As a former resident of 2 years here is my review.

Pros:
- Location! This location is great and convenient. It's one of the many reasons why we signed the lease to live here. It's right off of 95 with about 15 mins to DC depending on where you are going. It's right behind a plaza with the most convenient stores, such as Giant, Marshall's, Dollar Tree, etc. It's also in an area that is continuously building and growing which can benefit and potentially hurt the current neighborhood residents due... to increases.

- Cleaning Crew! I loved the cleaning staff. One particular lady was there every morning cleaning the building.

- Concrete flooring and walls, you literally hear nothing from neighbors, but it did help that we were near the stairwell and model apartment (technically, we did not have neighbors).

Cons:
- The is a 7/11 right next door to the building where people constantly hang out.

- The garage is constantly broken. Whether it was a resident hitting it or mechanical failure, it was pretty constant. This was unsafe to the extent that people could easily access residents' cars and the storage units on-site, which lead to ours being broken into just before New Year's Day. It took some time and follow-up for the storage to be repaired and although there were cameras on the property, management was not as helpful with figuring out what had occurred.

- Packages are readily exposed. Although there are lockers, packages were constantly left outside of mailboxes and big bins outside of the lockers, making them susceptible to theft as people deliver food, have guests, etc.
- Elevators were out of order for a while. At one point, we only had one working elevator for months.

Over the course of the two years, I definitely saw a decline. We moved there during COVID, so we received a great rate, as the market has changed, so did the increase in rent, which was fine, but at the rate it was being increased to...the complex needed much more work for the luxury rate that was being charged.

A lot of hidden fees here. They charge current residents a $60 renewal fee. No other apartments does that. The parking situation here is worse. In February a new policy went into place. No more reserved space for everyone for a fee. Now everyone pays a fee and only 40 reserved spaces. Everyone else has to drive around and look for a space.
Loud noises from the elevators. Leasing agents will confirm this. The elevator brake is on top of elevator creating a loud banging noise. A lot of your... neighbors have medical marijuana cards from DC and smoke weed everyday. The place reeks of marijuana.
Also read other reviews from other sites. The reviews here are outdated and the others are written by Gables staff. Don't trust Justin the office manager. Ask him about surrounding neighborhood. Look up the police reports for lincolnia road. Read More

New management company, Gables, raised rent tremendously, causing many folks to move out. Greedy company asking for a renewal fee if you stay. If you get in on a good rate....9 times out of 10, it will be raised within a yr.

Management companies continuously changing - we're on our third now. This last company, Gables, has raised rent drastically...from $60-$80 to $1500 yearly increases. Don't forget the yearly processing fee for current tenants. As I type, one elevator working, garage gate up ($75 monthly parking fee), not operating by key thob. #NotImpressed

These apartments are amazing! I have a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment and it’s so spacious! The neighbors are quiet and don’t make much noise. People here are extremely friendly! My kids always go through the office once getting off the school bus and they just love stopping by to say hello to Rachel. They say how nice she is and how she asks about their day! Rachel is by far one of the best most caring person. The people in this apartment complex are so friendly we all look out for one another... . I love living here! My kids have made so many friends and they love it here. Great apartments to live in! Read More
