The Eclipse On Center Park Condominiums

The Eclipse is a great place to live. The amenities here are worth mentioning. Trash disposal /​chutes (which are cleaned daily), well manicured grounds, underground parking, a gym, a party room (which you can only reserve if you are a condo owner) and a pool.
The hallways are relatively quiet and I never hear my neighbors. There is a doorman and they receive packages for residents, which is very convenient.
There are several businesses located in the plaza, but it seems difficult for any of them to flourish. The sports/​live music bar downstairs is quite nice but never really seems to get busy. If you’re in a pinch for food, there are very few delivery options on seemless web. This area is quiet.
The gym is modest. If you are a heavy weightlifter and need a squat rack or bench, you won’t find one here. However, there is an LA fitness located right across the street that can accommodate you.
There is also a dry cleaner located on the ground floor and a dentist. Both are very convenient and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the dentist; it’s not often I can say that.
There was a Harris Teeter located in one of the buildings, however, a sewage leak forced them to renovate and the status of this business returning is unknown. This was wildly convenient and the quality of the store was excellent.

Very nice, modern condos in a good area. The units range in size from very small studios to multi-​bedroom units, and are on the pricey side. There was a great supermarket on the lower level, but it has been closed for quite a while.

As a recent purchaser of a condo here, I can say I love it and I am very happy with my purchase. You couldn’t have asked for a better location, better neighbors and its perfect for myself and my hubby. Its stones through from tons of shops and movie theater, it has its own shuttle to and from the crystal city metro (if you don’t feel like walking), and tons of capitol bike share ports as well. Its easy to get to and from DC and around Arlington. And the views from the FREE community room and porch are breathtaking. The building is pet friendly with Center Park right across the street and green space all round the building. The concierge staff are positive and helpful and I think I got more than my money’s worth here. I hope to call the Eclipse home for a long time.

The review I just read is unfortunate. To post so many unpleasant things about a wonderful place is not right. The wrong impression was given here and I hope to right it. I can’t believe that so many travesties have happened to this one tenant. It’s unfortunate, but not the norm.
I have been living here over 6 years and would never want to leave. Every amenity is here, every convenience is here, the people are lovely, the grounds are well kept, the staff are very nice from the management to concierge. If i have ever had a problem or complaint it was rectified immediately.
I have NEVER seen towels on cars and I come in many different directions on different levels. This may happen but the Eclipse not making this right sounds unreal.
There is ample parking in the garage and every home comes with at least one parking spot, however you will get towed if you park in someone spot. Why is that a downside? It’s only intelligent not to park in someone spot. There are MANY open spots in the retail section the back of Harris Teeter for additional cars and guests with no towing issues.
Not finding packages? Not sure how this is a norm. Again living here 6 years, with over 30 packages coming to us during the holiday season, the busiest time of the year where packages are piled behind the desk as there is no room in the back, not one package had ever gone missing. This guys really has some bad luck.
Front doors open with box fans? That’s just crazy. I face the sunny side and the only issue with temperature is that it becomes freezing in the house because the AC pumps so well in a small space of 1200ft.
The trash disposal rooms do accumulate but are cleaned every morning. Not sure how this is an issue… it’s a trash area. Notices go out in the Eclipse letters about keeping it clean, but these are all just reminders. No one is reprimanding anyone in particular.
I don’t hear any maintenance workers however I am high up facing the courtyard and snow blowing… we may have had an issue during the first big storm when everyone in the city was having an issue but it has been clock work since then.
I have a feeling this guy lives facing the playground and over the top of the loading dock. That sucks as it could be noisy.
I don’t know about this guys hallway, but I have seen one shopping cart in 6 years and as a good neighbor I brought it down myself. No big deal.
The other amenities are a party room which is reserved FOR FREE! $ 500 deposit for issues, but FREE space around DC to throw a party is unheard of! It has a pool table, a rooftop deck looking at gorgeous DC Capitol and Washington Monument, free wireless internet, and a number of televisions. He complains the internet is always busy, well then have 3G on you IPAD like everyone else. And the furniture is cool and comfortable enough. How much time is this guy spending in there really?!
I am flabbergasted by this comment! We don’t want someone living in the building that plays a maddening game of avoid-​the-​fee and hide-​from-​the-​condo-​association. What a weirdo with no sense of moral or responsibility,
Living here has been WONDERFUL! We would do it again and are so happy we had the chance. Life is just easier with all of the amenities and conveniences around you. It’s been a pleasure.
