This rent is a great price given how close the apartment is to the metro (less than a 10 minute walk). The appliances in the apartment aren't the best, and the maintenance could be better, but it is still the best deal we could find!

I love my apartment because of the amenities: pool, sun deck, gym, club room with full kitchen, grilling area, mini putting green. Also it's across the street from a metro. Though it's about a 20 minute walk, Old Town Alexandria is great to shop and dine.

The Meridian at Braddock boasts fantastic access to Old Town Alexandria and the metro. You can get all the fun of DC without those DC prices. The building is safe and has reasonable amenities. There isn't a big social scene here so make sure you have your own friends.

Very close to Metro but (1) not in a super-safer area-public housing 1 block away, Carpenter Shelter another block away and McDonalds with all manner of scary people handing out there. There have been a couple homicide in the immediate area in 2015. (2) a little pricey. On the plus side, its very close to the Metro.

Community is friendly and in a good location for walking. The apartments are nice (not fancy, though many have amazing sunrooms!), the office staff (for the most part) is friendly, they put on nice social events, and the maintenance is right on the line of acceptable (usually have to come back more than once to actually fix the problem).
While the buildings feel very safe, the neighborhood near us isn't the safest, but it can be avoided if walking.

All in all, a good value.

This place has some serious perks and is worth a higher rent. Love it here! I love the modern amenities. It comes with a garage, private gym and weight room, pool, great and recently renovated lounge on the top floor, plus free coffee and hot drinks 24/7. Plus, the is safe - cameras, a concierge, and a secure fob in order to get in. My only complaint is that I wish there were more windows in my unit. Overall, I have no regrets!
