  • DO NOT RENT here. ABNB & noise control are a major issue

    October 17, 2024
    They have multiple properties here, rented out as ABNB's. These short term rentals don't abide by any rules. Late night NOISE and Safety is a major concern.DO NOT RENT HERE.

  • No AC. Basically a Motel.

    April 15, 2024
    Management keeps AC off until May. It is 85 degrees in my apartment. Also unrented apartments are used as AirBnB so there is a influx of random people in the building.

  • DONT LIVE HERE

    October 18, 2022
    I lived at Ballston Place for 2 years. At the end of our second lease the leasing office contacted us about renewing. They wanted $800 more than what we currently paid and refused to negotiate with us even though we were great tenants. Then, we saw they listed OUR UNIT for only $50 more than what we were currently paying. I contacted the leasing office to ask about this and they said they ha da new "corporate policy" that locked in our renewal rate at the time our lease came up and that they ...
    could not offer us the $50 increase, only $800 more or get out. They are literally PENALIZING GOOD TENANTS because of this ridiculous policy. We also had multiple instances of FLOODING while we were there. DO NOT LIVE HERE. They do not care about their tenants, only their bottom line.

  • Great Property

    October 15, 2021
    Our experience with the Ballston Place community and leasing manager Mr. Gatling has been great thus far! Mr. Gaitling is always attentive to our needs and responds to any requests immediately. We would highly recommend this community and the Akelius company.

  • Shout out to Wardell for amazing customer service

    September 18, 2021
    I landed on Ballston Place after an exhausting and extensive apt search because the leasing manager Wardell was really great to work with and made the search easier for me. He was flexible and accessible from the start, demonstrated exemplary patience and understanding, and was generally a pleasant individual to work with. I eventually decided that a move was not in the cards for me at the moment, but when I am ready, I'll definitely consider Ballston Place as my top choice and hope to work with ...
    Wardell when I do.

  • Positive first impressions

    May 28, 2021
    Colleague referred me to this apartment. I was initially on the fence with applying given the earlier reviews however, the new Leasing Manager Wardell has been an excellent addition to the team. Wardell's friendliness, professionalism and responsiveness made the application and pre-move in process a breeze. I will update this review at the 1 year mark. Move in day observations. Separate loading dock and large service elevator is exceedingly convenient. ISP choices (xfinity, verizon, starry) were ...
    great. Unit is fairly large and well maintained. At the moment my only con has been the small gym.

  • Poor management and build quality

    May 10, 2021
    When we first moved the building was owned by a separate property manager. During the transition Akelius lost resident's paperwork so we were required to re-send documents to them. Residents were also recently requested to re-send their renters insurance documentation even though proof of insurance had to be sent when signing a lease. If a resident did not send the proof of insurance, Akelius was going to automatically enroll residents in renters insurance. Over the course of living here we have ...
    had four water leaks including one flooding. Maintenance had to come into our unit several times to fix the various issues related to the leaks as they didn't seem to do the job correctly the first time. Maintenance also entered our unit several times without knocking or notifying us that they were going to come or had been in the unit. The AC units in the apartments are incredibly old and the windows leak air so you can spend several hundreds of dollars a month trying to cool your apartment. During this spring management informed residents that the AC could not be turned on until the middle of April even though this had never been an issue in the years prior. When asked why, management indicated they had no idea what AC units were in each apartment as some very old units had to be switched on and slightly newer ones did not. We asked which unit we had and later learned that management blatantly lied to us when they said we had an old unit when a maintenance technician was fixing a leak and was asked what AC unit we had. While the location is good the poor management and build quality of the building should deter a potential resident from living here.

  • Personable, Professional, and Responsive Leasing Office

    April 6, 2021
    Moving across the country is difficult and we've been calling and taking virtual tours at many properties in the DC area. Out of all the properties that we contacted and worked with this one was truly the most responsive. After calling with various questions regarding the property, we started talking with Wardell in the leasing office who was very helpful, professional, and upfront. After seeing the apartment, he was very upfront with the costs and efficient in guiding us through the leasing ...
    process. We are now excited to move in!

  • So far, so good!

    February 4, 2021
    I recently moved into this complex and the process was extremely smooth and positive. Sonny in the leasing office helped me every step of the way and was extremely kind. I have just started living here but so far have had no issues or complaints. I had one work order involving something minor that was fixed a couple of hours after I requested it. So far it has been great and a place I would definitely recommend!

  • Poor management of community pool

    August 29, 2020
    I've lived here for many years and the latest management company, Akelius, leaves a lot to be desired. Like others have said, the pool was opened late this year because of a delayed renovation project. In addition, the pool is opened during pretty limited hours and is not open at all on Mondays or Tuesdays. Management seems to take any excuse to close the pool during scheduled hours. For example, if it rains during the morning, management likely will close the pool for the entire day, even ...
    if it doesn't rain at all and is instead sunny during scheduled pool hours. Rents here are not cheap, and it is disappointing for our pool to be closed when neighboring pools are open.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We did open a week later than the Covid-19 phase 3 guidelines allowed, but we hope the newly renovated pool, courtyard, fire pit and lounge area make up for it! Due to Covid-19, we were not able to secure as many lifeguards on staff as we expected to. We're doing our best to find an additional lifeguard so we are able to remain open late - through the end of September. Stay tuned!

  • Good property, bad management

    July 8, 2020
    Since Akelius took over the building, the property management quality went downhill. They keep raising the rates for existing clients all the time at an insane level. They always come up with unnecessary and very time consuming projects which never end and in the mean time they never focus on the essentials, such as working elevators or a decent gym, etc. e.g. This year pool is not opened because of a renovation project which was planned very poorly. In reality the building is really good but ...
    there are other buildings in the neighborhood with better management.
