The Randolph Towers offers the best of all possible worlds. It is located in Ballston, one block north of the Ballston mall, slightly more than two blocks east of the Ballston metro station, and three quarters of a mile west of the heart of Clarendon. As a result, you can walk or take metro to a tremendous variety of stores, restaurants, malls, movie theaters, local parks and ball parks, tourist attractions, historical sites, universities, the Arlington County courts, library, and other
...offices, and other great locations in north Arlington (including Tysons Corner, now that the silver line has opened and services the Ballston metro station), downtown Washington, D.C., and Old Town Alexandria. The Randolph Towers has some of the lowest rents in the Ballston area, and the property manager, who is herself a resident, says that Dittmar, the company that owns and operates the Randolph Towers, strives to keep rents reasonable because it wants the residents to live here long-term. She and the rest of the staff are very friendly and helpful and quick to respond to the tenants' maintenance requests and other concerns. It must be admitted that the building itself is one of the older high rises in the Ballston area, so all of the apartments have AC, dishwashers, disposals, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and stackable washer/dryer units, but they do not have the latest amenities (e.g., granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, etc.). However, the building currently is undergoing significant renovations, both internally and externally--these renovations include a new common room/lounge area, a new outside courtyard with fountains and gas grills, new mailboxes, and a new business center with state-of-the-art Apple computers. In addition, the building features a nicely equipped gym that includes a rock wall as well as free weights and cardio equipment and an indoor pool that permits tenants to swim laps year-round. The Randolph Towers gives each tenant at least one parking space in its underground parking deck, and it has overnight guest parking in a surface lot behind the building. It also now offers some additional storage units for tenants who need more space. All in all, if you want to live quite affordably in one of the most exciting and desirable locations in the greater D.C. metro area, with convenient access to great night life, eateries, shopping, tourist sites, and more, you can't go wrong by renting at the Randolph Towers!
First Reserved Parking Space is $125.
