Worse staff i ever seen in my life, its not apartments its zoo, just be careful with management staff they will trick u

I would give it 3 stars if it wasnt for the parking ! The apartments are very nice and spacious ! (Although our Bedroom door and downstairs bathroom door cant close or lock! A little gust of wind will mess up your cable. The washer isn't that bad but the dryer...We have to put our clothes in for two hours just so they MIGHT BE all the way dry and our oven light doesnt work. ) But the parking lot is ridiculous!!!!! Since My husband and I have been here which has only been about 3 months our cars have been dinked , scratched , and this morning I come down to my car to see my rear view mirror tilted to the sky with scratch marks all on the back of it!! We take care of our cars and make sure we always park inside and in the middle of the lines like a decent human being but I still come down to scratches and dings in my car!! IM SO FURIOUS!! AND TO THINK WE PAID TO BE ABLE TO PARK IN THIS PARKING LOT !! We are basically paying to get our cars dented and scratched all over!! We are on the brink of moving because this is freaking ridiculous!!

Please please don't live here .Think very long and hard about what you're doing ! read the reviews before you decide to turn in your application fee . This is a warning horrible customer service , everything is very outdated horrible pest . I felt I actually own a pet mouse .

Do not rent from foxchase! The management is impossible to get a hold of. They don't return emails or phone calls. They emailed only myself and not my roommate saying we have to give 60 days notice to move out. This was 7 days before that 60 day mark. I was busy working and when I made it down to fill out the paperwork (11 days late) they told us there would be a fee but they could not tell us how much. It turned out to be $740. No where on their website or in any email did it outline the late policy, which is they charge you a full day of rent for every day late you are in filling out the paperwork. The leasing office didn't mention that policy other than we will have a fee charged at some point. I spoke with a manager about it and requested it be reduced or removed. It was removed from our bill. Then magically after we moved out and paid our final rent it appeared again. Their response was that the request for a reduction or removal was denied. They say customer service is important to them but that is not true. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM.

Been trying to talk to staff about leasing an apartment. 1st the phone lines don't work correct but on top of that they had someone text me back who was quite rude and uninformed of the basics such as pricing. If you look online there 2 bedrooms are listed as between about 1700 and 8000, so I called to get the correct information and yet they couldn't tell me what they were going for. Never mind I'll find a more professional company

Horrible, management not helpful at all

Don't Move here! Scroll to the left! The leasing office and management are the worst I've ever seen. I've been a resident for almost 5 years paid my rent on time normally the 1st of the month and requested to move early due to personal reasons. Not only did they say I'd have to pay a hefty $6258 but will take back the $300 renewal of the lease that was given to me. They're overpriced for the value and I've complained several times since I lived here. The maintenance staff are wonderful but the managers treat people terribly and their tenants. Do not move here! Find a newer nicer place to live. I regret my move here and want to warn people don't waste your time. After 5 years of being a loyal tenant they still have no respect or sensitivity for others.

I lived in Foxchase apartments for 3 weeks and had to leave because of personal reasons. I'm 23 just graduated from college and got a job opportunity out in DC. This establishment tied over $4000 onto me because I had to leave due to certain circumstances but even after explaining to them that I just don't have that money they wouldn't work with me at all. Wayne Harris is the worst manager at the establishment because after being told to get into contact with him I sent him an email explaining how I only stayed for 3 weeks and had to leave because of certain reasons he just told one of the other workers at Foxchase, ingnored my email and I had to find out his answer by calling Foxchase and have someone's else explain to me what his highness Wayned Harris said which was basically "we can't help you at all"... completely unprofessional organization and would no way at all recommend it to anyone. After a million phone calls they were able to drop it down a little above 3 grand that I now have to pay $266 a month for a year.... if you are 100% committed to this place and can somehow predict that you won't have to leave due to family/work/illness then stay because they won't cut you slack at all... Again, I stayed three weeks at the place and everything was exactly the way it was when I moved in but because they are starting to get a bad rep (on basically every online review website) they will try to milk as much money out of you...Don't make my mistake and make sure you have a lawyer to look over their move in contact and just a lawyer in general if you are living at Foxchase in Alexandria....they are sneaky...

I was looking for a cheap place to live in Alexandria and stumbled across Foxchase online. While I noted the countless bad reviews (regarding crime/rodents/smell/incompetence/etc), I brushed them aside, as I consider myself to be very low maintenance/with low expectations. Unfortunately, I made the wrong choice. I have never experienced so many hassles, and never been so angry at an apartment place. Background: Two months prior to my lease date, I contacted the office, booked an appointment, received an in-person tour, read the full leasing contract word-for-word, wrote a (roughly?) $1200 check for the down-payment/first month's prorated rent. I then signed the contract, the money cleared, and I entered into a legally binding agreement, in which I exchanged money for the promise of an apartment with the ADDRESS for my promised apartment ON THE CONTRACT. My assigned "leasing agent" was brand new and very incompetent, but I brushed that aside thinking, "hey, just because Cassie is new and can't spell anything, doesn't mean the whole organization is flawed....". Over the next two months, I stayed in contact with the office people, checking in, asking questions, etc. I set up comcast, gas, and electricity FOR THE ADDRESS ON MY CONTRACT. This address was also stated throughout several pieces of email correspondence that I had with the leasing agent. Cable man calls TWO DAYS BEFORE MY LEASE STARTS, and says, "Are you sure this is the right address?" I call up Foxchase and they say "oh gosh, we actually changed the apartment/address, you didn't get our call YESTERDAY?" (aka 3 days before the lease starts). I said, "No, you never called. It is two days before the lease starts. I have spent a ton of time finding a mover, setting up electricity, gas, and comcast to THAT ADDRESS IN THE CONTRACT". They said, "Oh, yeah, we have to move you". No apologies. No admission of guilt. Nothing. It was the last straw. I backed out. I had to race to find anything else - and sleep on a friend's couch for a week in the meantime. I told Foxchase to give me my money back immediately (since they broke the contract). They did, after a month of additional miserable phone calls and emails. I got lucky, because everyone I have spoken to regarding this apartment has reiterated how incompetent, unreliable, manipulative these people are. STAY AWAY. Don't brush this review aside like I did. I regret it.

It is terrible place to live and have to move from the first place because it was a lot of insects mostly they have a mold. They also have a lot of hidden fees and they charge you for everything also the place is very small. They charged me for efficiency/studio as a one bed room. When I moved out they did not give me my whole refund of deposit. I see they charged me for cleaning 130 and the worse part they double charged me for the utilities. It is the worse place and if you have a choice, do not everything moving in there at all. It sucks.

Leasing staff is unhelpful. Called more than a dozen times to request information about our application without ever hearing back. The person who helped us was Trevor Jasmine and every time we tried to get a hold of him via email or telephone, he never answered. We had to drive on multiple occasions to try to speak to him but provided short useless answers and told us to follow up with him via email or telephone but never responded. To this day our application status is unknown, they took the application fees and deposit without services rendered so the money is missing. We tried to speak to upper management, Stefanie Hall or Jessica Morrone, but never returned our called. We got information that they were supposed to give us a call within 24 business hours and that never happened. AIMCO should really teach their employees about customer service and the importance of following up. Furthermore, we felt discriminated because we saw the staff helping others without a hip-cup and yet we have been trying to get help but was never provided any. Susan - That is incorrect. Please check your records again and it will showed the FoxChase Apartments did not reimburse my money. I have tried to contact the office but no one ever answers or returns my calls. I have been battling to get this money back and no one seems to want to help. Terrible customer service.

Do you like parking or a maintenance team that will actually fix what you pay for? Sorry you can't have that at foxchase.

Do not rent at Fox Chase apartments. They show you these nice model apartments and they apartment you rent looks nothing like that. I have been renting here for almost two years and it has been a terrible decision. When I first moved in the shower was not working and it took over a week to get fixed. I was without heat for about a week as well. It got down to 50 degrees in the apartment. When I first moved here they had a shuttle that would fit about 20 people and it would pick you up every 30 minutes. I picked this apartment complex because of the shuttle service only for it to be removed a few month late due to"no one riding it". The shuttle was packed I never rode it with a seat empty. Most recently they did a survey and there was "overwhelming results" for more reserved parking. There were already 5 spots in the lot that were reserved and only 3 were ever used. There are now 12 and they sit mostly empty. Before they added spots I already had a difficult time finding parking now it is almost impossible. I pay $15 per car to park on the street. To get a reserved spot is about $80. This complex does not care about it's tenants. They are just money hungry and are trying to get there tenants frustrated enough with parking so they pay $80 per month. Each year you are going to pay more for less as they take away more and more things.

This PLACE IS AWEFUL!!!!!!!!! DO NOT COME HERE.. I LIVE AT 516 N HOWARD STREET APT 402 SINCE APRIL; AT THE BEGGINING IT WAS OKAY...SINCE THEY IT'S BEEN CHAOS. I REPORTED TO THE MAINTANANCE TEAM ON 7/2014 THAT A DEAD RAT WAS SPOTTED ON THE BALCONY. THEY CAME AND PATCHED THE WHOLE ON THE WALL AND PUT TRAPS AND THAT WAS IT. TILL THIS DAY I STILL HAVE RATS ROAMING THE DINING, KITCHEN AND LIVING AREA OF MY APARTMENT. ON 9/25/14 I REPORTED TO THE MAINTANACENCE TEAM THAT I HAD BEDBUGS IN MY HOME. THEY DID ABSOLUTLY NOTHING AND REPORTED MY REQUEST AS BEING DONE AND COMPLETLED. THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE. YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE FINDING SOMETHING BETTER AT THE GHETTO THAT LIVING AT THIS DUMP. I WILL MOST CERTERLLY GET IN CONTACT WITH MY FRIEND WHO IS A LAWYER TO SEE IF HE CAN HELP ME GET OUT OF MY LEASE THE LEGAL WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been put through the ringer trying to get my 500 dollar refundable deposit back. I applied for an apartment and it was canceled. I was told before hand that I would be given a full refund of the 500 if this was to happen. After 5-7 business days I still had not received anything. After calling and leaving messages for two days I finally reached someone. They said they would pass it along to their DM. The DM sent me a short email saying "I have refunded." This was 12 days ago. I still have not received anything. I sent two emails and left one voicemail and STILL have heard no word. I finally have been in touch with the corporate office. They are now trying to sort it out for me. This has put me in a very bad spot. I needed that REFUNDABLE 500 so I could pay my bills. I am a school teacher and have been extremely stressed out. It has been 3 weeks and yet I have received nothing. I hope I get MY MONEY back.

I have lived in a Foxchase apartment for about a year and overall have not been happy with the apartment. Although this apartment had many problems, the primary reason that I am writing this review is because I, as well as my female neighbors, have experienced peeping toms. I live on the ground floor and caught someone filming me from outside the window while I was in my apartment. Although the windows have window shades, it is easy to see through them. My neighbor said that she has had the same experience three times, and that it has also happened to other neighbors. I called the police when it happened, and they got there quickly. However, when I spoke to the apartment management about switching apartments to a higher floor or ending my lease early, they were not helpful at all and told me that my security was not their concern (it is actually written in the lease). As a female living alone, I did not feel safe in these apartments, especially living on the ground floor, and want to warm other women of this problem. In addition, early on, I had massive cockroaches in the kitchen. However, management was responsive and eventually got rid of them within a few months. I have also had mice in the apartment (once on my kitchen counter). Management was also responsive to this and set mouse traps. The apartment has leaked twice, once getting the entire floor area in the living room wet. Appliances are also not great.

I lived here happily for several years. When I was furloughed in March due to Covid-19, I did not want to give up the apartment and did everything I could to continue making rent payments on time. My lease ends next month and I am still out of the job - I called and explained all of this, that I do not have the funds to continue leasing due to this, and they explained to me that they still plan to charge me over 2,000 (my monthly rent is less than 1,400) because I gave 30 days notice instead of 60. During a pandemic. This is exploitative on so many levels and really shows that Foxchase does not care about their residents. I hope they are able to rectify this situation, but honestly it seems the whole company lacks empathy.

The apartments are over priced. No matter how clean you are, you will get mice and bugs. I put in a maintenance request about the mice and the only thing they did was put sticky traps down. They didn't work to find where the mouse came from and they didn't reach back out to see if the problem had been solved. The parking spots are tight and small. They are ideal for motorcycles but not for cars or trucks. Expect your car to get swiped or dinged from someone trying to fit in the spots. Also, if you come home after 10 on the weeknight, good luck finding a spot to park because both the lot and street parking gets full early. The only thing good about this complex is the maintenance staff. They are nice and are quick to complete the order. The location is what kept me there. For the price you pay you would expect there to be a lot of amenities but there aren't many at all except for the gym and the pool. The gym is as basic as a hotel. The apartments aren't all that nice either.

Horrible experience - mice and bugs - little to no assistance with either issue. Neighbors in building had double-digit numbers of people living in 1 & 2 bedroom apartments. Drunk in building slamming on doors in the middle of night begging for money. Same drunk passed out by mailboxes. All reported, nothing done about it. There was a constant smell to the ridiculously small apartment that we couldn't figure out....while cleaning out the apartment, I pulled out the fridge and found piles of mouse droppings basically "cooking" on the fridge engine....would explain why we were sick more often that year.... To top it all off, when I went to apply for an auto loan, I find out that I have a hit on my credit from this place....when I call to clear it up, I get sent from one office to another, until I end up having to leave a voice mail. Absolutely ridiculous customer service!!!!

They started out great. Friendly staff, grounds seemed well cared for, neighbors seemed nice. But over the past year and a half, everything has gone downhill. Maintenance is either excellent or doesn't bother, with the latter being the most common. Parking is an absolute nightmare, as they don't have enough parking spaces and expect people to pay absurd amounts for individually reserved spaces, and do not enforce towing on the less expensive reserved spaces. The dog park is in disrepair, with the gate damaged, one of the poop bins knocked over, one of the hurdles consistently on its side, and a complete inability to drain after wet weather causing an extremely unpleasant stink and increased risk of parasites. There is no enforcement on dog poop pickup, so in the past few months, the inconsiderate dog owners have turned the grassy areas into a veritable minefield of feces. They appear incapable of enforcing their smoke-free policy as well. While I have been lucky enough to avoid major pest problems, many people have not. Getting someone to return a phone call is like trying to pay off a student loan on a minimum wage salary: impossible, disheartening, and frustrating. Tl;dr: Run.

DO NOT MOVE HERE. I cannot warn you enough to not move here. If the pests, terrible maintenance of the units and buildings, lack of security measures on doors with broken locks, broken appliances, and administration office's complete incompetence and unwillingness to even return a phone call and even stating that they are not responsible or concerned with the safety of their residents, then our most recent issue should. A clog in the building's pipe caused a flood in our apartment which resulted in damage to our furniture and belongings. They "fixed" it and the apartment ended up flooding the next day too. Maintenance was terrible and offered no communication. We were forced to find another apartment when the general manager accused us of being "hostile and aggressive" towards maintenance staff (because we had complained) and the flood had caused such extensive water damage that they would have to tear out living room walls, baseboards, and possibly floor boards. This turned into a health hazard for my asthma and despite this and the impending construction, the general manager insisted that they required a 60 day notice and despite us telling her upfront that we were moving in a week and her saying that it shouldn't be an issue to prorate the rent, they wouldn't honor it. Now, after having to struggle to receive responses from her, she acts like she's doing us a favor by saying we must pay an entire month that we won't be there. After I pointed out a Virgina statute that stated that in a situation like this, they only legally needed 14 days, she claimed that they "don't follow Virgina law and only follow Aimco law." Do you want to live somewhere where the general manager states that they don't follow the state laws? I've now filed multiple complaints with corporate and with the Better Business Bureau. Please take the time to read these reviews (our mistake for not doing so) and find something else.

UPDATE: Foxchase is a scam. DO NOT MOVE HERE. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. Yesterday I moved out of Foxchase. For two months, I asked the property manager to please assist me in getting an estimate to have my 400 sq. ft. apartment repainted because if it was too high, I would like to do it myself. In short, I was repeatedly passed around or ignored until a week before move-out when I called to schedule the paint estimate and the move-out inspection and was encouraged to simply do both at the same time - despite my interest in weighing my options vs. repainting myself. I figured it couldn't be THAT high if they were so nonchalant about giving the estimate on the day of move-out. Otherwise, what would be the point of an estimate? They know how big their units are. When the maintenance person showed up, he had NO IDEA I had painted or that I had been trying to get in touch with him. He literally acted surprised and concerned. He called ANOTHER person to come do the paint estimate, which they informed me would cost $750 ON TOP OF a $270 fee *just to repaint*. The $750 is simply to "change the color". I was flabbergasted to say the least. He offered me the next *5 hours* to purchase paint (which I was told would be given to me when I moved in) and repaint the entire apartment - which is physcially impossible to do in such a timeframe, but could have been done had I known prior. The property manager will use veiled threats "I would hate to have to charge you again if you didn't paint/clean to our satisfaction..." to convince you to let them charge you almost an entire month's rent just to move out. I had looked high and low through my lease and move-out information and never once found information about these charges. But, somehow, this wasn't even the worst part. When I moved in 2 years ago, I signed a lease under the impression I would be moving into a top-floor unit - my only requirement. I even set up all of my utilities to this address. ONE WEEK before move in, Pragna takes me on a tour of my unit and it's 100% not the address I was given. It was a second-floor unit under a family of FIVE who happened to be the loudest children I have ever encountered. I hope whoever moves into my old unit enjoys stomping and screaming at 10pm every night. Pragna's answer? "Oh, I didn't tell you? My bad." That is unacceptable in itself. The real kicker? The SAME thing happened to two of my neighbors who moved in around the same time. I'm certain we were simply all promised the same unit so that we'd be cornered into moving in at the last minute, once they changed our addresses. You will have NOWHERE to park after 7:30pm unless you pay $65 for a reserved (uncovered) parking space - which is outrageous. The people around this area are sketchy af - we recently had a masked burglar looking into people's windows at night multiple times. It is simply not worth anything at all. There are apartments elsewhere that have free parking that's actually available, leasing agents who won't lie and decieve you so they can get a tenant, management that won't sneakily charge you more than you expected at move-out, and maintenance that actually maintains the grounds and buildings. The bushes outside my building were overgrown for the last 2 months - you had to go *through* the branches to get to the door. The cement is sloped in a way that rain pools - which in the winter turns to solid ice. The grounds are disgusting, the dumpsters are constantly overflowing two days after pickup, and the building are falling apart. The day I moved out, I watched roof shingles slide off the roof into the grass in front of me. The laundry machines cost $5 every time you want to do a load of laundry. The pools are constantly down for maintenance. Maintenance won't fix certain issues - like my screen door that wouldn't stay on the track, or my faucet that leaked when you turned it, or the dishwasher that smelled like rotten seafood. They'll look you in the eye and tell you there isn't a problem.

Unprofessional! They rarely answer your call. And they are not responsive with emails. They reply when you're no longer interested. You'll lose your time and money.

STAY AWAY.God Damn This Old F****d Up apartments . stay away from this B******t apartments . over dozen requests . over hundered pest problem . plumbing Issues . our apartment is literally F****g Animal husbandry . Stay away From This Good NeighbourHood with OLD S***ty Apartments . STAY AWAY .im moving out decide to spare my last month rent and escape This S**tHole STAY AWAYSTAY AWAYSTAY AWAY

It's the worst apartment I have ever seen ,they have poor management poor house hold, it's really old something breaks every month couldn't imagine my self in that apartment

All I'm going to say is when you move out make sure you leave the place clean. highly recommended you paint the walls before you move out bc They will charge you if walls are dirty regardless of how dirty they are. I got charge $130 bc they repainted the walls. Get maintenance to come and fix anything you think might be damage doesn't matter how small they are. They will charge your for the littlest things.I got charge $150 for Insignificant damages. That can be patch easily for 5 bucks. We stopped by the next day to get our mail. Just to find out they were planning on remodeling the entire apartment. New walls, new floor, new appliances, everything in that apartment brand new. They already knew this will happen and still charge us. Very disappointed. I was planning to move back but after this experience. I rather stay somewhere else. Think about it before you move here.

full of mice and roaches nobody take responsability on the office maintenance just drive around or the 711 need wait a lot of days for easy request

Stay away and find another place... Also company should help Mr. ilyas and solve the problem.

Fees, endless fees. Also paying for parking is a joke since finding a spot late at night can be impossible due to all the cars without parking stickers that park on site, look elsewhere for an apartment if you have a car. Don't forget about the endless fees to a group of con artists know as conservice, con is even in the name! Edit dropping a star due to issues with the front doors of the apartment buildings. The front door of every foxchase apartment building is secured very poorly by a mag lock which can easily be forced open with a swift yank of the front door no key needed. This method of "opening" the front door of the building was used so much by maintenance and others it got to the point the door of my building would no longer close since it had become so heavily damaged. I put in multiple maintenance requests to have the front door fixed with some being marked complete even no work was ever done. If you're a person who values security look to rent elsewhere because foxchase management doesn't care if you live in a building that can be accessed by anyone who just pulls on the front door.

Current resident- At time of move in, was told only needed a permit for parking in reserved spaces. Parked in the lot (non reserved spaces) to get towed 3 months later. When called, I was told information I was not given when moving in, and was told the office would not reimburse me for the towing fee. Good luck with parking! They set it up to maximize on profit by towing

Don't know where to start. Admin/leasing office is just a mess. You walk in and sit there for an hr or so before someone finally decides to help. Don't even bother calling because no one will answer the phone. ( you will waste your time). Right now they don't have walk ins, is by appointment only. Impossible to get an appointment when they don't respond to the phone. I have literally been sitting on the waiting area and calling the office and no one responded lol. Currently trying to solve a problem i have and it has been no response for a month . I have send numerous emails since July 1st to try to solve the problem before the new bill comes out, guess what? Well the new bill is coming out in a few days and i haven't got an answer nor appointment for the last month. This is a pet friendly complex but i've been told to keep my dog from barking. They charge a pest fee but there's insects everywhere. I don't know why the fee. Very happy with the maintenance department, The only good thing about foxchase. Amazing maintenance team, very professional and attentive. If you submit a request most times is fixed by the next day. Very happy with their response.

The place looks nice but there are numerous safety issues for the residents. Managers don't handle the tenant's concerns properly and seem they don't care about it. I don't recommend this place to anyone that safety is their priority. The place is full of mice.

Words cannot express how stressful it is to occupy these apartments. When my boyfriend, Jeff signed a lease in August, he was so excited to find a decently sized, decently priced apartment in Alexandria. However, I am in tears over how uncomfortable it is to stay in. When we inspected the apartment initially, we noticed bright blue splatters, which appeared to be paint, on several walls throughout the apartment, both upstairs and downstairs, in the den, in the kitchen in every bathroom. It wasn't paint. It was BIRD SHIT. There were birds living in our laundry room and vents. It took weeks of daily harrassment to rectify the issue. Then, in the warm August and September months, our building on Raleigh Ave was COVERED and I mean ABSOLUTELY COVERED with roaches. I even made friends with a girl in the building over our common complaints about this building. I would literally look at the sky when approaching the building to avoid seeing the roaches scattered around my feet. Eventually they were in our apartment, which through several pest control requests, cold weather, and diligent cleaning have seemed to quiet down a bit. But now, as many of the tenants here have complained, my apartment is infested with mice. I have put in several requests and have even noted that there are so many within the walls squeaking and falling and gnawing and running that I cannot sleep at night upstairs. And mind you, we are on the FOURTH FLOOR. If these issues are so intense here, I can't imagine how many rodents and pests really occupy this building. It makes me itch to think about it. My boyfriend and I sleep downstairs when I am here. The Housing Authority of Alexandria will be called this weekend. We also lived right next door to a man with mental health issues, who even threatened that he had a shotgun while he stood listening to us laugh outside of our door. The police came, but even after several formal complaints about his harrassment, nothing was done about it. This review may not prompt any true concern, but hopefully it can deter hopefuls who think they're making a great decision moving here. He signed such a long lease paying over 1700 dollars a month and cannot even sleep in either of the two bedrooms because of the infestations. This is truly a nightmare.

NO RESPECT FOR SERVICE MEMBERS: We are a military household. My BF just got out of the Marine Corps after 2 tours and over 6 years of active service. We provided all the necessary paperwork we were told to provide to waive the early lease termination fee and had a smooth-ish move out process.... UNTIL they emailed us out of the blue, a week after we had already moved out, saying that they made a mistake and that we actually do owe over $2000 in termination fees. Then the office went dark and we haven't been able to contact them, we just keep getting notices that we owe them money. DO NOT MOVE HERE AT ALL COSTS -- THIS IS HOW THEY TREAT OUR VETERANS. Disgusting.

If you frequently deploy for work, do not even consider this place. I received orders to deploy and the company will not work with me. My lease ends while I am overseas and the complex still made me pay the rest of my rent.

Please do not rent there! You get contacted by Melody and Randy both of them are a JOKE! Cons ** No parking at night ** Old buildings always something wrong ** Service requested wait for like 2 months to be taken care ** Service manager doesnt do anything to fix it. ** Your packages will get stolen ** Tenis court? Well is a dog poop area ** Customer service, wait for the call back maybe couple of months ** Hidden charges You will be very tired of living there after the first month!! There many places that you can live for the same amount of rent or even less and with better quality and faster response!!!

Foxchase is cheap for a reason. I recently discover the reason why. Living on the ground floor brings its issues. One of those issues being, the sewage backup into my unit I recently experienced. Maintenance and management were both notified and advised me that they had a professional cleaning company on the way to handle all cleanup and sanitization of both the unit and my own personal property. Company arrived but did not clean much of anything. They left even after I advised them of the sewage still on the floor. Maintenance and management were both notified but being after hours no one was available. So taking it upon myself to sanitize the unit I did so. I contacted management about the issue the following day during business hours. no answer and the call went to voicemail, message left. The next day tried again. Still no answer and voicemail was left. That same day I received a survey for there service. I handled the survey the same way they handled the sewage issue. Poor grades were issued. The next day I finally received a response from management 3 days after the incident, who issued an apology and said that they would contact the property owner (Aimco) due to the situation and see if they could assist me in the damages since it was not of my doing. 2 days later an email was sent "sorry again but damage is on you and your renters insurance." The next day I received a call from the head of maintenance who apologized and said I should not of had to handle that problem at all. He said he will do better and apologized. Now a week later from the date of incident. I contacted management by phone and email again to see if they will assist me in compensation for the problem that was their responsibility and failed at doing so and I handled. Still no response. At this point I am beyond angry, the fact that no one in management seems to care and there almost lack of response has me curious of other health issues such as mine that have taken place. At this time I have contacted the BBB and filed a claim for Aimco's inability to provide a clean living space not of my own doing. I have also contacted Virginia's board of health and human services who will be conducting a health inspection. To investigate if any other tenants may have been exposed to sewage in there units and if proper measures were taken in clean up by maintenance and follow up by management. If this is what you can afford, be warned. There are other issues that will become apparent within the first week or 2 of moving in. Good luck if you decide to live here but if possible don't live on the ground floor unless you like sewage in your home.

If there's ever a chance you'll be deployed or go overseas, STAY AWAY!!! My roommate and I are stuck in our current lease, despite having orders in hand to go work overseas. They are refusing to work with us, and we're getting the lawyers involved. More to follow...

I have only lived here for three months and I hate it here. The people in the office are incompetent at best and never have a direct answer or solution to any of my questions. There online system as serious glitches and ended up charging my card for twice my rent and when I brought up the concern to the office they said it was my fault and that I would have not only pay my bank to cancel the charge but also pay an additional $50 to the apartment complex! The maintenance team are quick and efficient which I find to be the only pro for living in this apartment complex...Parking is impossible to find after 9PM and really inconvenient when you come home from class at 10PM. Lastly the complex only offers Comcast as an internet service provider and this company is the worse and in the 3 months that I have lived here I have had to call Comcast on 4 separate occasions. Let me be frank if I did not have to use Comcast best believe I would not be paying $40 a month for such mediocre service. I am counting down the months until my lease is up because I definitely will not be renewing.

Do not rent from here if you need Metro access. They will no longer be providing shuttle service at the end of February 2017. They haven't even communicated this yet to the tenants (I found out from a 3rd party, who has more courtesy and professionalism then the property mgmt. company). They claim their reason for discontinuing the shuttle service is "the amount of daily riders has decreased" which is simply not true, as the shuttle I take in the morning is often full and some are forced to get off. They also claim other complexes in the area don't offer shuttle service either, which is simply not true. They are just looking to save a buck. Current tenants will be now forced into longer and more expensive commutes.

This place is fine for couples and not for kids. They'll find a way to get you out.

I was a resident from 2016 to 2021. The neighborhood is friendly convenient to everything including Metro 395 and 495. Buses are close by as well. Within 2 miles you'll find ample grocery stores shopping gas stations and restaurants. The Maintenance office is good to work with but the leasing office is not. They're very difficult to get in touch with and have deleted my former review as well as forged my signature on the lease renewal and charged me several months rent when I gave a 60 day notice to move. I wouldn't recommend living here at all. Also there was mice in my apartment every year for 5 years. They don't upgrade their apartments unless the tenants pay $200 more monthly. Very poor management.

Last update: I moved out. I will say that they did send me the check of my original deposit which I'm grateful for. My previous apartments made up fake costs to keep the extra money. Update June 2018: Upon hearing all of our cries of how bad the parking was here at Foxchase, management sent out an email to the residents asking what they could do better. Well, somehow management has made it worse. Basically, instead of having only two or three reserved spots ($40 a month) in each lot, they have decided to turn 50% of each lot into reserved parking. I spoke with them in their office and they said this guarantees that more people will have spots now to park, but that's not it. What it actually is is they want people to pay more for parking. Most who live here pay the $10 fee to park anywhere in the parking lots and management wants to change that that so to bring in the extra cash. The new issue is that now you have to park two to three blocks away to finally find an open spot. Even today I came home and by 5pm every normal spot was full and the "reserved" spaces only had two cars in them. The office told me though that I can either continue paying the $10 in the lot even though I am no longer guaranteed a spot, park for free in the street (though that's a gamble as there are rarely street parking spots available), or pay the $40 a month and have a spot in front of my place. They even told me that most competitor apartments around here charge $50 - $150 to park your car each month so this was still cheaper. My response was that when I moved here partially because of the parking cost and they didn't care. Original: My score is based only on parking conditions at Foxchase. Parking is in tiers. Free on the street, $10 a month for the lot and $40 for a reserved spot. They have so many empty reserved spots and so little overall parking that I just spend 23 minutes looking for a spot and the closest one I could find was half a mile away at 1:30am with barely any street lamps. This is stupid. Also, I've had 7 maintenance requests for my apartment I'm in for problems from the AC unit, electrical, black mold and more. The apartments are inexpensive and large for the area and it's nice to have washing machine/dryer in my apartment but they are old. I would give the apartments a 2.5 out of 5 based ONLY on the cost and the location (which is in Alexandria).

The worst thing as a female renter is having to ask the leasing center, multiple times, WHAT WILL BE DONE ABOUT BUILDING SECURITY?! Oh I guess I should be thankful we're getting fancy door locks now, but damn can you train your staff to have better answers than, "well we can't stop people from forcing the door open". EXCUSE ME?! Your people are a joke, your company is a joke, your business acumen and service skills are a joke, and if I had the chance to do it all over again I would've moved out and not renewed my lease. I waited too long to find another place- but I'm looking now and with luck and planning I'll be out of here SOON. These people have no clue how to run a complex. And these kids they hire couldn't tell a fart from febreze. They have fancy Surface tablets, with big screens and couches in the leasing center, while the apartments are INFESTED, wood is rotting all over, and the front doors can be pried open VERY EASILY- not to mention the poor state of the grounds. I will say that I saw people cleaning up in the mornings, which I am grateful for. They have more customer service skills than the people in the office. Like damn, if I'm visibly upset ONE WOULD THINK to have more positive answers...if the cleanup crew is nicer and more hospitable than your leasing crew, you gotta problem, bub. Don't be fooled by the cheap rent, and seemingly nice apartments, guys...it's not worth it. *sigh* I just don't know why it's so hard to find good apartments in this area. Oh well. EDIT: reading reviews, I see A LOT of waaaaay too positive reviews by ppl who've only made 1 or 2 reviews on google...looks suspiciously like bots or paid reviews smh

My wife and I went here to view these apartments and even signed up for a 1 bed room apartment. But due to family situations we couldnt move in to these apartments. We lost 550$ to them for nothing. Basically these guys are money minded and after having talking to many tenants there, I learnt that they are the same with everyone. The apartments look so old, painted in the exterior but when you get in, you know that they are actually not well maintained. Apartment is tiny and I got this feeling that they have remodelled a studio apartment into a one bedroom apartment just to get more money. When you walk around the area you can see many rats running around. I really pitty the people living in the ground floors. I even heard from another tenant that they actually get many centipedes and millipede worms creeping into their apartments. In a way I am happy that we did not move in to these apartments. Please do not go for the price.

Great location and decent prices but the staff are really rude and disrespectful. If I didn't have a contract with them I would have left long time ago.

Living here is horrible the maintenance staff. Dont due nothing goood. Ashley the manager dont care about the people living here I move out 3 months ago and i dont receive mi deposit. She just say are not . are not . due your job. Dont forget the roaches mice and all cain of pest

The parking situation has gotten so bad that it now violates OSHA standards. Someone at management hired the lowest bidder to start renovations on the apartments. There are now industrial dumpsters that protrude into the middle of the street, threatening to cause a car accident. And if that isn't bad enough, there are forklifts parked on the street, with the forks left straight up in the air with equipment on them, waiting for a gust of wind to blow the equipment off the forks on to a poor residents car or even worse, someone driving or walking down the street, killing them. If you value your personal safety, please rent somewhere else.

The worst place to live not worth living here unsafe for women to live by her self I would never recommend for a woman's to rent this place it can happen anything to her in the apartment complex I am glad my lease ends in 10 days to move out this horrible place!!

I made an appointment to see the apartments & speak with someone about the pricing & get more information. I drove all the way from Falls Church & even confirmed that morning that I would be getting a tour & speaking to someone about moving in. When I arrived there I was greated by a woman who from the start had such a terrible attitude, I believe her name was Jasmine. I told her I was there for the tour & she even confirmed by name & date/time. She said there was noone available to give me a tour & didn't provide any further information. She said I could reschedule for another day if I wanted to. Again, I confirmed the appointment an hour before arriving & was frustrated that they made me drive all the way to Alexandria just to be told that I had to make yet another appointment to see the apartments. No apology at all nor any respect for people's time in this place. If they wanted me to reschedule I would have had no problem, but instead they made me drive all the way there to speak to an unknowable rude woman who did not help nor provide any information. I will be looking at other apartments instead. Don't waste your time coming to this place.

This is not a place to live in!!! First thing it's all kind of bugs sharing the place with you!! Had a nice problem since my husband and I basically moved in. Reported sooo many times and just nothing!! We bought a house and just because we're not officially getting discharged from the military we have to pay $5000 to move out tho our lease is up!

I moved in with my husband since he is renting here. Things were good at first. The longer I've lived here the worse it became. I don't mind a charming older apt. I do mind management not thinking through some of the decisions though. Particularly the noise level. First of all, it's nice that they are upgrading apts to make them more modern, yet when the apt above us was being renovated we received NO notice and there was extremely loud noises during the construction process. At that time I had a new born baby and was home with her during all of this. It took a week to complete and I had to take my newborn baby in my car for her to sleep peacefully. If I had notice beforehand I could have made arrangements for my newborn and I. I'm sure the upgrade was very nice, BUT the new washer and dryer they installed in the apt above us must be ancient and/or cheap because it makes loud noises especially during the last drain and spin cycle. Ours in our apt is really loud too, but what makes it worse above us is that it vibrates and sounds like a loud motor every time the people above us do laundry. I'm very surprised that management would choose such cheap (also very small) washers that make such loud noise especially for a building that is older and harder to barrier noise. We never heard any noise before the renovation. Washer and dryers today are much quieter so I'm not sure which ones management chose to elect but they definitely went the cheap route without thinking through the noise level. We've brought this up to management and although they said they'd check it out, they've opted to do nothing about it and asked if we wanted the people to do laundry only during the day. It's not the tenants fault at all and they are entitled to do laundry however often and whenever they choose. It is the apt management decisions and the fact that they wouldn't put customers service first is a shame. I asked if they could install quieter washers upstairs and even in our apt and nothing was done. It seems like an easy fix and I know there has been similar complaints. For the price we pay I expect a lot more.

If you want to share your space with mice and roaches, this is the best place to be. It is just horrible!!!

Oh m God leasing office staff very unfriendly.

Ridiculous management. When I moved in, the apartment was extremely dirty and with insects. I cleaned and stayed for two years. Everything was written in move in checklist. When moving out, they conveniently misplaced the move in check list and charged me a cleaning fee and paint fee. Charging me for cleaning fee when they receive the apartment in better condition than before.

Everything good about this apartment is overshadowed by the cockroaches. Management has been in multiple times to try to control the issue (at least they've tried), but nothing seems to work. We live with cockroaches. From asking around, it seems that not every single building has a roach infestation, but many do. I recommend not even taking that risk. Being afraid to walk into the kitchen to make dinner or be home alone and encounter a roach does not feel like home. I'm looking forward to the end of the lease.

One word: Mice! I can't wait to move when my lease is up.

The Community Manager (Stephanie Hall) treats low-income renters like second-class citizens. She also encourages this rude, arrogant treatment to some of Maintenance Engineers. Comments such as "HUD who pays your rent" should be kept to herself. Being difficult and uncooperative to HUD recipients is uncalled for and extremely frustrating especially since she seems to not have any overhead.

THIEVES-I would give AIMCO 0 stars if I could. They basically played with my time and money. The managers gave me false information about my possibilities to transfer to the property just to charge me $600 dollars! They promised to give me my money back, and they did! But later, i get a call from collection trying to contact me because I didn't pay the application. oh and try to call fox chase... it is impossible to reach them. They are all rude. I will seek justice.

TERRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE. RATS AND ANTS EVERY WHERE, MANGEMENT IS HURANDUS!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT GET AN APARMENT HERE!!!! I RECENTLY MOVED HERE AND SO FAR I HATE IT. I JUST CAN'T WAIT UNTIL MY LEASE IS OVER...

DO NOT MOVE IN this place! They will charge you Hundreds and tons non-reasonable money! You may need to call maintenance all the time! Living here is suck!

How is it here? It's eh. The main issue I have with this place is parking. You pay for general lot parking which is understandable but it seems like they assign more parking passes than they have parking spots. If you pay to park in the parking lot then you shouldn't have a problem finding a spot. That leads to people parking on corners, perpendicular to the flow of traffic and any other way they can, legal or not, just to park. On top of that the spaces are so tight you can barely get out of your car. My Mercedes has over 13 dings and scratches from car doors and other things hitting it in a reserved spot. My van has paint from other cars on it after they hit it with their door. It's gotten to the point where I'm going to contact a lawyer to see what can be done about the residents and management because I'm not going to kick out thousands of dollars to fix the damage done to my vehicles. Not only that but delivery trucks block both reserved and non reserved parking spots and I've seen the grounds keepers hit car bumpers with weed wackers and lawn mowers. The other issue was mice but after pest control failed to get rid of them I took matters in my own hands and got rid of them in a week.

I am a pre-college student these look unsafe and i have a son. Heck No!!!

This property is very conveniently located and a quite area that is the extent of the good of this property. The office has made my time here an extremely bad experience. During the lease signing with the office I worked with Silvia who made promises that she could not keep. I was told by Silvia that I would be receiving $200 off my first months rent. When I went to pay my first months rent I noticed that the $200 was not taking off the rent. I called Silvia who stated that she would take care of everything and not to worry about it. I waited a little bit to see if there was change there never was and plus they charged me $100 late fee while I was waiting on a call from Silvia. I called Silvia again to see what was going on. When I called this time she said that she was no longer working for FoxChase and was now at a different property under the same management. I asked if she could still fulfill the promise that she made. She told me to talk to management and said that they already were made aware of the issue. I talked to the manger Damon who was not helpful at all. Damon told me that he was not aware of any issue and even if he was there was nothing that he could do about it...great management... Great manager.... They are friendly and nice until you signed the lease..

CORRECTION/EDIT#4: They came and fixed the dryer. I wonder if it never was broke. Sparks were witnessed. Tears were shed. But it's back on. LAUNDRY PARTY!!!! EDIT#3 JULY 2015: ("Jason" hasn't contacted me yet. Thanks for that.) WHAT ABOUT MY BROKEN DRYER THAT AIN'T NOBODY WANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT??!?!?? Such an irresponsible corporation. To people considering living here, just know that your low low rent is going to escalate every year and you will have no option to sign an extension greater than 1 year at said low low rate and management doesn't care about you. Fix my dryer and we can be friends again! ___________________ What about the buses being too full to where people have to stand but then they say standing is illegal, but let people stand anyway? ___________________ What about the people smoking and playing with their dogs outside of your apartment after dark? ___________________ Why can't I give 0 stars? Well now they've cancelled intramural sports by firing the intramural sports director. I believe Foxchase even used to subsidize the teams (i.e. paid a portion of the entry fee). Add that to the shrinking list of amenities, which I was sad to learn FALSELY includes a sand volleyball court. Well, i guess technically they do have a sand volleyball court, but the nets are broken and the sand has virtually all turned to mud (i.e. cat feces). Notice, they've taken down the pictures rather than fixing the nets... it's still listed as an amenity however. One assumes Foxchase, if not AIMCO (the parent corporation) is going through a budget crisis, particularly in view of the ever ascending rental rates (5 increases in 5 years with no option of signing greater than a 1 year lease), and the option of reserved parking (within 5 years, parking has gone from free, to $5, to $10, +, and now the reserved parking spots available for a nominal fee of $50/mo.). Good thing i'm rich. The location is not that great, so i guess what keeps me here is the fact that i already live here and can walk to work. Whatever.

If you like a disorganized management team and a lazy facility team than you've chosen the right place! This is a kicker. Need an inspection? No problem! Count on FoxChase to enter the WRONG apartment, try again only to find out they don't have the keys to get in, and have the audacity to ask ME to BORROW my key then NOT come back to inspect the apartment..and while your at it leave me keyless and locked out of my apartment! Then make me wait 2 hours to be let in..

Stay away from this property or get ready to have a lot of issue which you cannot solve with the management. Double parking fees, broken heater which was not fixed for 5 days during the coldest time of the winter are among a few more problem I encountered and trust me not the biggest problems I have encountered, funny right? First problem I had with this property started very early on my lease. For some reason the conservice bill was charged after the 1st of the month and as a good resident I was punished for paying my rent ahead of time I tried to contact the management as I received no response I decided to contact aimco and even their supervisors rejected that unfairly charged $100. Second, there is always a flat fee for $100 to be charged for you get ready for that! I have never lived in a place which charged $100 for forgetting your key inside this is freaking unbelievable. Third and not least problem was the one that drove me crazy was when they were not able to process a payment from an account which is mysterious because funds available on that account was much greater than what was paid for and was used to make payments, I was charged $50 this time :) Fourth, people park at your designated parking lot which you pay for every single month, and those are the people who do not have parking permit. Not only that the designated spot is so small they keep hitting my car, I have called and called the office guess what no body has addressed this issue, they just send a friendly notice. Let me tell you it was very helpful :) Fifth, trying to get the hell out of this place. Today, I received an email saying that they will charge me $100 to be exact $107 this time :) for notifying them not within the 60 day prior frame. Thank god I have email communications proving my notice was indeed 60 day prior so I will be able to report them maybe get the last $100 :) If you already signed a lease and moving in good luck and if you are looking to live in a new place I would not dare living here or I would rent an apartment near the leasing office so I can easily go there and fight with them every time they did something like that.

If I can give 0 star,.i will gladly give it. The staffs are not helpful. First of all I have problems with parking, get back from wrk around 10 pm and I have to walk in the dark alone for 20-25 mins to get to my apartment.i wasn't paying any parking fee at my old apartment but always got a parking spot near home., they never said anything about reserve parking until I moved in... secondly when I moved in for the first two months my bills remained the same till the third month (January 2018)..when I was gonna pay my bills and realized they added an additional fee to it and when I went to the office to ask them about it ..they just gave me a cock and bill story about how utilities and sewage and stuff..when I came to sign my lease , the lady told me everything has bn added and that the amount of money I will be paying is what I see on my lease but I moved in and it is a different story..I will advice any new tenant moving in here to be very careful with them .. they are not straight forward.. if I have ever regretted anything in my life.. it will be moving into this apartment..I wish I could just leave .. a lesson learnt.. always read reviews before purchasing something..

I moved into Foxchase November 2013. I took the apartment that had the least amount of maintenance issues. I've never paid my rent late, and never had any complaints besides the few maintenance tickets I put in. November 2014 I signed for another year. My initial mistake. MY SECOND YEAR WAS HELL!!! November 7th 2015 I finally let management know I couldn't take the issues anymore and needed to move out immediately (after staying in hotels for the past month on and off because of the mice infestation). Long story short, it resulted in me getting a very rude phone call from their "customer care" department today saying i owe over $7 THOUSAND DOLLARS for ending my lease or I would have to get an attorney! Issue One-My apartment had a serious mice infestation that lasted a few months. I could hear them underneath the floor and in the walls. I killed one by hand and my fiance caught one. Family and friends were afraid to visit, and I stopped cooking at home for fear of catching diseases. I am very clean. Never left food or dishes out. I pay pest control fees to foxchase/AIMCO every month, yet the issue was never resolved. ( I was told it was because of construction to the building behind me). Issue Two-I paid $40/month for a parking space. I went on a 8 day vacation and SOMEHOW Foxchase "mistakenly" had my reserved parking sign pulled up and my car was towed. I came back with 2 large suitcases, a dead phone, at11pm at night, to no car (PS. I also left my house keys in my car while on vacation in case my luggage was lost).I walked to 7-11, with suitcases and caught a cab to the tow company. Although Foxchase later reimbursed me for my tow fee, the inconvenience was horrible. And they only reimbursed me after I had to prove to them, by way of a picture I happen to take, that my car was in a reserved space. Because, SOMEHOW they had no records of me having a space, nor anyone pulling my sign and removing my painted space decal Issue Three-My electric bill was around $300 dollars some months. I had a gas stove and lived alone. After making Dominion Power come out several times to check the issue, a Technician finally said I should check my dryer vents. Foxchase/ AIMCO maintenance came and cleaned my vents and I continued to have the same electric bill issue. Only until I ended up calling Sears and paying out of pocket to have an HVAC tech come out. The tech said my vents were so backed up, that with my vents opened they could barely tell if the dryer was on or off , the backup was so bad and old that you could not see the trash "breathe" ...$99 later the issue was fixed ISSUE 4-I got out of the shower one morning and came downstairs to get a towels out of the dryer, I had no clothes on and a maintenance guy just opens my front door. I called and complained because I put a permanent note on all of my tickets that say, call before entering because there are women in the apartment. It happened a SECOND AND A THIRD TIME. As of 10/31/15, I was all paid up .Here is an insert from a letter I wrote on 11/07/15 "The living conditions are intolerable, with mice running around ( I have picture of the droppings the left around the apartment, and videos of the noises they make while running in between the walls at night.... I cant take it anymore and it's unfair for me to have been staying in a hotel as well, because the pest issue was never fixed. (please see attached pictures, and maintenance letters, and hotel receipts)..." Update 11/29/17. Foxchase had someone reach out to me regarding this issue only to appear as if they were trying to be helpful in reviews. I have not heard from Foxchase since. Instead, they took me to court without sending me any court documents, a phone call or an email. NONE of my information has changed, my emergency contact and contact for non-payment never changed, the address I moved to was the same address on my driver license. I was found guilty in my absence. Someone contacted me with the same issue. If anyone else experienced issues like this and are interested in entering a suit, contact me.

Since zero stars wasn't an option Foxchase shall only get 1. I have said positive things about the staff and the complex before but the move out process topped it off as a terrible experience. I am very displeased with the move-out process. Foxchase Apartments took advantage of my wife and I as we told them we would be leaving the area before our final move-out inspection. We were charged $155 for scratches to the kitchen counter. We have pictures of our kitchen the day we left it was fine. This place seems to do whatever they can to get money out of their residents. I will make sure that all of my military contacts in the area tell their members to not move into Foxchase apartments or any Aimco property period. This place will one day be sued for these outrageous charges and I will laugh and hope they go out of business.

When you walk through the apartments they have set up for show everything looks nice and wonderful and then you sign a lease and move into your apartment. Everything in the apartments is ancient, even if you pay extra for the so called upgrades. The water heater was leaking water when we first moved in and the tech basically said to just keep calling in as it will just continually leak and to call whenever it gets full. Then the drawer in the ancient kitchen was broken and gets improperly fixed. The dryer just does not work. In order to dry just one load of laundry you have to redry like 5 times and regardless of putting numerous service requests it does not work. There are CENTIPEDES, MICE.... yes MICE as in SQUEAK SQUEAK NIBBLE NIBBLE through your food and leave droppings and have you shaking your husband awake in the middle of the night because you hear them, make you sleep with one eye open because you are afraid they might climb into bed with you or with your child, there also are ROACHES! We are not dirty people, we have a cleaning service come weekly and never leave food out or open, this place is just dirty and infested on its own. This place is absolutely not worth the money and you do not actually pay the so called price that you sign the lease for because they charge you an arm and a leg for water sewer and trash and pest control, which is separate from the gas and electric bill that you also will pay for, you'd might as well live somewhere nice and not dirty as you will be paying a ridiculous amount anyhow. Packages get stolen. Delivery people have no way of getting into the building to deliver your packages. Customer service is horrendous, once you sign the lease don't bother calling or even going to the office for any questions or help because well basically they don't care about you anymore. This is the WORST community I have ever lived in and wouldn't wish for my worst enemy to live here. Also don't bother with getting a parking spot as others will just park there and management will not care. I am forced to give this place a one star because if it were up to me they would have a -10000. Save time, money, and hours spent in the middle of the night googling do mice climb on beds and live elsewhere. We are counting the days until we leave.

All you have to do if you want to find out what's wrong with the Foxchase community is go online and read the reviews. They're very bad and quite frankly a true representation of how foxchase is perceived. I lived there for about 3 years and the only reason is because its one of the cheapest places to live in that part of Alexandria that's not section 8. I left foxchase because my wife got a job out of state and after paying the ridiculous 2 months rent fee to break our lease I receive a bill in the mail at my new address for 26 dollars. On top of charging me the last two months water and sewer they charged me 100 for "scuff marks" on the walls and 50 for not returning the ridiculous foxchase ID's that nobody uses. I tried to schedule a move out inspection at a time when I could be there to contest any charges but they explained to me it has to be after I move out. Well I moved out of state and have no plans to return to foxchase for a move out inspection. This just left the door wide open for them to make anything up that was wrong with the apartment and charge me for it. Me and my wife spent hours cleaning everything in that apartment top to bottom and then to loose all of the 300 dollar deposit because the movers might have scuffed the wall when loading the truck up is just bullshit. Which doesn't make any sense because I was told by our leasing agent that every apartment gets new paint in-between tenets, so why they where so concerned about scuff makes and charging me 100$ for them is just crap. The whole foxchase experience has made me very angry and I intend to make my voice heard online in the hopes that I can persuade potential renters to avoid foxchase at all costs. Stealing all of my security deposit was just the icing on the cake and the reason I'm so angry right now. Foxchase is a livable place but most of the community is in disrepair and the maintenance incompetent. I called maintenance to let them know that the interior hollow core wood door that they installed outside on my balcony (and didn't even paint) for the HVAC closet was chewed through by a squirrel or some kind of rodent. There response was quick but they just had some contractor come and replace it because I guess the maintenance crew is to dumb to replace a door. Before I get off topic I didn't have a problem with that, my problem was that the contractor or maintenance never told me they where coming. I was just sitting on the coach one evening when they slammed a ladder against my balcony and climbed aboard. the crew ripped the old door out and didn't have a new one to preplace it with yet so they left me with no door for a day which made it easy for some rodent to get into the rafters and live. I told the crew that an animal was up there and to get it out but they just ignored me and installed the new unpainted hollow core wood door which has probably been chewed through again. I have a bunch of stories just like this about maintenance and the management but my review is already to long and most people wont read it all. If you take anything away from what I've written just know that this place does NOT go above and beyond for there renters if anything they fight you tooth and nail and if they think your wrong they just point to something in the 30 plus page lease about why they can't or won't do it. Everyone hates apartment shopping but there is a ton of places around Foxchase that offer the same and nicer amenities in newer complex's with out all the bullshit for around the same or slightly higher prices.

Foxchase Apartments is by far the worst complex I could've chosen to move into. To start, the apartment itself had multiple cracked tiles (kitchen and bathroom), water coming up from the under the floor(living room/bedroom), both of which took weeks to get resolved when, I was told it would be handled before my move in day. Somehow a family of idk how many, but definately too many (young kids included) ended up on the top floor, which of course leads to late nights(past 11pm), early mornings(7am to start) and, all day every day running around as if they are practicing for the circus 24/7. The biggest issue I have is the disgusting attitudes held by the staff and managers at the main office. Not only do they, not take any responsibility for anything wrong with the apartment itself, but they also seem to care very little about the well being of their tenants when it comes to maintenance,noise complaints or any complaint for that matter. After complaining for a month to the same staff and managers about the apartments issues and ridiculous noise above me, I was told handle it myself, which Isnt my job. The part that really gets me is the lack of respect for me as a tenant, the ill mindset to do nothing to help resolve my issues and the lack of communication between staff, managers and myself. One person has notes, the other doesn't. One claims theyll try to resolve the issue and then you find nothing has been done at all and for a representative of an establishment to intentionally hang up on a tenant, MULITPLE TIMES is just despicable and disgusting business practice. Im sad to say I live here because the staff have made this a living NIGHTMARE. If your looking for terrible staff and endless issues with no help from the people you pay thousands of dollars to, Foxchase is the place to be. If you want to live in a nice, quiet place, with good staff and good pricing.....LOOK ELSEWHERE! Beware what they try to sell you, I promise its nothing like it seems.

I had a friend recently move from here and it reminded me of my experience. I lived here from 2012 to 2015 and there was always some mess going on with our building. The A.C. unit broke down 2 different times and the administrative office seems to take their sweet time with notifying maintenance. Me and my roommate also kept having an issue with mice when we hardly ever used the kitchen let alone left food in there. After hiring an exterminator it was revealed there were multiple holes within the walls they were coming through go figure right? The rent was the most irritating part because it kept going up. When we first moved in we were paying $1,426 monthly for rent alone. The following year they tried to bump it up to $1,785 a month for the same type of lease we had before! We talked them down to $1,602 but for our final lease our rent was raised to $1,860. They weren't willing to negotiate with us that time but luckily that was the last time because I found a new apartment and my roommate was going to separate from the military anyway. The best part was when we had to do an early termination with about 2 weeks left on the lease. They were going to charge us both individually 3,000 and something a piece which came out to $6,300 total! Thing is since my roommate was separating the military his orders would validate us from having to pay a fee but the administrative office would NEVER pick up the phone or respond to voicemail or emails. I took this as them not trying to honor the military clause which is FEDERAL LAW by the way and made an appointment with the legal office at the base I worked at. Fortunately for Foxchase they contacted my roommate the day I was going to take action. They said they were "validating" his separation orders. After that 3 weeks of trying to contact them they finally removed the outrageous fee and we paid a small fee for cleaning the apartment but man I always recommend people to look elsewhere to this day. Maybe the management has changed by now and I seriously hope it has because the actual apartments aren't bad at all the management just ruined everything for us.

DO NOT LIVE HERE. you will be pretty much living & sharing your apartment with mice. Maintenance comes in to check for mice and say oh there is no way for the mice to come into your apartment. Yet you catch mice and mice droppings every night. I had to move 2 months before my lease was up because i just had a newborn. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE APARTMENTS

Disgusting apartments for the price you pay - I was paying around $1,300/month and had year-round spiders and house centipedes in my apartment. Out of the two years I was there, I saw 5 or 6 roaches come out from under my fridge - and I lived on the top floor! My microwave broke, my fridge leaked for the entire time I lived there (even after maintenance "fixed" it at least 3 times), my balcony door handle fell off twice, I had ants in my bathroom, my toilet started leaking and to repair the damaged tile in front of the toilet and fridge, they pulled tile up from next to my washing machine, so I had just bare wood floor. Not to mention after having a new toilet installed, I had to submit a completely new service request to have tile replaced in front of it since the new one was smaller and didn't fit in the space of the old one. Why they would think I would just want to live with tile missing in front of my toilet, I'm not sure - oh, and the handle on the new toilet was cracked when it was installed and I had to submit a new request for that too...I feel like it was just always something. Anytime I went to the office or called, the staff were pretty rude and short with me. I even explained all the problems I had during my move out interview, and the woman marked my move out sheet with "price" being the reason for moving. That was one of the reasons, but I just feel like they weren't that interested in any other issues I had. I would absolutely NOT recommend living here!

Please make sure to do a little research on this apartments before signing a lease, to make my experience shorter I'll tell you what's my issue... I live in the 1st floor, 1st, mices 2nd, centipedes a lot of them 3rd, humidity the smell is so bad, the walls turn out green and last but not least ants everywhere in my kitchen bathroom bedroom living room in my sofa in the floor everyweree you can think of but they don't do anything, now u saying why you still there well my lease is almost over and I am so happy to move out can't wait... my husband and I are waiting for our 1st baby and saw this place our future but 6 months later I was extremely unhappy this wasn't what I wanted for my baby so for personal reasons we had to renew our lease I was sooooo mad but now I'm not making the same mistake we moving out, hopefully people read this reviews before signing to live here, love the location and everything in this place but I'm not a friend of insects.

I applied for an apartment, but was still shopping around for a better one. These apartments are small, no washer/ dryer, have closed living spaces and are frankly way overpriced. Anyway, I was told by the leasing agent that if in 72 hours I did not sign the lease, I would no longer have the apartment and my security deposit would come back to me ($500). This was not the case. A month later, paying my credit card bill I figured I would call and ask when I should expect to see the refund. The regional manager was the least helpful person I've ever dealt with. He did not care what I had to say, offered no help toward the situation and was not empathetic at all. I can't imagine if I lived there and had an issue arise. I wouldn't trust this place with "customer service" like this. I am now out $500 during a pandemic; thanks Foxchase!

appliances and maintanance is always problem , once a month you will have problem , foxchase just charge money for no reason you have to pay at least 1.000 when you move out , i dont recommend anybody , the worst community

Don't buy any promise that may be given to you by this property. I was refereed by a friend to this property and went on the 11th of October near COB as my appointment was given to me. I had a place that I already paid the rent until the end of the month, so I was looking probably two or three days before the month ending just to move my stuff and clean the the apartment I am vacating. I was told by the leasing consultant that they have a promotion if i move in by the 15th that I will get a one month free and $1000 gift card with certain rent, if I want to move in by the 23rd that I will only get one month free and little higher rent, after the 23rd I won't get any promotion and the rent will be even higher. The leasing agent stressed if I don't pay the $50 application fee and $500 withholding fee, that the apartment may vanish overnight as people may reserve it online, and she was very pushy as it is really her job. I have trusted her, after all she seems trust-able and friendly. She then gave a list of what I need to do next and emailed me the instruction as well. This was all on Wednesday COB. The next two days which is Thursday and Friday, I had to spent time to set up the Washington Gas bill, dominion power bill and search for renters insurance on my work breaks. Then I set up the Washington gas bill and dominion power bill to my name believing that they would have been trust worthy and keep their word in tact. I have also tried to set up my renters insurance, but there was phone tagging between my and the insurance agents I was trying to buy the premium from. I was not aware of that I had to have the insurance before the signing the lease. I received a personal phone call from the leasing agent from her cell phone the day I was suppose to move in. There was no follow-up calls between my visit and the actual move in date. The agent told me to make sure I finalized the renters insurance before I walk-in the office and offer if I could not get the insurance that they can provide me with $14.95/month. I told her i have an insurance for $115/year which is about $9. 58/month so I told her I don't need theirs. The agent said to send her the quote before I buy it to make sure it has all they required. I forwarded the insurance quote which she reviewed and told me it is ok to buy it. This was around noon on the day I was suppose to move in. I finalized the insurance and paid for the year and forward the receipt to the agent. She replied all is great and told me to go sign the lease and take the key. while I was walking in to the leasing office, I received an email saying the insurance was starting at midnight which is about 8 hours later from the time of signing the lease, and unless I backdated the insurance or buy one month insurance from them, that I can't sign the lease despite that making me wait for about one hour in the waiting room although I got there on time. The insurance agent calmly explain to her there is not way to start insurance on the same day the premium is paid, and said it will start at EOD midnight at 12:01 AM. The leasing agent then tried to get me buy their renters insurance for one month although she knows my insurance is starting in about 7 hours at this time. Then, I was told to come tomorrow, I went the next day, and I was told I am not qualified to get the $1000 gift card anymore as it expired the day before, and they said the corporate office is not willing to extend the offer for me. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. Then I calmly asked if they can't honor their promise, to cancel my application and refund my $550. Then they said you just passed the 72 hour cancellation period and you won't get your money back. Then they cancelled my application stating that "APPLICANT DID NOT WANT TO MOVE IN" and they suggested if I move there with in the next 120 days, I will be able to $500 credit towards my rent. If you are by all means been promised anything from this property, it means nothing as they can just change their mind at any time. YOU SHOULD NOT TRUST 'FOXCHASE APARTMENT ALEXANDRIA"

The apartment is unbearable. The doors and woods broke within couple months of moving in. The public parking is always packed. And they charge for everything. Make sure you read the contract carefully, no like you can stop them from charging you for whatever reason they come up though. Be aware of the hidden fees. Or stay away if you can.

Just adding to my previous review to give an example of living at Foxchase. Went down this morning to the on-site laundry room and the washing machine and dryer (and there is only one for the entire building) have been removed. No notice, no email, nothing. Called immediately and was told they had no idea why. Sent 4 emails, two automatic reply as they were out office and two have not replied. This is a perfect example of the kind of "concern for residents" you can expect! They may "promise" sufficient services but no guarantees!

Great maintenance services, very friendly and professional. The apartment that I got was clean and comes with brand-new appliances. Management could do a better job with trash management, pest control, and exterior design with more trees and frequent grass cutting. Updating the review because of a very rude leasing office agent - Mahlet. Mahlet did not provide me with full disclosure of the fees and move-out date procedures of Foxchase. Additionally, she mentioned about fees that I can save by completing the application on the same day with showing after the showing (would have been much nicer to know of that deal before schedule showing). After the feedback through phone which was 3 months ago, Mahlet remembered my face and has been so rude everytime I came to the office to have direct communication (both my boyfriend and I noticed her difference in communicating with me). She never looked at me once in the face when I tell her about my issues, either typing on her phone or looking at her laptop. She even mentioned that she was not required to look directly in my face (how rude). The other staff, overheard the conversation, did nothing and acted as if everything was fine. Do not live here if you don't want to deal with stressful leasing staff.
