Our apartment at Windsor Kingstowne (formally known as Sussex At Kingstowne) will forever hold a…read morevery special place in my heart. My husband and I moved here in summer of 2021- newly married and ready to share a space together. We were matched with Tsehai, who was very personable and professional and guided us through the process. After viewing the Ashley layout, we felt like it was the perfect space for us and quickly applied. I do recall being a little disappointed to know that our 2nd floor apartment came with carpet when I was led to believe apartments had vinyl flooring. Soon after we moved, the complex changed management companies and their name to what it's called now. As for our apartment, we absolutely loved the layout. Our bedroom was huge! We were able to fit a king size bed and 3 full size dressers, a desk and still had room to spare. The closet was also a decent size. At first, I wasn't particularly a fan of the way their jack and jill sinks were set up but after living there for a while, I appreciated having a sink in the bedroom. I wish the bathroom was bigger but it got the job done. We had a problem with stains on our ceiling which maintenance claimed was because we took hot showers but in reality I honestly think it was some kind of mold. Another personal issue was our the height of our sinks and toilet. Both sinks were very low and as someone who is average height, I was straining my back any time I used it. The toilet was also on the smaller side and very low to the ground. I do believe they may have updated everything because I toured their newer units and the upgrades were very nice. The kitchen size was good and I loved having a gas stove, definitely a plus! Our neighbors were quiet and we never heard anyone walking above us or hear our neighbors between our walls. Everyone was respectful of each other. Over the last 3 years, I did enjoy my time living there but were a few problems as well. Over the last year, there were doing a lot of repair work on the roof and siding. We didn't receive any notice for such construction which would start at 8am all the way in the afternoon. My husband and I both work from home and it was very inconvenient for us. Even if we didn't WFH, the sound was absolutely insane - it was as if they were drilling holes in my own house for 8 hours straight. We eventually did receive a few emails here and there letting us know that construction was taking place but the streets and buildings they would mention would be incorrect so we actually never knew when they would be working outside our place. Another problem with this construction project was parking. Contractors would leave their equipment in the parking lot overnight and we would run out of parking spots by 8pm. They didn't let us park under the canopy as courtesy nor provide alternate options during this time. I do wish this was handled better considering the construction project was on going for a few months. Our AC would also break multiple times a year - they did eventually replace the whole system but scheduled it without my consent and I woke up to a male banging at my door at 8am insisting he's a hired contractor but was in plain clothes. I refused to let him in only for him to return with Windsor maintenance which was a relief once they told me what was going on. Maintenance was professional and prompt with their service but the stain on our ceiling was a constant battle and they never offered a permanent solution. I also noticed that it was hard to communicate with management via email - I recall sending messages through their portal and via email and almost never heard back. They do have a phone number to the leasing office but again, either no one would pick up so I would have to leave a message or off site receptionist. Lastly, one thing that is still an on-going issue was related to our last payment upon move-out. We were sent a bill for our last months utilities which included a $150 charge to paint the stained ceiling in our bathroom. We received the bill on June 28th with a payment due date for July 3rd. I called the office on July 1st to inquire about the $150 charge that should not have been our responsibility - I was told someone would call me back but no one did. I called back on July 2nd and again, had to leave a message but someone did call me back this time to let me know that I should contact them via the final bill email so the proper team can assess the problem. No one responded back and the bill was sent to collections the following day. I wish this was handled a little better and I'm disappointed with the lack of communication and care; now I have to deal with the collections department for an incorrect bill.

When first renting (have had apartment for 5 years), the management was good. Then management switched, and it was okay. It has switched again to Greystar, and they are horrible to work with. Although the office workers are polite, and nice enough, they don't seem to have the authority to address any issues or be helpful in resolving problems. Their payment portal is down frequently, and if you are late due to portal being down they still try to charge a late fee. The AI chatbot they use is not accurate regarding fees owed, so you still have to reach to the office - which understaffed and hard to get in touch with. The staff has missed scheduled appointments with the excuse they are the only one on site. Overall, a very bad experience. Kingstowne is a great are, but I recommend any other apartment complex - possible Sussex - or private rental of a townhouse.

Even after moving out, we received a long list of extra fees that seemed unreasonable. Communication with the management is very difficult. They are not willing to work with tenants or offer any flexibility, and it feels like they are always looking for ways to charge more money. Overall, the experience felt very stressful and unfair. I would recommend future tenants to read every detail very carefully and be prepared for many additional charges.

Do not move here. Walls are paper thin, management doesn't address any issues you have and…read moreneighbors are ghetto and inconsiderate. The stairwells always had trash, used napkins, and smelled like cigarettes and marijuana. Loud noise from the unit below us every single night for months and management never did anything. We could not get a single nights sleep. It was so bad that we had to sue the management for not enforcing the lease terms. After winning in court, we were able to break the lease without any penalties and we ended up moving 8 months into a 12 month lease in the middle of a snow storm. It was that bad. Management here is abysmal. TLDR: Do not move here under any circumstances. They are nice to you until you sign the lease then they will treat you like garbage. Plenty of other decent apartments around Alexandria. Also, do not believe any of the 5 star reviews, most of them are from people who toured the place one time and management is probably giving incentives to leave a good review.

I'm hoping to get my deposit and my excess balance, but to my surprise, I owe them. I cleaned the unit before surrendering the keys. We stayed there for 2 years and 3 months, a family of 3 without pet(s). Our stay was decent except for the parking issue, and we wanted a good exit with them, but the charges did not convince us in return. Are they charging me for all the replacements if they are upgrading the unit? The floor is neither new nor sealed, and I don't have any pets. AC duct cleaning should be part of their maintenance. They just completed the cleaning, and the filter was changed last November. Isn't it part of the maintenance I am paying for? Lastly, are they not changing the carpet if you stayed for over 2 years (vacuumed before moving-out)?

The complex is ok. It was better when we first moved in. Parking is limited bc they decided to offer reserved parking spaces which leaves very few available, forcing you to park outside of the gate. We, along with several others, had our car broken into. There are only two dumpsters so be prepared to drive your trash if you aren't lucky enough to live near one of the two. Maintenance is quick. But if you ever need any type of assistance from the leasing office, be prepared to be treated like garbage. There are far better complexes that don't come with attitude and rudeness.

Now, rather than being isolated to the bathroom, it's spreading all over my home in all vents making it impossible to live normally. The service team can never find a solution and does not communicate clearly what next steps are. Our AC was down all summer and we have been dealing with this smell for over 6 months. After over 5 home visits to identify the cause of the smell, now they are saying something is trapped in the vents blocking the flow but they can't even check because they can't access the roof. I don't know how long they expect us to live like this. We truly regret renewing our lease here for another 12 months. It's to the point where opening the windows and balcony can't even get the smell out. i'm already mentally prepping for them to not have an answer tmw when they are supposed to check or to be given some long wait time to make the fix. We are beyond frustrated.
