Fort Strong Villas - 1 Bedroom Review
I absolutely love living on the third/top floor on one of the Fort Strong Villas apartments. I have the best views of the picnic area, a lot of natural light, and wonderful neighbors. I also enjoy sitting out on my balcony when I telework or complete readings for graduate school. The apartment buildings are most certainly old and have a lot of old appliances. They do not provide a microwave, but the apartment itself is spacious, including ample closet space. They do not have any extra amenities like a pool or gym, but they do have center "courtyard" parking (for $35/month), free street parking, and allow pets for a monthly fee.

Tons of space, few amenities.
Pros: Our two-bedroom apartment is massive - about 1000sqf plus a large balcony. It is a very pet-friendly community (we have a large lab). We have one designated parking space and all utilities are included in rent, which makes budgeting very easy. We also have a storage room in the basement. The maintenance and office teams are nice. We are about two blocks from a grocery store, a 12-min walk from the metro, and a 15-min walk to good bars/restaurants.
Cons: There are no (and I mean NO) amenities and the property is old. There is no gym, no pool, no outdoor gathering or grilling space, etc. There is one washer and one dryer in the basement to be shared by twelve apartments. The stove/oven is old and fairly unreliable. The bathrooms really need an update.
Overall: Great if your priorities are space, cheap rent ($1750 for two bedrooms with included utilities is pretty great), and pet friendly. If those aren't your main goals, go somewhere else.

Lyon Village Reviews
MOM's market is on-site. I shop there occasionally but prefer the cheaper option of Giant down the street (a short drive or walk). The metro is a short and safe 5-minute walk away. The building does sit right off Lee Highway, but I have never had any noise or other problems associated with this. I like how quickly I can pull onto the major road instead of navigating around crowded city traffic. I drive to school in under 5 minutes via Lee Highway.
