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. The metro is 5-10 minutes away. There is a school across the street with tennis and basketball courts. <br> <br>The one complaint that I do have is about the shuttle service to the metro...it's unreliable. It seems like it either breaks down at least once a week or it doesn't show up at all. Now that they're using 15 passenger vans again some people are getting left behind because there's not enough room. If you plan to use the shuttle then you better have a backup plan just in case. <br> <br>
