Convenient, Cheap, no frills

My experience has been great. Very mom and pop energy. I've met the building's owner and landlord personally. They are very prompt for repairs. It is amazing having parking and utilities included. The building is old, but well maintained and they have updated kitchens and some baths. My one caution would be Brittney, the landlord, can be difficult at times.

Great place to live

It's basic, but it gets the job done, and I have no complaints! The apartment is spacious, management takes care of issues promptly and it's wonderful that utilities are included. Yes, the building is older, but the apartments have been recently renovated. The building has a great sense of community and all my neighbors are very friendly. Laundry isn't in-unit, but I believe there is a laundry room on every floor and it's been very easy to manage. It's all very close to Ballston and Virginia Square and all the area has to offer.

Hidden gem in Arlington

The Quinton Arms property is a hidden gem in Arlington. Right between Ballston and VA Square, it is less than a 10 minute walk to either Metro, and there is a bus stop that goes into DC right across the street from the building. The apartments aren't fancy and the amenities aren't anything to write home about, but if you don't need a fancy gym or pool, it is a wonderful place to live. The Park View building (sister building right next door) has nicer amenities for not too much more in rent, so that is always an option. The units are large and very bright. The most important factor to me has been the incredible value for the location.

About Ballston

Living in the suburbs and still finding a vibrant city a few blocks away is what Ballston is all about. Reach the city with great ease, and find some great restaurants such as the Tutto Bene and the Caribbean Breeze, or maybe the Taste of Arlington Annual Street Fair. If that is not appealing enough...

Getting around Ballston


Ballston Reviews

49 reviews
I enjoy my neighbors and the common crowd around this area is young professionals it seems. We are close to george mason university and marymount college, so there is sometimes a younger crowd in the area as well. We do have some houses around the area that I have seen mainly have newly established families (i.e. little kids or new to the area) and I feel safe walking around my area at night.
I personally like being in Arlington. Everything is walkable and while it's not DC proper, it's very easy to get into the city via metro or a quick drive in. I've run to Georgetown in 20-30 minutes. There's stuff to do and there's everything you could need: gyms, grocery stores, shopping, restaurants, bars so close by. Ballston is a hub for transport so buses and the metro abound.
It can be a little noisy if you're too close to Wilson, Glebe or Fairfax roads, especially if you're right above the bus stop like I am, but nothing light background noise can't drown out; I sleep with a fan and I sleep like a baby. The public transport can't be beat, and it seems like a new restaurant opens every day. I'm interested in looking at houses in the area when I can afford to buy!
Ballston is by far one of the best areas of Arlington to live in. It has tons of access to bars, food, shopping, and a social scene, without being too loud of an area.
We are right across from Ballston Quarter which has a Union Market type of food court. The area is developing so quickly, very trendy and everything is within walking distance. Even though it's very walkable it does not feel as congested as DC.
I definitely feel that it's up and coming-- so much construction and many new restaurants and shops popping up! IT's very walkable. It's also pretty safe and it's close to highways, the Potomac, to DC, etc so the location is pretty great.
I love living in Ballston. I don’t have a car and never feel like I need one. Richmond Square is a block from the metro to take me into DC, and there are plenty of places to eat and things to do right here in Ballston.
Great spot for young people. There are tons of amazing restaurants and bars nearby that you can walk to. Also only a short metro ride to DC.
