ALL the lots are less than half full, yet people are refused short-term passes to see the loved ones. A young nephew was trying to to visit his aunt, a victim of breast cancer & was denied a parking & threatened to be towed , ... in a lot that was mostly empty. Owners receive large boxes & renters have packages returned to their sender as 'too big'. Expect trips to UPS, etc to collect your packages! Also, we bought a home & moved out, management decided to lock us out before the our actual lease was up up. He acknowledged that didn't look to see if the lease was up either. Renters beware!!!!! Horrible place to live. Jorge is deplorable & should be fired.

Low rating due to their absolutely moronic and pitiful guest parking policy, which punishes people who aren't lucky enough to rent a parking spot from a homeowner there who might own an additional parking space or have one available. Free spots are tough to come by and many people are looking. My guest parking privileges were revoked, despite being a guest myself and not a resident, for obtaining "too many" parking passes when visiting my girlfriend at the place she is renting. It would be somewhat understandable if visitor parking spaces were in high demand, but they are not- the lot is routinely empty, including during the weekends when there are slightly more visitors to the building. That said, I've never seen the parking lot full- it's never even been close. One last point on the guest passes- if you are expecting visitors, never let them park in the lot without a guest pass. If they are going to miss the concierge desk closing (10pm), get a pass for them earlier in the day. At about 10:30 or 11, a tow truck will come by and swiftly remove your vehicle. I was only able to escape the towing one night by paying off the truck driver- a scam fee of $50 he obviously pocketed. The building itself is a nice place and my girlfriend quite likes it. There is ample room for dog walking, too and being close to RTC is always nice. The rating would be better if I wasn't now forced to actually park at RTC to visit my girlfriend, while the copious amount of visitor parking spots remain untouched.

    I have lived here several years, long enough to note the negative changes that have occurred here…read more as for me, I realize that things break down and need to be fixed from time to time. With this said, whenever I call for a maintenance repair, the wait is longer and longer. I realize they are short of staff but having water damage coming through your walls is serious and should be treated as such. Also, there were loose appliances for years that I kept reporting. they were causing structural damage as well as water damage. I was told they would paint my space several years ago but have not. there are cracks all over the tiles but I was told they couldn't do anything because it was just an older property . They are in kitchen and bathrooms and look so embarrassing! They put in hard wood flooring but the men who put it in did not seal off the ends, leaving boards loose and unattached in areas. I have holes on the upper walls and lower walls in several spots of apartment. one maintenance worker said it could be the wiring of the unit near me. I did research and found that besides insects, other bugs that Rodents can live in there! Terrified of critters, especially Mice and I will likely pass out if I see a rat! I have had mold, also black mold. My daughter, who has a serious respiratory issue, went to stay with my Mom for awhile out of concern for health. They were using very antiquated fans that were filthy to dry and water patch holes. It Seemed to work until it didn't. I used to keep track of all orders I needed but I know they are short staffed( because they tell me) they have done some nice maintenance jobs for me but as a renter, it has to be up to code to be eligible for public housing. the parking, or lack there of is a sore subject for the residents. could a renter's meeting be an option? Everyone's opinions are valid and need to be heard. Plus, it could establish positive change. Could we bring back a Fall yard sale? This is something that happened under different leadership and brought the community together. There are little things the admins and residents can do collectively to try to make this a place a positive, friendly one that people Want to live. currently, I cannot advocate for parc Reston though that could change. If you are considering this place, opt for 2-3 floor. First floor gets a lot of bugs and spiders.

    I am surprised by all of the negative reviews, we have lived here for years and have had positive…read moreexperiences. As for parking: As long as guests are logged in for parking and we have our parking decals, there has never been an issue. From my understanding, parking used to be quite an issue before towing was enforced - resident's parking spots were taken by people coming from the Town Center. Having to have a decal on your car for parking is the exact same policy I've encountered at other condos that I have lived in. As for the positive aspects: The location is great - literally a three minute walk to Whole Foods and five to the Town Center. The site is well maintained, the flowers are beautiful, and the area is kept clean. I have always felt safe here and often go walking with my small children. The area is quiet and I have never heard of anyone having any problems with pests. We have found the administration to be helpful - for example, we have needed paint for our door twice which they have supplied. They've also been responsive when we have needed new decals for our car or questions about the pool. All at all living here has been a very positive experience for us.

    I am reporting a couple years subsequent to the harmful, painful injury to my left great toe that…read moreoccurred when an unsecured, wobbly bollard adjacent to Midtown North fell onto my foot. The board members at Midtown and their lawyer denied any responsibility, challenged me to produce evidence that the bollard fell onto my foot and broke two bones in my great toe. They ignored my request that they investigate the possibility that the injury was recorded on a camera on the exterior of the adjacent building, and they rejected my description of the bollard falling on my foot. They did not use the noun "liar" to describe me, but they used every possible means to suggest that I was a liar. They made no effort to suggest a way in which my toe had been injured because there was no believable, logical way that my toe would have been crushed as I walked my dog along the street where the old, unstable bollards lined the entrance to the mews. Nota Bene: Immediately after the bollard fell on my toe, the number of bollards was reduced by one. The Midtown authorities apparently removed a bollard, perhaps the bollard that crushed my toe. Soon after my injury and the denials of the Midtown management and its lawyer, the falling-over bollards were replaced with new bollards. Could that be a coincidence?! Or could it be obvious evidence that there was a need to replace the former, old, unsecured bollards to prevent subsequent injuries to pedestrians and pets who could be injured by the toppling of another bollard like the one that crushed my toe and broke two bones. Subsequent to the healing of the two bones in my great toe, another condition became a painful problem. The weight of the bollard crushed my toe nail deeper into my toe and caused the permanenneed to trim the nail, left and right, that became imbedded in my toe and causing pain until being cut. Ingrown nail? No. Imbedded nail. Clearly caused by the Midtown bollard that fell onto my left foot and crushed my left great toe, breaking two bones and pushing the nail into the body of my toe. The positive news is that moved away from The Cosmopolitan, The Midtown, and Reston as soon as I was able. I feared that living there was not judicious for anyone, particularly for old people. My experience caused me pain and suffering that could only be assuaged by escaping the location of its occurrence and the people who denied me of the help for the injury that they caused and emphatically denied.

    Ugghh.. The Negatives…read more We have had a hole in our wall for two months. There is a leak and engineering can't find it and they get busy and forget to deal with it. It is still there. They are in no hurry to fix it and so we have a bowl in the middle of the hallway collecting water. As far as cold showers - true - the East Tower has to have its water shut down at least once a month for a full day due to maintenance. This means in the summer - no air conditioning - a building with all windows and no air conditioning is intolerable. During these times it is necessary to fill a bath with water so you can flush the toilets. Construction has been ongoing and so the balconies were unusable for 8 months. The construction was incredibly loud and would go from morning to night - it was not possible to do a call while they removed the facade. It was not the fault of the construction crew but during construction there was very little privacy. Looking down at the pool during winter months you can see a fair amount of construction material and a Johnny on the spot... The management staff is obnoxious and unable to provide customer service. They are unable to deal with the upsets of tenants and prefer to cower in the offices and instruct front desk to tell them they are not available. I have sent plenty of emails complaining about the water leak and their response is they have not received anything. They chastise the tenants when they don't understand how to log in to their portal - there are a lot of older tenants in the building and the system is complex for them. The Positives The Front Desk staff tries very hard. There are some very nice people struggling to do a great job despite management. Kudos to them. There has been rapid turnover however they try their best. There are some fantastic people living in Midtown. There is a friendly community spirit among residents. Bottom line is this is not a luxury residence. It is close to great restaurants and goods and services and has a fantastic view. Anytime I am living in a place where I need to fill a bathtub with water to flush my toilets and have a bowl in the middle of the hallway for two months to collect what I hope is clean water does not say "luxury" to me.
