Do Not Rent here. I know the grounds look nice, but that's where nice stops. The apartments are low grade with cheap, old appliances, cabinetry and countertops. My kitchen sink wasn't even set properly, leaving a gap between the sink and the counter. They install the cheapest carpet on the market, and they will charge you to replace it when you vacate. Washer, dryer and microwave are not included in your rent.

It is not a quiet apartment complex. Depending on what building you are in you will... hear noise from University Drive and the car dealerships who have voice alarms going off beginning at 10 pm and ending at 4:15 pm. There is new construction on the property, so there is also noise from equipment.

The windows and exterior doors are inadequate, so dirt, dust and other debris wafts through into the apartments.

The leasing office continues to break their own pet policy by leasing to people with dogs over 45 lbs and giving them apartments above the first floor. The flooring does nothing to buffer the sound, so if you're looking for peace and quiet, you aren't going to get it at Walden at Providence.

Truly, this place is a dump. Do yourself a favor and rent someplace else. There are too many options for you to live here. Read More

This is the worst moving experience we've ever had. We moved in yesterday after a huge debacle about the move in dates being messed up. We had been living from hotel to hotel until we could get into the place and I finally got someone to help us get in two days early. Now I'm sitting here with my two kids in an apartment with no air conditioning (they did bring us small portable ones), light fixtures hanging from the ceiling, the closet with the AC and water heater is filled with mold and hair,... there is a nasty old hair tie wrapped around one of the shower heads filled with hair, the ceiling is yellow and dirty with a bunch of spiders all over it, and one of the boards on the playground was upturned with screws sticking out. I could honestly go on. We were so excited to get started here but this is one of the biggest disappointments of my adult life.
Edit: Day 4 of being here and just got our AC on for the first time. Tried to wash our clothes and the dryer doesn't work, HVAC still has the mold and hair in it, the breezeway was infested with spiders and I had to kill them myself with bleach because they kept getting into our apartment, and just noticed that our dishwasher has mold and mildew along with dead bugs. It smells terrible. We were spending just a couple hundred dollars more for a beautiful condo in Northern Virginia and I cannot believe the condition of this place for the price. Read More

The apartment is in a great location. However, 9/10 times the call box at the gate will not work for guests trying to get in. Also, they will tell you they will email you when you are approaching your 60 days from lease expiration to remind you to give notice but they do NOT. I left a voicemail and sent an email to inquire about the move out procedures and didn’t even get a call back. The burden is definitely on you and they will not act like they care when you finally do reach the office!

I have lived at Walden at Providence for a couple of years now. I can't say enough wonderful things about the entire team. There is a new manager and she is top notch!! She is very professional, attentive, and makes the residents priorities. It is nice to feel appreciated by the team, Maintenance is always quick to respond, the prices are the best in the area, and the community is very quiet!!
