We love living here

Since new management in the summer of 25 and we moved in it has been a great place for my family. The property manager KATHY is amazing. The office staff and the maintenance are the same level of amazing. This property doesn't have a lot of fancy amenities but does have washer and dryers in units, dog park, playground, patios and free parking. Every single maintenance issues or concern has been repaired immedietly and they are so nice and trust worthy. For these reasons alone I would stay here. You can't beet having a wonderful relationship with office staff and maintenance. They really pay attention and care about the happiness and safety of there residents. I have also noticed Kathy and her staff are very attentive to our children. They plan fun things for them to do during the holidays and I have also many times seen them watching the kids off the school buses in the afternoons to make sure there home safe crossing the street and have learned who many of these kids are. Over all just do it take a look at a unit and join the community.

Do not move here.

I've lived here for years and I'm counting down the days until my lease is up. Contractors have keys to your apartment and walk in unannounced and without notice (seriously, you'll wake up in the morning or get out of the shower and there will be a stranger in your apartment), hallways smell like garbage and pet urine, there is a SERIOUS mouse and cockroach issue (see other reviews), theres a black substance coming out of the air ducts, there's a mismanagement of utility charges so you'll see random and inconsistent charges on your monthly statement. This is just scratching the surface.

Front office staff gaslight you and aren't able to answer your questions about your lease or the utility charges. They get you into your apartment then leave you to fend for yourself with the mice and roaches.

Any positive reviews 2021 and earlier are from the former property management company who were fantastic and handled issues. These reviews do NOT reflect the current state of the apartment complex.

About Old Town

If you want to be away from the fast and loud city life, Old Town is the place to be. Filled with cobblestone streets, colonial homes, churches and museums, Old Town is a quiet and charming neighborhood on the banks of the Potomac River in Alexandria.

Getting around Old Town


Old Town Reviews

36 reviews
I love the neighborhood. Although Old Town is in the suburbs, it feels like like a mini city, and almost everywhere I want to go is within walking distance. There are great restaurants and bars a few blocks, we're close to the river, there are multiple parks nearby. There is a Whole Foods a block away from my building, and it takes me less than 10 minutes to walk to the King Street Metro station. I also have a dog, and there are so many dog parks and dog-friendly businesses in the area.
Pros:
- Safe, nearby grocery store, pet friendly, pool, close to restaurants, diverse in income types and styles of homes, etc.

Cons: Section 8 housing, a lot of people for a tiny pool.
Lots of new development populated by yuppies and hip new businesses/restaurants, mixed in with pockets of section-8 housing and shady groups of people walking the streets.
Absolutely love it. So many friendly people and fun restaurants, coffee shops, stores, etc. Feels like you are apart of a community and very easy to meet people.
Public transportation is excellent. Really don't need a car. Holmes Run Park great for running and bicycling. Restaurants, shopping and malls within 5 miles.
Close to DC and other Virginia cities... good public transport... not as young and fratty as Arlington but still plenty of social opportunities... Love it
This is an awesome area. It is lots of fun to explore and a nice change from being in the city for school all the time.
Old Town is great! So many restaurants, bars, shopping, parks, and hiking. Easy to walk to all the shops on King Street, and super close (walkable) to two metro stops, Braddock Road and King Street. Commute to Foggy Bottom via metro is only about 30 minutes, and it is a straight trip on the blue line from Braddock Road to Foggy Bottom-GWU.
