My storage unit was broken into (there are constant robberies at this property), and everything…read moreinside was stolen resulting in thousands of dollars in property losses. What makes this even more disturbing is that the storage room requires both a key fob to enter and a key to unlock each individual unit. I contacted the police and filed a report, and they found no signs of forced entry on any storage unit except mine. I'm the only person who knows which unit is mine (outside of the building management), and I keep my key fob and key on my car keys, which are on my person at all times when I leave my unit. This robbery makes no sense. Somehow, the only key provided to me by the leasing office opened my storage unit, and everything inside was cleaned out. The fact that no one without a fob or key should have been able to access the storage room makes this situation feel suspicious -- almost like an inside job. To make matters worse, management did not review any security footage and showed no urgency in trying to help or investigate what happened. It's deeply unsettling to live somewhere where your belongings can vanish from a "secured" storage room that supposedly only residents can access. On top of that, you can expect an automatic rent increase of $100-$200 every year, regardless of your lease experience or the condition of the property. They offer to "negotiate" the mandatory rent increase to create the illusion of being diplomatic, but any new offer is insignificant. And if that weren't enough, my pregnant wife was screamed at by the lead leasing associate and was recorded by their phone's camera without consent. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable behavior. This entire experience was stressful, invasive, and incredibly disappointing. Between the theft, the lack of accountability, the rent hikes, and the disrespectful management, I strongly urge anyone considering this property to look elsewhere.

I live in this building and I'm extremely disappointed. I no longer feel safe here, and it's made…read moreme anxious and stressed. A few months ago, we rented some storage units in the building to store important items, including my baby's stroller, toys, a new couch, a baby chair, and other essential belongings. We simply didn't have enough space in our apartment with all the baby things. Shockingly, someone broke into our storage unit and stole everything. Only my husband and the two building managers knew about the unit. We reported it to both the managers and the police, but nothing was done--and nobody seemed to care. This experience has left me feeling completely unsafe. What's next? Will my car be stolen? Could someone break into my apartment too? If the building can't protect something as basic as a locked storage unit, how can residents feel secure? This is absolutely unacceptable. The building is not safe, and the management's lack of action shows a complete disregard for residents' safety and peace of mind.

Living here at Parc Meridian has been a huge letdown. Over the past couple of years, it feels like…read moreone thing after another. Back in 2024 and 2025, we had to deal with the lobby AC being broken for months, a business center that was basically unusable, frustrating losses of water and power, broken garage doors, and an emergency incident that shut down the fitness center for ages. Things didn't get any better into 2026, with constant issues like broken elevators, broken lobby doors, broken trash compactors that repeatedly forced residents to haul their own trash all the way down to the loading dock, and fire alarm activations. On top of all that, get used to the constant smell of weed and seeing dog pee in the elevators and across the complex. To make matters worse, we have had to deal with a persistent, awful odor coming into our unit from the mechanical room. After enduring 4 months of email correspondence and 4 separate maintenance tickets, when we finally gave our notice to vacate due to the ongoing odor and asked management to waive the fees either fully or partially, the property manager, Hunter, didn't even acknowledge the issue and instead rudely asked us to submit yet another maintenance ticket. With these unresolved conditions forcing us to leave, we were hit with a heavy $6,670 early termination fee, and management has been completely unwilling to work with us on a fair compromise. For a building that markets itself as luxury, the lack of basic upkeep, amenities, and supportive management is disappointing, and future residents should definitely think twice before signing a lease here.

Website, signs and all info says open until 5 on Sundays. Only that is not true. They have not been open on Sundays for five years but had just failed to change the information on the reservation line or any advertising. No apology. No offer to set up new appointment. Nothing. On the bright side, I met a resident who went out of his way to walk us through the construction to the leasing office where we spoke to a man who told us that this had been a problem FOR FIVE YEARS! No apology, no offer to reset appointment, and really no concern. It might be nice some day, but that day is not today. Changing advertisements, having real time appointments is minimal management expectation. That does not exist.

Bike parking, yep, staff won't tell you the right place and oh well if you're bike is stolen because you were told the wrong place to store jt. Parking - sure they'll make you pay for it but no responsibility if anything happens to you car in the garage. Energy bills - quoted one thing and every single bill has been twice as much as the quote and I'm extremely thrifty. Don't buy into their special lease deals. It is t worth it at all.

Whenever we complain, they tell us "sorry" and to work somewhere else. Umm, I don't pay $4K in rent just to go somewhere else. Instead, the management will throw a pizza party every two months. How about giving us a credit on our rent since we can't use our apartments during the day?! We are paying a lot of money to live here and we can't even be in our apartments during working hours. I suggest you avoid this place for the next 2-3 years until all of the units have been renovated.

From the beginning, when asked a question everyone is mad at you for being there. They act like it's an inconvenience that you exist. If there is a maintenance issue, might as well learn to fix it yourself. They constantly close tickets the day they are put in without being addressed. They didn't fix our AC all summer, even though I contacted them every single week. They do not care that they are breaking the lease agreement. Apartment temperatures reached 90 degrees and they still wouldn't come. When they finally "fixed" it, they turned off the hot water in the process. It took 4 months to get AC back, and they only took action once I pointed out their negligence and criminal activity. They also charged us for not having renters insurance, when we did. When brought up to them, they refused to respond. There is an option to pay a fee to only lightly clean when moving out, this somehow to "lost" and never made it into the system after we submitted it. That is the intentional retaliation that was previously mentioned. CAR BREAK INS ARE COMMONPLACE! One of our cars and multiple other residents have their cars broken into.

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!

Thank you for making these improvements Siena Park. I will miss you. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - There are things I love about this apartment and things that I absolutely hate. The apartment is nice and secured, for the most part (Jeremy is GREAT. The rooftop was pretty and clean every time I went up there (though others apparently have found pet poop up there). The lobby was always clean (in my experience, though others have complained about it being dirty?). There's a Starbucks machine on the first floor. There's a free apartment fitness center on the second floor and an Xsport Express gym on the first floor (for paying members). They have a garage where lévela B2 and B3 are for residents only. They almost always have a concierge in the lobby. The concierge almost always opens the locked lobby doors for you when they know you and see you coming. They can deliver packages and leave them IN your apartment. They have a room with a fax machine, printer, and Mac computers. They host seasonal events for the residents. The bad... it costs $100/month to park in the garage, which is common in this area. Customer service is hit or miss. They can be VERY nice and professional, but sometimes they are dismissive and make smart comments that sting. The bbq grills on the rooftop didn't work the two times I tried to use them. The pool is smaller than most apartment pools I've seen. The apartment has a bar/restaurant in its first floor, so you can hear drunk fights and yells late in the night, prompting residents to call the police (which has happened this year). You can hear the fire alarm from the apartment next door, which sometimes go off late at night. I remember it going off every so often when I first moved in. I would always wake up late at night smh. People like to drag race and play music loudly by the apartment late at night, waking us up. The garage level B1 is basically free for all to use because the garage entry/exit has been broken for a while, so residents don't even need to use their keycard that they pay for on a monthly basis ($100). I absolutely HATE the people who charge us for using the parking garage. They like to play games and don't answer questions. They keep dodging my questions. Despite all the bad stuff I mentioned, I still liked the apartment because of its convenient location and it was nice enough for me. Plus, it was the cheapest apartment I could find in Arlington when I first signed the lease... the cheapest one that was nice, conveniently located, and came with a garage, concierge, and washer/dryer. Other nearby apartments charged way more and didn't even have a washer/dryer in each apartment. Also, their walls are thicker than the walls of other apartments. I'm giving two stars because they've pissed me off enough times.

It has generally been a good place to live…read more Lately there have been some significant problems though that the management company has refused to deal with. Right now I am dealing with an upstairs neighbor who is making a ton of noise by slamming heavy things onto the floor all day and night, and Siena Park is not taking that seriously. They told me that if it was happening during the day, then that was not a problem since it was not happening during their "quiet hours" - I guess that in theory, slamming a sledgehammer onto the floor all day long would be fine, as long as you stopped doing that after 10:00 pm. I told them that I might need to move out of the apartment due to the noise, since I work from home, and they replied that even if I continued to pay my rent every month for the rest of the lease, they would charge me some kind of early vacating fee that was the equivalent of one month's rent for moving out early. What if I was traveling and ended up being away from the apartment for a while - would that also be some kind of early vacating situation that I would need to pay a fee of thousands of dollars for? If I am paying rent every month, and complying with the terms of the lease, why does it matter how often I am physically in the building or whether I sleep here every night? In any case, I have seen this happen before after many years of apartment living, where some crazy tenant will keep harassing or threatening their neighbors and the management company or landlord will not address it until it finally leads to some kind of incident. This whole neighborhood in general has really gown downhill with significant increases in violence, drugs, homelessness, crime, etc. - if you are going to pay thousands of dollars a month for a small apartment, check out Rosslyn, Clarendon, Shirlington, Ballston, really any area of Arlington County other than Columbia Pike. Certainly the local apartment buildings around here and the trashy tenants living in them are a reflection of that decline.
