Across the Potomac River from Washington, DC, rests the Nauck neighborhood. The blue and yellow metro lines run along the river and wrap around the south end of the cemetery, while the orange and silver lines enter Arlington from DC just to the north of the cemetery. Commercial communities are built up around these metro stops to the north and south, while the area in between is largely residential.
From Interstate 395 up north to Wilson Boulevard the residential communities of Penrose and Lyon Park provide nice suburbs for those looking to be a bit removed from the hustle and bustle while maintaining access to amenities, albeit by car. Nauck also encompasses the Pentagon and houses many of its employees.

My overall experience over the last three years has been fine. I've lived in other places and this one isn't in my top, but there's nothing totally wrong with it either. It's decently priced (still overly expensive) in comparison and next to the highway. Some of the neighbors aren't really friendly and won't say hi or anything, but that's ok. The building is older, but the units are renovated. The biggest issue I've had is the climate control. The HVAC system is old and they will not turn the AC on until mid to late May even units reach over 80 degrees.

Before deciding on Alister Arlington Ridge, I’d looked at over a dozen apartments in the area. While some were newer buildings, and some more luxurious with fancier amenities, they also were more expensive than I could afford. Others with comparable rents had smaller units and/or were not as well kept up. Through my exploration, Alister Arlington Ridge was just right. When I first met Sarah, and then Nick, they were both really welcoming, warm and professional; I immediately felt like I could be comfortable here. In the month since moving in, they’ve made what could have been an extremely stressful experience (my first time moving in 30 years!) very smooth and manageable. The combination of large-sized floor plans, recent renovations, ideal location, friendly community of residents, and the warmth and responsiveness of the staff; all are making this exactly the right place for me.

DO NOT LIVE HERE unless you like your apartment being in the mid 80s. The property only has heating mode and cooling mode and it's up to the property management which one is on. So when its spring and the outside temp is in the 80 (as it is today) the units get into the mid to upper 80s with no way to cool my unit down (currently 84 as I write this review). When asked to switch to "cooling mode" the management says the temps at night get too low. This is total B.S. as even with the temps at night getting into the 50s, the units still have all the hot air in from the day prior that doesn't release at night, even with windows open. For example, even with lower temps, my unit only got to 77 at night before beginning to rise again in the morning. The management doesn't listen to the concerns of the residents, because if they did, we wouldn't be living in such hot conditions. To sum it up, DON'T LIVE HERE! You have NO Way of controlling the A/C, even when it's in the 80 outside!

I love living in this building! Room layout is excellent, there are no pests, building management is attentive to issues, and I've found the walls to be well-insulated to limit the amount of neighbor noise I hear. There are ongoing construction projects that can create inconveniences, such as water shut offs in the building and daytime renovation noise. However, overall I really enjoy being here and it definitely feels worth the price point.
I’ve been here for 3 months now and aside from the renovations going on, I’m loving my new place. The office team; Sarah and Anthony are very attentive and friendly. I haven’t had to put it any maintenance requests in but have stopped by the office with questions and they are always ready to help. I did ask for touch up paint for scuffs on the walls that I created from my move and within minutes one of the maintenance guys was at my door with a container. Thank you! Yes, there is room for improvement but not with the staff, the building. Wish there was more access to parking and the elevators could use some upgrading. Other than that, I’m happy here and appreciate the staff.

I've been a resident for almost one year and it has turned out better than I thought. Hadn't been an apartment dweller in a long time, so I wasn't sure what to expect here. The apartment is extremely quiet. People are allowed to have pets here (a major plus, IMHO). Maintenance staff is always very responsive and kind. However, it's nice that I haven't had too many issues where maintenance was needed. Never had an issue w/ bugs or mice. In the front office, Sarah and Anthony are top-flight. They really help give the building a family-like atmosphere! As for negatives, they're more like just annoyances, i.e., when one of the elevators go down - thankfully we still have 2 others. When the water is shut off for infrastructure improvements, they give us advance notice and distribute jugs of water upon request. Overall, much better here than I thought! :-)

This building has a mouse problem. I’ve talked to several of my neighbors who have either seen mice in their apartments or heard scratching in the walls. Management hasn’t taken the necessary steps to exterminate the ENTIRE BUILDING. They have pest control to come and lay traps, and fill holes. That is not enough to stop a building wide infestation. There are big mice traps in some of the stairwells and common areas, so management knows there is a problem. I have no other major concerns but a mouse infestation is a hygiene issue and I cannot recommend that anyone live here.

We have seen marked improvement since they commenced services. Again, thank you for your review. Should you have any issues in the future, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team. Best, Alister Arlington Ridge Management Team,
Given the location, this is a wonderful deal! Especially the "studios" that are laid out so well. Even though they're studios, they still have a sense of privacy.

We love our management team: Stefanie, Sarah and Alyssa truly care about the residents. It is personal to them, not just a job.
Arlington Alister Ridge is a place you would love to call home! Extremely helpful and friendly staff, always available to reach, maintaince team exceeds expectations! Responds within few hours and gets the job done beautifully. You wont regret if you lease one of their units.
Best bang for your buck around town! My unit boasts 200 sq. ft. MORE than most of the studios around the city. Centrally located and right off I-95, the complex is in a great spot for commuting professionals! My unit is quiet and I rarely hear neighbors or anyone out in the halls. Professional and friendly staff also addresses all needs and are great about communicating with tenants. Thanks Alister - Arlington Ridge!
Staffers very good at handling matters immediately
I have been living in the U.S. for 5 years in different states, and honestly, I never felt so comfortable and fancy like in Alister Arlington Ridge.
Really hard to find anything bad to say about this place. Clean, spacious, and unlike many apartments in a similar price range -- it's quiet! Barely any sound between floors and walls from my apartment.
The maintenance staff has been very timely and handled any issues that I've had. Stefanie and her team have been great at communicating and responding as well.
Best apartment in Arlington with a genuine sense of community.
Great community with good services!
The staff is awesome. Always friendly and attentive to the needs of the tenants. A real sense of community living here at Alister Arlington Ridge.
This apartment complex allowed their tenant's and guest's cars to get towed. They have an agreement with the leasing office to allow the tow truck company onto the property and tow people.
Property Manager at Alister Arlington Ridge, Responded To This Review
Good evening, We appreciate you taking the time to provide your valuable feedback. In response to your comments, we do indeed have an agreement with the tow company to remove any unauthorized vehicle or vehicle parked without a visible permit at our community. This policy is in place to ensure there is enough parking for all of our registered residents and their guests. If you feel you were towed in error we would love to set up an appointment with you to discuss this further. Please feel free to contact me directly at 703.979.3131 and we will schedule a time that best works for you. Stefanie C. - Community Manager.
Peaceful and clean
Place is really nice inside, staff is really great. Leasing and management team is easy to work with and someone seems to always be there.
Good price, good size, good location, and great staff
The Alister has been very helpful and understanding. I'm glad that we have occasional events and celebrated mini holidays to keep spirits up!
It is incredibly hot outside and inside. Many people have complained and management is not doing anything. It seems as though the AC unit is controlled by the apartment and not individual units even though we have our own thermostat. We have it at ‘59 F’ but it feels like 74 inside the apartment and since it is not centralized it only feels cool near the AC unit. If you want to have your own personal sauna in the summer this is the place for you, if not and want to walk in from the smoldering summer heat to a nice cool oasis then don’t live here look elsewhere.

I don't think there are enough characters to describe how horrible this apartment complex is. I would give them 0 stars if I could. The management at The Harlowe does not care about their residents whatsoever. On NUMEROUS occasions, the power went out multiple times and the apartment complex said "it was out of their control" and left the power off for hours. In the summer, you can only imagine how much of an issue this is considering that pets, babies, and elderly people live in the complex and the temperatures outside were over 90 degrees, and inside the complex was even hotter. I and other residents would speak to the management about these issues and they literally had the audacity to send out an email saying "just open the windows." I also had multiple perishable packages lost that I told the management about and they once again stated that it was "out of their control," and that they "didn't know" I was having this problem even though I had told them multiple times. When I moved out I was charged a bunch of service fees, that, when I moved in I asked about and they told me there were no move out fees. Brooke and Jasmine (who used to work in management) were so nice and polite and new the residents by name, but Tayna (the new manager) is so rude and disrespectful, and does not care about the residents in the slightest.
Building has issues with air conditioning. They are not able to have both head and AC access at one time, so they have to switch the system over in the spring and fall when the weather changes. This past spring, they didn't get it scheduled in time for the weather to turn hot. My apartment was 85/90 degrees for three days. Even when they do have the AC working, it really is not powerful enough to cool the top floors well.
I moved to this apartment complex thinking I had made a great decision given its location; the fact that the building was old did not bother me as property management had done a great job renovating and making it look as good as possible, and from experience, old buildings tend to be quieter (construction materials). Anyways, the location, amenities, and overall appearance of the building are good, and if you work in downtown DC, you are likely to find a good place in this complex with everything you need. This review is about the AC system and also about the way the staff handled the situations. When I moved in, I was told by the leasing consultant, at the time of signing (after I asked as the building was HOT AND HUMID when I looked at the apartments) that the AC unit would turn on if the temperature was 65 degrees of above, and that it would turn off if the temperature dropped below this value. She mentioned that at that time it was not working but that they were diligently working to get this resolved. She was so nice that we took her word and decided to sign. We moved in September, when it was still hot outside. After a few days, as we were getting settled I noticed that the AC was still 'off' and called them. To make a long story short it was a nightmare. Temperature in my apartment r 90 DEGREES (I am not exaggerating) and the AC was either broken, or turned off, or off and no one from the office would say anything until someone complained or it would work for a couple of days, and then break again. The staff would just say that it was broken or something, and that it was going to be turned on later on in the week because of XYZ reason. Finally, winter came, and the problem went away for a few months. During the holidays, they replaced the staff and having in mind all my complaints, emails I thought they had checked the unit proactively and fixed it before season; that would have been the smart/professional thing to do. Obviously, this did not happen. Summary - It is 85 degrees INSIDE my apartment at the moment, I have all my windows open, and two flor fans at full power, and I am still sweating. If I had known ... had I only known about the deal with the AC, I would have left. I would not have signed that lease. It is VERY uncomfortable to be in your apartment in 90 degree weather, an apartment for which you pay rent every month. It is very frustrating.
It's a great community, and everything would be good if you didn't have to call pest control every other month. Today was the fourth time I had to go to the leasing office in order to try to fix that. There's mice fesis on my bed. I hear them squeaking all night long. I don't have clutter, my house is extremely clean and I have to keep dealing with rodents. Currently I'm sleeping on the living room space but I can't sleep with all the squeaking from the mice. It's been like this the whole year.
Property Manager at Alister Arlington Ridge, Responded To This Review
Anonymous. We apologize for the inconvenience you are having with rodents. Since September we have been able to resolve your issue and am glad that you are now enjoying living at The Harlowe. Thanks again.
The rooms here are great. Studios are larger than your normal "studio", with full kitchens. New management is upgrading a lot of aesthetics. Rent and utilities are low, in comparison to where I've been before. The community is safe and convenient. This place has 2 real big problems though... There's very little parking (no reserved spaces), with no guest parking. You can pay for garage parking, if your car fits in the garage, and if you can afford an extra $60/mon. The 2nd big problem is all of the smokers in this building. There is a no smoking on property policy, however it is not enforced, so often times hallways are filled with smoke and smoke bleeds into apartments through the walls and door cracks. If it weren't for those 2 things, I would stay here log term. But as it stands, I'm looking for a better place.
