very good apartment
Avalon is generally a very amazing apartment for students to live, 10 minutes‘ walking distance to Columbia.
Great place, long distance
Very good amenities, not that you’ll use them all (like the indoor movie theater). But gym is great and community there is pretty cool. Great place if you have pets, convince Amazon lockers/fridge storage room and front desk service. But it’s a 40-55 minute commute to campus with the metro/AU shuttle and a 35 minute commute with the metro and a personal scooter.

Not bad, very expensive
I like my apartment and complex, but 2 of our doors are not real doors/have no locks so there is less privacy; it is expensive; the management is occasionally helpful; I like the location but it is far from other things
Love it!
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!

AVA Ballston Review
I like it but not love it
Nice Apartment
Avalon is an apartment complex that is spacious. Management is pleasant and the property is well maintained. Awesome gym with space for cardio, weights, yoga and spin. Common area is clean and there are amazon lockers for secure package delivery. Neighbors are generally friendly and it is a mix of students and professionals. A bit pricey but great quality.
Nice but pricey
This apartment is very nice and cozy, but it is fairly expensive. Especially comparing it to what I paid in undergrad ($800 split 4 ways, so $200 each).
Great Apartment
Very nice apartment building with easy access to two metro stations on a quiet street. The building staff is nice and welcoming and it is kept very clean.
Quincy gem
It’s so worth the rent. Takes me about 30 mins to get to school. Nice neighbors, good maintenance team and location can’t be beat
Really nice building - area is great
Super nice and modern apartment complex, good amenities like pools, lounges etc. Maintenance is always quick and the building management is generally great. Love the location, close to Little Tokyo and the Arts District. Only deducted some points because there is a homeless problem to the left of the building, as it is a few blocks away from Skid Row - you should expect to see people out on the sidewalks, but that’s almost everywhere in LA.
