Manor House Apartments

Manor House is an older building, and we've had isolated issues with plumbing and a leak in our storage closet. Current management, led by property manager Uma Dean, have been genuinely fantastic. They are responsive, proactive, and flexible with any issues. And maintenance staff have been friendly and professional in addressing any requests inside our unit.

We've lived here for just under 1.5 years and have absolutely loved it. It's the best apartment we've ever called home, and if we weren't buying a house, we'd definitely continue renting here. Some reasons why we love it: great floorplan layout, cute neighborhood, great staff, dog-friendly, pretty courtyard, nice neighbors, convenient location, historic charm with decent updates, and clearly well taken care of!

Ive had an exceptionally positive experience renting an apartment at Manor House over the last two years and I would absolutely stay longer if I could. When I began my apartment search two years ago, I knew I wanted to live within a 10 min drive to the Pentagon and in a dog-friendly area so I started looking in the Arlington and Alexandria apartment communities. What I found were a lot of concrete high-rise apartments that felt austere and rushed in the construction and which all seemingly had a nightclub atmosphere within the building or immediately in the entry way; this was not for me or anything close to what I would want to come home to (even though I know home is wherever your dog is). I looked at about ten apartments before finding Manor House and then I knew right away this was where I wanted to live. Manor House is charming and cared for and elegant in a low-key way. Nestled in what feels like a private park, flowers and greenery abound and there are just three floors per building and only 7 or so apartments per floor. The effect of this is that the grounds and the complex provide a tranquil reprieve from the raucous hustle of standard DC area living. Additionally, the apartment is remarkably well-maintained both inside and out. I mentioned the park-like atmosphere: this is due to meticulous grounds-keepers that lay new sod and maintain beautiful flowers around every aspect of the property. Inside the common areas a daily housekeeping service comprised of some of the kindest people youll ever meet around D.C. keeps these spaces immaculately clean (including right up to your front door). And then there's inside the apartments: From hardwood floors to ornate crown molding to custom built shelves, Manor House gets all the details right. Ill add to this that, when I walked into my apartment on the first day of my rental period, there was a large welcome basket that greeted me with a card signed by the management team alongside treats for my dog. . . Manor House understands that details make all of the difference. Of course, this quiet and immaculately maintained park-like apartment with hardwood floors and crown molding that gets the finer details and leaves gift baskets for me and my dog doesn't just happen. It's intentional and due to a combination of an extremely pro-active and responsive onsite management team (shout-out to Jeff, George, Latisha and now Loretta who have made living here so easy and comfortable) and attentive ownership who care about the comfort of their tenants and the quality of their property.

If you are looking for a quiet and nice community this is the place for you. Management and maintenance is always well maintained. There is always places to park and nearby shops and convenience stores to visit. Laundry is easy to do because there is a sign up sheet and there is never a problem with that. It is a very pet friendly apartment community and there is even a large dog park nearby. I always take my dog to new places around the neighborhood. Sometimes when it rains, I end up just taking him to the pet area right outside the apartment building. There was always great light in my unit and I never had any problems with the appliances in my unit. They also make sure that they maintain regular pest control by coming to the apartment to perform pest sprays in the bathroom and kitchen. Never had a pest problem. Management and staff are very nice and always helpful.

I've been a resident for 3 years at Manor House and if I hadn't had the opportunity to buy a house, I'd have stayed longer. I'd been trying to rent here for ages because of all the great reviews - and they're great for a reason. The apartment is spacious, has tons of charm and character, plus central ac/heat, and a dishwasher (my two must haves). Also free off-street parking. I've lived in the bigger newer apartment complexes and always had the worst experience. Management would try every way to charge you extra or not provide maintenance and everything always seemed to be breaking. Not the case here. My AC broke a couple of weeks ago and I texted the building manager and within an hour she had maintenance up to fix it. Also all of the staff are amazing, but especially the building manager Uma. I seriously don't think she sleeps. She's always available and always going the extra mile to make sure residents are happy. The notification system went on the fritz and she texted me to let me know each time they did routine pest control so I wouldn't be caught unaware. Also, I never had a bug in the apartment, literally not even a fly. You can tell the owners really take pride in maintaining the building and giving residents a good experience. And the residents are even great. Most people seem to be late 20s/early 30s or older folks in between houses. Everyone is quiet and respectful of the shared space - especially the shared laundry. I've had shared laundry before and it was a nightmare but here it's super clean, I've never had issues with people leaving their clothes or moving mine, there's a sign-up sheet that people really stick to, and you can pay with your phone. All around highly recommend.
