Aqua on 25th Street Apartments

the debris that the birds have nested in is also visible as it protrudes from the louvre vents. Not only are the birds not removed, they have no routine maintenance for cleaning dryer vents, creating a major fire concern.

right to your room. THIN WALLS: The first two months it was great! Nice and quiet for a guy working 12-14 hour days 7 days a week while the complex was completing construction. Enter the third month of living there and the neighbor moved in upstairs and below. Within days I found myself below a herd of buffalo. The ceiling was so thin you could hear the washing machine, the dishwasher, the tenant, and the drunk boyfriend everynight. Once the neighbor below moved in I started receiving complaints from management about the noise I was making while getting ready for work around 4am so this seemed to be a common problem somehow though I manage to get ready every morning and not wake up my girlfriend in the same bed as me. BROKEN AMENITIES: It was not until my fourth month at the apartment that I went to go use the rooftop grills. All three grills were not working. This is alarming seeing that a brand new complex has three broken grills within six months of opening. **MILITARY BEWARE:** Most important thing to me being active duty military. I received orders to return to my home command. I went to the office to exercise my SCRA rights to terminate the lease and turned in my keys. After about a week I received an e-mail saying that my request to terminate the lease was "Denied" because my orders were "preexisting" and therefore not valid. After a week of battling I turned everything over to the legal department at my command for them to handle. The property owners clearly did not understand how military orders work and they stated that I should have notified them that I could not fullfil the 12 month lease when I was signing even though this was a special modification to my orders to send me home early. Bottom line is that they are very strict with military and they abide by SCRA benefits to a T and then some. Beware of any complex owned by "The Breeden Company".

handicap unit and I spent every night listening to a motorized cart rumbling all over 24/7. When I mentioned it to security, I was told noise is relative. Not the best reply. I should have been made aware I was going to be under a handicap unit at the time of signing my lease. 2. The smell! Yes, we were treated to the Trash Fairy who would swoop in and collect all the trash placed in your hallway by 9PM. Though some residents couldn't set their clocks correctly and would put out their trash after 9PM. This trash then sat in a very closed-in hallway for another 24 hours. My nose would be greeted to old pizza boxes and pet poop aromas each evening as I walked to my apartment. 3. Building structure! Fire alarm malfunctions are common at all hours. During Hurricane Matthew, the rain water poured through my porch door, flooring my living room floor and ruining my wool rug. No fix offered for the leaking door nor reimbursements for rug cleaning. 4. Waiting time! Yes, I adored the parking garage staff BUT the 25th Street parking garage is also a public lot. In the morning hours there is no human at the booths and those paying had to negotiate the difficult electronic payment system. I literally sat waiting for people to pay for their public parking for more than 25 minutes before I could exit the garage. Add that to your daily commute time. You need to weigh the pros and cons before a signing a lease here!

there are homeless people wandering about, but I can deal with that. Like the unfortunate gentleman who was urinating on the wall in the garage this morning. Who could blame him? It was raining and cold. How was he to know I was on my way to my car to go to work? Now you can't blame the staff for the poor construction. That's the architect's fault. The staff, God bless them are suffering along with everyone else. So if you're deaf, come on down! It's quite lovely otherwise. BTW, while I was writing this, I stopped to see if I could find out just where in the world the pile driver was coming from. Is it above me? Is it below me? Is it on the roof? Who knows? The steel in the building's structure will share it all with you no matter where you are, so come on down!

fish - to watching the spectacular summer weekly fireworks from the 24th st. barge, Aqua has something for everyone. The inviting lobby, lounge, and game room on the 1st floor, 2nd floor state of the art large fitness room, and outdoor tranquil pool are great places to unwind or mingle with your friends and neighbors. The included amenities are extensive - dog grooming facilities, front door trash pickup, reserved covered parking spots, dry cleaning pickup (for a fee), bike rentals and postal deliveries. The floor plans are spacious and open with large bathrooms and bedrooms, granite kitchen islands with sinks and stainless steel appliances. The personnel at Aqua are very professional and provide excellent service. Jamie, the property office manager, is always helpful and responds quickly to any concerns or needs. Sammy, the senior maintenance guy, has a fantastic personality and is like your personal handy man and go-2 man. I rate this place a 6 on a scale from 1-5 and would highly recommended this place to anyone wanting to enjoy living in a great environment.

finished and i may give it a better review, but for now i remain disappointed in the pre season performance.

conversation couches AND private tables for 2 with heating and fans above them with breathtaking views and sounds of the Atlantic Ocean! It's quite magical how they situated the apartments pool surrounded by the apartments located in the center of the building for private residence use! The grounds around the pool with river rocks, fountains are something you see at a high end resort/dos! Currently there building decks to lounge overlooking the pool! Every space is completely thought thru including the space in the luxury apartments! The parking garage is a great bonus and free the first year where in anyplace I've experienced with overhead parking it's pricey! As a resident of Virginia Beach and owning a vehicle you are authorized a free permit parking decal and additional 2 parking placquards for purchase for street parking (20 each if I recall correctly) issued from the city FYI (located on Birdneck road by the 264). The appliances I find I the middle of the road which are very nice btw! Overall the first thought seeing the apartments and location you think "oh I bet there loud and to small for the sq footage you get" FAR FAR from the truth! Take a tour you'll love them and the construction is nearing the end of completion .. I'd give 10 stars if possible! Kimberly

parking passes. If you have overnight guests you have to get on a waiting list and pray for a pass, there are only 50 available for 150 tenants. Forget about resident guest passes from the city you are not eligible. Just getting in and out of the garage is a nightmare in the evenings or weekends. WAY TOO MUCH traffic. Forget about getting in and out of the building, they still don't have regular access doors in working order. The property is a mess, garbage scattered all around outside, no one cleans up from the crowds that go in and out of the parking garage.
