great for the price and good management

I've lived here for about 14 months and have been happy. we rent in a 3-br townhouse. parking has never been an issue, but those with motorcycles may want to look elsewhere; mine was stolen from here, but it wasn't chained or locked to anything. motorcycle and auto-theft is more of a problem with northern va in general, so i'm not complaining about the complex. the management have replaced the washer/dryer unit, fixed our dishwasher and have addressed any problems we had quickly. no hidden fees of any sort and utilities have been reasonable. the walls are a bit thin, but nothing too ridiculous; the noise really depends on the neighbor. they are very pet-friendly.

Like living at Tysons Glen

I moved here last year and so far I liked it. Parking has never been an issue here. Management makes sures that the apartment complex is kept clean and so far I see that regular maintenance and upgrades are keeping abreast. These are good size apartments and the best thing is that washer and dryer is in the unit so you do not have to worry about the laundry.

Excessive and Unfair Late Fees

Don't be late with the rent...not even one day or you will be charged a small fortune. That small fortune includes a ten percent late fee plus any monthly discount that you received

RENTER BEWARE: HORRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE

Renter beware, you're better off living in a paper box then living here. I should have known better when we arrived to move in, signed all the paperwork and was given keys to our new place, only to find 10 maintenance workers when we opened the door and the apartment in shambels. Needless to say with their frequent vacancy, they were able to give us another apartment which valued just as disappointing. With no other options we decided to stay and ran into a flurry of issues: cement clogging our sinks and shower drains, constant bugs, and cracks throughout all of the rooms that slowly appeared once the wet paint dryed. Every appliance in our apartment broke at least one time in the few months we were there. The crew is horrible, the neighbors are awful and thanks to their winter "treatments" I had to buy a new bumper. Don't make the same mistake I did!!!

Looks like management has been writing reviews again...a year ago this place was rated in the 20's due to everyon'e complaints about bedbugs, mice, noise, parking and poor staff. Trust me, they haven't made some miraculous recovery. Read the people who say no. It's all the same. Don't believe the "yes" as they're likely staff masquarading as tenents. Stay away!

if you like cockroaches, then it is a perfect place

First two months was ok, and then started cockroaches coming from somewhere, and its hard to get rid of them. i wanted to leave this apt. so bad, but i could not, because of lease. Not lot of parking. if you come in the night, very late, you'll not find any parking unless you've reserved parking. good thing : service was ok.

People's terraces

I must say up front I decided not to rent at Tysons Glen and perhaps if management reads this review they will correct what put me off. People's terraces...a large percentage of the residents seem to use their patios, front yards, and patios as either rubbish bins or storage for junk. I liked the apt I was shown. Grounds were well-tended. Management seemed nice. Price was right and location good. But when I walked around the property after talking with the agent I was very turned off by how residents were allowed to keep these areas. I expected to see people putting their cars on blocks. It's a shame residents give such a shabby image to a property that is well maintained otherwise.

Fair review

Tyson's has it's good and bad points. Parking is not too bad. For 30.00 a month you can get a reserved spot. The maintenance is terriffic. Well the personnel anyways. They do thier best to keep it up to date. The management is hit or miss depending on who is in charge at the paticular time. No break ins that I am aware of. I have a top floor apartment so i do not have a noise problem at all. The grounds are well maintained although I would like to see them a little more eco friendly. The contruction is dated and from what I hear from my nieghbors, it can be loud downstairs. To be fair I am a cranky individual so the fact that they keep me here i significant!

not leaving soon enough

I have lived here for about a year and a half and would not recommend it to anyone except maybe someone with a large dog who can't find anywhere else that will take it. The pipes in my bathroom exploded while I was at work and caused water to leak through the ceiling onto the first floor of my townhouse. Be extremely careful about where you park, and how well your visitor's pass is filled out because the towing is EXTREMELY enforced, even for residents. Parking is an absolute nightmare. The staff is unappreciative of their residents, and try to make up for it with a cheap barbecue in the summer. The rent is also outrageous and I have found many places closer to the metro for less money and the same amenities. Right now I believe the complex has over 40 vacancies available now, and I am not surprised.

Uncontrollable noise

I would avoid living in a Tysons Glen one-bedroom with a townhouse above it. There is little "padding" between apartment floors, and should you get a noisy upstairs neighbor you are seriously burned. Try as management may, they cannot prevent neighbors from yelling, crashing, pounding, stomping, screaming, springing and making all manner of racket. Local county law gives them no power to control noisy tenents. A multi-generational family live above me, and each day I am subjected to noise abuse that gets worse with each complaint. For me, the situation begins at 6A and continues until 1:30A. Even police visits to calm them down between 10A and 6A is meaningless because management can't kick them out. They can only refuse to give them another lease when its up for renewal. By then, their neighbors will have lost the will to live. I'll be out long before them. For me, the noise conditions make an otherwise fine complex an impossible place to live.

Un professional staff,

Very unprofessional staff, don't know how to deal customer/ future resident. I really don't like to rent that place, because they really giving us hard time to just show the apartment. Specially people who is working on Sundays are very unprofessional.

happy

hard to find a nice reasonable priced place in this are, but i'm happy to say - i think i found it. moved here from California a few years back and leased at Tyson's Glen. initially lived in a one bedroom, but got married & transferred into a renovated townhouse - i would say a big improvement! Greast job, guys! Maintenance is decent - fix things pretty fast, not always but in general pretty fast. leasing people are nice, always greet with a smile - makes such a difference. Also, even my dog is enjoying dog park, running around with dog-friends. I would recommend this complex - we're happy. Hope you are or will be also!

Not a bad place, better than some around here

Tysons Glen is actually not that bad as many write here. Yes, there is always room for improvement, but it's definitely better than the ones i lived in before, right around the corner even. I really appreciate that the management is organizing some activities - they are fun! at least gives a chance to meet new neighbors. about the roaches - never seen one in the years that i lived here. I guess it just depends on how clean you keep your home. Noise.. yeah i hear my neighbors sometimes, but it's just like in any apartment complex. i guess, if you dont want to hear anyone, be annoyed by anyone, and if you're lucky - not being surrounded by others - then buy a house in West Virginia or somewhere remote.

What a joke!

This place is horrible. The buildings are crummy, the rents are over-priced, and the assistant manager is a nut job. I'm mean seriously, she has the intelligence of a 5 year old. She doesn't know policies, she has continuously made mistakes in my rent payments and even told me I owed money when I over paid. I'm so glad I'm leaving this dump. Rules and guidelines only apply to some people, not all people. I had my car towed and I have no idea why. I had a current sticker and I was parked in a regular parking spot and I had to pay to have my car returned. My neighbors , who are of a different ethnic background, had a friend over and he was parked out front with no sticker; clearly in violation and got his car back at no charge!!!! I'm glad to hear that racism is alive and well at Tyson's Glen, and I'm glad I've moved on to a roach free property!!!!

Better places out there for sure

I don't have many positive things to say about this place. I've lived there for two years and the following happened to me: Had my car towed twice, both times it had the proper sticker / tag. Had my assigned parking space moved without being notified, which resulted in me towing my neighbors car and bad blood. I thought he was parked in my spot, when it was just the opposite, thanks management! Had a loud family of four move into the one bedroom, hardwood floor unit next to mine. Sure this is breaking some sort of occupancy code. They stink and do not miss them. Dog owners who neglect to clean up after their pets. Snow removal here is non existant. Fitness room is small, outdated, and smells terrible. The management has been pretty rude in the past, lately things have gotten slightly better. They increased the reserved parking price for no apparent reason. Same with the rent. The positives about this place, has a nice self serve car wash and the maintenance guys are on top of things. Bottom line: Find a different place or be ready to regret your decision.

Perennial plumbing problems

We've had kitchen plumbing problems, primarily because our neighbors are "smart" enough to dump large chunks of food in their trash disposal. Since we live in a townhouse, our pipes are connected with another townhouse. Our kitchen pipes have been clogged for almost a week now, and suffice to say, it still has not been fixed by the revered Maintenance crew. They never arrive at the time they say they would (said they'd get here at 9:30 a.m., but didn't arrive until 3:30 p.m., and of course had to leave a note on our door advising us to re-schedule for the nth time). For the obscene amount of rent that we pay, we definitely deserve much better service than this. Unfortunately, we can't do much about our "beloved" neighbors' ignorance. Can't wait to move out of here.

Staff of incompetence / Apartments fall apart

- "brand new" dishwasher, pretty much useless. It was good at falling out of the cabnetry and streaming water out of it. <br>- Front door bolt doesn't work 50% of the time. <br>- Several occassions I've asked for things to be fixed / put in work orders, and they were ignored.<br>- Cabinet doors fall off.<br>- 75% of the outlet covers were off the walls when we moved in.<br>- Loss of electicity constantly.<br>- Electrical issue that we had to have fixed three times, even know we knew what was wrong and told them, they failed to fix it.<br>- Failure to follow up on service appointments that required more than one visit<br>- Bathroom doorknob missing screws. Always loose.<br>- <br>- Trash cans in lawns smell terribly, and float into the apartments.<br>- Staff is incompetent. Several times we would call to ask questions and get wrong or partial answers. Then only the correct answers would come from management after the fact. Constant turn over too. Rarely have I see the same person in there for more than a month or two.<br><br>Don't move here unless you have no choice with your dog. The location isn't worth the money or the place falling apart.
