Worst Apartment Experience Ever! Do Not Move Here
August 24, 2025 - Reseña de Apartments.com
My girlfriend and I lived at Springfield Station for about a year, and it has been hands down the worst apartment experience we've ever had. We were forced to move out after the leasing office completely screwed us over. Here's the timeline: We were given an offer letter to renew our lease. The next day, out of nowhere, they told us that the offer had been rescinded because we hadn't signed it yet, and instead, they mailed us a non-renewal notice. To make matters worse, we weren't even told about ...
this right away--we were away, and by the time we found out, we had less than a month to find a new place. When we moved in, we based our furniture purchase on the size of the apartment and the upstairs loft. We couldn't find a comparable place for the same price and space anywhere else, so we spent money buying furniture that now, we had to get rid of. We wasted so much money moving here, and to have to do the entire moving process again just a year later was such a headache. Our original plan was to stay for at least 2-3 years, save up, and then buy a house. But now, we're starting over with all those savings gone. It's already tough to make it in the DMV area in our 20s, and this has made it even harder. When I went to the leasing office to discuss it, the leasing team showed zero remorse. They claimed we had violated the lease, but when I met with the leasing manager and the assistant, they told me they didn't have to give us a reason. I've lived in several apartments over the years, and I've NEVER been treated like this. I always received a notice or warning if there was ever a lease violation. I even asked the new property that we moved to (managed by a family member) whether they'd always provide a reason for violations, and they said yes, and they had never heard of the shady tactics Springfield Station was using. Oh, and don't even get me started on the rats. The area in front of the building across from the leasing office was infested, and I saw a rat nearly every night for a full month. It's disgusting. This place was an absolute nightmare, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I never leave reviews, but this experience was so awful, I had to share it. If you value your sanity, DO NOT move here!
