Would not move here again. Would not recommend this place. Pros: my apartment has more square footage than other apartments in the area of that price Maintenance is reliable, trustworthy and friendly (even when there is a leak at 3am!) I feel like my neighbors (for the most part) are friendly and responsible. Park, paths, grounds are kept very nice. You can walk to Duck Donuts, the bagel store, MOMS organic. Great bus system. Cons: horrible workmanship inside the apartments- my kitchen has an inch long gap around the perimeter where the floor ends, before the cabinets begin. The craftsmanship of the cabinets in the kitchen is horrible. Minimal hot water at any time of day. Small hot water tank. Management does not take care of things that frustrate tenants - The neighbors below me have SIX cats (which breaks their lease and is illegal in Fairfax County) you can see them laying in the windows and ever since they have moved in the ENTIRE building smells like cat urine. In addition, these neighbors dispose of their trash and cat litter on their first floor porch on a regular basis. It is nasty! It is a HEALTH RISK. I have called to complain to management NUMEROUS times. Each time I call I am passed to a different person. Each time I am told "we will handle it" and nothing happens. I renewed my lease after management told me these tenants were moving out. BUT THEY DIDNT! I am at a loss as to what to do about this, which is why I am writing this review. When I call the front office I never know who will be there, there seems to be different people working there every few months. I don't know who is in charge because when I ask I am passed around. The "manager" never returns my calls. The management has lots of money to spend on parties and activities for the tenants (which may be great for some) but personally I'd rather my rent DOESNT go towards these activities. Maybe it could go towards more relevant expenses like a nicer pool or work out facility.

Great so far. Maintenance comes quickly to fix things and everyone is very helpful. Management needs to start screening for people with manners, whose little kids and grown ups don't stomp up and down stairs and slam doors all day and night. Some of us go to bed around 9:30 or 10, not after midnight!!!!! Other than that, it is a nice place to live and I have been enjoying "My Space" instead of shared living in one room. I needed to call maintenance on Christmas day 2015, because there was standing water in the front hallway, that looked like a leak of some type, or the main door had been left open all night, while it was raining. The person who called back said I had a wrong number, so I didn't call again.

Stuart Woods Apartments are disgusting, When I moved it I saw every roach in every corner and I had to get a roach expert to get rid of all them. Had to upgrade my stuff to stainless steel because the base stuff doesn't work that well. The laundry hook up wasn't working but the guy there got it fixed. Plus, I had to upgrade to stainless steel washing machine and dryer because the old one's don't work that well. Then, When you have a problem like when people throw garbage of their balcony, ( really cheesy people live here) The manger try's her best to take care of it, but it hard at times.

I have to say the only reason I am still living here is because they want you to pay two months worth of rent in one month! I have not had any good times while living here. After the dog attack I had two of the cleaning ladies hired by Staurt woods tell both my partner and I that are two dogs are evil and that they'd probably attack them. Saying all this in Spanish thinking we don't understand! My neighbors below me give me dirty looks and tell my dogs they are bad every time I see them. The people on my first floor smoke inside and outside there apartment and seem to have more then three people living in there apartment. I have a one year old daughter and am five months pregnant the last thing I need to deal with is these awful neighbors! Oh and if it doesn't smell like cigerattes the smell of pot is horrible! Seen many people using the beautiful trail as a place to smoke weed. I am an a very clean person seeing as how I have a small daughter and two dogs we are always cleaning. I had a run in with a Cockroach tonight and am so disgusted!! How do they expect me to pay to live in such a horrible conditions?? Cockroaches pothead cigeratte smoke I can't wait for my lease to be up! When I was first told about the place and given a tour I was lied too. No one is pleasant here. I had friends over and why we where playing on the tennis court a group of guys came on and instead of waiting the started playing and shoving us out of the way! when my neighbors cook you can smell all of the food in your apartment it disgusting so strong you have to open a window oh wait I can't because of the smokers below me! I have to choose between cigeratte smell or what ever the hell they are cooking either way I spend as least amount of time as I can in my apartment. I have complained many times and they do nothing!!! I worked as a assistant manager at a extend stay hotel we took better care of our guest there then here never meet such uncaring staff!

Roaches... The building I rented an apartment in is very old. Unfortunately, the apartments are not sealed well. Even if you are extremely clean like my wife and I, expect to see large American cockroaches on a regular basis. I took the time and money to caulk my entire apartment along the baseboards, and this helped the issue SIGNIFICANTLY, supporting my idea that the buildings themselves are cockroach infested, and the only way to keep the roaches from entering your apartment is by sealing it. We also found 2 earwigs while living in the apartment for 12 months. Management, at best, will offer to send Orkin out (usually when you are not home). This is not very effective, because like I said, the issue lies in the infrastructure of the buildings and lack of sealant/caulk. Killing 10 of these roaches won't matter, the only way to keep them out permanently is to seal your apartment, which Stuart Woods will not spend the money to do (even though they just spent money to buy new signs and repaint the leasing office). Overall, I'd say it is not worth the money. $1350 a month for a 1 bedroom in a roach infested building just not worth it to me. My stay here was decent, but only after I caulked my place. Recently talked to neighbors who have the same issues with roaches.
