The Beacon Clarendon

When we moved into Beacon last year, our unit had not been occupied for awhile, and though it was “cleaned,” we had spiders on webs in doors/windowsills and dust everywhere. Someone had overstayed on the loading dock, and we had to pay our movers...

DO NOT MOVE HERE. The pool has been “opening” since 7/1. Still no confirmed date on when they are opening. I regret renewing my lease here. The conceded management reminded me that there is a pandemic they are dealing with (the same pandemic that...

My husband and I moved here in October 2014 after a few years of commuting between Atlanta and Arlington. We had looked at apartment and condo communities for two years in the Courthouse, Clarendon and Ballston areas and waited for The Beacon to be c...

Handled Perfect. Just moved in and reported 4 fix-it items. Beacon sent a skilled repairman the next day, and he fixed everything: Disposal, clogged drain, Ice maker, and replaced a faucet aerator (to increase water pressure). Very happy!

Great location, but absolutely awful customer service. the 24/7 overnight concierge service that we pay for lefts the building for 2 hours and 45 minutes according to the security cameras. I wasn't able to access my unit and the management told me to...

Horrible building, mainly due to incompetent management. First, it's near the bars, and drunk kids pee and puke on (actually ON) the building every night. Second, the management tries to bilk you for everything. Want an extra key? $200 penalty. Lose ...

Pros: The location is central and the units look nice. Cons: The quality of the furnishings is a bit wanting. The windows are poorly designed, such that (1) you cannot open them more than about 2 inches (there is a rubber stopper preventing opening f...

The service here is excellent. The staff is always friendly and eager to help. Alton, in particular, has been a life-saver on more than one occasion. I'm only giving four stars, though, because I'm not crazy about the "green" features in my particula...

I've been a resident since 2015 and despite some regretful changes (new construction across the street and loss of long-term maintenance manager), this continues to be a stellar building due to its exceptional architectural details, superb building q...

Terrible service both from maintenance and the leasing office. When I moved into my apartment it clearly had not been cleaned or painted after the other tenants moved out. The counter had dog bites all over it, the lament floor peeling in places, scu...

Really bad system for leaving and retrieving keys for pet sitters/guests. Enforcement of smoking policy nonexistent, too much turnover at front desk

Great place to live, admin processes a bit slow though

I do NOT recommend this property. The management is pretty awful and unpleasant. The walls are very thin so you hear your neighbors next to you and above and below you. I lived with a crying baby (usually at 5am and 11pm) on one side and a barking do...

The Beacon is a very nice, boutique-sized community. I like that there are fewer apartments per floor in both buildings than you'd find in many others, and the design within the building is calming, with clean, well-maintained shared spaces. I'm enjo...

This place is the worst. First, they charge a premium to live there--such a premium requires premier apartments. This is just not the case. I had a beautiful third floor balcony, which was unusable because tenants would rain down trash, water, and pl...

Ive only lived here for 4 months and the electronic key fob has already died. Since the incident happened after the office was closed I was locked out of my apartement. When you pay neary $2,300 a month in rent you would hope that they would provide ...

My husband and I have lived at The Beacon for the past year and it has hands down been the best place we've ever lived. The leasing office (specifically Sinem!) is amazing and quick to accommodate requests. The finishes in the apartments are beautifu...

This place was nice when I moved in but the management and ownership changed and it's bad now. No maintenance, unresponsive, unfriendly, and honestly unsafe. Many times I have seen the fire escape doors propped open and the garage door is broken so e...

So far so good. The location cannot be beat. I'm not sure about the rising rent rates but there is really nothing to compare it to. I just renewed for my 3rd year and the main reason was the location and the quality of the building.

Great experience so far! Move in was easy and the staff is extremely nice. The grounds are well kept. Its a active area but do not hear any noise from the street. The area is safe and I would highly recommend this building.

I would recommend The Beacon Clarendon to anybody looking for a young and efficient place. Since the very first time, the management made feel at ease and free to choose the best option for me. Moreover they always found a solution to my inquiries. I...

The best apartment in Clarendon/Arlington, hands down. On the pricier side, but the concierge and leasing agents are great! Tons of great dogs in the buildings, and the residents are super outgoing.

One of the best building in Arlington. Nice management team and amazing interior design.

I really enjoy the Beacon, though find the rent to be slightly too high. The elevators are also slower and less reliable than I would like. Over all, I think the Beacon is a great place to live, but the rent increase was hard to swallow when I renewe...

Great community, with easy access to a multitude of different restaurants, gyms, and other activities. Also great running trails and extremely convenient to get onto the metro for a short ride into DC. Overall, this is a great apartment building.

Having a great time so far. Awesome staff, awesome neighborhood, awesome location. The apartments themselves are well done, the appliances are nice, the finishes are great. It was the best apartment we looked at, and we are happy to be here.

Great community. Great concierge staff. I like the infused water in the lobby. I dislike my neighbor who makes too much noise. I don't like how much parking costs. I like the community areas in the building like the gym and appreciate the computer/ p...

We waited for this building to be completed before selling our Atlanta homes and making the commitment to Arlington. Biggest part of the appeal: NEWNESS. Second and third most important factors in deciding to move here: no apartment is above us and w...

Am really happy with my experience in the Beacon after nearly 2 years of residence. High quality apartments, well-maintained, nice neighbours and in a great neighbourhood with all possible amenities very close by. What more could you want!?

The leasing process took longer than expected, but all the associates were helpful in resolving any issues I had. Location is ideal for work/school. Excellent amenities. Great customer service. I would recommend living here to any future tenants.

It is very convinient location such as near to Metro Clarendon station, a lot of world wide restraurants, Whole foods, and Giants etc. Builing is new and nice. Traffic in front of the building is little bit noisy. Most of parts are satisfied level.

Best rental building in Clarendon. VERY short walking distance to the metro, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods. Building is brand new and well maintained. Apartments are well designed and have open layouts with LOTS of nice windows and balconies.
