City - Arlington

Directly across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., Arlington is less a suburb than an extension of the nation’s capital. It’s the home of the Pentagon, Arlington National Cemetery, and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, with a number of waterfront parks offering beautiful views across the river to the National Mall.

The community provides a wide range of living options, from apartments, townhomes, and duplexes to condos and houses. A major reason for Arlington’s popularity is that there is so much to do. Washington may be packed with monuments, museums, and other sightseeing landmarks, but Arlington holds the advantage when it comes to the more day-to-day shopping, dining, entertainment, and nightlife.

You’ll have several options for getting around town or into D.C., whether you choose to drive, take the Metro, or ride your bike — Arlington has earned a silver rating from the League of American Bicyclists.

I absolutely love living at gables 1221. I first moved in back in 2019, then I took a hiatus from 2022-part of 2023 to live in Hawaii, then signed a 13-month lease on September 22, 2023. I couldn't be more excited! From the amenities to the serenity of the building, Gables 1221 truly feels like home to me. Thank you so much to the Gables staff, too, who make the experience even more pleasant.

It’s a great building - love my apartment. Great location. However, the rent is very high for a building without upscale amenities. There is a small gym and office area with a printer, but still not as nice as other places with that price.

I’ve been living at the complex for a month, and so far, so good. I just wish we had been shown the actual unit before we signed the lease. When we toured we were shown the model, which had a nice view. The actual apartment doesn’t; looks out to the restaurant’s parking lot and dumpsters. Other than that, it’s a nice community.

Nice place, but terrible management team

I do not recommend this building. While nice on the outside and nice units themselves, the management team is incompetent and downright shady. They tell you one thing even if it is wrong, they won't own up to it. I was told that upon moving out the utility account would be switched back to Gables. They never did this. As a result I was charged utilities for 2.5 months, including for the new tenant's use, and they refused to reimburse me. Completely dishonest. Stay away from this place.

First of all very quiet, well insulated walls. Very responsive maintenance. I mostly ran into William, always very friendly, helpful, problem solving, responsible, and goes above and beyond to help. Other staff, Joann, Garry, and Steven are great. They handle issues very positively and efficiently. They always try to accommodate for your needs. Everything is kept clean and maintained well.

Nice place.great location. Pet fee is $500, and it is not a deposit. The fitness center has the bare minimum. It’s not worth the current spike in rent prices.

I've been living at Gables for almost a month now and love it! My apartment is beautiful, spacious and clean. The leasing manager, Joanne, has been so helpful with anything I've needed and a pleasure! Maintenance has also been super fast to respond to each request and are extremely nice. I love the location because it feels like it's in a more private area, and off the main roads, but also really close to anything I need and even in walking distance from many places.

Good community with little noise and great location. The side patio is a great perk to the building. Close to town but still quiet. Overall a good place

The apartments are nice. They're also quiet inside and on a quiet street. Maintenance fixes things quickly, and the front office staff are the best!

Hidden gem (but a bit tricky pricing)

It's like a hidden gem community for me. The only thing honestly I don't like the pricing/quote system changing every day and the admin fee nonreturn $600 bucks but I thought it worth it. The community itself, location, etc look perfect for me.

Property Manager at The Alcott, Responded To This Review

Thank you for your positive comments about our community and for making us your home. We are glad to know our location is perfect for you! Unfortunately, we cannot change the pricing/quote system but if we can enhance your experience in any other way, please do not hesitate to reach out to the office. We are grateful for your review.

Lax management lead to theft of 20 bikes

Very incompetent staff. They allow contractors to leave garage doors open for days. This lead to a theft of around 20 bikes that were locked up in the parking garage bike rack. Even with insurance I was unable to receive the full value of my bike returned. The contractors are still leaving the doors open and unlocked, and when this is brought to the management's attention, they do nothing about it and are apathetic. Do not move here if you value your property.
