Overpriced but great location!

We were definitely pay for location living in Virginia Square. I felt like overall the rent rate exceeded the value for the apartment itself. Highly overprice, but again we were paying for location. We were walking distance to metro and strip of bars and restaurants. If the rent was cheaper I could see myself staying at same location for another couple of years. Amenities are great to have on site!

Location is everything

As a commuter, there is nothing worse than having to slog through the snow or walk a mile in the classic humid DC summer weather. And that's why I decided to live here. Being able to walk out of my door and right on to the metro was the biggest selling point. The apartment is nice, but there are definitely cheaper options in the area. But I'll pay a little more for the extreme convenience of living right next to a metro stop. There is a little shop right next to the metro which is really convenient incase you need one or two items, but not appropriate for large scale grocery shopping. Great area, nice building. If you're looking for speed an convenience on your commute, this is a great place to live.

Nice apartment at an affordable price point

The best thing about Virginia Square Apartments is the location. It's literally right next to the Virginia Square Metro station, and only a 5 minute walk to the Giant grocery store. There are a lot of nice bars and restaurants within a 10 minute walk, and I really love the Clarendon area. The building also has some great amenities, like a really nice gym and a resident's lounge.

Getting around Arlington


Arlington Reviews

372 reviews
Safe and friendly neighborhood. On a busy street, so the neighborhood is mostly behind the complex. Even then, the suburb behind the complex is small before you hit another highway. Very easily accessible by car, not very much by metro. Also, that accessibility comes with the cost that things do not feel very walkable in most directions. Living here almost necessitates having a car.
Pentagon City is a great experience that is only about to get better with the new Amazon building and the influx of youth it will bring. It is a ways from DC which makes getting with friends difficult because they don't want to come to Arlington, and getting to DC requires 30 minute notice and planning.
The neighborhood is very walkable and has very accessible public transportation. It's not somewhere you typically would go out at night since nightlife is nonexistent, but Amazon just moved in and there is semblance of that changing. It's great if you are active (many gyms, parks, and Mt. Vernon Trail Access), enjoy restaurants like Chick Fil A (one right outside my building), and want to be close to everything.
The property is set in a residential area that is pleasant and safe. Custis trail is nearby for running, biking, and walking. It provides easy and quick access to the city and Rosslyn. I love this trail.

MOM's market is on-site. I shop there occasionally but prefer the cheaper option of Giant down the street (a short drive or walk). The metro is a short and safe 5-minute walk away.

The building does sit right off Lee Highway, but I have never had any noise or other problems associated with this. I like how quickly I can pull onto the major road instead of navigating around crowded city traffic. I drive to school in under 5 minutes via Lee Highway.
Rosslyn is convenient for purposes of transportation and conveniences (food, bars, etc.). Additionally, it is between D.C. and the law school, so convenient to just about everything. There are some spots that aren't the safest and you wouldn't want to be walking alone in at night, but overall a great neighborhood.
Very clean, lots of restaurants and coffee shops. Some good outdoor spaces. Feels safe overall, but I had some weird experiences. Could potentially be a Ponzi scheme where a man approaches and is flirting with you, asks questions about your life and what you do...Happened to me twice with two separate guys in a similar manner. Maybe I'm just approachable but either way, it's fine overall, just be cautious like you would anywhere else. A few homeless people here and there, but honestly pretty scarce.
LOVE LOVE LOVE my neighborhood. I'm between dupont and u street, so it's not in the middle of it all, which I appreciate. I'm literally 2 blocks from 14th street where all the great restaurants/bars are. I'm also 5-7 mins walking distance to multiple grocery stores (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Safeway). It's quiet enough to feel like I'm not in a city, but i'm steps away from being reminded that I am.
It's a great area as someone who is looking to live somewhere with easy access to popular sites but without having to live with the noisiness in the "center of it all." It's an easy walk to Clarendon (it's about 0.35 mi walk to Whole Foods, 0.7 mi walk to Trader Joes) and a quick stroll to the metro station (only about 0.2 mi walk). It's a mix of residential apartments and corporate offices, and is quieter but still with a strip of restaurants, coffee, medical offices, and nail/hair salons.
