Key Towers Apartments

I really enjoy living here despite there being some issues. The parking situation is not so good. My boyfriend and I finally got a reserved spot, it is $ 50 extra a month, but worth it since I work late and can never find a spot after 10 pm. Unfortunately, the pictures listed are not what most apartments look like. My kitchen is old and outdated and so is my bathroom. Still works but please do not expect to be getting brand new appliances and cabinets. They just redid all the floors and put wood instead of carpet, which is nice. The living space is pretty big and the closest are super spacious. Laundry is never a problem for me, they have 1 machine and 1 dryer on every floor. It does smell like trash sometimes when itnis left for a while, but I have never had an issue with maintenance and they have always responded right away to my requests. Staff has been nothing but nice to me, especially Wayne despite him no longer working in the building. People do not clean up after their dogs all he time and I do smell weed on my floor constantly. Overall, I do enjoy living here despite there being some issues. Nothing that would make me want to leave ASAP.

Spacious apartments, great windows and view, easy access to restaurants and shopping, easy access to 495/​395, friendly staff, an adequate gym (nothing fancy) for working out. I really enjoy living here.
The only downfall is the parking situation, but since I’ve lived here they have expanded the parking to the best of their ability and it hasn’t been much of an issue. Just don’t expect to have an easy time finding a place to park if you are coming home in the middle of the night.

We waited 10 minutes at the door until a resident let us in. There was an associate by the name of Victoria P. who was the only person in the office but shooed us away as she apparently had a work meeting over the phone. Despite scheduling a meeting two days prior at 10 am, she brushed us off, saying her work meeting won’t be done until 1030. She apologized for making us wait but kept defending herself saying we weren’t scheduled despite showing her our confirmation email.
Hey. We know it’s not your fault per se that someone didn’t let you know you have appointments, however you’re a representative to the business and the last thing we want to hear after being corralled around is «Not my fault».
If you’re going to be at a work meeting, don’t work alone. If you’re going to set up appointments, make sure you use a system that informs the people involved that they have a meeting with prospective residents. Finally, never ever respond to a complaint with «It’s not my fault.»

Im so sad i really wanted to rent from here. I noticed upon arrival that there was extreme lack of parking at 12pm when everyone is at work. I had to wait for someone to leave before parking. I walked in and they didnt answer the phone when i buzzed them to open the door. Some random lady eventually opened it. I walked into the leasing office and stood there 3 mins in the middle of the floor before being acknowledged. Mind you there were three people in there 2 were arguing about something and the other were staring at his computer. I was a little pissed off because i had chevk in hand ready to apply. Finally the lady looked at me and assisted me. Felt like she was annoyed by me being there. I told her what i wanted as i have been stalking this init for 2 months i was ready to apply. She whipped out this floor plan and price list and zoomed through it then looked at me. I said «ok, may we please view the apartment?». She said no, they have no floorplans available. They have no model units. So she wanted me to apply online, pay $ 550.00 sign the lease on move in day and THEN i can see the apartment. No bueno… its a bummer because this place looks so beautiful from 395 but im not a fool.

The apartments are beautiful with huge windows and the location is absolutly perfect just minutes from DC, also within walking distance from resturants and shopping centers.

I just moved here a few weeks ago, and I am very pleased with my apartment. When I moved in, the apartment was very clean. The location is perfect: 15 mins from NW DC and 10 mins from shopping in Alexandria. The staff is very helpful and responsive when you need them. Everyone that lives here has been very nice and helpful in my experience so far, and the building is super quiet. The drawbacks are (in my opinion) minor, but they include that there is not sufficient parking for all residents (unreserved spots are not guaranteed), the water consistently changes temperature while showering, and my kitchen is very old (but I imagine that this varies between apartments). Overall a very pleasant move, and I look forward to living here at Key Towers!

The building was constructed before «cost minimization» became the driving factor in construction projects, meaning that the building is well built, solid, and QUIET! The office staff and service teams have been extremely responsive to any issues I have had. Because the building is relatively small, it allows the office staff to make every resident feel significant and important.

Lived here in 2008 – 2009. This place was the WORST place I have ever lived. The office staff was very rude. The doors were always broken. We didn’t have hot water for 6 months. People would take your clothes out of the dryer and use your time. Everything was just old and broken. There also wasn’t enough parking for the residents. Oh, did I mention how rude the staff was? Yeah, just don’t move here. The only good part about living here was the view of 395 and watching all of the accidents happen during «the snowpacalypse».

This is a good deal after 1 month of living here. The apartments are clean with wood floors and a security key that actually works all the time. There is a convenient trash chute and laundry room on each floor. It is not in Old Town but you can walk to get around or take the DASH bus and not break the bank on rent. These also have concrete between floors so only neighbors to the side are heard. Hopefully they won’t raise the rent every year. My only complaint is parking. You might want a reserved spot. The office staff have been very nice to work with and the neighbors have been respectful.
Update: moved out and this building has water issues and maintenance is not good
