The Alexander has been great so far. I never hear the neighbors and proximity to different areas of Alexandria and DC is close. The parking garage is a bit tight but manageable however the parking pass situation is tedious, but a necessary evil.

It's a great location. You get a lot for your money. I enjoy coming home every day. Ashley at the leasing office it simply the best!

Overall this a great building. It's unfortunate that the rent continues to be increased at least 5% every year while the number of services offered continue to dwindle. Good luck timing it right to catch the Concierge at the front desk. I've heard co...

We just moved here and it's NOT luxury at all! Marissa is rude and the staff is as well. Excluding Sam and Casey. Our neighbors smoke weed and you can smell the stink of their food through the huge gap in the door. It's not worth it. Go to Old Town i...

We moved here a year ago because basically it was the cheapest option that was new. A year later, they increase the rent 10%. It's unacceptable and unless you plan on staying for just one year, or really enjoy packing your stuff and moving every year...

Please be aware of a clause in the lease agreement - it states you will remove the pet from the premises if the pet is determined to be a nuisance, annoyance, etc. If just one tenant complains, management considers ths to be an annoyance. I have one ...
