Richmond Square

"The location and relatively low rent and parking rates are the only factors worthy of consideration with respect to Richmond Square. Factors weighing heavily against the property are the horrible management company (Dittmar), low quality of apartment amenities, dingy hallways, and overall freshman dorm atmosphere. The low rental rates are likely what draws the college-age kids and poor quality of people, many of whom should not be living in close proximity to professionals. Unfortunaely, Richmond Square now caters to these populations. I am looking forward to the not-too-distant future where Richmond Square will be only a bad memory and not a reality."

"I have lived at Richmond Square for two years and have been very pleased overall. Pros - The apartments are clean and well kept. - The maintenance staff is very responsive if I ever submit a work request, my request is addressed within the next day. - They do a lot of preventative maintenance to ensure our apartments remain safe and healthy (replacing air filters, checking garbage disposals, drains, etc.) - There is a conceirge/door man in the lobby 24/7 - All of our packages are handled by the door man and are kept safe rather than being left at our door. - All utilities (beside cable/internet) are flat rate and paid in conjunction with my rent. - The walls are very soundproof. I never hear my neighbors or the people above me. - Great location! Extremely close to Ballston metro, Ballston Quarter mall, and I-66. Cons - The parking spots in the garage are extremely small - guest parking is $5 a night - One of the front desk men, George, is extremely incompetent and grouchy at all times. He does not understand that his job requires customer service."

"I lived at Richmond Square for about 2.5 years from 2013-2015. It was clean and the staff was friendly. I never had any major problems, and any maintenance requests were handled quickly. The studios are very spacious, easily as big as a one bedroom at most apartment complexes. Overall, I was very happy with my experience at Richmond, but after living at two different places in DC, I do think it's a bit pricey for what you get. I'd recommend it to anyone looking in the Ballston area."

"My husband and I moved from another state to Richmond Square Apartments sight unseen. It's been one of the best decisions we've made. We cannot say enough how much we love living here. The apartment itself is great. We've barely needed maintenance at all, but when we have, they've all ways responded in 12 hours or less! The entire building is clean and well maintained. All of that is wonderful, but the best part to me is the people. In our two years here we've gotten to know pretty much everyone who works here. We are greeted by name, and always feel very safe and well looked after. We have an 11 month old son that is simply adored by everyone that works here. We are especially thankful for Nour, George and Larry, and the way they have made Richmond Square feel like home! We would absolutely stay here another year, except my husband's job is taking us to a different area. Cannot recommend enough! Wish we were staying!"

"I recently lived at Richmond Square for a little over a year. It's in a great location if you need the metro and or want to visit A-Town frequently. It's pricey, but then again, it's Arlington... The apartments are nice, and reasonably roomy for the price. Just two complaints: It's only wired for Comcast and no pets. Maintenance, the few times they were required were extremely polite and efficient. Office staff had changed during my stay for the better. Initially the building supervisor was a bit clueless. The new lady is lovely, polite and quick to answer tenants calls."
