misleading pictures here I live here and it is the worst experience I’ve had in the DMV. Those pictures look absolutely nothing like the actual units. I was shown that model unit and then moved into a home with brown cabinets that are old, stained, and broken, a dirty carpet, peeling yellow linoleum in the kitchen and bathroom, a washer/dryer older than I am, a bathroom faucet that is rusted and moldy...I could go on. Do not move here. We were lied to and I can’t wait to get out.

Charged for a month we could not use I stayed here for a 3 month internship during the summer. The apartment itself was satisfactory aside from some aesthetic issues, and the pool was great, but I did experience a few issues with the staff. Firstly, the woman who we worked with while moving in was far from expeditious while answering questions and it took 2 full months to get our security deposit back. My biggest issue was with being charged rent for a month that we did not use that was outside of our lease. Although we very... read more

Prepare to be ignored (unless they can take money from you) The attitude of the staff was excellent, until I moved in. Then things deteriorated at a steady rate. The office personnel would call me and threaten to fine me for having items on my balcony, (apparently folding walmart chairs are okay, but not a $300 Papasan for reading) while ignoring other balconies. I complained once a month about the mold in the vents (which was clearly just painted over, after the previous tenant vacated) which left me with a cough for most o... read more

Fairfax Square apartment problems The apartment has a nice layout and a good amount of space, but things start to go wrong when looking at the quality. After being moved in for less than a week, the kitchen sink was leaking, the knob on the wash machine broke off, the ceiling started to settle and you can see bubbles from the nails under the plaster, and the cabinets and brick wall have wall paint along the top. The good news is that the apartment complex will fix issues when you submit a work order. Hopefully.

Good Location, Decent Amenities, Not So Great Service We have been living here for coming up on two years and while there are some good "Pros" to living at Fairfax Square, there are also many "Cons" - not to mention that there are PLENTY of other (much newer, nicer) communities to choose from in this area. Depending on what you're looking for, Fairfax Square could be a great fit or a really poor option for you: Pros: *Great location right off of Main Street, really close to GMU, tons of restaurants and stores, and easy acces... read more

Great location, decent amenities, horrible management. I've been living at Fairfax Square for a little under two years (although I don't foresee myself staying for a third) and overall my experience would have been good - but every single interaction with the management and property staff has been dreadful (minus one staff member) and I'm made to feel like a nuisance for asking for assistance or standard maintenance requests. The location is great and convenient and although the facilities are a bit outdated and in need of a... read more
