- convenient, safe building

- not enough storage space
- great location -- one block from the metro, close to gym, grocery store, restaurants, etc.
Great Apartment!
Richmond Square has been great. Maintenance is always fast, it's not too noisy, and it's in a great location. Haven't had any major maintenance issues, and the minor issues I've had have been solved quickly. There is a doorman 24/7 and I've always felt safe here.
However, the apartment doesn't allow pets unless you have a service animal. There is no pool, but they just re-did the gym and community rooms. There is also free printing.

What you would expect
My experience with Richmond Square has been very good. Sometimes the management doesn’t communicate that well, but that also means that they give you your space. Maintenance is done promptly, and our packages are always handled properly. I would recommend Richmond Square.

Richmond Square Apartments Review
Great apartment, a bit overpriced

Richmond Square
The apartment is really convenient to the office and is right across the street from the Ballston Metro. While it doesn't have the nicest bells and whistles, it has a game room w/ a pool table, a nice gym room, and a huge community room that you can reserve (doesn't cost money, only a deposit) to host friends.
The apartment is pretty solid and I haven't had any issues with the management either.

Good option close to the metro, cheap enough
It's a solid building. No big complaints. Very close to metro for access to DC/Tysons. Not as expensive as some surrounding buildings, but also not quite as nice. Spacious, good closet space, good gym, good mail/delivery service.
Units and amenities are nice, but lack upgrades you would get if you paid more for similar buildings in the area. Management is not the most responsive or helpful, but generally did not bother me.

Great apartment!
I really love my apartment in Richmond Square! The floor plan is very roomy, and the maintenance staff is very responsive. The apartment is steps from the Ballston metro and there a tons of food options nearby.
The only complaint I have is that the pipes are loud, so I can often hear water flowing in the pipes above my bathroom ceiling. Other than that, no other complaints!

Great location, but expensive
Great location - one block from metro, close to gym, grocery store, restaurants, etc. Building is in good condition with the exception of the elevators, which break every other day. Pretty expensive but to be expected in this area... overall a convenient, safe building.

Clean and nice, but $$$
Apartment is clean and relatively spacious. Recently redone amenities - gym, lobby, etc. Pretty expensive but you're paying for the location. Half a block from the metro so can't get much better. Plenty of restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, gym nearby. Pretty quiet. Could use more lighting in bedrooms.

Safe and Clean
It's safe and clean.
There is a Trader Joe's twenty minutes away (by foot) and a Harris Teeter about five minutes away. There is also a mall five minutes away that has as a CVS, movie theater, and a hair cutter.
The commute to the law school is about 20-25 minutes on the Orange or Silver line (the metro ride itself is about 10 minutes)

Richmond Square
Richmond Square is a nice place to live. It is across the street from Ballston Metro, which makes it extremely convenient, and there are bars and restaurants nearby (though they are mostly chains). A high school with a track is within walking distance, it's about a half-mile to the Custis Trail, and the gym is one of the best I've seen in an apartment building. We haven't had too many issues with things having to be repaired so I can't comment on that. One issue is that there is not enough storage space, but we're dealing. Overall a really nice place to live.
