Frequent Management Changes (Good) - Don't rely on Old Reviews
I've lived at Tyson's for about three years and in that time they've gone through a number of different managers. They appear to have settled on a good one now though, he's been with Tyson's for nearly a year and says he has no intention of leaving. Former managers have left a lot to be desired, but Jason has been extremely accessible and easy to work with. Transferring from one apartment to another is very easy and doesn't require a secondary credit check (you do need your two most recent pay stubs). Karen Witherspoon is especially helpful. Rents go up minimally each year and I've been happy there with my two large dogs.

Tysons Glen & Devonshire Square 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 2005 survey, residents at Tysons Glen & Devonshire Square rated these two communities as superior. In fact, 90.5% of the residents surveyed stated they would recommend Tysons Glen & Devonshire Square to a friend.<br><br>I know this website can be a bulletin board for the handful of disgruntled residents who are few and far between. 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. I think the superior rating from this year's annual resident survey speaks volumes about how satisfied the residents are at Tysons Glen & Devonshire Square. Thank you for taking the time to read this posting.<br><br>Julie Contos<br>Marketing Director, A.J. Dwoskin & Associates, Inc.<br>

Peaceful..
I have lived here for about 2 1/2 yrs and am pleased that i can go month to month if i have to for moving unexpectedly. costs more but fair trade. Staff has always been really nice to me. Weight room is small with only two of each machine (like noah's ark) w/ cable tv to watch. away from noisy streets and highways so relatively quiet. noise from highway is buffered by trees and other apartment complexes. be careful of getting an apartment that is right by the high school though, bright lights from baseball field might keep u up at night. but that is if you are right next to the school, most of this place is away from it. landscaping is great, parking great, some maintenance probs but nothing to cry about. noisy neighbors but yu can always put in a complaint now and then. no scary hood stories or gangs or anything!! nice place to live.

Boy Was I Fooled!!!
I had previously written the review entitled Decent for the money but I was oh so wrong. The last six months have been all down hill.<br><br>First of all the neighbors here are rude as h*ll. I mean some of them actually will not speak to you even if you say hello. The office staff is equally rude particularly one woman and you will find out who quickly. <br><br>They will not work with you at all! They lost our rent check and instead of admitting to a mistake sent us an eviction notice. <br><br>They really do not have emergency maintenance they come when they want which could be days or weeks. The utility bills are outrageous here the electric bill for a small 2 bedroom is almost 200 a month. <br><br>What made us finally decide to move out is there are roaches. ROACHES! <br><br>The rent here has gone up almost 100 dollars in a year and trust me this is not worth it. <br><br>These apartments are dumps real crap.

Devonshire A-O.K. :)
I live in Devonshire Tyson's Glen's other property down Rt.7. I see some people complaining but personally I think it is a just fine place to live. <br>The Pros:<br>- free shuttle to the metro<br>- swimming pools<br>- reasonably priced<br>- well maintained<br>- accept bigger dogs<br>- friendly office staff<br>- stoarge space<br>- realitivly quiet<br>The Cons:<br>- they said there was a playground when we moved in but it was gone<br>- most neighbors aren't too friendly, they keep to themselves<br>- you can hear you neighbors a bit but personaly I think that is just part of apartment living<br>- You can't walk to Tyson's and Rt. 7 can be a mess traffic wise<br>I know people complained about parking but I find that parking is pretty good here. They aren't too crazy with the tow trucks when you have visitors either. The fix things ASAP here too. I think that all in all these apartments are a great value and nice.

Decent for the Money
I am kind of surprised about the complaints, but its usually the ones that have bad experiences that -----. I moved in about 6 months ago and really have no MAJOR complaints. I mean this is an old complex and it is an apartment so can you really complain about noise and old fixtures?<br>I don't really hear people in their apartments I can hear them in the hallway when I am in the living room but that's it. I live in a two bedroom its a tiny kitchen no real work space and the bathroom is teeny tiny but again its cheap and an apartment. <br>I hear some residents couldn't keep from complaining about the shuttle being really late one day, even THOUGH if you call a cab the complex pays for it, so now we are stuck with the freakin vans again. <br>No real bugs to speak of. We get fruit flies in the summer if you don't do dishes every single day but oh well.<br>Parking can be a pain if you have a problem walking like more then 100 feet.

Manages just to make money
The management of Tysons Glen apts threatened me for eviction or even not renewing my lease if I keep complaining about a neighbor who was harrassing me constantly. Their decision was that it is just fair to evict both tenants if they are causing fights. The reality is that this fellow tenant who has been renting this apartment unit for years and because of bad credit cannot purchase their own home, instigates it and stalks me day-in and day-out. I brought it to the management abd they told me that I have to show proof that I am being harassed, so I video taped this harrassment many times. But when I presented and showed the video footage of the many incidence, they never evicted the person but concluded that both of us will be evicted. if I make a complain again. <br>I think this is a morally wrong decision or rule. The instigator or the offender shd be punished and not affecting the victim. The offender or the person harrasing is now empowered to do further harrassment.<br>I have noticed that this apartment complex has not only kept shadowy tenants but is continually accepting "not good" neighbors.<br>They maybe getting the left-overā¦Ā See More>anonymous

Living in hell with demon's
Bang!! Bang!! This is all i hear in the middle of the night after 12:00 am. Can anyone sleep peacefully? My upstairs neighbor is human night owl living demons. They are awake the whole night i guess what they do for their living. They run move their furniture make loud noise they go to sleep around 2:30 am and keep me awake too. At last i have to call 911 and it take a cop to calm the devils. I can't be calling the 911 everyday. Lately the Tysonās glen community is becoming a not so safe place to live. I saw someone car was smashed and the owner of the car did not know who could have possibly done that and for what reason ? I feel bad for him. <br> I approached my neighbor explained him; he thinks i am bugging him for nothing.

I am a current resident and for the past 6 months, tenants living upstair making lound noise in the middle of the night after 12:00 am dropping stuff. Partying on the weekends all night. Once i have to call 911. I have lost my sleep ever since i moved to tyson's glen.<br> Every time i complain to the property manger (Rose). She wants everthing in writing <br>and nothing happpens. I latter found out in the shuttle to metro that this is not just happening me alone. Tyson's glen apartments buildings have a Poor sturture with cheap wooden celings and with no carpets.<br> One of the reason's they are the cheapest in falls church with washer & drier inside the appartment. <br> I am have 6 months for my lease to complete untill then i am grounded.

Not a bad place to live
Overall I've been happy with Tysons Glen. I live in a townhouse, so I don't have any problems with noisy neighbors. I think they finally did something about the bug problem that everyone else complained about. I've barely seen any bugs and I've lived here for a year. <br> <br>We've had a few maintanence problems (the closet doors are always falling off the hinges), but they're usually taken care of promptly. The buildings are older so it's expected that things will break and need to be repaired. We haven't had any major problems with appliances, it looks like ours were replaced before we moved in. <br> <br>The townhouses are pretty roomy, but the kitchens are a little small. There always seems to be plenty of parking, but you do need to be careful with visitors since they tow. The grill areas are nice, they just put in new picnic tables. I enjoy the pool, just wish the hours were longer. The fitness center is very small and equipment is limited. <br> <br>The location is great! Less than a mile to 495 and 66.

Your pets will like it. High School cuties within reach.
My roommate and I shared a 2 bedroom, 2nd floor unit and had our share of probs. The parking enforcers are a -----, and I had to head to the impound lot on more than one occasion (the last time happened during my last month at the apt, so I deducted the $ from the check and split!). The walls were thin and there is ZERO storage. Ancient buildings, washing machines built by hand in the 14th century, stinky pipes, and paper thin walls. I LOVED waking up to my neighbor urinating! We had a couple of roaches, but after a couple of exterminator visits we never saw them again. <br> <br>There is a high school next door so there is a track, tennis courts, and b-ball courts that I made use of. Very handy. Plus, lots of 18 year old cuties to invite over for weekend prayer meetings! *wink* <br> <br>As far as commutes go, it is about 1/3 mile from 495.

No major complaints
Having read the other reviews, I'm pretty surprised so many people have had such problems. All my appliances are new, I haven't seen very many bugs and most of my maintenance requests have been quickly addressed. <br> <br>The bathroom and kitchen are small, but the bedroom and living room in my ground level garden apartment are quite large. Parking is only a problem when a major snow storm hits (rarely) and snow occupies spaces. If you don't have a pass for your guest they will get towed - a lesson I learned quickly. <br> <br>The Metro shuttle used to be a cramped van, now it's a large van that doesn't always reliably follow the schedule, but management is switching shuttle companies this month. <br> <br>The pool is open in the summer six days a week from noon til 8. Last year it was nice and quiet, but lots of people with kids must have moved in to the complex as there are tons of loud kids there now. <br> <br>Since you're allowed to have cats and dogs, the community seems friendly because you always see people walking their pets. <br> <br>A downside is you can't have packages delivered and have to have them shipped elsewhere or pickā¦Ā See More>anonymous

Look elsewhere
We've lived here for a couple years and are looking to move elsewhere. Parking is decent, but if you forget to have your decal up for a second, plan on going to pick up your car from the impound lot. Noise is HORRIBLE, especially if you are in the apartments with hardwood floor. Be prepared to submit several noise violations a month, and get several in return. Grounds are decent, nothing special but not awful. I have always felt safe, except for one car a couple buildings down that keeps getting its windows smashed out. Construction in general is poor... You can tell the apartments were built a long time ago. We've had to deal with applicanes breaking down several times during the lease and leaks from the apartment above us, among other things. Maintenance does not seem to speak English, lies 99% of the time when they say they will be coming back, and do not really seem to know what they are doing. It's not worth the money they're charging.

A nice place, depending on your neighbors
I spent almost two years living in one of Tysons Glen's 652 sq. ft rambler units. <br> <br>This apartment complex has many things going for it: <br> <br>* Friendly staff - never had a problem with them. <br>* Location - It's on the door step of Tysons Corner, McLean, Falls Church, 495, and I-66. <br>* Free shuttle to the Metro station. It used to be a cramped van, but now I believe they lease a medium-sized bus. <br>* Decent floor space for the price. <br>* A nice swimming pool complete with life guards. <br>* An exercise room with trendmills, and a decent multi-use weight setup. <br> <br>There are, however, factors that keep this place from rating above average. <br> <br>* The ceilings are thin. If you live under someone, count on hearing them. This wasn't a problem until my last 4 months there, when a new neighbor moved in above me started throwing social gatherings and watching movies at 3:00 AM on weeknights. <br> <br>* Cockroaches can be a problem. These are garden apartments, and if one of your neighbors is messy, you will be seeing cockroaches in the spring-summer-fall.

I have lived in TysonĀ“s Glen for a year now. There are many complaints and many things to love about the area. I do admit when Sarah left things went down hill for a while.

----- in Disguise...
I was a resident of Devonshire Square apts from Januay 2003 to February 2004. Things started off good at first, then Sara the old apartment manager left and all hell broke loose. We had cockroaches in our apartment and everytime I called to complain about them the leasing office pretended like they didnĀ“t know we had a problem (even though it was documented several times, and I was on a first name basis with the exterminators). They knew our apartment was super clean, and yet they tried to act like it was our fault. Things got so terrible that we inquired about breaking our lease and they said it was impossible, yet offered no solutions to fix our problems. We were also given approval to paint a few rooms in our apartment when we moved in and miraculously, when we moved out, they cannot find our records and are trying to send us to collections for "repainting fees"...hello - we paid a $300 redecorating fee when we moved in...apparently they forgot.

From GREAT too GET ME OUT!!!
When I moved to DC and into this apartment, the area was great, the apartment was nice, and the staff seemed helpful. As two years passed, I moved into their two bedroom apartment, began to run into a lot of problems. The biggest, the staff changed, the new property manager went from good to bad real fast. We had cockroach problems from the crazy neighbors next door, and the complex would not do much to help or correct the problem created by them. It gets better, once we moved out, we were then charged for painting. The paint swatched had been approved by email from the old property manager, but of course two years ago, we never saved it. The complex has taken a turn for the worse, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Great Place
I lived here from 2003-2007 and lived in both an apartment and a townhouse and don t really have any complaints, so I ll respond to the complaints I ve read here. As for the parking - you can write guest passes that are good for up to 2 days or go to the leasing office and get ones good for longer. Towing only happens between 11PM and 7AM. None of the units are far from George C Marshall drive - where you can park on the street for free for as long as you want. You can get a reserved spot for $30. However, even when I was in the apartment in the middle of the complex, you could find a spot within sight of the apartment. The leasing agency people have been very nice, right from the first time I came here. I ve never had a problem with any of them. Maintenance has been great. Yeah so some of them aren t native English speakers - but they re kind, respectful and eager to help.

Pet-friendly follow-up
"Pet Owners Look No Further!" So says the Web site for Tysons Glen. Just remember that "pet" means "cat or dog," and youĀ“ll be fine. TheyĀ“re really no different from any other complex that accepts pets, and actually less liberal than most. <br> <br>As I mentioned previously, Tysons Glen refused our ferret, so we didnĀ“t move there. Since then, IĀ“ve called at least 5 or 6 other apartment complexes, all of which said they allowed cats and dogs and some of which said they allowed only cats. Without exception, not one of these complexes so much as flinched when I mentioned my ferret. The one I settled on isnĀ“t even charging me a deposit or monthly pet rent. And this is a place that doesnĀ“t go around crowing about how "pet friendly" it is. As it turns out, Tysons Glen actually has one of the more restrictive policies among complexes that allow pets. <br> <br>ThatĀ“s how my story ends. Just remember, though, if youĀ“re thinking about moving here: Lots of places accept cats and dogs, but the truly pet-friendly places are the ones that donĀ“t limit it to just that. ThereĀ“s nothing special about the pet policy at this place.

Look Elsewhere if YouĀ“d Like to Keep Your Sanity
I have had problems with the managment and staff of Tysons Glen before I even moved in! There was poor communication and the staff gave incorrect information about availability and move in dates...I should have known then that there would be future problems! <br> <br>The staff gave me the option of having hardwood floors or carpeting in my apt. Because I have a dog, I chose the wooden floors. Well, halfway through my lease, my downstairs neighbor began complaining that he could hear my dogĀ“s toenails click on the floor and in response to this complaint, it took the rental office at least a month to asses what it would do to solve the "problem." In assessing the situation, it took them two times for them to actaully come to the apartment, and once they did, they did not leave me a note letting me know they had been there. <br> <br>Their letter informing me of their decision to capet my apartment came less than two days before they day they decreed that they would carpet the apartment. They also asked that my dog NOT be in the apartment and that I remove items off the walls and shelves.ā¦Ā See More>anonymous

Very Bad Management / Leasing staff
It is very bad experience with Leasing staff and also with Management of Tysons Glen. By some mistake, my check returned back by the bank. When I first talked to Leasing Manager, she said in a very sweet voice, that, I will have to pay an amount of 1,275 dollars for my apartment. And even that should also be paid in a day. For another 6 more months, they donĀ“t accept the checks from me. I immediately rushed to bank and paid 10 dollars to get cerified check. <br> <br>In another three days, I received a notice, from Apartment Management saying that, I need to vaccate my apartement, in five days time, if I donĀ“t pay the file of 120 dollars. It is very rediculous behaviour of Management and Leasing staff, just for a returned check only once. Till that time, there was no late payments of any kind. But Management acted very rude, without even trying to understand the past record of the tenant.
