Edlandria

I have lived at Edlandria for six years. They have been excellent the entire time. The rent is very competitive for the area. The apartments are clean. The staff is excellent. The area is safe with many wholesome working class families. More than anything though I have been very impressed with their service. They have never tried to nickel and dime me. If I ever had a problem, even major ones, maintenance immediately came and dealt with the problem.

Used to be a great place. Nowadays if you walk around you will smell Marijuana off and on and even if your windows are open. Management is incapable to take any action against that because of their policies. Despite no smoking community this issue is something I feel is unfixable. They issue 2 parking permit per apartment. Strange thing is 1 or 2 bed get treated same. That means an apartment with 2 occupants and one with 4 gets only 2 parking spots. Despite no pet community there are pets seen all around and no enforcement to that policy is seen.

We didn't have rodent issue before but recently scratching between the walls can be heard. Some buildings have more severity than others.

Lastly one of the biggest disadvantage is no central heating/ac. Management decides when heat or ac is turned on. If you open window you smell Marijuana.

Only internet option is xfinity. It's what building wiring supports.

Lot of room for improvement.

Our third car has been vandalized since moving in July 2020. Our car was clearly keyed on the driver side with intent. It’s an obvious key and those scratches were not there but since recently. Some of the damage is deeper than the other, damaging the paint.
Last time I brought this to the property managements attention they told me there was nothing they could really do.
I just want to make people aware that this community is not as safe as we hoped it was for a family with a little one.

I lived here for two years with my roommate, and I will gladly say I wouldn’t have wanted to live anywhere else. They really come through on the things that matters. My first year, our fridge stopped working and maintenance fixed came in under a day. They are consistent with pest control and filter changes with reasonable notice beforehand.

My roommate and I had spent days making comprehensive spreadsheets comparing apartments pros/cons and this was our winner and well worth the excel efforts to find it.

They have fun raffles and events with food, but to me what is most important is how understanding and responsive and caring they were during my stressful moves.

I left this place because I wanted to go further from DC/Arlington/Alexandria busy city areas, but I really was happy to find this place and spend two years here.

For being so close to everything and the price with utilities included, you aren’t going to get a better deal.

I guess my only critique would be better treadmills in the gym.

Other than that, I highly recommend this apartment for a great safe choice for moving to the area for the first time or families.

Just to echo what Anthony said, my vehicle was also strewn with graffiti a couple of weeks ago; thankfully much of it washed off, but this property has really gone downhill in the many years I've been here, where I've personally experienced rodent infestation (in spite of keeping a clean unit compared to others here) and dealing with an un-announced property renovation that led to my car being towed while the property denied any responsibility nor remuneration for.

Unfortunately, this property seems to have a strange penchant for approving and allowing a ton of questionable riff raff to occupy their dwellings nowadays, while the latter let their random kids run wild, doing whatever they want, hence case in point, what happened to my car.

Furthermore that "security guard" is worthless; there has been tons of soliciting that I've witnessed, at least on my end of the property, at nighttime and he's often nowhere to be seen, and I'm willing to bet anything that it's drug related.

The annual rent increases aren't appreciated either, especially nowadays when wages have stagnated or have been reduced, factoring in hyperinflation, and high gas prices. Pretty soon, you'll have a limited number of occupants left who themselves, will be barely able to stay or be eventually forced out by Dittmar.

Our cars were vandalized twice, two separate cars. Some marker on one and a stolen side mirror on the other. This occurred on May 25th and June 1st, just one week apart. Stopped by the leasing office and unfortunately nothing they could do. No cameras on buildings or around parking spaces. It is what it is just wanted to share my experience.

I don't know how many positive things I can say about property and property management team, but let me share a couple. The maintenance and property management are amazing. Been here for already 5, I believe pushing 6th year, nothing but positive things. They maintain the entire complex perfectly, maintenance is always on time - whenever you request something to be worked on/fixed, they get it done in under 24 hours, and I never place anything to be urgent. Units overall are great, quiet, clean (no nasty bugs or mice), neighbors are nice as well, just a perfect place. Management overall is amazing group of people. Highly recommend this community, keep up the great work guys!!
