Old Town sits across from Washington DC, along the Potomac River in Alexandria. Founded in 1749, the old charm of the neighborhood lives on in converted Colonial-era buildings which now house modern conveniences. Along Old Town’s cobblestone streets, you’ll discover an array of independent boutiques, artisan shops, wine bars, and farm-to-fork restaurants.
The farmers market in Market Square is your place for fresh cut flowers, hand-dipped candles, and made-from-scratch baked goods. The plaza is more than 250 years old - George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate was a regular vendor back in the day!
King Street is not only dotted with eateries and shops, but also nightlife and live jazz! The iconic Gadsby’s Tavern on North Royal Street fed many early presidents and continues to run as a restaurant - but also as a museum! King Street and Waterfront Parks provide residents recreational and boating opportunities along the river.

Property Ratings at Platform
Amenities are good and maintenance is great. Apartments upon looking are nice. There are issues in the build of the apartments. Walls crack HORRIBLY and we have had issues with ants and fruit flies throughout the season. The floors are like paper and we’ve gotten complains from our downstairs neighbors just by walking. We can’t live normally or walk normally in our own home. Our neighbors have the same issue. These have been the biggest issues living here, especially with the price point of what we pay to live here. Overall though we’re satisfied
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Thanks Samantha for taking the time to give us this feedback. If you are still having any pest control issues, please notify our Leasing Office and we will schedule your unit for full treatment right away. We have a contract in place with our vendor and complete bi-weekly treatments in our common areas plus preventative treatments in units. Additionally, if there is anything additional that we can do for you to make your experience better, please reach out to our Community Manager at Platformvamgr@greystar.com or 703.952.9267. We look forward to hearing from you soon and hope you have a great weekend!
We’ve loved living here since 2021. Maintenance has always been extremely fast to resolve any issues. We would love to rate it 5 stars but the building continues to have security issues especially with the garage door being broken often.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Hello - we really appreciate the feedback and happy to hear you have had an overall great experience at Platform. We did have some mechanical issues with our garage gate, however, repairs were completed in a timely manner and we are happy to report that all our garage doors are operating. Hope we can be of assistance in the future - just let us know, and take care!
So glad we found Platform when we did. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Amber, Tamara, Kevin, and the front office staff. They take extra care to make sure all their residents feel proud to call the Platform home.

Hi, your review about Platform made our day! Thanks so much for taking the time to write. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything additional we can do for you.
My first year was amazing! Incredibly clean, good tenants. This year feels different, sadly. The elevators are often dirty, the package room is a mess. Tenants don’t feel like they’ve been vetted.

Hi, your review about Platform made our day! Thanks so much for taking the time to write.
As a recent resident to the platform community I have to say I’m loving my space here and the amenities to offer. Courteous on sight staff and maintenance team.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Hi there - 100% satisfaction is our goal! Great to see Platform gave you such a great experience. Feel free to give us a call with any other questions! We're always happy to help.
I enjoy living at Platform! It is a prime location with great staff, nicely appointed apartments with stellar views from most apartments. Close to airport, metro, shops, and nightlife. Love the dog friendly atmosphere, coworking spaces and clean buildings. Pretty quiet and lowkey but has nice events to get you out of the house!
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we did and for your 5 star review! We hope you have a great day!
I made a review in June on a separate forum detailing a less-than-stellar time with Platform as I approach three years as a tenant. Platform recommended I call their office if I had any problems. On two occasions, I have called their number and never received a call back. The first occurred after a downstairs neighbor was slamming doors in the early morning hours, forcing an all-nighter. The second instance happened after a fire alarm went off in my building during business hours. Not only did I call the office, but another resident and myself went to the office shortly after 9 a.m. only to find the lights were off and the door was locked. Furthermore, my upstairs neighbor continues to stomp at all hours of the day, despite Platform being aware of the matter. I have given up on Platform addressing this situation because, frankly, I doubt they care. I haven't even gotten to how service crews damaged a door frame and pestered me about following one of them on Spotify.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review

I’ve the monthly events, level of community even across buildings, and the management not only super friendly but also very responsive and accommodating. Four months in and I am still happy with my decision.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Thanks for your praise and kind comments about our team. We're so happy your experience went Beyond Expectations. Let us know if there's anything else we can do!
Overpriced units and parking. Better specials for renewals. More monthly events. Better patrol of garage parking in towing unauthorized cars. Better monitoring of 2 hour parking between buildings and towing enforced. Stop overnight parking w/o permit in front of building 4 and between buildings 3 and 4. Overnight concierge do more than fall asleep and glued to computer. Get up walk around. Identify infractions and place warnings or call towing.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
I'm disappointed to hear this about your experience at Platform, and will share your feedback with the team so we can take the opportunity to improve. If you ever need anything else from us, please feel free to give us a call or stop by. Have an awesome day!
Staff are very responsive and knowledgeable. They go above and beyond to ensure a great resident experience. All of our maintenance requests have been completed within 48 hours.

We're so glad we were able to go Beyond Expectations for you! Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything additional we can do for you.
The acoustics is horrible; from hearing when your neighbors snoring, heavy walking, sneezing, talking and urinating. The amenities, community activities, walking distance to shopping, train station and close access to interstate is a plus.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Hi there, we appreciate your honest feedback, as we are always looking for ways to improve. Thanks again for taking time to let us know how we can improve.
The Platform complex is a wonderful place to live. I have been here for close to 3 years and I enjoy living here. Well designed, located in a great area, very clean and safe. Everyone who runs this place is awesome and provides amazing customer service.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Aw, thanks! Your amazing feedback and rating mean the world to us. Thanks again for taking the time to leave us this information about your recent visit. Take care!
The apartments are nice, though you can hear your upstairs neighbor stomping around. Maintenance staff is wonderful. Leasing office communication needs improvement.

I love the community we've built here at Platform. I never been this close to any of my neighbors and consider them true friends.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Hello there, thank you; we appreciate your feedback!
Great complex with helpful staff. Have had no issues with anything. Residents are friendly and there is a sense of community. Best apartment complex I’ve lived in, across many different cities, by far.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying Platform and that our team has been helpful. It’s wonderful to know that our Community stands out as the best you’ve experienced. If you need anything, we’re here for you!
Renewal of lease was a nightmare. I don’t even want to think about anymore. The location is great and apartment is beautiful. Convenient location
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your lease renewal experience was not up to your expectations, especially since you enjoy the location and your apartment here at Platform. We have tried to reach out to you to discuss your concerns, but we have not heard back yet. If there is anything we can do to assist you, please feel free to reach out to us at your earliest convenience. We're here to help and would love the opportunity to make things right.
The amenities (pool, gym, clubhouse) are resort-like and we enjoy the activities. Wendell is a friendly face greeting you from the concierge desk every day. We also love the maintenance team, led by Keith. In the apartments, the kitchens and bathrooms are outfitted with really nice cabinetry and appliances. The only room for improvement is minor (the A/C isn’t always on in the hallways; sometimes comms could give you an earlier head’s up if something is happening like fire alarm testing, which scares the dogs). We would recommend the complex to our friends, especially building 1 which has the full time concierge.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Hello Laura - thanks so much for the feedback. Your input matters! Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything additional we can do for you.
Renewed my lease because I like it so much. Such a convenient location and nice amenities! Looking forward to another year here at Platform.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Hi, your review about Platform made our day! Thanks so much for taking the time to write.
Rent at your own risk. Know that management is slow to respond and slow to take any action if any at all. Know that your concerns are shared by many and have been routinely reported with no action by management. Great location for public transportation. Easy access to Old Town.
Property Manager at Platform, Responded To This Review
Hello - we really appreciate the feedback. We unfortunately are unable to locate your email address, however, we'd love it if you'd reach out to us directly at platformvamgr@greystar.com so we can work towards a resolution. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to hear from you soon. All the best to you.
Platform’s incredible staff is what truly sets it apart from the other amenity buildings in the area. Kevin, Amber, and the entire front office staff treat you like human beings, not line items in a spreadsheet like other buildings we toured in the area. Highly recommend calling the Platform your next home.

We're so glad we were able to go Beyond Expectations for you. Your recommendation means so much to us and we're so happy to have earned it. Thank you again for taking the time to let the world know about your positive experience. Have a great day!
Love it here! Looked forward to move here for a lot time and we don’t regret it. A bit annoyed about the parking situation, but otherwise so happy and excited for the next year or so.

Hi there! Thanks so much for letting us know about your experience with Platform. If you ever need anything else from us, please feel free to give us a call or stop by. Have an awesome day!
I’ve lived at the Platform for a little over 2 years and love it here! Amenities are awesome, location is great for those who don’t have a car since restaurants are within walking distance and the metro and buses are just a short walk away to get to other further places like DC and Arlington. I’ve never had an issue with pests, leakage, missing mail/packages which is fantastic! The leasing, concierge, cleaning and maintenance staff are nice and friendly too. I feel safe in and around the buildings and would recommend the place. The price is worth it here!

Prime location. Very expensive apartments with very expensive parking. Office staff are nice, maintenance staff are great. The people are... people. Lots of dogs, most of them great, but not all, and quite a few careless dog owners.

Platform is a great community! From the resident events, outstanding amenities (fitness center, coworking lounge/offices, dog park/spa, and so much more), professional leasing team, streamlined application/resident portal and proximity to the Braddock Metro - this is a modern professional’s ideal living space!

Looking great so far!! Easy move in process and loving the location so far. The apartment is in great condition minor a few bumps and dings, but overall it’s so nice that the building is only a few years old. You can tell!

Hi, we're so glad that we were able to go above and beyond your expectations! If you're ever in need of more help, please let us know!
I still love my apartment at Platform but I do feel a few things have changed since I moved in. While it is something none other than those who are guilty can change, there has been a distinct drop in the respect people show to the building a community. Dog urine in elevators, trash left in main areas, packages left in the post rooms for weeks— it’s disheartening. The second is something I hope can be changed- building 3 used to have a lovely diffuser in the main lobby that has since either run out or disappeared. It felt like you lived in luxury! Please bring it back.

Tamera, Bailey, and the rest of the leasing office team made the first day moving in incredibly easy. The facilities are fabulous, and it’s in a great location. I’m extremely satisfied with the community and the staff.

Living in Platform provides a lot of benefits including a walkable METRO station, buildings that are only a few years old as well as many community features such as pools, gyms, a co-working space and other community areas. The only thing I would say is that if you are very sensitive to noise, pay for the top floor units. These apartments have hard floors and if you have an upstairs neighbor, you are pretty much at their mercy since they would have to get their own rugs or make changes to their habits to make less noise for people below

Good community, great amenities, friendly staff, convenient location, quiet neighbors, overall a great living experience thus far. I would like to see more areas for bikes/ potentially have communal bike pumps but otherwise no complaints one month in.

I’ve been a resident of Platform since it first opened. I’ve lived throughout the United States, but the experience I’ve had while living here far exceeded my expectations. The Platform team has been nothing but exceptional and Wendell has always been available to answer and all questions I might have. I highly recommend Platform if you’re searching for a place to stay in Alexandria.

Pros: It’s an active community and the amenities are nice. The parlor/co-working lounge and the gym are very convenient to work out and work from home. The short walk to the Metro station is also convenient on the days I commute to DC for work. CON: The noise in my apartment is horrible which takes away from a peaceful home. Although my apartment faces the street, the outside noise isn’t bad at all but the noise within the building, specifically my apartment, is nerve wrecking. The ceiling creaks and I constantly hear my neighbor stomping, running and yelling throughout the day, night and early morning. One evening when I arrived home from work, I found that my food was thawing in the freezer and the temp was not accurate. I submitted a request and called the front office 10 mins before closing - soon thereafter the after hour technician and supervisor came out and provided great service. The supervisor checked the appliances temperature, and promptly replaced the fridge/freezer with no problems.

This is a terrible place to live. Nobody in the leasing staff knows anything about the property. Nothing gets fixed properly. Nothing works.

I am so thrilled with my decision to move to Platform. The price for the location is unbeatable and the apartments are beautiful. The appliances are quality and I was thrilled by the limited noise from outside construction and metro as well as neighbors. I think this is a wonderful place to live and I hope to be here as long as I remain in the area.

Hi, we are so happy to read such a great review about Platform! Welcome to the family! So glad that you touched on the top of the line appliances and look of the apartments themselves. Its great to hear you haven't had any noise issues and enjoy the property. We are glad to have you here and thank you again!
I been living here for about a year now, so a review is warranted. Location - the location is GREAT! Property - New construction doesn’t mean good…Very Poor Quality!!! These buildings will not last the test of time. Very thin walls and floors…..The leasing office will say put rugs down or don’t put on heels until you walk out the house to avoid noise level BUT it’s not that the floors are laminate, it’s because there is no concrete between floors. I’ve lived in other buildings with laminate flooring and this was not an issue. I can hear ALL my neighbors except the ones below. My neighbors are not even loud (one exception) thank goodness!!!! I can hear my neighbors sneeze and cough through walls. Don’t have a conversation, I know all the tea!!! They probably know all my tea too…smh. This is utterly ridiculous. The appliances are cheap, the fridge comes with a water spigot on inside but the leasing office no longer retains responsibility to change filter, so I feel sorry for new renters… they may remember to change between tenants. No WiFi in garage cause issues with electricity at charging stations. Also a dead zone if you are in danger. They do have those emergency boxes near elevators but you would have to make to elevator. I’ve heard many tenants that live on the metro side complain about the metro noise due to low quality windows. The windows have a decent draft during the winter as well. Commuter - community is decent, mixed tenant population young and older professionals. This is a four building community. Dog friendly community. With every community there are incidents such as smoking in buildings, dogs off leash (easily a big dog little dog potential tragedy) etc. Often packages are delivered to building one instead of designated building on address. Many times I have to truck over and retrieve, not a problem if it is a small package but if it is a heavy large package inconvenient There is only one concierge desk located in building one. Most people are friendly, the community has events monthly to encourage socializing Leasing Office - Lets just say they could do A LOT better, a whole lot ????????Don’t let them fool you. Their only exceptional employee is one of their concierge employees, Windell. He is phenomenal!!!

I have a lived at the Platform apartments for 18 months now and I can say without reservation that they have met every high expectation I had from the day I moved in. My apartment is light and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows -- and with high-quality flooring, countertops, and appliances. The HVAC system is state-of-the-art in that it can be controlled by an app on your phone and even has a special air filtering feature that kicks in regularly to keep the air clean for people like me who have allergies! Some of the best features are outside of my individual apartment including 2 big beautiful gyms, a large co-working lounge with private conference rooms and a commercial size Keurig coffee machine, and lots of indoor and outdoor common areas including grills and pools for enjoying with friends and family. The office staff is always friendly and helpful and the maintenance staff is extremely responsive and professional. I often have taken advantage of all the nearby public transportation including the Braddock metro station which is only a five minute walk. And it is just a 20 minute walk to King Street in old town!
