Homey, quiet, affordable, classic, close to law school apartment

This apartment is old-fashioned and an amazing bargain and location. Every room has its own A/C unit, and utilities are paid for. It's across from both a park and a high school field/track. It's within walking distance of the law school, grocery stores, and the Metro. There is one included parking space that I use. The landlord is very helpful and will respond to every maintenance request and concern quickly. The neighbors are from every walk of life, and people love it so much that apartments rarely open up, but I'm looking for a roommate starting in June.

Arlington room

I live with 2 roommates, I share the bathroom with one. The apartment is around 9 minutes walk from the VA Square metro stop. It is clean and taken care of enough without being luxurious.

Great Value

Parkview Apartments offers an exceptional value. Quiet building, blocks from the metro, and responsive landlord. Can't ask for anything more. Building has low turnover because tenants don't want to leave. Lacks some of the amenities of high rise buildings but makes up for it in a reduced rent.

About Ballston

Living in the suburbs and still finding a vibrant city a few blocks away is what Ballston is all about. Reach the city with great ease, and find some great restaurants such as the Tutto Bene and the Caribbean Breeze, or maybe the Taste of Arlington Annual Street Fair. If that is not appealing enough...

Ballston is a relatively residential area that is pretty affordable given it's proximity to DC. Good restaurants and cafes, easy transit, but no loud bars or clubs. That could be a positive or negative depending on what you're looking for.
Reviewed by Young Professional living at Altavista Condominium
I personally like being in Arlington. Everything is walkable and while it's not DC proper, it's very easy to get into the city via metro or a quick drive in. I've run to Georgetown in 20-30 minutes. There's stuff to do and there's everything you could need: gyms, grocery stores, shopping, restaurants, bars so close by. Ballston is a hub for transport so buses and the metro abound.
Reviewed by Anonymous living at Meridian at Ballston Commons
It can be a little noisy if you're too close to Wilson, Glebe or Fairfax roads, especially if you're right above the bus stop like I am, but nothing light background noise can't drown out; I sleep with a fan and I sleep like a baby. The public transport can't be beat, and it seems like a new restaurant opens every day. I'm interested in looking at houses in the area when I can afford to buy!

We are right across from Ballston Quarter which has a Union Market type of food court. The area is developing so quickly, very trendy and everything is within walking distance. Even though it's very walkable it does not feel as congested as DC.
Reviewed by Young Professional living at Meridian at Ballston Commons
I definitely feel that it's up and coming-- so much construction and many new restaurants and shops popping up! IT's very walkable. It's also pretty safe and it's close to highways, the Potomac, to DC, etc so the location is pretty great.

I love living in Ballston. I don’t have a car and never feel like I need one. Richmond Square is a block from the metro to take me into DC, and there are plenty of places to eat and things to do right here in Ballston.
Reviewed by AmericanU Graduate Student living at Altavista Condominium
Great spot for young people. There are tons of amazing restaurants and bars nearby that you can walk to. Also only a short metro ride to DC.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at The Maxwell
It's quiet but there are plenty of restaurants/coffee shops within walking distance and will be more when Ballston Quarter opens.
