Arlington Court Condos

Good overall. Great landlord, highly responsive, very good deal for the price.

I have lived here for two years now. It's great. The apartments are spacious, close to the law school, and relatively affordable - I don't think there's a better value within walking distance of the law school and North Grounds. There aren't a ton of amenities (no pool, no gym), but NGRC is very close by.

It's important to note that the condos are independently owned by a variety of landlords, so many qualities will vary (updates to units and appliances, responsiveness for maintenance, even price, etc.).

There are one- and two-bedroom units. I live with a roommate in a two-bedroom unit. It is very spacious and has a lot of light, in-unit laundry, and extra storage in the basement. From what I know, the one-bedrooms do not have in-unit laundry, and they are darker, as they're partially underground.

The condos on the whole are showing some age. My landlords (Brad and Lori) have been very responsive when appliances need updates or if things break. They have also kept the rent at a very reasonable price. From what I've heard, they are some of the best landlords in the complex. However, they only own a small number of the total units.

Very affordable with lots of space and 3 minute walk from the law school

Overall, my time at ACC has been positive. My rent is very low for the area, and the apartment is quite spacious. The landlord can be a character, and he is not huge on preventative maintenance, and resolving issues can sometimes be a hassle. However, there has never been a serious problem that needed to be dealt with. The building itself is rather old, and some parts of the condo are clearly dated. However, they don't really affect the living experience negatively.

It is such a convenient location!

No major complaints. Maintenance issues (laundry facilities) are annoying and there is a slow response but doesn’t happen too often.

Note that ACC are condos and the units & service vary significantly based on who owns/manages them. I'm pretty satisfied with my unit itself--decor is slightly dated but there's in-unit laundry, a basement for storage, and both a full bath upstairs and a half bath downstairs. Mine is not a basement unit, so we have plenty of light. Definitely check whether the unit you're looking at is above ground or a basement. But the location is amazing (I get by fine without a car), parking lot is nice, and the property's common areas are generally well-maintained. In my experience the neighbors are fine, not too loud and mind their business. If your unit faces Arlington Blvd there may be some street noise. There aren't many amenities but if you're a law student you won't have time for these anyways. You can always make friends with Pav residents and hop across the street if you want to hang out at a pool.

The price for next year is $1200 for a one-bedroom. It's good and convenient (really close to the law school). The big downsides are that there's no in-unit washer/dryer and no dishwasher. Kitchen is also super tiny with very little counter space. Big pro for me is that it's cheaper than basically all of the one-bedrooms around.

Nothing special. Cheaper than surrounds. Heating/A/C is kinda crap.

Great for price and location
