Delancey at Shirlington Village

Beware! Crows, roaches, and mold. I lived in the flats for one year. I have never lived in such poor living conditions before. Issue # 1 - Thousands (literally) of crows nest in Shirlington Village from October - April each year. They encircle the building cawing from 4am - 6am every morning. The walls are paper-thin and you can still hear the extremely loud cawing when using earplugs. Before moving here, go check out the thousands of crows that nest in Shirlington Village at night. Or just google "Shirlington Crows". They will ruin your life. Shirlington Village tries to scare them away with sound cannons, but that only lasts a few minutes. When you walk outside of your building every day you will see bird droppings all along the sidewalk and you will be forced to walk through the mess. Issue #2 - My health suffered from living here. The apartment that I moved into had mold. I developed clear symptoms of mold exposure (chronic cough, memory loss, fatigue, heart palpitations/increased heart rate, and a cough that lasted for 6 months). Once mold spores are in your furniture and clothes, it's hard to get out. Maintenance laughed at the fact I was complaining about mold and the musty smell. I used at-home tests and a mold detection company to verify the mold. Delancey did let me switch to another apartment. Issue #3 - The first apartment I moved into was infested with roaches. They told me this was because the apartments are above restaurants. I've lived in many apartment buildings over restaurants - and never saw roaches. Exterminators put sticky roach traps all throughout the inside of my apartments. I have never lived anywhere where I had to constantly have roach traps littered around the floor of my living space. It was so embarrassing to have guests over. The staff of Delancey acted like it was a normal thing to have roach traps all over the inside of your apartment Issue #4 - The apartment they moved me to had silverfish, damp carpets, and a constant smell of pot in the hallways. My quality of life decreased significantly while I was living at Delancey. My health, my sleep, and my work life suffered. Notice the strong air freshener smell when you walk into the main office. This is to cover up the constant smell of trash in the main building. Beware.

I have lived here and have friends that have or still here. The management and staff are as useful as ticks on a dog. They are fake and will tell you what you want to hear to sign a lease. The maintenance staff will blame the tenant on broken equipment or breaks in order to not replace and make the tenant pay. The desk and work staff gossip and hang out with tenants which is also how you get know much of this scoop. Oh and if you want to work with corporate to escalate good luck, more lip service than a politician with a microphone. Beware and choose another property. At least you can live in a dog poop and pee free pot smelling building and still be in the village!!!

I lived in one of the Loft apartments for 5 years and it was a great home. The walls are thick, you have no neighbors top or bottom, and everything feels fresh and new. Maintenance always came the same day and the grounds are well kept. Parking is an issue - particularly in the tower and flats buildings, lots of people vying for few garage spaces and competing with shoppers. Concierge is spotty - they advertise 24 hour coverage but in reality, they leave the desk frequently for long periods and you're basically out of luck until they come back. Otherwise, couldn't be more convenient right in the middle of the village shops and grocery.

Please do it be fooled. This apartment complex is rude and only in it for the money. Horrible insulation ( freezing duing the winter and expect a heating ill aroind 200 for a 1,000 sq foot place) college party loid noises, people getting sick in the hall and not cleaning it until carpet had to be removed 4 days later. Look somewhere else....only positive: front desk staff who deal with belittling management

They are AWESOME! Always there when you need something. The 24-hr concierge is fast friendly and courteous. Just an amazing and great place to live!

I've lived here for a year now and I'm never moving! I feel right at home and love being to walk everywhere, restaurants, groceries, movies, theater, post office, ups, dry cleaners and the list goes on and on. If you do have to drive this location is central to everything! The 24-7 concierge is fantastic and considering there are a lot of dogs in the building this building is always immaculate. I am so happy I moved here and the this is not your typical apartment living as the units have such character! The leasing office team is wonderful and very responsive. I am so impressed with the gym here that I quit my membership elsewhere. I am in my early 40's and the mix of ages is perfect.

I just moved in to the Delancy in August. I love this place. Angela is awesome! She got me my apartment and has been nothing but kind and helpful since! She is the reason I got an apartment here! She goes above and beyond for the residents here. I have lived in many apartment complexes in NYC, and DC, and I can honestly say this is one of the best places I have lived in. I highly recommend it and recommend Angela to be the one to help you! She is the best :)

The Delancey at Shirlington Village Apartments allows a resident to create their individual living style. It's quiet and friendly, yet at any time of day or night, Campbell Avenue is lined with fabulous restaurants ready to serve. The Delancey invites pets as residents and they enjoy the dog park across the street. The Tony Award winning Signature Theatre and the Arlington Library are a skip away and a movie theater around the block. One will never tire of this unique Shirlington Village and simultaneously can choose just to stay home.

I moved into the Delancey at Shirlington Village, a UDR property, three years ago. I am the type of person that knows when a decision feels right for me, so within minutes of meeting with the leasing agent, I knew this was the place I would want to be. I did not know anyone and living on the 11th floor was very new to me after living in NC. What I like most about the Delancey is it grows with you, or has grown with me through many transitions the last three years. The maintenance service is exceptional, they almost answer my request too quickly. If I have any issues, there is always someone to speak with about it. Of course different personalities yield different outcomes, but for me the Delancey gets better with each year. I feel very safe and there is always a smile to greet me even if I do not want it the minute I walk through the front door. This has been a meaningful resident that I will hold close to my heart with my few friends, the ability to leave my apartment anytime and have restaurants, shopping and beautiful trees and paths to walk. Oddly, it feels more like home than anywhere else has and I am away from all my family. Oh, and it is above a Harris Teeter and it does not get better than that.

Living at the Delancey is like being on vacation everyday.This urban village residence was planned to make life happy and carefree. Each morning complimentary coffee is provided in the lobby and a shuttle is waiting to take residents to the local subway. A party room, workout room, swimming pool, indoor parking and concierge help to make home extend beyond the apartment walls.The library, grocery store, doctor's office, movies. theaters and restaurants are just steps away. Just move in and you will never want to leave.

The Delancey is a great place to live, the apartments are up to date and very modern living. The location could not be more convienient, being located above a grocery store and walking distance to multiple restaurants and bars. The staff is great and all the amentities are better than any in the area.
