Clean and adequate

We moved into Thomas Court just as the building was opening in 2011. Due to the building's youth, it is in excellent shape, the appliances function well, and the amenities that are available are quite nice (the gym, community room, and computer room). It is regrettable that the building does not have any outdoor amenities like grills or a pool though.

Affordable and well kept

Main issue is not having management/concierge on the property. Also, rent has to be paid via check and there is no option to pay online. The building is fairly new and close enough to metro. Street parking is a plus and you can usually find it for your guests.

Overpriced, but a nice, new building

Great apartment, but overpriced. Parking and utilities are not included on top of expensive rent. Metro and restaurants are walkable. Surrounding neighborhood is safe. Management is helpful in resolving repairs and issues and is very accommodating when needed.

About Ballston

Living in the suburbs and still finding a vibrant city a few blocks away is what Ballston is all about. Reach the city with great ease, and find some great restaurants such as the Tutto Bene and the Caribbean Breeze, or maybe the Taste of Arlington Annual Street Fair. If that is not appealing enough...

Ballston is a relatively residential area that is pretty affordable given it's proximity to DC. Good restaurants and cafes, easy transit, but no loud bars or clubs. That could be a positive or negative depending on what you're looking for.
Reviewed by Young Professional living at Altavista Condominium
I personally like being in Arlington. Everything is walkable and while it's not DC proper, it's very easy to get into the city via metro or a quick drive in. I've run to Georgetown in 20-30 minutes. There's stuff to do and there's everything you could need: gyms, grocery stores, shopping, restaurants, bars so close by. Ballston is a hub for transport so buses and the metro abound.
Reviewed by Anonymous living at Meridian at Ballston Commons
It can be a little noisy if you're too close to Wilson, Glebe or Fairfax roads, especially if you're right above the bus stop like I am, but nothing light background noise can't drown out; I sleep with a fan and I sleep like a baby. The public transport can't be beat, and it seems like a new restaurant opens every day. I'm interested in looking at houses in the area when I can afford to buy!

We are right across from Ballston Quarter which has a Union Market type of food court. The area is developing so quickly, very trendy and everything is within walking distance. Even though it's very walkable it does not feel as congested as DC.
Reviewed by Young Professional living at Meridian at Ballston Commons
I definitely feel that it's up and coming-- so much construction and many new restaurants and shops popping up! IT's very walkable. It's also pretty safe and it's close to highways, the Potomac, to DC, etc so the location is pretty great.

I love living in Ballston. I don’t have a car and never feel like I need one. Richmond Square is a block from the metro to take me into DC, and there are plenty of places to eat and things to do right here in Ballston.
Reviewed by AmericanU Graduate Student living at Altavista Condominium
Great spot for young people. There are tons of amazing restaurants and bars nearby that you can walk to. Also only a short metro ride to DC.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at The Maxwell
It's quiet but there are plenty of restaurants/coffee shops within walking distance and will be more when Ballston Quarter opens.
