I’ve lived at the Maxwell for over 2.5 years and as I prepare to move out this weekend I wanted to share what a great experience I’ve had at this property. The leasing agents, property managers, and maintenance staff have always been diligent, kn...

The aparments are very nice. The amenidies are good too. But the management is really bad. They will make you pay for everything. They dont return the security deposit for smallest stuff - dirty oven, streched carpet and little mold in the bathtub. T...

After touring the community I decided not to complete an application and removed it from my list based on the following factors: 1. Amenities (or lack thereof)- this community lacks a pool, rooftop common area, and concierge. That would be fine (and ...

I've been living in The Maxwell for six months now and have had a wonderful experience. All apartments in Arlington are expensive, so I can't really make any valid criticisms on the price front. The Maxwell actually strikes a solid balance here; it's...

It's been good, just a little pricey. Would consider moving due to high rent for 630 sq ft. Other than that, the apartment has a great location, gym, kept clean, nice appliances, but still too expensive.

The only huge down side is that there aren't that many amenities on site so compared what you get at other buildings for the same price, it sucks. But I do enjoy living here, it's clean and the location is perfect
