Hi,

I recently accepted a job offer in Crystal City and am planning to sign a lease at an apartment complex called "Archstone newport Village" I have visited apartmentratings.com but the reviews were quite alarming. I just wanted to know if anybody could give me an idea as for the place, neighborhood, crime, parking situation ( I understand guests cannot park onsite... are there any alternatives?) , should i take my car to go to work or can I just take the bus... The less expensive, the better it is.... I am living out of state and found it difficult to make the right decision when I am too far away.

Thank in advance

I don't know off the top of my heard where that is. If you could give an address I/we might be able to tell you about the neighborhood, close by areas, etc.

I'm pretty certain that Archstone is on Braddock Rd. near the NVCC Alexandria campus. The apartments look clean, the neighborhood is good and safe even though the area can turn a little ugly once you go north and west in some parts. Catching a bus to Crystal City from Archstone should be no problem and i would do that over driving anyday (traffic is HORRIBLE in NoVA.)

All in all, Archstone should be a good place for you to call home.

Default Thank You

I decided to go ahead and picked Archstone which is indeed on West Braddock Road. Hopefully, I made the right choice. Thank you for your input. I guess the bus will work for me... I must say that it has been a while since i took tpublic transportations but I'm sure I'll get used to it. At least, i'll feel like I am doing some exercises.
