This review will save you from making a decision you will come to regret. I'm going to be severely honest and will start with the good.
1. Location and convenience is a life saver as its right across the street from Giant, Target and other shopping in which I absolutely LOVE. The area in my opinion is safe I've never seen anything bad but I can only speak for the past 6 months as that's how long I've been a resident.
2. I don't have to drive to the grocery store unless i choose to go to another grocers even Harris Teeter is in walkable distance (about a mile)
3. Public Transportation is good I take the bus to work in Crystal City it picks up right in front of Giant and drops off in the same vicinity so again no driving.. Although after COVID19 I'll be rethinking public transportation.
Now for the bad so read carefully.
1. Noise is awful - I hear the neighbors dogs barking but that i can deal with its the noise from humans i can't tolerate.
My lease will be up in just a few more months and i assure you it will be over.
All the people that has given great reviews must live on the top floor or have a quiet neighbor like myself. Constant stomping across the floor all day dragging furniture and they play their TV extremely loud (maybe its to drown out the noise that they hear above them who knows but its awful. I have a 2 bedroom and i can't work in my spare bdr because the television is so loud.

The walls are SUPER thin in my master bedroom I can hear them snoring above me and stomping across the floor and dude its carpet in the bedrooms so that should tell you something.

I can hear them in the bathroom peeing the pipe system is also loud flushing the toilet sounds like a stampede coming down the walls. I'm also a content creator on youtube and it's sometimes difficult to record because of the noise sometimes i just edit it into my content.

2. Besides the noise let me inform you of the apartment itself, at first glance you'll think it's nice but heres what to look for.
a. theres no lighting in any of the bedrooms you'll need to get lamps
b. theres no lighting in the living room you'll need to get lamps.
c. power outlets are spread around and don't make much sense so if you have extra stuff to plug in you'll need extension cords.
d. theres a window and sliding door in the master bedroom don't open it, in fact don't even open the blinds because bugs will find their way in somehow.
e. the apartment makes no sense,, there's no storage space so if you have appliances such as blenders pressure cookers etc. you'll have to store them either above the fridge or under the sink because that's the ONLY cabinet large enough to fit anything. You'll have to store your pots and pans in the bottom drawer under the oven. Which I hate doing. Some of my things i couldn't even unpack because of the storage issue.
d. the cabinets in the bathroom are awful they use those metal wire cabinets so you'll need baskets to put your stuff in because most bottles will not stand up on it.
e. the hallway cabinet is a joke nothing will fit in there.
d. my apartment has the stackable washer and dryer, I HATE IT. The dryer door will not stay open so you'll bang your head on the dryer door when bending down and up to get your clothes from the washer to put them in the dryer.

I wish the renters before me would have warned me but i'm sure they couldn't get out of hear fast enough. Before I move i'll update this review with the floor and apartment number I'm in so you'll know which one to stay away from. Who knows maybe you can deal with it better than me. These apartments are way too expensive to have to deal with all the noise being that they're not cheap the construction of them is extremely poor quality so move in at your own risk you've been warned.
