    Current resident. It may look like a good deal, but this company doesn't post your account anywhere, but slip envelopes under your door with random amounts and late fees. Stay far away

  • A spacious, quiet apartment close to everything!

    October 12, 2015
    We recently moved into the Birchwood community from just down the road at another rental community in the area, and we defeintly prefer this building. This building does not have a pool, or a concierge to greet you every afternoon but it does have a lot to offer. Pros: You could basically live in your closet! There are huge walk in closets in both bedrooms, which makes it a perfect apartment for roommates, no one is going to get stuck with the smaller space. The kitchen is spacious, with ...
    tile flooring, a pantry, and even has an ice maker in the freezer- something you rarely find in apartments in this area. The living room leads out to our balcony which provides a ton of light into the apartment at all times of the day. I have heard people complain that this building is "noisy" but to be honest, it is not noisy at all, I rarely ever see anyone in the building. It is quiet and pleasant and just a block from the main drag. There is a ton of street parking right out front for your guests, which is a perk. Cons: The trash has to be taken to a dumpster on the parking lot, they do keep it very tidy in that area and well light but it is still a pain to have to take your trash down the steps and outside.They don't have online rent payment. & The elevator is so very slow, but not the end of the world! I would recommend moving here, especially for the price and size!

  • Good Apt in Good Location

    August 4, 2015
    Birchwood is a great place for young professionals looking to live in a great neighborhood close to the metro. The apartment is located equal distance from VA Square and Ballston metros. Like other review have said, the amenities are basic, but they are still charging a lot of money for the location. I have been there for about 2 years and I am one of their longest residents. The turnover is incredible. With all of the newer buildings going up around the area with better amenities, it is ...
    understandable that they cannot retain residents. However, all of the Dittmar properties are exactly the same - very basic and plain. There has been a lot of turnover in the office management as of late which is quite annoying. The former office manager, Tasnim, was the best, but there has since been at least 2 others who are less than acceptable. Overall the place is pretty quite and fine for a place to stay in a great area.

  • Meets Basic Needs

    July 20, 2015
    This is a great place for someone looking for an apartment with minimal amenities. The apartments are large with basic kitchen and sound proof. Priced high because of location.
