Apartment Review for Foxchase Of Alexandria - Alexandria, VA

The apartments are decently priced for what you're getting. It's one of the few one bedrooms I could afford with a washer/dryer in unit. I will say the maintenance was always prompt and good, and the area is nice. However, commuting into the city is not ideal as you have to take a bus (which I do not prefer). Additionally, and most importantly, they screwed me over on my deposit return. I was not able to be there when they did the final walk-through because it was over the holidays, so of course there is no proof on either end of the condition of my apartment. I rented the apartment for a year, but hardly lived in it. I was always over at my boyfriend's apartment so I cooked there maybe 10 times, and used the shower occasionally. They charged me $25 for a carpet stain (of which there were multiple that I noted when I moved in - this one, apparently, was not documented). They also noted my oven, microwave, and fridge were "dirty" and charged me $65 for extra cleaning. I hardly ever used them and have never heard of an apartment charging for these things. They also have a $40 "standard cleaning charge". Bye bye deposit!
