Apartment Review for Seminary Hill Apartments - Alexandria, VA

The good thing is, the rental office staff are the nicest people I've ever met. ALL of them. Especially the leasing assistants. But the good times stop there! The place is infested with rats and roaches which is mainly because a majority of the residents just don't give a care. Trash is supposed to be taken to the trash room in the basement. Those who actually take it there and not leave it in the hall, just leave it at the door or throw it in the room with untied bags. The trash room is located inside the laundry room so doing laundry sometimes is unbearable because of the smell. The residents leave food and other trash in the halls, in front of the building, in the parking lot, on the grass and any place else you can think of. Kids run around, sit on your car, play on your car and aren't told by parents that this is inappropriate behavior. And parking is terrible. If you don't get a guest pass through the week from the rental office, you can't get one from them on the weekends. They'll send you to the hi-rise where they give them 3 passes for the entire complex, for the entire weekend!!! Imagine that! And of course street parking is taken up by the residents who own 4 and 5 cars when they only drive 2 because the other don't even run!!! This place is terrible! I absolutely hate it and can't wait until my lease ends in the spring. Every month I pay my rent, my motto is one down, 10 to go; one down, 9 to go, etc. Unless you don't mind living in filth, pass this place right on by. It's unfortunate because the apartments are such a good size, designed with separate living and dining room areas, nice closet space and utilities included. I wish someone would buy the property, make them condos and move all the residents who just don't give a care, out!!! If that was the case, I'd stay there forever!
