Renter Beware of Vest Residential
January 28, 2025RENTER BEWARE! I loved living here until the new management company, Vest Residential, took over. I moved out in August of 2024 and have yet to receive my deposit. They initially sent the check to the wrong address and voided it after it was re-issued with no known reason even to the staff (which the lease office workers are amazing). I was given the contact information to the new management company and they refuse to answer my e-mails or calls. I will now have to take legal action. I would NOT ...recommend renting here as long as Vest Residential is over the property.Property Manager Responded

Review from Apartments.com
Great place to live!!
July 14, 2023So I left a review a while back and put the wrong name for one of the leasing office employees so first thing I'll do is give Mr. George his flowers. He along with the rest of the leasing office team are really nice people and go out of their way to assist when they can. For example, just recently me and my girlfriend went out of the country and somehow our door was wide open while we were gone. (to many variables to point blame at so bottomline it's my fault) They went out of their way to get in ...touch with us because they knew we were not in town. I'm unable to express in words my appreciation for this since we have a cat and 20+ what if thoughts were scrolling through our minds. Lastly, I'll shout out the neighborhood as well. I don't talk to the other tenants unless it's situational like walking our dog or I go to an event hosted at the leasing office. One of the neighbors that walks their dog noticed our door was wide open and got concerned when they yelled in the apartment and didn't get an answer. They knew we had a cat(she sleeps in the window so everyone can see her) and called security concerned for our home. I can't say for certain that this level of concern from my neighbors in combination from the leasing office would have been taken as serious if I was living anywhere else but I'm greatful that it worked out here.Property Manager Responded
July 17, 2023Thank you for sharing your experience, Justin! We appreciate your kind words about George and the rest of our leasing office team. It's wonderful to hear that they were able to assist you when you needed it the most. We're glad to hear that your cat is safe and sound and that everything worked out in the end. We're also happy to hear that you enjoy the neighborhood and that your fellow tenants are looking out for each other. Thank you for choosing The Encore as your home and please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist you further.

Future Residents Beware - Mold?
August 4, 2022In the short three months we have lived here, our experience has been less than savory for what is supposed to be a luxury community. Prepare for a headache because despite the urgency of any submitted repair requests, it likely will not be completed until months later. We currently have mold in our apartment that still has not been properly addressed for what’s going on a month after being initially reported. The location of the complex is it’s only saving grace. This has been an incredibly ...disappointing renting experience especially because we were looking forward to enjoying our time in this community. For as much money as residents pay in this complex, we should not have to deal with unanswered repair requests, a lack of transparency & honesty from the staff, and lackadaisical effort to resolve resident issues. Incredibly disappointing. 10 out of 10 would not recommend!Property Manager Responded
August 15, 2022Thank you for your feedback. Please be assured that we're committed to your satisfaction and comfort. We understand that the Property Manager along with the Regional Manager have been in touch with you to address your concerns. We ask that you please stop into the office or contact us directly at bonaventurelistens@bonaventure.com to speak with someone from our team. Thank you and we look forward to working with you and resolving your concerns.

Do Not Move Here
December 11, 2021I am writing as many reviews as I can to warn others so they don't have to got through what I am currently going through. I have been in contact with The Encore for weeks about moving on December 14th into an apartment I was approved for. I have had to go to the leasing office 3 times to even get an answer from these people and when I do it's BULL. Dec. 10th, 6:34 PM I get a call from an agent telling me my apartment won't be ready until the end of the week and she won't have an answer on if I ...have an apartment at all until Dec. 13th. I work in property management and this is inexcusable. I gave my current place 60 days notice as directed and now I don't have a place to stay after the 14th and have to scramble to try and find one.Property Manager Responded
December 15, 2021We're sorry to see this review, Deandra. We aim to create an application experience that's simple and seamless. We apologize if this has not been your experience. We sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding or miscommunication. Please contact us at bonaventurelistens@bonaventure.com. Thank you.

Terrible Experience_ Never Again_ Lower than Poor
July 12, 2021The location is great and the shuttle van is excellent. That is about all I can say good about the apartment complex. You can expect management to change every 8-12 months, maintenance extremely poor, at best, and no access to management. Check other sites to verify my statements. If you move here, especially military, be sure to get every promise made to you in writing and stay on top of all maintenance repairs. For example, my HVAC was out from January- May. Other people were having the ...same problem and management offered electric heaters and fans to compensate renters. This is/ was ridiculous. Whoever the property manager is when you sign the lease will it be hear when you vacate. The Encore apartment complex is “Terrible”.Property Manager Responded
July 27, 2021Thank you for your feedback. Our team strives on a daily basis to cultivate a welcoming, comfortable living experience for our residents, and we apologize that you haven’t been seeing our efforts reflected in your stay. Kindly contact us at bonaventurelistens@bonaventure.com to discuss your concerns.

Resident satisfaction not a concert here
April 19, 2021PROS: The grounds are pretty nice and they have nice areas for your dogs to enjoy. The gym is pretty nice as well. CONS: They do not care about the residents here. It has been 6 weeks, multiple tickets, multiple correspondence with corporate, and no one has even come to look at my why my washer machine is not working. Now the air conditioning is not working. Not to mention all the items I marked as not working on my move-in inspection sheet that they have not fixed either. These are not luxury ...apartments. Please save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere. Also depending on what building you are in, parking can be an issue. The floors are thin so you will here just about every step your neighbors take. Management is completely unresponsive.Property Manager Responded

August 14, 2020We very much enjoy living at Southern Towers and the staff have always been attentive to our needs, even during these trying and unusual times. This is our second residency at Southern Towers (the first from 2010-2014), so the fact that we returned when we again relocated to the D.C.-Metro area says it all. GREAT access to our work downtown. Thank you, Staff of Southern Towers! Dr. Smith.Review from Apartments.com
