Maintenance gave one of my neighbors the skeleton code and he often uses the code to gain access to other people's apartments. He admitted to switching his old fridge out with somebody else's. I know for a fact that he used that code to root around in this young girl's place because he told me all about it. The maintenance workers noticed the contents of my apartment and recognized me as an adult film star. They decided to talk my ear off often about the adult film industry as well as loom around my female friends when they were in the neighborhood. I never disclosed my identity to anyone there (except for the foxchase employees who had access to my apartment). This is a very "My First Apartment" community. You get a ton of teenagers/college students up in those apartments with their friends who get wasted and tug at the locked door until it opens (essentially breaking the lock- so the front door was unlocked for a good majority of my time living there). The upstairs neighbors stole clothes out of my laundry load- we all use the same laundry facility in the basement. (I caught one of their frequent visitors wearing a floral shirt of mine that a relative sent me from Hawaii- unmistakably mine). I ended up having to call the police enforce some manner of rule into the building (those who stole my clothing were young military men who tried to intimidate me by threatening to jump me). I was told by Foxchase's management that the men were "about to move out" so, I should just "avoid them". The cockroaches were a huge problem in the beginning and had to be treated frequently throughout my first three years living in foxchase. The MICE never really went away. You could always hear them in the walls during the winter. I was planning on living here for a few more years because the price was alright for me and it was so set back that I felt safe blending in until the morning of President's Day when some old woman who works in management came banging on my door, shouting at me about how she smelled weed in the building. She issued threats and critiqued my lifestyle (my dog was nervous and had peed on the floor- this was like 8am on a holiday, so I wasn't alert or coherent in the least). After passing this judgment, goofing on my dog's accident, and making disparaging remarks about my colorful lifestyle, they all grinned at me like I was a fool and carried on their merry way. One good thing: N. Imboden St. parking is free, so you and your guests can go ahead and park there all you want without paying for a permit. Go nuts. I know I'm gonna be telling out-of-towners to park there and uber into the city (just because I have an axe to grind with foxchase at this point).

0/10 I do not recommend. These people had a unit available online that I found interest in. I set an appointment to view a replica unit. I liked it.. I then applied and got approved. I put down my security deposit. I received the lease to sign just for them a few weeks later to snatch it from under my feet like a rug. Apparently the tenant in the unit I applied for "didn't want to leave" anymore. Why post the unit as available and have me go through the whole process if you all allow people to do that? I hired movers. Friends and family took off work to help me. They really wasted my time. They offered me another unit for the same price but half the size with no balcony. It is not what I wanted. I was highly disappointed. Apply at your own risk.

Apartments are cramped and in bad repair. Expensive. Admin office workers are lazy and unhelpful. Not to mention, the finance office will find any way possible to cheat you out of more money. My experience was so negative that, for the first time in my life, I am suing.

Literally only giving one star because there isn't an option for zero. I am sitting outside of my apartment in the hallway for pest control issues for the 4th or 5th time this month!! If I see another mouse, something in me is going to snap!!!! This apartment complex couldn't care less that the living conditions are not up to par for its residence. The maintenance team apparently came to fill all the holes in the apartment so why am I still seeing mice?! When I pay 1200?! I could live somewhere else!!! I'm so wholly dissatisfied. PLEASE SPARE YOURSELVES!!

Dodgy customer service. Could not log in to my account to play rent this month until after they charged a late fee. I called 3 days prior, and the representative said someone would call me in the coming days to help me log in. Called again today and the guy never put in a log that I called with an issue. So the girl had to assume I was lying to her about calling with an issue and I was treated as I liar when trying to explain the situation. So due to aimco/foxchases records keeping negligence I'm stuck with a fee for an account I could not log into and they are treating me as though I am lying about ever calling in the first place. Maintenance is A-, there are problems but the team is quick to respond and resolve issues (except i've been waiting for them to re-glaze the bathtub for about 4 months, they said they would schedule somebody to come in but no luck yet.). I was ready to give this place 4-5 stars, but they treated me very poorly with this exchange I would not recommend giving money to this place especially if you are a young professional with a heavy travel schedule. Thank you aimco/foxchase for treating me like a liar when I was overseas on a business trip and could not resolve this in person. I hope that late fee was worth another poor review. At least this helps add some transparency to your customer service and why you get so many poor reviews.

Mice. Lots of mice. You can hear them running around in the walls. Maintenance can't seem to find where the entrance is so that it can be sealed. Gross.

Lived here for 2 years. Had a horrible experience with the apartment falling apart, inability to coordinate with residents when there where other issues, and a lack of the complex know who was living in the apartments. There was a family of 9 to 10 people living in the smallest one bedroom apartment size for well ever a year in my building. Would not recommed Foxchase. Also, I've had an issue with my toilet ever since we have moved in and every month or so someone has to come out to "fix" the issue.

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.

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.

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.

Everything breaks. The kitchen is outdated and the counters/cabinets are cracked and old. The yard is not taken care of and mushrooms are growing all over the place. Trash is constantly littering the grass everywhere. Cockroaches! If you don't call and complain, they won't come take care of them. The shower tiles are literally caving in. The only plus is that the maintenance staff is great. Otherwise, it is over priced for the quality and I cannot wait to move.

first i had mice problem for a couple of months. Then their towing company towed my car twice once was a rental car and once was a new car that didnt have a sticker yet. Each time on a weekend and I had to pay 250$ x 2. Washer and dryer broke multiple times. They did repair them in 1 day or two though. Then when my rent was supposed to be monthly 5 days before moving out they said they needed 60 days notice! Even though i talked to them over the phone twice about the rent being "monthly" they failed to warn me they need this long notice. What is the purpose of monthly rent if you need 2 months notice!. Anyway dont live here unless you have to.

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.

All was well until about a month ago when I started having issues with Mice. My experience with the staff after this has been HORRIBLE. I am uncomfortable in my own home and despite numerous requests to investigate the root cause still NOTHING. I get that because it is an apartment community and you don't know how your neighbors live that there are certain things you can't control but not returning calls or investigating the issue when it is clear that there is a problem is poor, unsanitary, slum lord management. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Oh and don't be fooled by their "special" move in rates. They will likely hike your rate up 20% of more after the first year.

The outside door didn't lock, had packages stolen , management was impossible to get in touch with, felt unsafe living here, my building smelled like smoke from one of the other units. This was one of the worst apartment complexes I have lived in and wouldn't recommend it to anyone

I've been living in a Foxchase apt for almost 2 years. Rent prices and service fees are very high and both increase at an alarming rate per month. If you're looking to live in a complex of poorly constructed buildings, zero sense of community, unresponsive management, and random trespassing into your home by maintenance personnel, Foxchase is the place for you! Obviously, do your research to determine what's best for you but I would not recommend the Foxchase/Aimco community to anyone.

Would give 0 stars if I could. From start to finish this was by far the worst apartment I have ever lived in. Immediately the first thing I noticed upon moving in was the rampant cockroach infestation. When brought to the attention of the leasing office they were not at all helpful and I dealt with this roach infestation the whole time I lived there. Ironically enough the roaches weren't the worst part about living here. I also moved into an apartment with no hot water because the hot water heater was broken upon moving in and leaking all over the floor. Once again leasing office was not cooperative getting this fixed and overall the whole time I lived there it was impossible to get in touch with maintenance. From start to finish they found ways to scam me out of my money with random unnecessary charges and processing fees. They changed my lease from the end date being June 22nd to July 1st on my resident portal without consulting me just so they could scam me into paying rent for the 1st day of July. They also require you to pay for them to CLEAN AND PAINT the apartment when you move out (another thing I have never seen my whole life renting) So many charges like this that I have never experienced at any other apartment complex in my whole entire life. Not to mention how unsafe this apartment was as well. I was first notified of people staring into apartments through windows after only a week of living here! After reading other reviews it seems that many other people had safety issues regarding stalkers and peeping toms as well. To make matters worse the lock on the main door to my building never worked in the 14 months that I lived there despite me and many other tenants repeatedly bringing this to the leasing office's attention. And last but not least, they claim to be non smoking yet the whole apartment constantly reeks of marijuana! Seriously rent ANYWHERE else, I've rented apartments in the dmv my whole life and have never experienced anything like this.

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.

I have never cared about writing reviews but after living in this place I had to write one to help people avoid this place. My car got towed last night after living there for 9 months. I parked at the same spot every day but they towed my car last night just because! They will charge you money for everything. I'm living by myself and a dog my water and electric bills are $60 and up! I asked the admin they said I have to pay for people a whole building which is not fair for some one who work all day and come home to sleep like me. Oh yeah the do have a ton of people who live there for free for a lot of issues. Do you want to pay for those people? They don't work and have a big family. The entrance doors to the building are always broken . Do yourself a favor and avoid this headache. Office staff is not helpful at all they could care less to be honest. For the amount you will pay you can do a lot better elsewhere. Before you sign the lease they will treat you wonderful after you move in you won't hear nothing from them. I have called and let the messages every time when I need help. No one ever call me back ! Staffs are rude! I don't know how those people are working as a costume service if the have bad attitude and lazy like that. Again do not live here! Worst place I ever live in my life. Only thing good is location!

Becareful! This company is a scam. Don't pay if you're asked to do so. They'll charge you with a $50 application fee and reject it with no reason.

I used to have a great review for Foxchase posted, but now I am changing it after moving out. I always paid my rent, completely cleaned the apartment after moving out, and was a good lessee. Even paid hundreds in fees when I paid my rent a few days late one month AND when I paid my rent EARLY but got charged $100 late fee when I suddenly got sewer/trash charges on my account. I feel like AIMCO is stealing from me. This is a time of hardship that the whole world is going through and you already took my deposit. Do you really need $550 more from me because you wouldn't accept my VERBAL numerous phone calls requesting the price increase in my rent to see if I should renew?!?!?! This company steals from you, DO NOT MOVE IN.

If I had the option to give less stars I would seriously. We moved out in August based on the fact that Foxchase is literally the worst place to live. I bought a new car and had to constantly worry as people would park their cars so close that I had to squeeze into my car on a daily basis. I would watch people swing open their car doors and hit other cars and not even flinch. During bad storms branches fall everywhere including on top of your car leaving dents and scratches. That's just the outside. Inside the apartment we had so much mold in our bathroom it was ridiculous. No matter how much I would bleach it, it would always come back full force. Our ceiling leaked constantly... on the top floor and they would come and just paint over it.The pests that you would find in the laundry room were crazy big and very brave. The smell of weed and curry is permanent in all hallways of the building and children run freely up and down the stairs at all hours of the night. Then they have the nerve to charge nearly 1500 dollars for a 460 sqf apartment! RENTERS BEWARE!

**Edited to add, this person commenting back to reach out is doing nothing and is probably not capable of enacting change at the actual complex level. For those looking at these reviews to determine if you should move here and like that someone is commenting back, it's not realy. Don't move here. It's not worth the literal headaches.** When I first moved in I would have reviewed this apartment complex a four or a five but after a almost two years I can't rate Foxchase any better than a one for several reasons. One: parking was adjusted and half of the spots in each lot were removed to make room for more reserved parking spaces. You have to pay for the parking lot access anyway so creating more reserved spaces is an unnecessary money grab. We were told it was because so many people were on the wait list for reserved spots, but there are still empty spots three months later (so much so they needed to offer incentives to get people to sign up before the end of the year). The removal of these spaces requires people who work late to need to park on the street or several blocks away though we are paying for parking lot access. Two: this is a non smoking community but I have neighbors that smoke cigarettes and weed at all hours that comes into my apartment and I've called the office three times to complain and yet nothing has been done about it. Three: My cat has killed two mice and a baby squirrel that have some how made it into my apartment but maintenance doesn't know how they got in (this has never happened at any other place I've lived in) Four: the rent increase year over year is astounding, I've never had such an increase in my yearly renewal at any apt I've ever lived in. I wasn't able to move during my renewal this year based on the costs associated while planning a wedding, but I'm not living here after the next renewal.

Hello Everyone, I am writing this review because Foxchase was my very first apartment on my own and I am disgusted at the treatment and unnecessary charges after my move out. When I first moved I was paying for reserved spot but they did not have that spot ready so I was given a reserved spot across the street. They take a very long time in repairing things, I've had my shower handle replaced multiple times and the last time he replaced it he put it on opposite so hot was cold and cold was hot. I did not bother to call again because I knew it would take forever and I knew I would not be renewing my lease. They don't have a doorbell so you have to walk downstairs to open the door for guests. They have a terrible rodent problem which I called about but they did nothing to address the issue. They are roaches in the front of the building and inside. During my year stay I saw one mouse and come to find out there was a huge hole behind my stove and a hole behind my washing machine. The only good thing I can say about this place was my neighbors, my packages were never touched and everyone pretty much minds their business. When you first walk into my apartment it is pitch black because they have no lighting at the entrance which was a huge inconvenience. I had to walk with my phone flash light on every time I came home from work. I wish I had seen these reviews prior to moving in or else I would have avoided this bad experience. They contacted me several times to not move out then charge me $140 for uneven tiles in the bathroom, and $145 in bathtub surface damage for discoloration. Let it be noted that I also had to pay a cleaning fee of $95 but yet was charge for discoloration in the bathroom. I took care of the apartment as if it was my own but if you are moving into this complex note EVERYTHING! Any crack, nook and cranny because if you don't they will charge you in the end. It was my first time on my own and definitely a learning experience. I do not recommend this complex. They have a high turn over rate, for since I've been there 13 months I've seen countless tenants move in and out. Do your homework and learn from my mistakes, do not move here.

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.

Hello ! This is Berk Sayal ! I had an appointment today. I have a complaint for your company and your workers.When I come to the lease office, the man was very rude who is sitting front of the computer at the table. He asked directly" when do you move to apartment " it was a bad question! Do you treat to your every guest is like this ? is this your service quality? I've been talking with Jen for 2 weeks yours regional manager. I told her first, I would like to look at the apartment and then I will decide when I can move to apartment. Also, when I arrived to number 103 building, there was a code system on the 204 door. Why Didn't they say the code to me? I waited 30 minutes at front of the door. I didn't surprise. It was a bad greeting the costumer. it was bad guidance the costumer. I never come over there. I will never recommend any to my friends. I am writing this email. because you have to know this Dear Manager and talk them. !

Transparency is an issue here. On my move-out statement, they charged me for bills that are not communicated. Reaching out by phone call requires a number attempts patiently. On the residents app, there's a menu with a title "move out instructions" which opens to a blank page.

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.

Me and my husband have been waiting for a parking spot for four months. The leasing office has so much turnover that none of the employees know what they're doing. The building is noticeably old with a terrible paint job. The units have been poorly maintained throughout the years. The laundry facility continues to get smaller and more expensive that I've starting driving to a laundromat. They charged us a late fee of $100 for a water bill that was definitely paid on time. Our toilet liner was broken, water was leaking on the floor. I'm fairly certain there's mold under the floorboards but maintenance WILL NOT look. I was told the contractor would be in touch to set up a visit to replace the flooring... three weeks ago. The few times I've walked to the pool it has been padlocked so we're not getting any use of the amenities. The dog park is small with no shade, and uncut grass. I have absolutely nothing good to say about these buildings or the customer service. I recommend looking elsewhere for a place to live!

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 here. If it seems to good to be true, it's because it is. The rent is so cheap because the roaches are paying the other half! I have never had roaches and I've only lived here 1 month. In my first two weeks, I was watching tv and a roach just crawled across the wall. Disgusting. That was the first of many encounters. In addition, I've had to contact maintenance 3 times in under a month for multiple reasons. On my move in day, none of my files or keys were ready. It was as if I wasn't even scheduled to move. I didn't get my mailbox key until recently (after I had to go to the leasing office and request one). Never had this many issues in my life. I regret signing here!

Nightmare!!! Nothing good to say. Poorly maintained mice infested units. Laundry facilities are disgusting and cannot get machines fixed. Dog and cat piss in the hallways. Maintenance are not certified plumbers or electricians so it often takes 3 or 4 times to get anything fixed. No one is every reachable.

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.

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 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..

Don't get sucked in by the low rent you are quoted. They nickel and dime you another 10% or more. You'll pay for your own pest control, like ants coming out of the wall which you didn't cause. You'll have to get insurance for the landlord (not normal renter's insurance). The service companies they use will charge you even more. The billing company they use charges you to send you a bill. Your utilities are outrageous and possibly fraudulent. DO NOT MOVE HERE. Paying for your own pest control is all your need to know about this place to ward you off. Check out ants coming from the basement. YOU'LL have to PAY for their removal.

I lived in Fox Chase for a year and the only good day was the day I moved out. The day I moved in the apartment was disgusting, so disgusting I had to go clean it myself, something the apartment complex supposedly does . In the spring time ants were a big problem as they were coming from everywhere, the apartments supposedly spray but I never saw pest control there . Parking is terrible and it was a waste of money to pay monthly when I had to park on the street every night. They do not take care of the grassey areas as I had a dog and had to be very attentive as often times I would find shattered glass in those areas. Also the people that work there would throw their food all into the grass areas instead of a dumpster. When it comes time to move out they will charge you a $90 cleaning fee which I was told I did not have to do as long as it was move in ready. After spending a day cleaning they still charged me the cleaning fee and the place was spotless compared to how it was when I moved in, and this was on top of me going to the leasing office and being told they would credit my account for the $90 which they never did. This was a terrible place to live and I would never recommend this to anyone the staff is not friendly and just want you out of their hair. If you are looking into moving in Alexandria, don't move here there are much better apartments to move to.

I have been waiting for my deposit refund check since my move out in July. When I contact management to get more information on when I can expect to receive it, they give me the run around and then never reach out with an update. At this point, I am not expecting to receive my check and will unfortunately have to pursue external escalation since there is no resolution internally.

DO NOT MOVE HERE! There are pro's and con's to everywhere you go, and I'm going to list both with extreme honesty. Please read this and seriously consider all of my con's before you even think about moving to this place. Let's start with con's: 1. There is absolutely NO insulation between these apartments. You can hear every single noise from your neighbors. Apartments all usually have horrible insulation, but these were EXTREMELY horrible. Every. single. day. multiple times a day I could hear my neighbors alarms go off, every phone call she made or received, as well as EVERYTHING she talked about. You can also here every time they shower, flush a toilet, open their door, or go in their closet. 2. The ventilation is horrible. You can smell absolutely every strong smell from every apartment. Every time someone cooks, especially with spices, your whole apartment fills up with the smell, and there's literally no escaping it. For example, one of our neighbors cooked cabbage one night ( we all know how disgusting that smell is) and the WHOLE building smelled horrible. Multiple neighbors called the office, and each other with complaints on how horrible it was to even be in your own "home." 3. The particular building we lived in (4478 Raleigh) is the grossest building you will ever be in. The building hallways permanently smell from all the cooking, and garbage people leave everywhere. The security door was broken for a few months, I put in a request to have it fixed, and then the next day someone broke it again. After that it was broken for another 6 months. Also the widow, the only window in the common area of the building, is always open and the screen is always broke, so i hope you enjoy bugs flying into the building and your apartment. Also outside the building expect to find dog poop everywhere. 4. You will have a bug problem. Ours was ants, and nothing was ever fixed or done about it even though you pay monthly for pest control. 5. Parking is horrible. There were days that we had to park blocks away from our building. We eventually paid to park in the parking lot ($15 a month) but then they towed our car. 6. Water. So when you live at Foxchase your water, sewer, trash, and pest control bills are through Foxchase with a utility service called Conservice. Now you would think that you would be charged for the water and sewer amount that you, in your individual apartment home, use. NOPE! You pay a ratio of what everyone uses. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I PAY FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S WATER USE!!! Our gallon usage (for two people) averaged about 6,500 gallons per month! That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever encountered at an apartment complex. Paying for someone else's water and sewage. 6.5 THE WATER WAS SHUT OFF WITHOUT NOTICE ALL THE TIME! The first year we were there, it was shut off once a month, for multiple hours, without any notice. The one time we received notice was from our neighbor because she was having the work done, so she knew it was going to be shut off. There are more cons, but unfortunately google has a limit and won't let me post everything. I had 9 major explained cons, so just know there is more. Pro's: 1. Location. It's honestly located in on of the perfect areas. You have the foxchase shopping center right down the road, which is very nice to walk to, and have availability to. You also have a walking park right next to the shopping center, a library down the road, and it's very close to 395N to get to Arlington/DC. 2. The maintenance people were some of the best. They were all helpful, fast, and extremely nice. One man in particular we had visit out apartment multiple times, I believe his name was Melvin (older gentleman, bald, has grown kids), and he was simply the best. If Melvin was working on your apartment, you knew things were going to be done correctly. You can also always plan to have a delightful conversation with him. I hope you read this and other reviews and truly sit down and think before you decide to live here. If you do stay away from 4478 R.

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.

DO NOT LEASE HERE. Please refer to my other review - you'll know the one. Google wouldn't allow me enough characters to describe everything that is a scam about this community. I moved out yesterday. I had been attempting to renegotiate my lease renewal when my technical "notice date" came. Foxchase gave me 8 DAYS from the time the renewal offer was sent to the day I was supposed to give 60-days notice. I was actively speaking with the property manager over this time and not ONCE was it mentioned that I needed to give notice prior to Foxchase sending the new renewal offer. I'm looking at a $130 late notice charge and another $120 in "final utilities" - which I've already paid for when I paid $400 for the final 7 days at the start of august. What is this even for?? This apartment complex will bleed you dry - I feel sorry for those who can't afford to buy themselves out of these hidden fees and move somewhere else. Do yourself a favor and turn around and go somewhere else. I'm begging you.

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!

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.

The apartment itself isn't that bad and the location is ok, its the management that makes a person not want to stay. The person who handled my paperwork to convince me to lease here told me that the average utilities for a 1 bed with 1 occupant would be about $50. I'm not holding anyone to this but when you ask what utilities average you expect something close. The minimum water bill is $50 which is billed through the apartment management (you pay for the billing service) so add in electric and gas and bills are much higher. They require online documents to include the initial lease. When this was finalized the website to do this was down. I was also not in Virginia. The person who I was working with was practically in a panic telling me that I would not get the rent amount I agreed to if I didn't sign the lease that day. If I had backed out it would have put me in a bind for a place to live. I had to give a code to him to allow him to sign it for me. He supposedly read everything but that was a lie. When I moved in I had to give my apartment key to maintenance so they could fix the blinds that were promised to be fixed prior to move in, no one seemed to think this was odd or cared that I gave up a key I signed for. About a month in water started leaking into the bedroom. I placed a service order that took three days to be filled. The person who went to fix it called me three times at work to "discuss" the leak. He spent most of the time telling me that I didn't close the shower curtain or had the water angled wrong, as if I didn't know how to shower without making a mess. I repeatedly pointed out that there was no water on the floor in the bathroom just in the bedroom. When I got back that day a letter reflecting the service call was left which stated something in the shower had been replaced. I guess he just couldn't justify not spending the money to replace a part that was leaking without risking me taking further action to resolve the issue. I received a letter of non-payment on my door a couple months later that was dated for the pervious year with someone else name. I had to make multiple phone calls to get that straightened out which ended with someone saying "oops that happens" and I should disregard. I had complained about noise at 2am from my downstairs neighbor but all they would do was send an email to everyone in the building. However, we got multiple letters telling us we would pay a $500 fee for smoking near the building or on our balcony, a second offense is $1000. But the worth experience was trying to move out of this place. I am a military veteran and dependent. We have orders, which too forever to get, but finding someone to work with me to end my lease early was a nightmare. I tried to explain my situation but was told sorry can't help and I don't work at that location, when asked who else I could contact. Beside the stress of having to continue to pay rent and prepare to move overseas when I finally got the orders they gave me a move out date after my lease ended! After many phone calls and emails (I wanted everything documented) they finally agreed to let me break the lease three weeks early. Upon move out I was charged $95. Yes the paperwork says you have the option to select that they clean the apartment for you and that it only costs $90, but they don't care. They will charge you regardless because you have to sign a document when you hand over your keys agreeing to it and when you electronically sign the documents to move out you don't have a choice but to opt for them to charge you. This place is a joke. Every time I was in contact with maintenance they were condescending and the management ignore you unless you continuously make a fuss. I you chose to live here make sure you read every line of everything you agree to. The location is good if you don't mind riding the bus for at least 30 minutes to get to the metro. Overall its pretty quiet and wood floors are better than carpet. The apartments look nothing like the models they show to get you to sign a lease.

The leasing office NEVER answers the phone for current residents. For some reason they put in a work order which requires me to remove everything from al of my cabinets within less than 24 hrs on a business day. I have a job. If it's not empty, they'll charge me $75. I've called TWICE and cannot reach ANYONE. It's been an on going issue where you can never reach someone at the leasing office. Hire a secretary if you can't seem to have available staff!!!!! And give your residents more of a notice because I can guarantee you my cabinets are not going to be emptied.

LOOK ELSEWHERE!! You get what you pay for, people. Rent is cheap(er) than in the surrounding area for a reason. I read the reviews and didn't listen because it was cheap and I definitely paid the price of my sanity living here!! There is a reason there are so many vacant units. Rent increases once your initial lease is up and is over 10%!! Once you've signed the lease, expect the property managers to go silent. It's impossible to get ahold of them by phone. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything your neighbors are doing 24/7. (Yelling, fighting, crying, you name it, you can hear it.) If you have a complaint, they tell you to go to the website and file a complaint which then goes to a dead end and nothing gets done. Their monthly conservice charges (water, sewer, trash, other fee, pest control) are the highest I've seen anywhere ($150-180 a month). They will charge you both to clean $150 and repaint the walls $350+ when you move out deducted from your deposit. The only reason this place even deserves 1 star at all is because of their maintenance team, who are amazing. They are probably all underpaid considering how cheap this place is, but they do have a responsive maintenance crew!

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.

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

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!

I have been here for 1 week so far and I HATE IT. They have towed my car and I live here! I went to the office to try to get it resolved and I did not get any help whatsoever. The property has a nice layout, but it's infested roaches and rats. I don't understand how its even sanitary to live here. I am actively trying to find ways to end my lease. DONT EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME LOOKING AT THIS PLACE. THEY WILL TOW YOU EVEN IF YOU LIVE HERE, so imagine inviting friends. I made a google account just to write this review. PLEASE STAY AWAY and learn from my mistake.

DO NOT MOVE HERE! ****BEWARE*** I lived here for 2 years, in 2 different apartments. The management and leasing staff are TERRIBLE. They never answer the phone, or call/email you back. I had to email the manager of the parent company to even get someone to talk to me about my move out. They honestly need to figure out better staffing because they are only helpful when you move in. Though the location is great, the buildings are old and need A LOT of work. They are "trying" to update the kitchens and bathrooms but honestly its just slapping a bandaid on the problem. Trust me, I moved right down the street for almost the same rent in a newer building, with a different company, and its amazing.

Many issues with Foxchase. PLEASE READ! 1. Mice issues. We asked and asked to get rid of the mice and they just put traps that never did anything. They told us they would have to remove the counter to seal the hole they get in. They would do it till we threatened legal action. 2. When we asked about the build up of mold they told us to clean using certain chemicals. After we did, mold still returned and nothing would be done. We gave up asking. 3. Our front door that was supposed to be locked was constantly broken and no matter how many times we asked it would never get fixed. This was especially an issue when we had a drug issue in the building with people sleeping in our common laundry room. Again, it took us weeks of fighting to get them to fix the door. 4. Mail always stolen and when asked if they had a plan to take action they said they are not responsible. 5. Our building smelled of weed 24/7 and Foxchase refused to do anything except for sending letters. Despite their "strict" policy against, the issue only stopped once the tenants responsible finally moved out. If you are looking for a safe apartment for your family to live, look somewhere else. Foxchase only helps when threatened with legal action.

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.

Whatever you do, don't move here... unless you wanna live with a constant fear of running into giant roaches inside your apartment. (They chase you btw). Already have been through half a gallon of insect repellent and continue to find them. No amount of the stress induced near hysteric deep cleaning that I have been consumed by has helped deter them.

Do not move here!!!!! Roaches, mice, no matter how clean & tidy we keep the place!!! Worst of all, I get notifications that maintenance accessed and "completed work" in my unit when I'm not there, even though I NEVER SUBMITTED ANYTHING. 3 times now. Anytime I try to get in touch with the office to try to get clarification, no one answers. I've tried to get in touch with them in the middle of the week, middle of the day, and I never get an answer or a callback. If anyone at Foxchase is reading this, CALL ME NOW, I will not hesitate to call the authorities for breaking & entering if this happens again. Completely unacceptable. Who is in my apartment when I'm gone and WHY?!????

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.

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.

I am currently living here and love the location because it is extremely close to two grocery stores, gym, and bus stations that go to both metro stops. The layout of the apartment is awesome, but there are some major issues. First, I was promised that I would hear minimum sound from the people who live above; mostly soft sound of footsteps. I was lied to and literally ever step they take is echoed through the apartment to the point that a couple of times, pictures on my walls have tilted from the vibration of the foot steps. Whenever they use the shower, it is so loud that it sounds like someone is showering in my bathroom. It was even loud enough to wake my partial deaf father when he visited last weekend at 12 am in the morning. There is a roach and mice issue here. Even as I am typing this, I can hear a mouse in the kitchen moving around. I have approached FoxChase about this 4 different times and their solution is to lay more mouse traps which obviously is not working. The one time an exterminator was brought to the apartment, I was told by the exterminator with a member of the maintenance crew present that he needed to come 3 times a week until the issue was solved. When I tried to schedule with him the times, I was told that the Maintenance Office would contact me. I have received no phone calls or emails to this date and placed my 4th request right before writing this review. Yes, this place is one of the cheapest apartments in the area and has a great location, but please evaluate what you are willing to trade off before signing a lease with the apartment complex. If you are willing to deal with heavy footsteps or showers that wake you up at 4 am everyday and roaches running over you feet while you sit at the computer(that was how I found out about the roach issue) for the location, then by all means this place is great. However, for me and I assume many others, this is not the case and I will not be renewing my lease.

Pest Issues no matter how clean you keep. At move out we hired professional cleaners and left the apartment spotless but were charged a "cleaning fee" of $230. Secured access locks are always broken by people not on the leases, Packages stolen so often I had to resort to using Amazon Lockers, Residents are always idling in the middle of the main roads, the office is ALWAYS closed and the "smoke free community" is an absolute lie as they do nothing to enforce it when it's reported. Save yourself the hassle and don't rent here.

Do not choose these apartments as your new house. IT IS FULL OF MICE. You will be crazy of mice. They will live with you together, and it is disgusting. The bacteria they bring will make children sick and every corner of the house stinks. There will be mice everywhere. They cannot solve the problem, and you will have to move. I have lived here for 4 years now, each year the rent increases, mice increase as well, the service gets worse. There might be less problems in their new buildings but, their old buildings suck.

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.

This place has MICE! I have requested maintenance to come and handle the problem over 5 times and just put traps down that did nothing. They are really nice people, but when I went to the front office to complain about the problem they were very dismissive of my complaints and didn't seem to care. Even when I went for noise complaint some people told me to call them and not the police then someone else said I should just call the police. I have a couple more months on my lease and I am counting down the days to leave, I can't wait to get out of here.

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.

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 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.

After newly moving in and never receiving a water bill until almost 6 months of living here and shortly after I was humiliated by having court papers posted publicly on my door that was being evicted in court for a $200 water bill. This is not a good look and left a awful taste,. No, Wont be here too long!

The worst place to live in please, please, please if you are thinking of renting an apartment DO NOT EVEN THINK OF THIS PLACE, our apartment had washer and dryer in it and guess what... it had nest in it and it got fire and later the maintenance guy said IT'S NOT BEEN CLEANED FOR LAST 2 YEARS, same was true for A.C. filters ..... so please avoid renting there for your own safety

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.

I accidentally posted a 5 star rating just moments before getting started, so please disregard! Location, location, location !!! Its Great, however its a dump! If you have 1900.00 a month for rent then look around because you will get mad everyday when you enter these rehabed projects! The bldg carpets are disgusting and the games tthe mgmt played with me is what id like to share. I rented a 1 bedroom for a year and aside for the waterbugs i fought off daily in the spring and summer both inside and outside the bldg it was ok. So i decided to rent a 2 bedroom and all hell broke loose. The policy is blind. You cant actually see the apt and there is no 30 money back or satifaction guarantee. My concern was real and the complex mgr assured me if something did not meet my standard they would fix it. LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES !!!!!! I screamed and ahouted until they painted the bldg, half a.**cleaned the bldg carpet, resurfaced my kitchen countertops and i could go on for another several characters. I finally exhausted myself but in an effort to pay it forward.... I CAUTION YOU, DONT DO IT! They have yet to meet my standard! My lease is up in Sept and i look forward to moving. FYI I have NEVER written an apt apartment rating! Im not an angry person but i am hopeful someone will read this post and benefit!

Their 1 bed appartements are too small yet they come with hefty monthly utility bills, so beside paying rent and your own gas/electricity accounts, you will have to pay a conservice utility bill that adds automatically to your rent, and the thing fluctuates ,some charges don't even make any sense, like why whould my sewer bill alone averages 55$ on a tiny appartement. Big problem with roaches, insects and mold. Also , when we moved out after living there for 2 years, the management brought some vendor and allowed total charges of 1262$ in alleged damages and other stuff, including two coats of paints , cabins and marbel resurfacing, basically they charged us for a unit restoration when its their job to prep it for next tenant, manager refused to considerate these unfair charges and stated that he "feels" they are accurate, this is merely wrong because paint falls under normal wear tear which again they refused to acknowledge, we feel scammed and betrayed, very disappointed with foxchase and would never recommend them.
