Margate Manor

At my building there is a mice infestation that resulted in catching over 20 mice! We had to put sticky mice traps all over the apartment. They also take all your deposit for "cleaning". Who charges over 400 for cleaning a 900.sqft apartment? I do not recommend living there unless you don't mind mice crawling all over the apartment as pets.

The office staffs and maintenance staff are rude. The maintenance staff knocks on doors as if to break them down and enters the room in dirty dirty dirty shoes. They don't leave any notes when they enter the apartment. It's kinda scared. Homeless people come in and out of apartment buildings in the evening and early morning. And they sleep inside the building sometimes.

I really enjoyed living at Margate Manor. The apartments are very nice, in a very safe area , and affordable. Shannon and Debbie are so kind and really take good care of everyone! They are always happy to help. The maintenance team is wonderful too! I would recommend these apartments to anyone!

Margate is amazing! While it's an old building, it's well maintained and is beautifully landscaped. The property managers and maintenance workers became like family! 10/10 would recommend to everyone I know in the area.

I wish I can give negative rating. WORST PLACE TO LIVE Issues I faced, 1. There was centipede in house (found them in bed room, living room, bathroom everywhere. Complained to management multiple times but they can't fix it permanent) 2. I became a victim of house egging. 3. Apartment is very old that if people upstairs walk you can hear that. People living downstairs called cops multiple times because you walk to bathroom/kitchen in the night) very unfriendly neighbors. 4. They never cleaned AC vent. it was dirty and dusty alot. 5. Community will deduct your deposit for no reason. They just want money anyhow. think twice before you move HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The apartment is nice for the price but the maintenance staff is incredibly unprofessional. When they need to do something, there is never any notice and they bang on your door like the building is on fire at all hours for minor things. They don't wait to enter if you ask for a minute. If they enter your apartment when you're not home, they don't leave a notice like most professional companies. It's very unsettling to come home to find things moved around and you don't know who was in your apartment unless you call the office to check. Twice they shut off the water to the whole building for hours in the evening with zero notice. We found out by trying to turn on the kitchen sink to fill a pot to boil water for dinner. The office staff is nice and helpful, but I've never lived in a place with maintenance like this.

My husband and I moved into a 1 bedroom as our first apartment after getting married. It's a much larger space than other apartments in the area and at a great price point. The appliances are not new, and the overall feel is not as modern as some other places, but we decided we would rather have the space than a fancy stove top. Definitely the right call. Be aware that there aren't laundry units in each apartment, but units for each building. However, we haven't had any issues with that and have never had to wait long if we needed to run a load. The apartments are decently sound proof in the back bedroom area, but not near the entryway and around the front door. We live on the first floor and have never heard footsteps or anything else above us, but if someone is talking loudly in the hallway, we will hear that. I definitely recommend checking the place out!

My wife and I moved to Margate Manor right after graduating from college and getting married. We lived here for 7 years. The apartment was beautiful and reasonably priced. The neighborhood quiet and well-maintained. As a matter of fact, our maintenance man lived on site and was quick to come help us if we put in a call. There are many stores and restaurants in the area. The Fairfax Cue bus will take you right to Vienna Metro if you need to go into the city. It's really convenient. I would recommend Margate Manor to anyone looking for clean, affordable apartment living.
