Horizon East & West

I currently am a resident of Horizon and I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. First off, although they are nice to you when you sign a lease, understand that they do NOT care at all about you once you actually sign that lease. I currently have the apartments directly below, directly above, and to the left of my apartment being renovated. That means that EVERY DAY starting at 7am I hear construction sounds. I don’t mean occasional hammering… I mean the sounds of SAWS, automatic drills, and loud music and screaming from the workers. From ALL directions! I work from home, so as you can imagine this is a nightmare.
I have talked to the staff multiple times about it, and nothing seems to change. They essentially cut me off when I even try to talk about it. This morning the construction people began before 8am — on a SATURDAY! I understand that buildings /​companies need to make renovations, but to do 3 that are all direct neighbors of the same apartment is just horrible business. Good management would know to keep a balance of keeping current tenants happy, and being able to renovate for the future.
It’s quite disappointing, especially given the rent is ridiculously high considering the condition of the building (extremely old) and the terrible location. You can’t walk ANYWHERE from here — Lee Highway (the street its on — it meets w/​Old Dominion) is literally a highway… so no walking. I tried to walk to Dunkin Donuts once… that was a mistake (I almost got hit by a truck).
The AC/​Heating system is a joke. The building decides whether it is on heat or cool. So you are either freezing (i’m sitting in my 62 degree apartment writing this because I can’t turn on heat) or living in 90 degrees. Literally. Also, no ceiling fans. The AC /​heat is 1 vent in each room that blows out dust with it. It’s like a terrible hotel.
Bottom line, you can get a LOT more for your money around here. and find a building that’s more modern — and that you won’t be paying the price of their renovations while you actually live there.
Take it from me, someone who has lost my ability to concentrate, and even SLEEP due to the management of this property… do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

The management at this location is HORRIBLE, the rent prices are ridiculous sometimes they make mistakes when they send you the utility Bill or sometimes they doent send it at all and then they love charging EXTRA FEES. Their laundry never works 4 out of 10 of the machines work. Their elevetors dont work sometimes. They dont even have a pool. in their gym somw machines dont work. But truly the worst part is management, they do not know how to deal or COMMUNICATE with their tenants. Make sure you dont do anything wrong because they will BlAME it on you. If you have the opportunity to live elsewhere I highly recommend you do.

This place is horrible!!! The rent is too expensive considering that it’s an old building. No pool. Their gym is very bad maintained. Every time u go there, the equipment is broken. So get a membership in Gold’s gym (Ballston area is close) or anywhere else.
Parking is huge, however they give away a lot of parking permits to the visitors (sometimes month permits), so it’s very hard to find a parking sometimes, especially late at night. Which is ridiculous!
But the most important, the leasing office stuff is terrible. Very poor customer service skills. They might seem to be nice at the beginning, but as soon as you move in, they trying their best to get as much many away from you as they can (I’m talking about all kind of fees, especially late fees).I even see them fighting with each other couple of times, and screaming at the tenants in the lobby, which is unprofessional! Nora is very hot tempered and doesn’t know her place and how to talk to ppl at all. So solving any issues with her is almost impossible. She doesn’t pursue your interests, remember. Only the interests of theirs.
BE CAREFUL! Read your leasing contract very
thoroughly! They will never let u know or remind you any leasing rules or conditions. Only when you move out, they will tell u that, but before they will charge u for any extra day you stay.
Location is very convenient, but my advice: GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Apartments are veeeeery old. They also have renovated ones, but the price is high and it doesn’t worst your money$$$ (and we all work hard for them)
For the same price you can rent an apt. In brand new building.
Good luck and I hope my review gonna help you with your decision and save you money:)

My husband and I were harrassed by a crazy neighbor while living here. We lived there for four or five months and we were out of town for almost a month and a half of it. Not sure if this person thought we were the person that used to live there, or they had an issue with a mixed race couple… but this person made false reports to management about our noise level while we were out of town, rang our doorbell in the middle of the night, etc. etc.
Bottom line– management did not do a thing. We forfeited our deposit and finally moved out, but now I am getting harassing calls at work, to relatives… demanding the $ 200 move out fee that we refused to pay.
This place is awful. Take the time to find something better, there is a reason this place is slightly cheaper than the rest!

This North Arlington apartment complex is a bit interesting. I have lived here since July 2008, and I’m not sure if it’s a retirement home, college dorm, nursery, or professional housing unit. This diverse tenant demographic certainly makes for some interesting elevator chatter! My BIGGEST beef with this place is that they dont turn the AC on until mid/​late May. It has already been in the mid 90’s and we have no AC. FIND AN APARTMENT THAT LETS YOU CONTROL YOUR THERMOSTATE 24÷7÷365. My apartment is totally outdated. The appliances are from the 1970’s at best. It doesnt even have a microwave! I’ve seen through people’s windows on the first floor, and their kitchens look new– but I havent heard any word about renovating. $ 1340 for a 1BR plus utilities in Arlington is good, but I’d almost rather get a roommate and find a nicer place right at the metro, for less.
There is a laundry room in the building, with 10 washers and 10 dryers. In 9 months I havent had to wait to do laundry. The apartments are pretty large, mine being 750 square feet. THe people here drive way too fast in the parking lot, but it’s NOVA, everyone is go-​go-​go. The leasing lady, Mary, is such a wonderful person, she’s always available and super nice.
I’ve definitely lived in nicer apartments around in Northern Virginia.
