eaves Tysons Corner

My husband & I lived at this Archstone /​eaves property from summer of 2011 through summer of 2014. We moved for hubby’s new job in the San Francisco Bay area and I’m still pining for the great sunset views and lots of room we had back at eaves. The pool was so nice. Lots of big mature trees on the property. I always felt safe. Neighbors in our building were really nice. People overall picked up after their dogs. I never got the horrible smell of pot smoke drifting in my windows as happens out here all too often in California.
Front office staff were friendly & helpful. Lena & Ramtin (sorry if I’ve misspelled those) were always nice about packages, friendly and maintenance requests got done quickly. I thought they did a good job of plowing out all the snow reasonably efficiently.

Once we got a reserved parking space (for an extra charge per month) it helped immensely, as parking spaces are kind of limited in the small lot at the end of the complex up the on the end.
I thought the design of the apartments was great. Our bedroom /​kitchen /​living room had no shared walls with another unit. The layout had closets and bathrooms along the shared wall which made a good bit of extra installation and we never heard noise from next door or below.
If we were coming back to DC I would definitely be happy to live at this complex again. It was nice & close to the mall, restaurants, the beltway. Moving out was easy enough and there were no weird surprise charges.

I moved into this community in May of this year. I don’t have any major complaints. Repairs are done quickly and the office staff does seem genuinely interested in providing good customer service. Although I haven’t bonded with any neighbors yet, everyone seems pretty nice and I definitely feel safe here.
I love that the community is so pet friendly. Above all, I love the location. Last but not least, my apartment is also nice. Having to relocate quickly for a new job and downsize from an extremely large house in Texas was difficult. Here I found a reasonable amount of space for slightly lower than market value for the area. Some of the other (more expensive) places in this area weren’t large enough for me to even get my sofa into the living area. Although apartment living is new for me, I have found that having adequate space, a good location and relative peace and quiet have made my transition better than expected. I work out on my balcony just about every morning and I hear birds chirping. That’s not a bad way to start the day!

I just moved in a few days ago and noticed a couple missing vertical blinds. I submitted a request at night and it was fulfilled the next day at 1pm. David communicated his schedule and delivered his promise. Great communication and service.
Also, the front office staff were exceptional. Their system was down during the application/​registration, but they handled it professionally and made me feel positive (it was out of their control but they went to other locations to accomodate service). Even after the move-​in, they’ve been excellent. Nice staff and great service overall!

In light of the previous comments below, I must say that we loved our stay at Archstone. We lived there from April 09 to March 12 and it was nothing but pleasant. The only minor drawbacks were the noise from traffic from the commuters and the constant rising rent rate (seriously, are they penalizing tenants?). Other than that, Lena and Ramtin consistently offered professional help with kind friendliness and we LOVED their maintenance staff who always came within 24 hours of a request.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE
Noise, Rude tenants that harass people via lewd comments (regardless of what you are wearing or doing), Zero interest in tenant safety, Strong odors of Pot and loud noise in wee hours of night (read:2am days on end
And they have even put in writing and left voicemails (which I kept since their sketchiness was so evident) that they would do certain services for example, cleaning carpet, for free of charge to my unit since I was «such a good tenant» and then I get a bill 2 YEARS LATER for that carpet cleaning that exclipitly gives the date that was the «free of charge to tenant» carpet cleaning.
BTW, you can get much more afforadable actual safe places for less than the hiked up costs in nicer areas if you consider Safety and peace of mind valuable.
Will happily take down this post once my concerns and resolved, some kind of action is taken by ridiculous management at corporate and in office for residents at Archstone that are there now, and for me personally be somewhat humane and stop sending me bills for things Archstone said (and I have in writing) that they would take care of.
Again, HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE
