Great location

Richmond Square is located directly across the street from the metro. While it is lacking in some amenities (i.e., pool), the location is hard to beat, as it is directly across the street from the metro. The studio is enough space for a single person with a large walk-in closet and large bathroom. The bedroom area is sectioned off so it does not feel like you're sleeping in your living room. The gym could use some improvement, as the machines that are there haven't been updated for a while. Pets are not allowed, which is a bummer. The management and maintenance staff generally seem to take care of issues immediately, which is great.

Great location

Richmond Square has been a great first place to live in when moving to the DC area. It is less than a block away from the Ballston metro, which allows for convenient transportation to work and DC. Rent is comparable to other locations.

Great location but old building with outdated amenities

This is a great location. I don't think you can get closer to the Ballston metro. The management company is very responsive and address any issues within a day. Marsha, the building manager, is amazing as she goes above and beyond to help you with any building related issues.

Good place to live outside of DC. A block from Ballston metro and big apartments.

Richmond Square

If you are ok with a short metro ride (3 metro stops away from Rosslyn) then this is a great place to look at. I am half a block away from the metro and my commute from door to door is about 30 mins.

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!
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Avalon Ballston Square
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.
