I had a tour for the building today and it was amazing. I submitted my application as soon as it…read moreconcluded. Lauren Jones was amazing, very knowledgeable on the building and answered all my questions. I hope I get to move in and hopefully enjoy all this place has to offer.

The company responsible for virtual optics should receive a raise and peeked my interest to…read moreschedule a tour. Unfortunately, my overall experience was a case study in FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. Scheduling Tour: On Wednesday evening, I completed the online interest form to request a tour on Friday at 5:30 pm. Leading up to the tour date, I did not receive a phone call, text (I checked the box to receive notifications), nor an email to confirm day and time. On Friday at 3:30 pm, I called to ask if I was still on the schedule for a tour. The representative stated that "the scheduler" was on a break, but would call back. At 4:45 pm, I received a phone call in which the rep recited my email address. Although there was a misspelling, I still did not receive a phone call. However, against my better judgement, I asked about availability on Saturday. Since there were no tours on her schedule, I chose 12:30 pm. The rep said I should receive an email using the corrected address, I did not. On Saturday, I arrived at 12:15 pm. Upon entering the building, the representative shared that I would need to wait until my tour time of 12:30 pm. At 12:30 pm, she escorted me to the office to take care of the preliminary questioning to learn more about my interests. I was quoted about $2100 for a 1 bed/1 bath. Tour: As someone who has nearly 30 years of experience in which introductions and professionalism are paramount, the external and internal optics did not reflect a "luxury apartment (as noted on the website)" atmosphere. Butterfly Door Entry: Secure Fitness Center: Decent Lounge: Spacious/noticed stains on furniture Pet Parlor: Okay Entertainment Room: Stains on furniture 1 bed/1 bath apartment: I was appalled that the rep used a unit that was not staged!!!! The occupants just moved out, so the space was not clean. There was a used condom wrapper on the bathroom floor. The fact that she thought it would make a good impression to show a dirty unit is beyond troubling. She even said, "they were here for four years, and doesn't look too bad." The hallway smelled of weed, the carpet floors were not clean, and the wall paneling was lifted/buckled. There was little to no evidence that the property was cleaned regularly. Overall: --The Oxford Apartments virtual advertisement DOES NOT align with the actual property. --The rent is grossly overpriced ($2100 for a 1 bed/1 bath, really??!!!!). --The customer service expectation bar should be raised significantly (prompt follow-up with prospective residents; personal appearance of those on duty).

The apts have little patios or balconies and have a comfy feeling. I decided ultimately to sublet instead of rent but I hold my experience of checking out a studio there (for just 699$) as a great one. Would recommend it to anyone looking to live in congress heights/south DC.

They allow you to Vacate if you're not satisfied as long as you move within 30 days i was there 6 days . -I still have not received my money back and I will never rent any apartments that do business like this I didn't move in and was only there for 6 days and still haven't received my money back and I've called over 13 times to the office as well as corporate office PLEASE DO NOT RENT TO SOUTHERN MANAGEMENT- THEY DONT RETURN CALLS AND THEY DON'T RESPOND TO EMAILS It need to be a law against property management companies who don't refund new tenants their money back within a reasonable time. We paid them upfront and yet being told we have to up until 45 days to get our payment back ? I now will need to take court action against them. What are our rights by law? I left messages for past two weeks for Todd Wilson and I called the corporate office and left message after message for Lynn Phillips THE VP absolutely no response or updates on my payment Do not rent here make them work for that commission money

Unless you absolutely have no other choice, don't move here! I've been here over 5 years now, and…read morethe environment, rental office staff, and tenants have all gone down hill. This was supposed to be a no pet complex, but everyone seems to have dogs. And not just small dogs, huge dogs, cane corsos, pit bulls, mastiffs, German Shepherds... And they don't pick up after their dog. There is dog sh*t everywhere. We once had lush beautiful green grass, but it's all dead because of the dogs. I've even been threatened because I asked a man if he could put a leash on his pitbull that was running towards my son and I. All he could say was oh, he's friendly. And got mad because I didn't want the dog jumping on me. Maintenance is a joke, they come weeks or months after a maintenance issue. We have had constant leaks, mice, and a major huge roach infestation. We asked for an exterminator, but he only comes when he wants. So we eradicated it on our own. If you want to do laundry in the laundry room, that's a joke. The machines are always broken, or you have to fight through young men to get inside. They constantly break the door lock to gain entrance inside. Parking is a joke. I believe that people just bring their junk cars here to sit in the lot taking up space. The rental office doesn't care at all. And when you call them, because I guess they've been threatened so much, you can't even gain access to the office without an appointment, they ask if you have a balance. Like that dictates if they will help you or not. I still have a moldy leaky ceiling from months ago that they have not fixed. And the property manager Todd Wilson is a complete joke. And please don't comment that you want me to reach out to your customer care line. Y'all are terrible.

The Verona at Silver Hill - This area of the photo, you will be able to hear your both your upstairs and downstairs neighbors if they are speaking. Be mindful.

The apartments are spacious and has some ok qualities. Plenty of parking but you need a parking…read morepass, quiet on the outside, loud on the inside. Their is a gas station right in the front of the complex, close to dc and a good amount of stores nearby. Some kids were urinating in the building and packages were being stolen at a point in time. Pepco is who you pay electricity to and you receive a Conservice bill for water & gas which you pay with your rent. The neighbors make living here irritating because of lack of consideration and respect. Knowing that my neighbors are harassing on purpose I decided it's only fair to share the experience for future residents. There are washers and dryers which are stacked. The bigger bedroom does not get proper air circulation. There are lots of bugs (spiders, grasshoppers, other unknown bugs). You have 2 ways to go to the bedrooms. The bedroom closets are pocket doors which you can hear your neighbors slamming. The tub was not glazed but painted upon moving in so everything was stuck to the paint. Master bedroom floor had major dips in the floor and dressers were leaning (if you have a child/children or a pet please be careful so nothing falls on them). The floors creaked really bad (which means hollow floors and no insulation). There is no insulation within the units so if you will be able to hear your neighbors above and below you. People w/ kids who live above you- you will hear them running and more all day even the adults stomp and bang hard as ever. If you have decent neighbors appreciate them because some neighbors believe they are entitled to be as loud as they would like. (Some neighbors are crazy so I take photos & videos for my protection). As of currently since moving in we have experienced neighbors above us who during the touring process could be heard following us through the apartment. With thin flooring the upstairs neighbors heard us speaking and followed us in each room while touring from inside their unit. Those same upstairs neighbors who live in the unit number 9 has been nothing but disrespectful since. A common thing we've experienced is anytime they hear us communicating whether by phone or in person you would hear their heavy hard stomps/feet follow us around and when we reported their noise, they retaliated with even louder noise. At a point they would sit in their car knowing what time we would leave and watch us as we came and went. If they hear you cough, sneeze or talk to loud they will follow wherever you are and stand and listen. They'll follow around just because and I swear on it. My alarm system was deactivated one morning and once they heard that they came running to watch you and then they took their trash out. Just so they can see you. They are retaliatory and if you bang because of their noise they will stomp through the entire apartment. Now the downstairs neighbors in apartment 1 stomp which surprisingly you can hear them underneath you. They came and stopped us as we moved in to say oh you're quiet unlike those neighbors before you just to see how we would respond. After time they began being so loud we could hear them underneath us. One of the women here doesn't work either so they as well will follow you around and then listen to you as you use the bathroom. They, after me giving them the same energy have been nothing but rude and began mean mugging so for that reason I needed to snap their pictures as well. One night they were fighting and you could hear it as if it was in your unit. Again people should know what type neighbors they have living around them. You will be surprised that some of your neighbors are weird and may be retaliatory so it's best to be cautious. As of currently my neighbors and I are in dislike of one another because they want to bang and stomp while I believe there should be some consideration for having neighbors around you.

Selective apartments include roaches and mice and poor pest control treatment. In order to get a good night sleep the unit above either must be vacant or you need to rent a third floor unit- great luck on them knee because the steps are steep and not to mention rusted, deteriorated and steep as hell. Run don't walk or you might regret it... This is not where you want to call your home.

I would like to thank the Oxon Hill Fire departments (Arlington, Fairfax, Alexandria, Navel…read moreDistrict, Andrews?). I want to say thank you to all that helped put out the fire in the Oxon Hill Village Apartments on January 1, 2021@ around 830 pm. It is a good thing that you are taught at an early age to devise an escape plan in case of fire, things like feeling the door before opening, or what exit to use. That night I got out alive using those helpful life-saving steps. Within minutes I had to remember to stay calm, move swiftly but carefully. I was falling asleep in my recliner when a neighbor shouted fire get out! the command sounds simple, but it is a hard one when black smoke comes into your main escape route and your two other exits are covered in smoke and what I can only assume are pieces of my neighbor's upstairs apartment. I was falling asleep when I heard get out!, when I ran away from the black smoke at the front door I ran to my bedroom and I thank God to this day I had been procrastinating about taking my sleep medication. When I ran to my bedroom when I think back on it my bedroom looked foggy because of smoke, had I taken my medicine I never would have woken up! I am thankful every morning that I wake up! thankful? that none of my family were there. I can't even tell you how long it took to get out, but when I finally got out I got in my car, and when I was pulling out of my parking space the fire department came rolling in. It is my belief that because of The Oxon Hill Fire Departments' swift action and the Oxon Hill Village Maintenance team, the row of apartments did not blow up, it is my Firm belief life would have been lost rather than the displacement of Sixty-Five people. I took hours to put the fire out. I left our complex at about 12 am ? and those brave Men and Women were still working. When I called to get information to give to my insurance company the fire department. ent was much more helpful than the complex. My younger brother is a fireman, so I know the hours are long and have always known the job is dangerous, but how you are treated after the fire also matters. So I really want them to know that the departments of fire and ems are so appreciated. I am rather embarrassed that it has taken so long for this review, but not one day goes by that I don't think about that night. Until next Yelp, Vj
