The Clarendon

Nice apartment building. Much more space for the money than other buildings in the area. Management is very responsive.

Pets Welcome

Its a typical high end Arlington apartment. Nice apartment, amenities, etc. If you have a pet, Equity is great. However, if you do not have a pet the noise from the dogs can be a bit overwhelming. Equity is one of the few management companies that allow large dogs. Accordingly, there are a lot of dogs in the building. It actually started bothering my allergies even though the dogs were not in my unit.

The best part about this apartment is the location. It is in the heart of Clarendon, right next to tons of bars and restaurants. It is just steps away from the metro as well. Although it is quite pricey, the management is very friendly and maintenance problems are taken care of swiftly. Overall, I would recommend this apartment to anyone.

Great Location , Outrageous Price.

While the location of The Clarendon can't be beat (within minutes of both the Metro, the bars, and the local trader joes!), you do have to pay an arm and a leg to live here. The amenities do include a small gym facility and an outdoor pool but both are often crowded and the pool is only open during the summer months. The apartment itself is nice and the bedrooms are large but ultimately not worth the high price-point.

Management Inflexibility - Equity is a large company and as inflexible as a robot. Tenants are treated with indifference by Equity management.

I'll be moving, and not returning to any Equity Residential property the day my lease expires due to:

1. A policy of Charging tenants late fees (~$500) due to staff errors - What errors? Equity Residential cancelled my rent autopay without notifying me in any way resulting in a late payment. My bank profile was also deleted from the payment system with no explanation. When I inquired as to why my payment was cancelled, I was told it was due to the fact I was transferring units within the property that month, and this was standard policy. Maybe the agents could have let me know as part of the processing? I've never had a late payment for the previous 9 months, despite an antiquated web-based system that always takes 3-5 days to update your payment status.

2. Staff misleading customers when trying to transfer from one unit to another on the property. I was given a 24 month lease after I was told I was signing a 10 month agreement. When I tried shortening the agreement to 12 months, (still weeks before moving), I was required to pay a $2940 fee because the shorter lease term came with a lower rent than I was already paying. In this case; a $25 difference; which I offered to pay out of pocket for the duration of the lease.

Great location. Clean and beautiful shared areas

The apartment is one block away from the Clarendon Metro Station. It's a great location with a 24-hr CVS, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods, and a variety of shops within walking distance.It's definitely not the cheapest option in Clarendon, but the amenities (gym, 24-hr front desk service, shared lounge area, pool, etc.) make this apartment a good deal.

Fantastic apartments

Great location and friendly staff. It's really convenient to be so close to the Metro. There is also a Trader Joe's within walking distance. While the building is fairly pricey, it's pretty much on par with buildings in the area.

Little pricey but great place to live

The building is a little expensive but I think it's worth it, especially if you have a roommate. The building is a block or two away from the Clarendon metro station (takes 15 mins to get to work), Trader Joe's, CVS, and a bunch of restaurants. The apartment as well as the rooms are really clean, the management as well as the staff are all friendly, maintenance responds to requests really quickly. I've had a great experience so far.

Lyon Village Reviews

35 reviews
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.
When I first came to school everyone said DuPont circle was the place to live and I wanted to be in the scene with everyone. After living in Arlington, I do not regret this decision at all. Everything is so clean and classy and safe. It is really the perfect community filled with young professionals. I personally think it is a better place for networking than the city.
Average neighborhood, food scene is unexceptional. If the law school wasn't right here I wouldn't be living here. Tons of crowds and people not taking masks / social distancing / pandemic in general serious and going to bars and clubs.
Lots of restaurants to choose from in the area. Near Trader Joe’s, Giant, and Whole Foods for grocery needs. Metro transit steps away, but also a quick walk to Roslyn or Courthouse.
Great local area. Night life is okay, but very tailored to ex-frat bros. Tons of great food and an easy commute to the city.
Very walkable area, lots of restaurants, bars, and shops. Area feels safe to walk around even at night.
Metro, bars, restaurants, gyms, movie theaters, breweries, etc. all a block or two away.
Lots of bars, restaurants, shops, parks, dog park, etc.
