Hello, Potential Neighbors! Firstly, I will say that for what one pays to live here, it will be…read moredifficult to find another apartment in Prince William County, let alone Northern Virginia, for the price and amenities. I am a native of this area, and have lived almost everywhere in this county, and for this price anywhere else, you will have the opposite of all of the pros I have listed below.
My family has been living here since 2016 on the ground floor, and here is a summary:
Pros:
A) Rent is $792 as of this posting, and that includes water, trash collection, and sewage, which the only utilities you pay are electricity, cable, and internet.
B) No roaches, ants, mice. Management provides treatment every few weeks as a preventative measure.
C) Very few incidents that make the community look bad (violence, gangs, property damage, extreme police activity)
D) Quick repairs when items/appliances are broken.
E) A bus stop is located in front of the community that arrives/departs about every 30 minutes except Sundays, where there is no service.
F) A reasonably priced convenience store called PJ's Market is within a 3 minute walk of the community.
G) 3 parking lots w/ guest parking spaces available
H)Laundry Facilities on site
Cons:
A)Young/older men will stand around outside occasionally on the evenings/weekends playing loud music/smoking/drinking which can be intimidating/unappealing to a young woman/women walking.
B )Occasional police activity (2-3x a month) to arrest someone or investigate a complaint
C) 3-5x a year, there will be people arguing loudly outside, typically couples or former friends
D)No elevators
E)Sometimes, guests will not park in designated parking, which will ensure that residents will have to walk further to their apartment
F) Floors are thin, which means little feet running upstairs sound more like elephant feet stomping ferociously.
G)Other residents will sometimes get sloppy when bringing their trash to the dumpster, and will leave large trash bags/discarded food outside of the receptacle, which looks unappealing, and allows animals to rummage, and create a bigger mess.
H)The location of the apartment is not in a convenient, central location. It can feel a bit isolated compared to an apartment on a more travelled road. Also, the scenery is not much to look at unless one likes woods or parking lots.
However, overall, from the day that my family arrived here, I felt that this community was the PERFECT example of a stepping stone. The goal when living here should be to live comfortably, save money, and eventually move on to something bigger and better!
According to the website, https://www.apartmentguide.com/apartments/Virginia/Triangle/Quantico-Court/12241/ , each apartment measures at about 588 square feet (one bedroom, one bathroom), which will feel very small when more than 2 people are sharing a space, but again, I feel that a family should not be making Quantico Court a forever home, because there is only one bedroom, one bathroom, and limited space, but again, that is just my opinion.
