Dorchester Towers

Pests are the main issue with this apartment. It doesn't matter if there is absolutely no food out and everything is clean as can be. It is also quite dark, lots of windows but the sun is blocked by surrounding buildings.

Dorchester Towers

Very affordable for Arlington. The catch is the building is pretty outdated and it is not Metro accessible. But 2350/month with utilities included for a 1400 sq foot apartment is a great deal! And there are a lot of bus stops nearby. They allow cats with no fees/deposit/pet rent, but they don't allow dogs. There's a Giant and some restaurants and bars just a 5 minute walk away. Parking is free (but no overnight guest parking). It's a quick drive to the better social scenes in Clarendon or DC. The rooftop is really nice and there's a pool (I haven't used it so can't comment on how good it is) and a rose garden. There's no gym. While it isn't "downtown" or in a popular neighborhood, it's a great value.

Alcova heights, sort of suburban very quiet and very safe but walking distance to stores and restaurants.

Nice and diverse neighborhood. Up and coming. Safe and convenient. Lots of options for food and drinks. Close proximity to DC and Tyson's Corner. Lots of new construction.

Close to many grocery stores, convenient stores and many restaurants. Very quick to Pentagon City metro station or Clareden metro station

The neighborhood is very family friendly. I can walk, bike, or bus easily to the metro/Pentagon City mall or bus/bike to the law school. Walking distance to fair assortment of restaurants, grocery store, pharmacy, etc. on Columbia Pike. Neighborhood is dotted with parks, tennis courts, short bike path, and other recreation.

Absolutely lovely place to live. Lots of food options in a highly diverse neighborhood.

Been built up a lot in the last few years with a Harris Teeter in walking distance. Lots of metro bus lines right outside the door with a shuttle to the metro
Reviewed by Scalia Law Student living at The Whitmore
More working class up and down the pike, no bars or anything of that sort. But close enough to Ballston and Shirlington.
