My family and I have lived here for over 1 year. We enjoy the pool and playground areas. However, I feel the bad points definitely outweigh the good points. Please see below:Pros:-The rent is a lot cheaper than comparable apartment complexes-The location is ideal for shopping, restaurants, and commutingCons:-Aimco staff is rather unresponsive and some of them are quite rude.-Maintenance staff are inexperienced and incapable. Last summer our apartment flooded multiple times despite constant requests to the maintenance team. The cause was the unwillingness to clean the gutters periodically. This caused us to live in a hotel for 3 nights and $500 of damage to our belongings.-New playground equipment is cheap and dangerous. The new playground equipment has only been installed for about 6 months and I have already observed multiple injuries.-I have observed multiple residents smoking on the apartment grounds despite this being against the lease. The apartment staff are not enforcing the rules.-On 4/21/2019 there was a multiple unit fire that killed one resident. This was fire spread quickly to at least three units before it was under control despite being located directly next to a fire station. It is clear that this apartment complex is a fire hazard.https://www.fox5dc.com/amp/news/local-news/deadly-fairfax-county-apartment-fire
