While I found some very minor issues when I first moved in, the staff responded to my online request the next day and fixed all of the problems I had mentioned. Otherwise, I have absolutely loved living in such a high quality and well-run building. Cleaning teams and other maintenance staff are around the building on a daily basis to clean and fix any small issues, so the building always looks new and spotless :) The staff: Almost every person on the City Market team that I have dealt with (Giannina, Tammy, Nikki, Tony, Lonnie, Marian and more) are all amazing. They have gone above and beyond to help me through my move-in process, and now in my every day life at City Market. All in all, their service has been fast, on-point, and friendly! Amenities: Great, light-filled gym; beautiful rooftop common areas for me to entertain friends and family; dog park area and weekly dog grooming services (outside service, so this is not included in the rent) for my pup; great weekly events (including Yappy Hour, farm to table dinner, Christmas tree lighting, and more); and Giant basically in the building (MAJOR plus after a long day). Overall, after 4 months I couldn't be happier living in City Market.

They have tons of really unique resident events- tons of space to do work, study, have an event- this building truly has it all. And it's GORGEOUS!! Unfortunately I moved to a city that doesn't have related realty, but I would 100% rent with them again. Thank you OHS for an amazing year.

I am NOT a tenant, just a visitor, so keep that in mind as you read this review. The 4-star rating…read moreis purely based off of their common area on the second floor as I went here for a friend's baby shower. One Hill South is a new luxury apartment building in Navy Yard right across the street from Slipstream and Bonchon. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the friendly front desk person. He'll guide you up the winding staircase to the second floor. This is where you'll find the community room for parties. It's gorgeous! It's simple yet elegant, perfect for Instagram photos. It's very clean and there's a giant pool table to enjoy as well. If you get invited to an event here, GO!

Still excellent (as of Jan 2021) - I've lived in 4 different apartments here and all of them were…read moreas I described in the original review - fantastic design (not just aesthetic, functional), well thought-out, and well-kept down to the last detail. After having used Fetch for over a month (package delivery directly to the apt), I consider it a pro rather than a con. COVID is being handled reasonably well, though some apartments friends are in are doing better (dividers in front of the concierge, strict controls on public spaces, etc). Current management team and maintenance have been great to deal with even with larger or thornier issues like the garage flood of '18(if you see the post below about the first floor of the garage flooding during rains, it happened exactly once. Bit spooky when it did, but I'm told that the drains have been upgraded and it shouldn't be possible in the future) or a neighbor playing bass at 4AM repeatedly. Both were resolved rapidly and I was given not only a resolution, but also an explanation of the plans to prevent them in the future. There has been significant turnover since COVID, but my interactions have still been positive. Greystar hasn't cut back on the benefits and has instead kept up the steady stream of interesting resident events and added Alfred (essentially a concierge service which has done various things ranging from the free weekly tidy-up to picking up prescriptions to having shoes taken care of and even one-off errands such as contracting with a local seamstress to replace the flax in a heating pad with jasmine rice - all at low cost, subsidized by the rent I assume but given that I haven't seen a noticeable increase I'm not complaining) which I was highly skeptical of the value of at first but now am quite a fan. Issues I've seen (or seen in other reviews) are the following: Fire alarms - these were truly dreadful the first few months I was here, but now we're down to once every few months which is pretty par for the course in my book. They happen when somebody opens their door into the hall with smoke and are usually resolved within 5 minutes thanks to ACPD's speedy responses. Elevators being out - while we did have one elevator out for months in 2017 because they didn't think to build an awning over its' opening on the roof and I do see the occasional single-elevator outage, I can only really remember being aggravated by the latter once, and I'm picky. Trash chute not working as a door is propped open or the sensor thinks so - I've noticed this around once a month and I generate a lot of trash. The general response seems to be to either take the elevator to the first floor and put it in the bin, call the concierge and ask them to fix it - which they do promptly, or just leave the trash bag in the trash room/recycling bin. You'd think that the last would be a recipe for a stinky trash room, but thanks to the fantastic cleaning team, it stays spotless and smells amazing for a trash room. This is worth noting because that is very much not a given at other apartment complexes - the common areas, halls, etc are all kept very clean and they even shampoo the carpets from time to time. Hot water being out - as of 2020 this is now a very rare issue, thankfully. Never noticed a broken garage door. They tend to resolve issues very fast, so it was probably fixed before I got to it. I've yet to live on the 12th floor, so I can't comment on the various complaints about 12th floor leaks. In my experience, you can hear the apartment above you (not walking, the floors dampen that somehow - even with heels, but stuff like slamming doors, drilling, flushing the toilet etc), though less well than in most apartments, including the other luxury apartments around here (barring those with concrete between floors like Central Place which has its' own issues) but you can't hear your neighbors unless they're quite loud. Seems that the doors aren't 100% soundproof, but the walls are pretty good and I've yet to find better. Overall from my experience, discussions with friends, and research on the competition, while I wish that these issues didn't exist, there's no such thing as a perfect apartment complex and none of them is a big deal in large part thanks to the management, maintenance, and cleaning crew who keep this place in good shape. All of what I said in my original review about the awesome concierges, well-built building, smart apartment design and quiet are still true which is definitely not a given, especially the last. I've looked into the competition in Arlington multiple times as where you live is an important decision and it's important not to get complacent, but as of now the pros and cons are the same as when I first moved in. If you want somewhere high-quality and quiet yet extremely metro-accessible in Arlington, you can't beat Latitude. The main con is that it's not cheap - whether it's worth it is up to you.

I have lived in Latitude for 2 years now and the service has been up and down…read more Con : - Way too many false fire alarms. - Poor elevator repair time. - New Fetch service that residents have to pay for. I do not like the Idea of a third party package service and feel I should be able to receive packages at my home. I certainly don't want a slower package service I have to pay for. - Community rules not enforced by management - see other reviews about rooftop, noise and smoking. Pro: -Maintenance staff is good and friendly. -Concierges are generally friendly, but fixing package issues with a pay third party option doesn't help. -Good location

The Hudson is in a great, great, great location. It's a pleasant 4 block walk to the Dupont metro…read more(trees, clean streets), and located on one of the most convenient streets in DC (in my opinion). Seriously, it's next to Whole Foods, CVS, Starbucks, drycleaning, a hardware store, a paint store, Wachovia, PNC, Halo, Mercado, and Logan Tavern. Like, I can walk to each of those within 15 seconds of the front door of The Hudson. However, due to all of those places surrounding the building, there's a lot of NOISE. So, if you want to live here, live on the top floors (the 6th or 7th floor). AND, live in the back of the building. If you live up there, your apartment will be silent with the occasional roof party. Otherwise, you will be waking up to delivery trucks every morning and going to sleep to the sounds of people screaming at the bars. The interior of The Hudson is nice, although there's no community feel to the place, so if you're looking to live somewhere to meet people, it might not be the best choice. (Dupont Flats has a great community feel throughout). The Hudon purposely has an industrial feel to it, so most (maybe all?) units have red cement flooring with the pipes and hardware showing on the walls and ceiling. However, the units are airy with big windows and lots of light, which is a huge plus. The kitchens are also beautiful with granite countertops and hanging lights. The managment is changing right now, but the security people are always super nice and will help you out with anything. Oh, and beware of the elevators - they open and close veeerrry slowly.

The other maintenance staff are very sweet and respectful as well. It's a nice perk that they serve breakfast (bagel sandwiches, pastries, fruit, coffee) every now and then. The only two downsides of the building are the thin doors (not soundproof at all) and the laundry machines-- they leave a lot of lint on my dark clothing that takes a while to rub off.

The elevator is relatively new and the neighbors here are friendly and vibrant. I'll be moving only to be in a larger space, but I've really enjoyed my time here and will miss the management here. Ignore the older reviews, ever since Bernstein Management took over a couple years ago they've done a very good job managing this property.

My wife and I lived at The Kingsley for three years, and recently moved a few blocks away, as we…read morepurchased a condo. I have to say, before renting here, it had been nearly 30 years since I last rented an apartment. I recall that it was considered sport to commiserate with other residents and lampoon ridiculous management policies and procedures. Not here. Everyone you'll encounter are total pros, and everyone works to make your experience at the Kingsley awesome. Communications from the Management office were, clear, lucid, and succinct. For large-scale work events in the building, like garage floor maintenance, communication was handled with deft and aplomb and informed residents of exactly what was going on when and what to expect. Charges against our security deposit on move-out were fair and reasonable. The good: The building itself is modern, beautiful, and meticulously maintained. The maintenance staff sees to it. The building is mostly occupied by professionals and never had an issue with late-night frat parties and carrying on. Everyone is generally respectful of living in a building with shared walls and ceilings/floors. But it is an apartment building with lots of other people, and you will hear some noises on occasion. The location is great too. There's a lot of new construction in North Old Town and I feel confident it will the place to be in Old Town over the next couple of years. The staff arrange lots of social events to meet your neighbors, and it was cool to meet and mingle. I met some very interesting folks there. It's Old Town, so in absolute numbers the rent seems high, but to be honest, I thought it represented good value for what you get in return. Your mileage may vary, depending on your perspective. Opportunities for improvement: One area to be aware of if you're a full-time bicycle commuter. Bicycle parking is tight, and losing a parking spot is common. This wouldn't be an issue with ample parking for bicycles. One bike cage is located right next to a parking spot, and if that spot is occupied, it can be difficult or impossible to get your bike in or out. That made that bike cage next to useless, in my opinion. I reached out to the Management office on more than one occasion to raise this issue, but never heard anything in return. This is a first-world problem, I suppose, but a more robust bike parking infrastructure would have helped quite a bit -- especially as this part of Alexandria is located near so much bicycling infrastructure and is a great place to be a full-time bike commuter. I give the Kingsley four stars, though, and can highly recommend it to anyone considering living here.

The View is only motivated by charging you as much as possible and sometimes providing you with the minimum legal standard of a habitable apartment. Don't expect more from this place. We were nickel and dimed on our security deposit and all our friends that moved had the same experience. They charged us more than we felt we owed, but strangely could not reach the staff at the view, and were ignored. They just want you to pay your bill and not argue here. For 8 months straight, our neighbors played music or the TV from 10PM till 2 AM on and off during the week and weekend. I had concierge go and warn them to stop like 8 times and filed numerous noise complaints, which I felt were not addressed properly as the issue persisted for as long as it did. Even the band that played during the day above us was quieter and more considerate than this guy. They did not care to fix this, because our neighbor was a paying resident like us and that hurts their bottom line. It doesn't matter if you break the rules here. For every problem we had here, it felt like they just want to you live with it. Just like the roaches that infested the building for a time, or when our AC was broken for a month and our apartment reached temps as high as 90 F. They couldn't believe the problem wasn't fixed. This is the experience you will get here, they just want the problem (you) to go away and pay your rent in peace. Literal garbage landed onto our balcony all throughout our stay from other residents tossing their trash from the roof or their balcony. I've seen report cards, boxes and dental floss thrown onto my balcony. It was disgusting. The resident events went downhill in quality and effort. The community is also not really here anymore. Everyone seems angry, and people drive like maniacs in the garage. The elevators are often broken down and in need of repair, often putting residents into a constraint of 1 elevator during our time here When we told the office we'd move out and afterwards made maintenance request, it took them three days to fix it. And they only did so after we went to the leasing office to address it. It was fixed twenty minutes after speaking to the leasing office We booked our loading dock slot and were told a week later that another person reserved it (by email, not via the reservation system). We were informed that it was a glitch, but it shouldn't take two weeks for a glitch in the system to be noticed. They prioritize at all costs, new residents. Once you've sent in your notice to move out, you become chopped liver. If you're thinking of the view, go somewhere cheaper. They raise rents 5% or more every year, and don't provide more value in return. Not to mention the apartment industry in DC is full of price collusion. Go across the street, live somewhere else. You can have a View anywhere.

It is in walking distance to everything - metro, mall, food, hair salons, gyms, Harris Teeter, a mile from Clarendon, etc. All of the apartments are brand new, with stainless steel applicanes, white quartz countertops, hardwood floors, and huge windows. My apartment is very spacious and has a great view. The maintanence guys/staff at the building are awesome. There is someone at the concierge/front desk 24/7 which makes it an extremely safe and secure building. The concierge will call you directly anytime you have a visitor. The leasing staff was wonderful throughout the entire process. Dani, Derek, and Stacey were all extremetly helpful. Not only did they allow me to push out my move in date to one that worked best for me, but they stayed in contact with me throughout my move in and after to ensure I had a smooth transtion. It is nice to know that the people who are running the building are really there for you and make an effort to see that you are enjoying your stay. They are always willing to lend a helping hand, even now that I have been living here. Amenities: The amenities at The View are great. The gym is brand new (just like everything else), is open 24/7, and never gets crowded. There is a community area on the 14th floor with a flat screen tv, bar area, and a great area for entertaining. Also on the 14th floor is "The Scene" which includes a tanning area and plunge pools - I can't wait for summer. This place is a no brainer if you are moving to Ballson. Love it!

So many things to say! Im actually a current resident and have been living in the building going on…read more4 years. Let me start off by saying that the building has a lot of great potential, is mainly doing a good,but has areas that need improvement. Each year when it's time to renew the lease I look around at other places to see if I'm getting my monies worth and each year (so far) I decide to renew my contract. Based on the proximity to the metro, the size of the apartment,and the amenities I think this place is totally worth it! Positives: The apartments are really a great size. Each apartment is about 700+ square feet! That plus the fact that you literally can't live any closer to the metro makes this place ideal. Again the proximity to the metro! Honestly it's the best selling point to this place! You can roll out of bed and jump on the bus or metro at anytime. The outdoor and community space are also really nice! In the summer I love lounging by the pool and feeling like I'm on vacation. TJ Maxx and the grocery store are basically my home away from home! I love that the grocery store so close and that I can go browse the racks on any day. Negatives: You can hear EVERYTHING going on outside of your window. They must have gone for cheep windows because they let in every single sound! You can't hear your neighbor but you can hear every laugh from outside. The freight elevator kills me!!! I live closer to the freight elevator so I usually try to take the freight elevator BUT most days it doesn't work! I convince myself that I'm getting in my workout but after a long day of work I hate that I'm forced to take the stairs. Imagine how much it sucks carrying groceries up all the stairs. No residential parking anywhere! If you have a car you have no option but to pay to put it in the garage. $175 each month! There is no zone parking for residents so your only option is to get rid of your car or pay to keep it in the garage. There is very limited street parking but you have to pay for it by the hour and it's extremely limited.

It started with the leasing process back in spring of 2024. My fiancee and I were trying to get our paperwork in order and every time we called to ask for clarification, we got different answers about what was acceptable from different people. It took over SIX WEEKS to hear back from the assistant manager, who had been on vacation and apparently didn't leave a sticky note or any sort of instructions to the person next in charge. She said that she didn't know how the online forms worked because she "had never seen the website before" -- this will be a common theme with her as she didn't know how the payment page on the website worked either. Ten days before we were supposed to move in I got a call: the apartment that we signed for had been inspected and was - in their words - "Unlivable and uninhabitable." So instead they were going to move us to a different unit down the hall. We got a shoddy video recording of the place, and were assured that it was a nice apartment unit. What the people of RIR "forgot" to mention was that this unit is DIRECTLY UNDER THE GYM IN THE BUILDING. So now my fiancee and I get to hear people running on treadmills, dropping weights, jumping rope, punching/kicking the sparring equipment, and more - at all hours of the day. Let me clarify that we would NOT have agreed to this unit under normal circumstances, were COMPLETELY unaware that we would be under the gym, and if they had told us about it before rushing us into a new contract then we would not have signed. There are small display stands outside of each unit door that you can put decorations on, many people do. My fiancee and I put a small painting on ours, and it was ripped up and destroyed by another tenant within 48 hours. Wish that I could say whoever did it was caught, but there are no cameras in the hallways - so anything could happen out there and no one would know. The parking garage connected to the building is owned by a separate company that will charge you hundreds of dollars per month to do a shoddy job making you feel like your car is secure: we hear car alarms going off nearly every morning or night., and they don't seem to mind the homeless people just laying about the place. The CVS at the end of the block is a joke, the shelves are never more than 25% stocked, and people steal things from there constantly. This also goes for the Giant up the street - seems convenient on paper, but you'll learn how badly run that store is too. The main elevator to our building goes down seemingly every other week, and the most recent time that it did it was down for about three weeks. Communication is piss poor here. You can call the concierge desk about something and the person working there will constantly interrupt you and just try to get through the conversation as quickly as possible without a resolution. If they say they're going to follow up with something, it turns out that YOU have to be the one who follows up or you'll never hear from them again. Apparently Buzzuto hires temps for a few weeks at a time, because the faces of the desks change constantly and no one seems to know how anything works here. For example the pool closed the first weekend in September, and we were still getting emails about the pool closing "soon" mid-way through October. Your mail and packages will not be safe here. We've had multiple instances of ordering something, getting the confirmation email that the package was delivered, but no one at any of the desks have any idea where it is. One of my most recent packages was lost for over a week - and when it was found it had been shoved in the back of the mail room with our unit number crossed out and a different one scribbled on the side. There is more, but I'm at my character limit. Let me just say that the best part of RIR is how close it is to the metro station, so you can get away from here quickly. We cannot wait to move out.
