3/16/23
The property is excellent
Moved in on the 1st March 2023. My leasing agent has been great. His Name is Zach. He has been very helpful and kind. He has also made the transition very workable. Hope he is here for a very long time. So far, the neighbors have been very quiet and respectful. Very convenient for work and shopping. Even bingo close by. Which we are excited to attend. It's above the Fire House. The good thing is for residents with kids the schools are very close. And for the rest that have to ride the HWYS and BYWAYS all the roads are just seconds away. Literally. Good choice hope to enjoy the rest of the year here.

Great Neighborhood & Location

This is a fantastic apartment community
I've been living at the Elms for 4.5 years and its been a fantastic place to live. The apartments are great with modernized kitchens. My neighbors have always been nice. No late night partying or noise. I've never had issues with parking. The amenities work well for my kids and I. Pool is always clean and refreshing during the summer. Weight room is well stocked too with several cardio machines and machine/free weights. There is even an Amazon locker here so package delivery is secure. You can walk across the street to grocery stores, lots of restaurants and even a Korean spa! There is a Starbucks 3 minutes down the road too, in case you need that fix. It takes about 5 minutes to be on 28 or 66 from here and the new interchange makes traffic easy in the morning or evening. The rental and maintenance staff have always been prompt to handle any issues that have arisen and they are all super nice. I honestly have zero complaints!

I love my peeps at the office
I have been living here for 7 years and I love everyone at the office! I have enjoyed my neighbors and my view and the events that have been so much fun. It's a little oasis in Centreville! Everyone is so friendly and it's a peaceful place to live. The location is great for getting out to the country and finding great places to eat and have coffee and it's close to work.

Excellent Property
Alejandra was very professional through my move in process she is very knowledgeable about the community. The pool, gym and grounds are very well kept. The maintenance team is also very fast

Outstanding Staff
The assistant manager is very knowledgeable she was able to assist my family and I during our Covid hardships while being compassionate and professional of our situation The Elms truly cares
8/2/22
Un-Professional - Terrible
The Elms staff is very un-professional and have NO clue what they are doing. The Assistant Property Manager has no clue about any of the processes. The repairs in apartments or around the apartments have been a joke. They put band aids on everything and hope it lasts awhile. Parking is terrible, paying for trash pick up is a total rip off and to get a sewer/water bill over $70 a month (yes for a small apartment).

You can consider this place your happy home
If you've lived in Norther Virginia for some time you know that it is very hard to come by a non superficial , friendly, hospitable human being. Not here at The Elms. I've lived here for years. The office and maintenance staff are always approachable and hospitable. They've all been attentive to my needs. The maintenance staff always has always had a prompt response to the maintenance issues in my apartment. They are always on property in a timely manner to start snow removal to keep the sidewalks and stairs safe to walk on. The grounds guy is always very friendly and courteous to me and does a great job keeping the property looking clean and kept. The pool in the summer looks ahhh so blue and refreshing. Its kept nice and clean. The new lounge chairs are comfortable. The schools are pretty close. My kids are 7 & 8 and ride the bus. They are safely picked up inside the property. The shopping centers are conveniently close.... as are a handful of restaurants...and there are 2 metro bus stops right on the street curbside to this property. I do suggest if u dont rent a bottom level apartment and you're a shop-aholic like myself then buy yourself one of those foldable shopping carts...the bigger the better. I am happy and comfortable here. I do recommend this to anyone that wants to be treated like family...like real human being.

Dishonest Management Company, Uses Lawyers to Threaten Residents
I have been a resident at the Elms at Centreville for a little under a year at this point. My experience with this leasing company has been anything but pleasant. This is my second time posting this review on apartments.com, as the first review got taken down for some reason. When I moved into the apartment, I read the lease very carefully with the leasing agent for the apartment. A few months after I moved in, Management announced a change in the water billing structure, which did not seem to me to be allowed under the terms of the lease that I signed. So, I contacted the front office staff. At first, they seemed helpful . However, the lady at the leasing office for the management company, told me that if I wanted to be able to discuss the issue further, I would have to contact the regional manager. I requested that she contact me, and was assured that she would. Instead of getting in contact with her, I received an email from a legal firm claiming to represent the Elms at Centreville threatening me with eviction if I did not pay my water bill. This was curious to me, as I have complied with every term of the lease, and have always paid my water bills early. I called into the office and again asked to speak with the regional manager, and politely expressed my dismay at the fact that a lawyer was sent to THREATEN me, rather than letting me speak with the manager. After some time, the manager and I had a positive discussion, and she thanked me for being gracious, saying "if I was in your shoes, I would be much more upset." Then, rather than follow through on the resolution agreed upon on this call, I received ANOTHER letter from a lawyer threatening me with eviction if I did not pay my water bill. I was surprised at this , and asked for an apology and for the original agreement to be honored. However, at this point the leasing staff stopped talking to me, and said that I could only speak to one of their other lawyers about the issue. I have now been contacted by three lawyers , and have barely been able to enjoy my unit in peace, despite being a model resident. While the amenities and unit are nice enough, I would have to say that it is not worth being threatened by lawyers three times in such a short time of living here, especially when I did nothing wrong. To all residents considering a place to live in Northern Virginia, I would encourage you to look elsewhere for a leasing company that will preserve your right to quiet enjoyment of your property.

Best apartments, best service
I’ve been in the elms for over a year. Just renewed my lease. The maintance crew is always on time and willing to assist when ever possible. The front office is always clear and consistent in all areas of their expertise. Everyone is always kind and respectful in any situation. There are no hidden fees or cantract issues with any lease I’ve had here. There is always someone available when needed. They provide amazing community service events and gatherings and show how much they care about the elms community. I will continue to lease with the elms at Centreville for as long as I am able. I’ve living in multiple apartment complexes and the elms community is by far the best in the area. The elms is a true community environment.

Best place ever
I love everything about this community, from the staff to the location. Everyone is so friendly when I walk in and the renovations make this place feel brand new. The events they host are so much fun and gives me a chance to meet my neighbors.

Finally moving out, and glad to move on.
I have lived in The Elms at Centreville for about a year and I’m getting ready to move out. I’m thrilled to finally leave, since my experience has been living in a shoddy home while being ripped off constantly. Every time they rip me off, they come back with the same response “it’s in the lease”, which is a very smug thing to say. But in the end, I'm leaving because I paid over $20,000 and I'm tired of being swindled. Anyway, here are the separate ways they ripped me off, or tried to rip me off, since I signed the lease: 1. They tried to charge me pet fees even though I don’t have a pet. Fortunately, I got this one refunded. 2. They charged me for Valet Waste Removal. It’s $30/month and it's mandatory. I’ve been carrying out my own garbage this whole time, and still I have to pay $30 a month for a service I don’t use. 3. They offered me 1.5 months free rent as a signup bonus, but they only gave me one month and 3 days because my lease started on the 27th of the month. 4. When I finally got to the end of my lease, I just couldn’t wait to get out of The Elms, so I bought a condo a few months before my lease ran out. At this point, the early termination fee (about $4,500, all told) was more than my remaining rent. So I asked if they would waive some of the early termination fees if I moved out a couple months early. In theory, they should want me to leave early because they could start looking for a new tenant immediately. But that’s just not how their business model works. Screwing their tenants is like a reflex, they don’t even care if it’s in their interest. The apartment itself is in bad shape. My unit is newly renovated, but it’s not fooling anyone. 1. The plumbing is really bad so when you run the sink for the first time in a while, it stinks like sewage. This even happens with the laundry machine, which is just disgusting. 2. The entire place is carpeted, even the dining area. 3. There is something weird going on with deliveries. I have only lived here for 10 months, but I have had 4 packages lost in the mail and I have received my neighbors mail at least a dozen times. 4. You can't get Fios here. All told, I overpaid for a shoddy apartment. I’m very upset about that and I feel like the only thing I can do is warn others on the internet. So here’s my warning: seriously, don’t move here. If you can find a place to rent from the owner, do that. There’s no way a single human could come up with this many different ways to screw you

Poor condition, hidden fees
I got suckered by the low prices, but it's really not worth it. By the time they're done socking you with hidden fees, this place is not cheap. I got a newly renovated apartment with new carpets and new kitchen appliances, but everything is falling apart behind this stuff. There are holes in the concrete just under the carpet, and everything that's not new is rusting or molding in some way, and my laundry room smells like sewage. There are serious problems with the postal service here too. The post office returns a lot of mail to the sender for no reason, and they deliver a lot of mail to the wrong address. A lot of my amazon packages get returned to the sender. Amazon refunds me when that happens, but it recently happened with a smaller website and they didn't refund me. The thing that really has me worked up right now are the hidden fees. They charge $30 every month for "valet" waste removal, and they just charged me $160 for being a few days late on my rent. I hate the feeling that my landlord is trying to take advantage of me.

Don't be lured in by low prices
Apparently there is a character limit on reviews, so I can't put out the full list of reasons why you shouldn't live here. Instead, I will resort to a pros/cons list. Pros: -Red Rocks across the street is an awesome bar. -Fair Oaks and Fairfax Corner are nearby. -Centreville Multiplex is a great and cheap theater. -Windows recently replaced. -New HVAC system. Cons: -Poorly designed floor plan. Can only get a couch in after significant effort because there is a closet immediately across from the front door. -Chandelier for the dining area isn't centered properly, so you hit your head on it nearly every time you walk past or get in or out of your chair. -Appliances have probably never been replaced. -Water is potable but very poor quality. Expect to use far more soap than you are used to using and don't expect to ever take a dish out of the dishwasher without a layer of film on it. -Even though they replaced the thermostat with a digital model, they were too cheap to buy a programmable one, so it doesn't really improve anything. -The carpet is so worn down that near the edges (like the entrances to the bathroom) you have to watch wear you step or you will get stabbed by a carpet tack poking through (but, if you have a pet, they will probably blame you and charge you for replacement anyway). -You are required to have the carpet steam cleaned within 48 hours before your move out date. -They are not the least bit forgiving if you ever miss a rent payment, even if it only happens once in two years. In summary, live somewhere else.
