Water Park Towers is an exceptionally well managed quiet friendly considerate adult complex in the heart of Crystal City and as its name suggests next to the community waterfall park. We have lived here since 2004 both on the Crystal Drive and airport sides of the building. The airport side of the building has penthouse quality views to die for above floor 8 (the best I think are in the south tower). Great for fireworks viewing. It is like having an observation deck on official DC and airport ...
north runways out your window. The railroad noise is a factor though. Rents are reasonable relative to newer competitors. However factor in utility add on paid to building which can add $150-200 a month to living costs and parking charge of $100 a month if you need it. The building backs up to VRE station with a quick comfortable rush hour ride to L’Enfant Plaza and Union station (Senate side of Capitol Hill). Metro is across the street for everything else. The fitness center has modern LifeFitness cardio equipment. This building does require maintenance and the on-site crew is experienced, extremely competent and responsive. A contract cleaning crew keeps the public areas spiffy. Seem to be here everyday. There is a lot of larger scale maintenance going on and it is noisy but tolerable (we wouldn’t feel need to move over it). This is the center of Amazon HQ2 driven development- new addictive upscale bakery and CVS across the street, movie theater, taco joint and Solidcore coming. Morton’s steakhouse down block to bankrupt you. More restaurants on the way. Biggest grievance: occasional closure of Crystal Drive for road races, Marine Corps Marathon runs past the building. Be forewarned.
