Love my apartment! While it may be pricy, I live with my partner and we split the rent, which makes it much more reasonable. There are really great amenities: a gym, pool, outdoor space, grills, everything that you need. The management is very responsive to maintenance requests as well, and they regularly do events where they cook food for residents. I really enjoy it!

We moved here after living at AVA Ballston (same management company). We are on the seventh floor and each have our own bathroom. I never hear our neighbors and the noise from traffic and construction is at a minimum. We have plenty of floorspace and access to excellent amenities, including a nice gym and pool. We are a three-minute walk from the Ballston Metro station and a few minutes away from Target and a variety of other restaurants.

It is a 30 minute commute by metro, but what you lose in location you gain in the size of then unit and all of the amenities.

Review of Ava Ballston Square

It is pricey here. I will not lie about that, but it is in close proximity in walking (5 to 10 minutes walk) to the metro, small stores for shopping, a walking trail, a theatre, and several grocery stores. The neighborhood is lively nut not too noisy and if you drive a car, you are not to far from the interstate.

Wonderful amenities in a newly renovated room, with the building being renovated as well. Sadly, it costs quite a bit compared to other nearby buildings, and does not include amenities within rent (if it did, the pricing would at least make sense). The management truly sucks and I avoid dealing with them at all costs.

We love the amenities here, it's great for dog owners and they have a nice gym, courtyard, study rooms, free printing, pool, etc. A little far from the school however this is right next to the Ballston Metro, takes about 15 minutes to get to the Foggy Bottom stop.

It's a good starter apartment and the building itself is nice. They've invested a lot in making the courtyard/pool area and gym nice. It's also convenient having the metro stop and so many restaurants right outside the building. The only bummer is that the unit can feel really small and there isn't a lot of space in the bedrooms. This gets to be more of an issue because of COVID making us hold up inside. Price wise it's fairly in line with what's being offered in the area if anything it's a bit cheaper. When you're paying rent it seems like you're paying for access to the location more so than for the unit.

i like live at city.

everything was excellent. best apartment i ever lived in
