Just south of the Pentagon and west of the high-rise buildings of Crystal City and Pentagon City sits the tight-knit community of Arlington Ridge. Mature trees shade the brick center-hall colonials, Cape Cods, bungalows, and open spaces that distinguish this neighborhood of about 1,200 single-family homes. The houses at the top of "the Ridge" enjoy remarkable views of Washington, DC, just three miles away. Arlington Ridge is one of the communities that combine the best of suburban and urban living — a safe, quiet, and beautiful neighborhood close to public transportation, work, shopping, restaurants, and cultural attractions.

Property Ratings at The Park At Arlington Ridge
In late Sep 2024, my car wheels were stolen from the apartment parking lot during the night. This incident not only left me with a hefty repair bill and also shattered my sense of security. Although the apartment management waived two months of paid garage parking fees as compensation, it did little to alleviate my concerns. It’s unclear whether there are going to take any steps to improve safety. When I moved in, I noticed air pockets in the wooden flooring. Despite multiple requests and multiple visits from the maintenance team to assess the situation, no action was taken to fix the problem during my entire stay. I lived here for ~4 yrs and the apartment management was generally responsive to other small maintenance requests, often addressing issues within a day or two.
Property Manager at The Park At Arlington Ridge, Responded To This Review
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, and please accept our apologies for any distress or inconvenience you experienced. Since the review doesn’t include a name, we’re unable to reach out to you directly. However, we would like to know more about your experience. If you'd like to discuss this further, please feel free to stop by the leasing office at your convenience. We’d be happy to meet with you to better understand what happened and ensure your concerns are fully heard.
I've lived here nearly 2 years and this place has been in a continual downfall. It seemed like things we're getting better right near my renewal and boom back to the slide. Worst part is the roaches and mice. The other reviews you've seen are accurate. I guess management is just hoping one o them will eat the other. At this point though they seem to just be high-fiving in the walls and throwing all night ragers in our living rooms during the night. The other thing I'll say that's bad here (if you needed something else) is the parking. It's extremely difficult to park here and if you do get parking plan on getting your car dinged up a good bit. AKA better sell before you move here. A lot of people here like to back there vehicles into spots....not everyone can do this well.
This place has gotten so bad. I moved in about a year back and this place just keeps getting worse and worse unfortunately. This is not going to be an extensive list but I'll name a few here so those of you looking can be weary of renting here. First, the rat infestation at this place is only increasing. When I first moved in, I learned from neighbors that there had been rats living in the walls and come out at night. Unfortunately they never have eradicated the problem and every morning I'm cleaning up droppings. It's literally the worst. Management is aware...they just don't care. When your touring, if it's past 4 go by the trash bins you can see your soon to be rat neighbors feasting there before they make there way into your home later in the evening. Second (as if the rats weren't bad enough), Roaches. I actually hate these worse because it's like every time you go to put something away in the kitchen or clothes in your closet theres another five of them just chilling. They do have "pest control" but it's never gotten rid of the problem for some reason. Lastly, Parking and break-ins. The community seems really safe and at times it has been. Unfortunately, were now in a situation where every 3 weeks like 5 cars are broken into and stuff stolen out of. To make matters worse clearly on at least one occasion they people had no intention of stealing and just went around breaking the windows. The crazy part is you can almost never get parking here in the first place. If you have any plans that have you parking after 6 PM just know you'll be either street parking far away (great for the break-ins) or paying management for the luxury of having your car in their lot every time. We're stuck for another 4 months into our lease here but just know if you look the are better priced options out there. Every neighbor I have has been gouged by $5-600 rate increases on renewal.
Infested with rats and mice. Multiple complaints over MONTHS!!! Still not resolved.
Poor maintenance process throughout our 3 years here. Requested and was approved to be present for move out inspection, only to be told they did it without us already and have three charges we couldn’t verify. Awful management that broke lease agreement. Stay away.
As referenced by a few of the reviews from former residents - this community will nickel and dime you to death for NO reason once you move out. The apartment charged me for the entire apartment's carpet to be replaced after I moved out - let it be known I knew nothing about it until almost a year later when I applied for another apartment. They sent pictures, with no notable damage (also similar to the other reviewer's). Then they tried to say their 'express cleaning' service didn't cover carpet cleaning (when it's an option on the form...) - it should also be said they tried to convince me that the apartment was supposed to handle it, but I was told a third party company did, that they knew nothing of. When I threw up a flag for them and provided details on the payment and service, they magically knew who the third party company was all of a sudden and refused to rescind the charge. The apartments themselves have walls of paper - I could hear my neighbor's (upstairs and next door) phone conversations or yelling matches, including a few domestic disputes. The dumpster for trash is always overflowing and is never cleaned up. The parking situation is TERRIBLE - if you're a commuter and get home after 5, don't expect to find a parking spot (even on the street). The only positive experience I had at this location is it was close to Giant, which was nice to walk and get groceries - otherwise, there are no redeeming qualities about this place. Especially since the same management is there, even after the company switch. Absolutely the worst.
Before you move in they are great. It’s all fake just to get you into that lease. Once you move in, you realize there is dog poop everywhere, no parking and garbage that spills out into the parking lot. The management team is completely unresponsive to emails or call. When you move out, they will try and charge you multiple fees and charges you do not owe.
I have lived at the Park at Arlington Ridge for 3 years and moved to the DC area from another state. I recently transferred to a larger apartment, and I can only rave about the leasing agents, especially Marvin. Marvin also oversees the Concierge department. He went the extra mile in terms of answering questions and making sure that my transfer to my new apartment went smoothly. Additionally, during and after the move, he called to make sure that all was going smoothly. He is the ultimate professional and provides excellent customer service. I do love living in the area. There is a park area nearby, several dog parks, nearby basketball court, soccer and baseball fields, and it is easy walking distance to the local grocery, wine store, gym, Starbucks, and the nail salon. I work in the DC area, and I take the apartment shuttle in the mornings to the Pentagon City metro, which is a short distance, away and ride the Yellow line, 4 stops into the city. Being on the Arlington Bus route is also convenient. When I work late, I simply take the Yellow Line to the Pentagon and ride the bus, which drops me off very close to my apartment. I feel safe in the area. There are a lot of dog owners, which I like since I am a dog owner myself, and basically people are friendly. Maintenance is responsive, and also a special shout to Julio in the maintenance department for always being courteous, professional, and so helpful. Also, you will like that the grounds are well maintained, and having 24 hours concierge service with package receipt, all of whom are very nice, and access to the apartment gym.
My lease was ending in and they increases my lease substantially. I tried to talk with a manager to negotiate about the increase. It was impossible to reach out to a manager. I went to office couple time, called couple times and left messages every single time and noone called me back. Finally after 4 weeks i was able to talk with a manager( Kody) and i explained him my situation and he told me he cant help me. So i sent them my notification to vacate. Couple days later Kody sent me another email that i have to pay one more month rent becuase i didnt give them 2 months notice and when i tried to explain him the situation he didnt even listen me. I sent at least 5 more emails and i didnt get any response. Finally i called again and they told me he quit and i explained them the situation and i have been told they will discuss with management and get back to me. I offer them paying at least half rent and return the key right away. 5 days later, i called them again and the manager told me she forgot to call me and they wont accept the offer.I just paid the rent today for a empty apt. I would never suggest these apt to my friends or anyone. Before you rent the place they are telling you how good communicator they are but when it is time to leave the apt they dont care about tenants at all.
There is no insulation in these apartments, so you will hear everything people talking, taking showers, using the toilet, walking, children crying, and people's arguments. Parking- there is no parking after 7:00 pm. You will have to walk in the dark. Outside lighting is not the best around here. Leasing Office- A disaster once you signed the lease, you won't matter anymore. There are too many apartments in Arlington, save yourself a headache, and don't waste your money. Don't believe me. Move and then experience for yourself.
Let me start by saying that I never really write reviews, but I feel like I have to put this out there. This place was close to work when I first decided to move to the NOVA area. Out of all of the places I looked, The Park offered more bang for your buck. It wasn't a bad place to be. Its not super close to the metro though, so getting into DC in public transportation took a while. Outside from that, my issue didn't come until i decided to move out. I received a really long list of possible charges. The charges seemed pretty extensive so I contacted the leasing office to see if there was anything I needed to do to avoid them. I was told they would only occur for things outside of normal wear and tear. I scheduled a pre-move out inspection and the maintenance guy said that everything should be ok (I am a very very clean individual). I moved out 5 days before the date I was supposed to hand over the apartment, so I called again to make sure everything looked ok. I was told the carpet needed to be replaced, but because it was pretty old anyway and that I wouldn't get charged for it. 2 weeks after that, I received a letter saying that I owed The Park for carpet replacement. I'm a little annoyed since I spoke with them so many times about this. If the guy would've recommended a cleaning service, I would've followed the recommendation. When I talked to the property manager he asked me if I had these conversations in writing. Honestly, he's right, I shouldn't have trusted a verbal confirmation. I usually know better. I'm just writing this for everyone to keep in mind all the possible stupid things that they could charge you for. I cant attach pictures to this review, so I'm copying the list below. I have lived in many similar apartment complexes in my life and this is the first time this happens. If I would have to do it again, I would give this place a hard pass. Clean refrigerator/freezer $25.00 Replace window pane $ actual cost $ Replace refrigerator shelf $45.00 Replace window screen $ actual cost $ Clean stove top $25.00 Replace window blind $ actual cost $ Clean stove hood $15.00 Replace vertical blind $ actual cost $ Replace stove drip-bowls $5.00/each Clean oven $15.00 WALLS Replace broiler pan $20.00 Remove mildew and treat surface $50.00 Replace stove/oven knob $15.00 Cover crayon/marker/pen marks $55.00 Clean kitchen cabinets $20.00
My apartment smells like an ash tray 24/7. I do not understand why management does not have smoking and non-smoking buildings. Smoking is banned virtually everywhere in the United States, it's very hard to come back to a home everyday that reaks of smoke- especially since its an odor that repulses me and that I'm not used to smelling anymore. Even my clothes and my furniture smell. Also the tenants in the quad of buildings I'm located in participate in a stoop culture year-round. They have turned a small grassy common area into a park where they play games and scream with their children all day. At night, they start drinking and smoking joints while they watch their children play and scream even more. Sadly this complex resembles (and smells) like an inner city complex. I'm a very sad and unhappy tenant.
This complex is terrible. Where do I even start? Dog poop: you literally cannot walk two steps without almost stepping in poop. I can't even tell you how many times I have stepped in it. Clearly people aren't picking up after their dogs, so leaving passive aggressive notes on all the buildings is simply not enough. Fees: the Park will basically charge you to breathe. Think of the innkeeper on Les Miserables. Maintenance: didn't fix our sink -- it was still leaking after they came. They didn't bother to clean anything up and made a mess of our kitchen. You don't get to know when they are coming, so if you don't want a stranger alone in your home you have to take the whole day off work. Shuttles: always down. They are terrible at communicating when they are down. My roommate waited for over a half an hour the other day without one shuttle (at 8:30am). By 5:00pm they sent an email notifying us that the shuttles were down. SO HELPFUL. Parking: just don't ever expect to get a spot. Really lower your expectations and you should be fine. Office: don't expect anyone to call you back. The bookkeeper works at several offices and is very rarely in the office. When we wanted to sign our lease and make the deposit, no one even called us for weeks. We should have taken it as a red flag. We eventually both had to stop in the office and force them to take our check and sign our lease. Office staff is basically incompetent. Smoking: people will smoke in their homes and in the building causing the whole place to stink. Don't expect anything to be done about it. Neighbors: we have lived in two buildings at the park and each time have had several neighboring units in which multiple families are dwelling. This causes loud noises, constant children screaming, frequent door slamming all throughout the day/night. Basically, the gist is that this place is terrible. You couldn't pay me to live here. Save your money and go to the Avalon or AVA in the same area.
I arrived in DC close to five years ago for work. After living in DC for close to a year, I left the noise of Dupont Circle and moved to The Park at Arlington Ridge three and a half years ago. Due to my decision to return to the west coast, I recently moved out of my apartment. This is a very quiet community that is quickly accessible to communities throughout the Greater DMV area. I never had any problem when I stayed here and I found the staff to be helpful and friendly. The amenities are good, and I enjoyed walking down Army Navy Drive to the Pentagon City Mall. Maintenance requests were always handled in a prompt manner. This community represents a great value when compared to other apartments in Arlington and DC. My monthly rent was about 40% less than what I paid when I lived in DC.
I was excited touring this apartment complex, but now that I've been here almost a year and everything is falling apart, so happy to be moving on. Lack of ventilation means the fire alarm goes off any time you cook. Only half of the burners on the stove work. It takes 15 minutes running the faucet to get warm water. The washer and dryer is so rickety I and the lint screen is missing. The walls are so thin it's hard to keep your train of thought. And yes, as others have said, the management team is not helpful in the least. It seems like a good deal when you visit, but the stress of living here is not worth it.
A neighbor's dog bit me unprovoked, drawing blood, as I was walking down the sidewalk-- and The Park did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The bite happened in December 2014, and it required medical treatment. The dog is still living here in a public area where kids play. The dog's owners engage in the same behaviors that led to bite. The dog has not been removed as of June 2016. Two managers have told me there is nothing that can be done. When asked about keeping the community safe, the current manager told me that residents have a responsibility to protect themselves and that the property is not responsible for the safety of residents??!! I was walking down the sidewalk minding my own business! So, if you are thinking of moving here...remember they: 1. Believe it YOUR responsibility to keep yourself safe on THEIR property, and they have no obligation to keep their residents safe. 2. Would rather allow a dog that bit somebody to stay in the community and do NOTHING to ensure that other residents are safe. If they allow a dog that bites somebody to stay without doing anything, it makes me wonder what they would do if another resident attacked another resident? This place is advertised as "luxury". I think it is ridiculous to pay this kind of rent to be told that I was essentially responsible for an unprovoked dog bite while I was using a public, common area. Also, there is frequent management/staff changeover. There have been three mangers here in the 2.5 years that I have lived here. They are often slow in responding to requests/emails, and it is not untypical for you to have to contact them a number of times to get an issue taken cared of.
The apartments themselves are nice, aside from the cheap carpets. It is the management staff that makes the Park horrible. The people in that office are extremely rude. It seems like everyone in that office is always in a bad mood and are unhelpful. I have complained several times about extremely loud neighbors in my building, to no help whatsoever from the staff. The shuttle bus service is a joke. The drivers are often late, sometimes don't even show up at all. The office staff never knows whats going on or why only one of the two buses are running. Not to mention the fact that one of the shuttle buses crashed last year. Several residents were on the bus. The management office failed to inform other residents what had happened. They seemed to just brush the crash under the rug. Not cool.
The Park offers great location, spacious apartments, and great public greenspace and amenities. However the relatively bland kitchens and baths, thin walls, and a less-than-convenient parking policy mean there are definitely better values to be had in Arlington.
With the great reviews online, I had expected a lot more from this place. It's not a great choice for non-smokers, as they let people smoke in some apartments and wouldn't guarantee a non-smoking apartment.
I'm half way through my lease and plan to renew it, no questions asked! The front office and maintenance crew are polite and quick to respond. They are easy to work with, making living at The Park at Arlington Ridge a breeze. The apartment itself is up to date, clean, and beautiful. Having your own washer/dryer in the apt is probably my favorite feature. The noise level is minimum to none. The neighbors are kind and respectful. The location is near almost everything. You have a shopping center with a grocery store, liquor store, nail salon, restaurants, a gym, a vet clinic, etc. You are located next to a 395 exit and close to route 1. It is great location. I don't want to jinx myself, but everything is almost perfect! The only cons I have are parking and apt size. It is one parking pass per apt and the rest is street parking. To be honest there is street parking at every inch of the premises, but it could be a walk. As for the size, it is a bit small. For three adults, a 2 bedroom/1 bath is a little tight, but definitely do able. Haven't been happier that I found this place!
This apartment is not the most updated place but it is clean and has reasonable rent. Unfortunately, the management is terrible.
My first experience with the Front Office was a pleasant one, as I signed the lease the first time I visited. The rent was affordable for Arlington/Alexandria area. (Mostly due to not being in walking distance to a metro stop.) The apartment complex runs a shuttle to the Pentagon City metro stop, but frequently misses scheduled pick up times. The pool is an awesome feature and one I use frequently. My second year at the apartment complex they started to charge residents a fee to bring guests to the pool. During my first year, my roommate had to move back home and therefore I found a new roommate. At no point in time did the front office make this transition seamless. In fact, they lost paperwork, they were never on the same page as management, and were consistently disrespectful. During this time I frequently asked to speak to a manager to address any issues and the manager in turn would hang up the phone on me. My new roommate and I decided to renew for 6 months and looked at the option of moving within the complex to a bigger apartment. This was not received well by the front office who did absolutely nothing to aid us when looking at other apartments on the complex. One time in particular, they handed us the keys to several apartments and said "go check them out for yourself." Rent is automated in the apartment system. Recently, the front office did not run my roommates portion of the rent, like they typically do. Instead, of reaching out to let us know there was a problem, they put an eviction notice on our front door. Naturally, we were panicked and reached out and after 4 phone calls and dropping into the office twice, we were finally able to get in touch with someone. At that point the problem was solved. Overall, the apartment is older, but renovated. The small buildings give the complex a more home like feel. The biggest negative of the actual apartment would be the noise level. My experience with the front office has been so incredibly bad, that it has negated any positive features this particular complex has to offer.
It truly is living at the park - green courtyards and full grown trees surround this community style complex. The apartments are spacious with an open floor plan and breakfast bar, with fresh paint and clean carpets waiting for you when you move in! The community is pet friendly, and the staff are not only helpful, but make the extra effort to ensure any maintenance or concierge requests are taken care of promptly. The only things I would change would be assigned parking spaces and a closer location to the metro - but with a courtesy shuttle operating during AM/PM rush hours, it's still only 10 minutes away.
The Park is a great to live; I've been here four years and they have a great gym, 24 hour concierge service, and terrace apartments! The parking can be tough but it's great for dogs and they just built a new dog park!
The Park at Arlington Ridge is a good place for young professionals. There are lots of nice perks, like a gym and shuttle to metro. There are a lot of extra fees, and they will try to raise the rent if you want to renew the lease. You can usually negotiate away some of the fees or rent hikes. The move-in specials are good deals, but it gets expensive after a while. My wife and are will be moving out after three years for a bigger apartment. Good for dog lovers. Parking is difficult: the lot fills up at night and passes are limited - and they will tow if you do not have a pass. Street parking is difficult too.
I have lived at the Park at Arlington Ridge for over a year and have been happy with my apartment. They are older garden style buildings that have been renovated. Lots of green space and close to the city! Management has its ups and downs. Just be aware of any hidden fees (i.e. for adding someone to a lease/roommate change.) Maintenance is very responsive and fixes issues very timely.
I was looking for a pet-friendly apartment but didn't want to settle with a single bedroom. Unfortunately, in this high cost area, single bedrooms are the norm. I managed to find a solid 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom for a price that would normally only get me a studio/1BR. The apartment complex has the suburb feel but is a short distance away from the nightlife. There is a free shuttle bus that takes you to the metro, which is handy; I haven't had to drive to work in quite some time. A Capital Bikeshare is readily available and taxi (or Uber) rides into the city is relatively cheap. And if you still need to drive, I395 is close by. I took off one star only because the parking lot can fill up quick. Additionally, while the interior has been modernized, the exterior looks somewhat like a military barracks. I routinely get asked by friends who come to visit if these were barracks at some point.
Personally, I would not recommend this apartment complex to others. The units are nice and there are a number of amenties that are nice such as shuttle service to the metro station, a computer lab, consierge desk, etc. But, keep in mind you are paying more for that stuff. The apartments are billed as"luxury", but maintenance and management do not approach things that way for the extra money. Getting stuff taken cared of is like pulling teeth in that it takes multiple requests/complaints to get things done. Management's answer to dog waste left on the lawns is to keep sending leters to all the residents. They give you a parking placard to park in the parking lots--one placard per apartment. However, there are not enough parking spots for even one car per apartment. Thus, residents with a placard end up fighting for street parking. Do they assigj spots or add some spots? No. They painted new lines in the parking lots in the early summer, which inconvenienced every resident. No big deal except that they then decided to re-pave the parking lots in late summer, inconveniencing everybody all over again. To get something repaired properly in your apartment will take multiple attempts--having to call them back each time. The maintenance guys drive around the complex, but will drive right by missing and loose bricks in the sidewalks--or a pile of dog plop on the sidewalk. They will walk right by garbage on the ground or garbage like sofas, chairs, and mattresses piled all around the receptacle areas (which looks bad). Management always say they will address complaints, but it is either with a mass letter or nothing at all. They are not proactive, but reactive--and even then it is not that reactive. Not for as much rent you pay to live here and for a place advertised as luxury. It is a showy place, but offers little else when and where it counts. I would recommend cheaper places that get things done over a showy place that does not.
Do not live here if you expect quality service from the office staff and management. I have called and visited them numerous times (and never seen the same employee twice) about numerous problems. The worst issue is their inability to follow up. I have informed them five times now that I am not on any email listserv and have not received any emails from them. This has resulted in me being uninformed about any changes in the parking policies, and therefore, three different friends have had their cars towed after coming over for dinner. This is an unnecessary occurrence because any knowledge would have been welcome. It is not the policy itself which is the greater issue, but their absolute inability to ensure that all residents are informed of any changes. I've also filed dozens of noise complaints against one neighbor and they have done absolutely nothing to resolve this issue. Absolutely no one is helpful, no one offers any apologies or any potential resolutions for these issues. I am extremely disappointed because it is a great location, but because of the ineptitude of the office staff and management, I cannot wait to move out.
Property Manager at The Park At Arlington Ridge, Responded To This Review
My experience with the staff here has been equally dismal. I found someone to sublet my apartment, and I had to call four times before reaching someone who was able to process the application and knew the correct paperwork to fill out. The three different people I called initially didn't know how to do anything and asked if they could have someone else call me back. No one ever did, so I'd call again and the process repeated until I finally reached the one person who knew what was going on. They're very frustrating to work with.
