Could be worse, trust me...

I have lived in a townhouse, NOT an apartment, for about 3 years now. We get ants coming in through the kitchen window in the summer but not too bad. I haven't ever seen a roach, thank god! Anyway, neighbors are ok, parking on my street is fine and since they allow dogs, it really works for me. I don't have a renovated apartment, so I guess I miss out on that. The only complaints that I have ever had have been dealt with as long as you follow-up with them.

Stop complaining, it's a good place.

People complain a lot on this site. Its not perfect but definitely the best deal for the price we were able to find. Good size place, nice neighbors. You can hear through the walls, but only if they are screaming. Free shuttle bus, free car-wash station, nice staff that has always responded politely. You can't get DSL (the phone wire's are old), but with Cox's staggered Cable internet plans, you can get cheap access. Really no complaints whatsoever. Oh, and parking is only an issue if you arrive home after 9 PM any evening. And they only tow your car/friends car if you are foolish enough to not leave a simple note in their car.

management ignores many horrible neighbors

We have lived with a ridiculous upstairs neighbor who does nothing all night long but blast his video games to the point where it rattles our apartment. Management has done nothing to deal with the situation. The common hallways stink of cigarette smoke and the quality of people make this more like a noisy college apartment than anything else... Also, our building is infested with roaches!

Overrated

Overall, the apartments are OK, but management is inept and rude. The interior and appliances of the apartments could really use and upgrade. Parking is horrible. Maintenance is OK. It took me two months to get a new drier installed. Their first recommendation was to "put less clothes in the dryer." Ridiculous. It was just broken.

This apartaments are so expensives, in relation whit the ugly installations. the apartments have the tubs in so bad conditions. (if you wants one apartament in a basic good condition, need selecte one renovated, and are even more expensives). The floor are the more cheap, and are peeling all time. Exist "presents" of dogs in all the exteriors. The walking closet dont has to much problems, but the other closets, are no designed for put nothing inside, if you have the bad idea of put one hanger inside, whit a normal blouse only, the doors dont will close, is ridiculous, who was the animal than designer this? In generall, the spaces are so bad distributed. the sound of the drier and the wash machine are unbelieble. Now them decide to elevate the price of the parking area from 15 dollars, to 30 dollars,whitouth reason.

TERRIBLE- CONSTANT CONSTUCTION!

Do not move in here- they are constantly renovating apartments, which is great for new tenants but terrible for existing! The walls are paper thin so even construction 2 floors up shakes the walls of your apartment. They do not even notify you beforehand of pending construction. Look somewhere else. <br>

Scary Rough Dirty

There apartments are gross. They have all kinds of bugs and issues. This is not a complex that you get your moneys worth. RUN RUN RUN! You will regret the choice to live here. <br><br>The balconies have peeling paint, the sinks and tubs clug up. The a/c works only sometimes. And you can forget about peacefulness. <br><br>The only good thing about this complex was that there is no pet rent. But because of this expect lots of dogs and dog presents.

Review of Townhouses, please!

I am interested in the Tysons Glen Townhouses and have read some really terrible reviews of the apartments. Can anyone currently living in (or has recently lived in) a Townhouse give me an updated review? Thanks!

Tysons Glen rated superior in resident survey!

Each year, A.J. Dwoskin & Associates contracts with an independent research firm to randomly survey the residents at each of our apartment communities. I am thrilled to announce that in the 2006 survey, residents at Tysons Glen rated the community as superior! <br><br>I know this website can be a bulletin board for disgruntled residents who are few and far between. Not often does a resident satisfied with their apartment seek out a website to post a positive comment or compliment. When reading this website, please consider that the best indicator of the professional management of an apartment community is the overall opinion of its residents. The results of the 2006 annual resident survey speak volumes about how satisfied the residents are at Tysons Glen. <br><br>Thank you for taking the time to read this posting.<br><br>Julie Contos<br>Marketing Director, A.J. Dwoskin & Associates, Inc.<br>

Be Careful

They will try to rip you off on your 60 days notice. Get it in writting that you turned it in or they will Claim they didn't get it and try to charge you an extra two months rent.

Still Loving It

I've been here now for three years now, and I'm still enjoying it. It's even better now that they've found new management.<br><br>All of my maintenance calls have been dealt with quickly. I've had no bug problems. I've always found maintenance and other staff to be very nice and professional.<br><br>I plan on staying here for as long as I'm in the area or until I decide to buy a house.

Overall good, towing bad

We had a rental car for a day while ours was being repaired-forgot to get a visitor permit, and got towed. $150 to get it out! Why they are such tow-Nazis isbeyond me- it's not like this place is near any venue, bar, etc.<br><br>Good stuff: Pool is nice, maintenance prompt, pretty area. Lots of trees, green space, and a stream at the back. Pet friendly. Overall not a bad place at all. Good location too.

you should know

I've been at Tysons Glen for 18 months & been counting the days for the last 15 of them. I've never been towed but if you come home after 9pm don't expect to park near your apartment. The noise is what drives me crazy. I could sell my tv and just listen to my neighbors through the wall. And if you live below 1 of the townhomes you will hear them walking around and closing cupboards and vacuuming. When I moved in they didn't even prepare the apartment for me. The floors were pretty gross and the tub too. My kitchen light has been flickering for the past 4 months, I've actually given up on it. While I think the maintainance folks are some of the nicest people, they come in and out of your apartment with no notice or warning.

Mixed Review

I've had some good experienes here and some bad experiences. 1. Bad: I was overseas, needed someone to go by my apartment to reboot my server, called front office from Rome and was told I they would let repairperson in, but when my person arrived they were turned away because I hadn't provided SIGNED release! Good: Jason went by and rebooted server for me! 2. Good: they have repaired leaks, blinds, sliding doors, even the whole bath tub! 3. Bad: nasty letters; viscious towing practices; exercise room in disrepair.

Nice Apartments

I have been here for a while. I must say that parking is a little tight here but other than that I love my apartment. It is in a great location close to everything. The maintanence and the Office Staff are all very polite and helpful. Overall i find that it is a great place to live.

Why Complain

hey, I live here! it was quite a shock to see those nasty reviews about the place where I live! I've moved here in 2002 and believe me, now I see better changes than before. Why are you complaining about parking and the "threatening" letters that the office sends out, I see it from a different angle: letters are not threatening, they are informative (if you actually read them!).Hey, would you rather have space available for you than your guests? they dont live here! plus, you can always get a reserved space if you want! I really do no like when someone is bad-mouthing the place where I live and will continue to live as long as I can. the maintenance and the staff are great & pleasant!I will recommend this place for anyone! If you are not happy here, will you be happy anywhere?

Management out to rip off tenants

The management of Tyson's Glen does not care about the tenants and is actively trying to rip them off. Despite being slightly over priced for the area, they try to sneak in extra expenses, especially for parking, and they have a sweetheart contract with a towing company that will make you jump through hoops or see your friends and relatives get towed, even when in open parking areas. My in-laws got towed on Christmas Eve and the management treated me rudely when I came in to complain! My apartment also had very poor electrical wiring requiring multiple requests from maintainence to repair light switches and the garbage disposal. A somewhat pleasant outside hides a loathesome reality, especially when you're stuck dealing with the management.

Roaches and Shoddy Craftsmanship

I'm shocked that the Marketing Director for AJ Dwoskin, who gets paid to do so, wrote a favorable review about Tyson's Glen.<br><br>My apartment/townhouse has cockroaches, as well as numerous plumbing problems with drains, garbage disposal, dishwasher, etc.<br><br>Everything in the apartment seems to have been put together in about 10 minutes by someone with little to no knowledge of carpentry, wiring, plumbing, etc. There are even stickers and pieces of tape that were left on the walls from previous tenants and simply painted over. Ridiculous.

Opinion from anyone leasing a 2BR town home

I plan on moving to Tysons Glen this month with my family into a 2BR town home. Can anyone curretnly occupying one comment on their living experience in one? I noticed most of the reviews seem to be for 1 or 2 BR apts.

Ultimately, it's the Tyson's Corner area I don't like.

Living at the Devonshire Branch of the Tyson's Glen Apartments, nect to the George Marshall High School.<br><br>Ultimately, I find the area to be laden with traffic and although everything is very close (i.e.: shopping, office buildings etc.) the area itself makes biking and walking very difficult.<br><br>The complex is near the high school which is great if you want to run on the high school track, but very noisy during their sports season.<br>The maintenence team is great and in the past few years the managers have been getting more helpful and the staff more knowlegable, (in reference to comment 7...getting better)<br>Overall, I'd say it's not worth the price, but an okay short-term living space.

Overall happy but &$*%&#$*$%&$*% PARKING

I am pretty happy with this place (Devonshire) but this morning they just wrongly towed my car. I just moved in and have been waiting for a parking sticker, which tye ran out of and are ordering more. I have a temp permit (which lasts another 2 weeks) but they didn't even bother looking for it and just towed my car anyway. I like the place, its simple and quiet, but MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO CONTRACT WITH A NEW TOWING COMPANY. I hope they read this, I know another person who got wrongly towed a month ago. Management has been helpful in helping me get my car back (though now I am going to sue the towing company for incorrectly towing my AWD vehicle and destroying the transmission). So in short<br><br>Tysons and Devonshire will be 300x better if they get a more professional towing company.

Living Hell

I promise any reviews on this site that are good are written by the management, as you can see. There apartments are infested with bugs, management is rude and they will nickle and dime you for everything possible on move out.<br><br>Although there were bad reviews I moved in for the location big big mistake. Its not worth any location convenience there could be. Do your self a favor and run run run. <br><br>The biggest problems....<br><br>-Bugs everywhere (roaches, silver fish, fly's ect.)<br>-rusting peeling paint on the balcony railing<br>-smells (they seep through the floors and walls and dont leave)<br>-management is abusive<br>-things like the sinks tubs routinely clog<br>-the air conditioning breaks in the middle of summer and it takes 2 calls for them to fix it.<br>-no sound proofing at all you will hear everything<br>-the types of people moving in when we left was scary!!!!<br><br>there are far to many other places in the area to settle for this place.
