they try their best. There are some fantastic people living in Midtown. There is a friendly community spirit among residents. Bottom line is this is not a luxury residence. It is close to great restaurants and goods and services and has a fantastic view. Anytime I am living in a place where I need to fill a bathtub with water to flush my toilets and have a bowl in the middle of the hallway for two months to collect what I hope is clean water does not say "luxury" to me.
