The Paramount

Reviews

Price is a big factor for us and the price of our apartment is better than others in the area. We have really struggled with the level of noise, both in the neighborhood and with our neighbors within the building.

The Paramount has been an amazing place to call home! I am consistently amazed by how kind everyone is on the management and maintenance teams!

Eden T.

While the management office was hard to contact at times - I always got a call back. The move in process was really easy and I love my apartment!

Aarti P.

Great staff and location, but elevators are often out of service and there is no access to stairwells from the lobby, so you are forced to wait. Also, the maintenance staff enters apartments without permission.

Ruthie Ayesha M.

Staff is very friendly and professional. Best Maintenance Team. The location of Paramount is ideal for shopping, dining , walking and parks for kids. I have lived in this community for years and love it.

James L.

Very pleased with all of the incredible support during the move. A wonderful staff and great processes for integrating residents. Can't say enough how happy I'm with choosing the Paramount.

We have been here for two and a half months so far. We wish the roof and penthouse amenities were open on Sundays. Love the apartment and all the individual household amenities like the balcony and renovated kitchen.

Management staff is very friendly and amazing. Maintenance takes care of stuff almost the very next day. 5 stars for both the management and the maintenance staff. The construction noise is too much and we cannot sit and enjoy the sun in the balcony....

Complex is nice, management is nicer. My only complaint is the gym and other shared spaces are still on covid hours even though mask policy has been changed.

neighborhood is really good spot to be in. the staff are friendly and maintenance team is excellent. One flaw is the walls are thin and some neighbors are rude but otherwise overall good place.

Aarti P.

Great location! Staff is friendly and keep the building clean. Amenities are good but limited hours covid policy is counterproductive since more people pack into the gym simultaneously during limited hours versus when it was open 24 hours.

The units are not bad, but not great. They are a bit old and have older appliances and cheap building materials in parts. They are quite noisy too because of the roads outside. In the hallways you can hear quite clearly into others units, but once in...

I was very pleased with this place when Bozzuto moved us in. I was not happy when WRIT took over. They have gotten a better but the staff turnover is so frequent that it's kind of annoying. It has not deterred me recommending this place to others.

Very satisfied under previous management. New management has reduced some services (especially concierge coverage at the lobby desk) in a way that is inconvenient for residents. The service was increased somewhat as a response to significant resident...

We love the apartment layout and the easy access to the Crystal City Metro Station. The community spaces are kept clean and have great views of the Potomac and DC. A few months after we moved in, a new management company took over the building and ha...

The apartments at the Paramount are fairly nice. Open kitchen and living room layouts are hard to find in apartments. But, the rudeness of the staff make living in the Paramount miserable. good luck getting your packages if you work a normal 9-5 sche...

It's a beautiful apartment with lovely wood floors and open spaces, and it's in a great location only 5 minutes from the Crystal City Metro and walking distance from everything you could ever need.

I originally moved into the Hampton in July of 1985. In 1989 I moved from a 2br/2bath to the largest 2br/2bath which I continued to occupy until January 2011. In January 2011 I downsized to a 2br/1 1/2 bath. As I approach the end of my 26th year at t...

The previous must have been evicted for non-payment. This is a great value, go see for yourself. It is more like a community then an apartment building.

Disgusting roach infested apartments water/mold damage bad smells (cat pee) very slow elevators (if they are working at all) the water is constantly being shut off (sometimes w/o warning). Pretty much the worst living experience of my life!

The maintenance staff has to be the worst in the world - the water gets cut off at least twice a month, heating and air condition units don't work and the maintenance staff doesn't fix them.
