Walking distance from the school. Average apartment.

My time at Ballston Place has been great! The 10 minute walk to the GMU Arlington campus is incredibly convenient and the Apartment layout has been very valuable an accommodating to a law student . Some of the apartment requires updating, but it is good value for the price.

Have lived here for 3 years now and really love the building (even through a management change). Close to lots of transit, parking is low cost for the area ($70/month). When we lived in a 1 bed 1 bath it was $1800 700 sq feet and now we live in a 1 bed w/ den 1.5 bath almost 1000 sq feet for $2400. They are very pet friendly, the rare maintenance issues are fixed quickly and well. We're getting Amazon lockers in the building, and the concierge holds all our packages currently. They're also renovating the pool area for next summer (2020).

I really enjoy having a front desk that collects our packages for us and is responsive when we call about issue. They make the building feel very safe

The building is clean, homey, and modern (but not too modern). I also love our pool!

Water pressure isn't that great, water isn't hot enough. I will try to look for another apartment complex next year

No pests problem, never hear neighbors or landlord, but literally got a noise complaint the first night I moved in for playing moderately loud music at 9p on a Friday

This Avalon is the most amazing building, everyone who works there is lovely. If we even have an issue it is fixed with in the day. Plus they have gas stoves!

The building is a little older than the new ones in the neighborhood which makes rent a little more reasonable. It's a great location with all the amenities you could want pool, gym, club room. Not all residents though are great about cleaning up after their pets.

The Avalon Ballston is a really great place to live! Our 2 bedroom apartment is roughly $2,000 a month which is a lot cheaper than most buildings in DC. The location is right next to the Orange and the Silver line which is great if you work in McLean or Tyson's Corner but want to be able to get into DC in the evenings and on the weekend. The building also has some great common amenities and management and the staff are fantastic.

First of all, Avalon management is the absolute best- anything from maintenance requests to moving in they take care of right away and the staff are very polite. The luxury highrise is really nice when it comes ti amenities too: great gym, party rooms, and everything is so nice and clean.
