Cherry Hill

I’ve only been living here for a few weeks but I really enjoy it so far.
Pros: No move in/​move out issues or time constraints like I had with other apartments in the DC metro area. The rent is really a great value here. Their maintenance service is A+++ I put a work order in one morning and that evening before I got home the issue was resolved. Great location and easy to get anywhere. Utilities are included in the rent. Separate temperature control in each room so everyone is happy ! Parking is also free. I have not ran into a problem yet with not having a space, but late at night the lot does seem to fill up.
The grocery next store is really nice and affordable. I am so happy I no longer have to step into GIANT again.
Cons: It is rather loud in the apartment. You can hear people walk upstairs rather noticeably. At night I just run a fan to drown out the noise. The Kitchen could also be updated a little more but for the price of rent — I was willing to settle.
So far A+ Cherry Hill.

I moved in here a little more than a year ago and have been pleased with my experience overall. This is probably the least expensive place that you can rent in this part of Arlington. Utilities are included and many times you can get into Cherry Hill on a month to month lease because of the way they manage their lease amendment process.
The apartment building is within walking distance to:
Safeway
a nail salon
hair cuttery
chinese takeout
phở
the Italian Store
Subway
Starbucks
Dunkin Donuts
and many other places.
Ubers to Clarendon are almost always less than $ 7.00 no matter what sort of scary surge is happening. Generally you get there for $ 5.00, the minimum. Awesome.
Dittmar is a pretty reasonable property management company to deal with. I will say they had a less than optimally productive property manager for a long time until they hired Stephanie. Stephanie is literally an angel. I had a few things wrong with our apartment that had gone unresolved until Stephanie started. She had them fixed right away. The difference with Stephanie there is beyond measure. I have called the property management office a little before they were supposed to be open and she answered, and she responds to emails in just about live time, it’s awesome. Her attentiveness makes a HUGE difference.
The parking situation at Cherry Hill is pretty great. Everyone has a parking space and I almost always can park immediately in front of my apartment. There is no guest parking though. I have my guests park in the neighborhood behind the building or at Safeway depending on the time of day.
The building is quiet and safe. I find it is mostly young professionals and families with young kids, not a lot of teenagers or older folks. They do have a gym on site but it’s just a few treadmills with a TV that doesn’t change channels and isn’t climate controlled very well. I honestly don’t mind that because I only use it as a last resort and it’s key secured which is nice. I wish that the TV worked or that they had Wi-​fi, that would be awesome.
I wish they would replace our carpet and I wish our washer and dryer wasn’t so loud but I have a washer and dryer in suite at an affordable price so I can’t really complain.
