Shirlington House Apartments

I lived at Shirlington House for 3 years and enjoyed my time there. Building is older, but updated in many areas. Apartments are good size and electricity as well as gas are included in your rent (Water bill is the only variable cost you are responsible for and billed with your monthly rent.) Rarely heard my neighbors above or beside me as this is a concrete building. I was in a studio with no washer/dryer but laundry rooms are located on each floor. Due to shared vent systems throughout the... building, occasional cooking/smoke smells would enter the apartment. This building uses a boiler/chiller system so AC is only provided after May 1st through the beginning of October and heat is the only option from October 15th through April. The AC did break a handful of times while I lived there, so be aware! Maintenance is quick to respond to requests and very friendly. The leasing office turned over about three times during my time, but most everyone was friendly and able to help with the minimal issues I had. Lot parking was $75.00/month (garage parking is available) and Trash fees were $20.00/month. Building does offer a freight elevator for move-in/move-out that can be reserved as well as a convenience store located on floor 3 which has everyone one may need. Great/Safe location with easy access to I-95 as well as shops and restaurants within walking distance. Read More

This property is located in a beautiful neighborhood and very convenient location. Many things to do near by. The property is old and a lot of things break often (elevators / air conditioners)

The worst part is you dont control ypur own AC and the temperature of your apartment home and when you get heat or cold air conditioning. Is managed by the property. And they turn it on at a certain time of the year and turn it off at a certain point in the year as well. This is hell right now with... temperatures around 80-90s degrees and no air conditioning.

When you ask when they are going to turn it on, they are disrespectful and wanna seem very smart and jokesters and say “Sometime during the first weeks of May”. Imagine me telling them I’ll be paying my rent sometime soon during the first or second week of May…. Read More

Just a terrific place to live. Great neighbors, great neighborhood, great location. You won't find a better value in the area.

It is not a bad place to live. The staff make it easier to deal with some of the issues an older building like this has. They are attentive, professional and responsive. However, with the rent algorithm putting me in a situation where I am paying far more for an apartment of this quality than I think I should be paying, it will be hard for me to renew my lease.

Great place to live! Beautiful views and I never Hear my neighbors it's great !!
