The management staff is very professional. They listen politely and try to provide resolution to issue(s) at hand. Overall, I am satisfied with my interaction with the staff.

The Blake has beautiful apartments with nice layouts and updated appliances. Overall, I have enjoyed living at the Blake.

I’ve had a really disappointing experience with the office staff here. They’re rude, unhelpful, and act like every simple question is a huge inconvenience. If you need any assistance as a resident, don’t expect much—they either ignore your concerns or give you attitude. Even getting basic information feels like pulling teeth. It’s frustrating dealing with people who seem to have no interest in actually helping the community. Definitely not the kind of service you’d expect from an office that’s... supposed to support its residents. Read More

I am so impressed with everything about this community, most importantly the management and staff. They are kind, responsive, knowlegeable, helpful, hardworking, and committed to highest quality standards. The grounds are impeccably maintained and the buildings are well constructed and maintained. The lcoation is great , I highly recommend the Blake Alexandria for your next apartment home

The amenities are great and the staff is good. They need some help though as it seems that they are drowning and are relatively hard to get ahold of.

Packages are routinely placed in the package room without being scanned. When this happens we have to get a code from the office. Routinely they are not available due to touring or dealing with other residents and emailing yields little results.

Upon move in we reserved the Dock and a Freight elevator but we got neither due to "incoming... residents running over on their reservations". This made our move in experience horrible and some of our furniture got rained on as a storm rolled in while we were moving our things from the back parking lot to the unreserved elevators. We should have been notified of this prior to arriving for our reservation but that did not happen.

I drive an electric vehicle and more often than not, the pay to charge spots are taken up by gas vehicles that have no business being there. The spots are clearly marked "EV ONLY" but the residents don't seem to care as there are no repercussions to taking these spots from residents whom can actually utilize them. (You are losing money here).

Currently we do not have a parking pass and I was told that none are available We were given a temporary pass that has to be renewed every two weeks. To do this you have to go to the leasing office and speak with a leasing agent and they are routinely unavailable (see above comments).

The "valet trash" service is nice but residents seem to leave trash out over the full weekend in our hallway even though there is not a pickup until late Sunday evening. This causes the hallways to stink throughout the weekend. Residents also fail to utilize the provided bins leading to seepage of garbage liquids into the hallway carpet. In the document I received outlining the service, it specified that you would be fined for this but there are again no repercussions.

It is also worth noting that we were given a single mail key when the lease specified that we would receive two.. Read More
