Great place to live

The Avalon Ballston is a really great place to live! Our 2 bedroom apartment is roughly $2,000 a month which is a lot cheaper than most buildings in DC. The location is right next to the Orange and the Silver line which is great if you work in McLean or Tyson's Corner but want to be able to get into DC in the evenings and on the weekend. The building also has some great common amenities and management and the staff are fantastic.

Love Avalon Management

First of all, Avalon management is the absolute best- anything from maintenance requests to moving in they take care of right away and the staff are very polite. The luxury highrise is really nice when it comes ti amenities too: great gym, party rooms, and everything is so nice and clean.

Great Location and Amenities, Price is a little high

Avalon Ballston Place in Arlington, VA is a great place to live. It is 2 blocks from 2 different metro stops, a very young crowd in both the apartment building an in the surrounding area. Washington D.C is also 4 metro stops or a 15 minute drive from the area.
The only downside is the cost of living in the area is generally high (mainly housing). Falls Church does drop the price a little but still considerably higher compared to Richmond or Plano

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!
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Avalon Ballston Square
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.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Richmond Square Apartments
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.
