Resident Reviews

We had the nicest time at the Day of the Dead party this year. The food and drinks were fantastic and we had a great time with others that live in the building. A truly nice time.

J Sol is a great location in the Ballston neighborhood. Easily walkable to all the great places to eat-plus there’s also a lot of retail shopping nearby. Quincy park is right across the street with tennis/basketball courts and fields as well!

Great building, location and staff. Happy to live here. Views to DC from the gym and rooftop deck are outstanding. Excellent amenities for fun too.

Aug 21, 2022

Overall it's been great. 2 Biggest complaints are the elevators being out all the time, and the lack of a 45lb barbell in the weight room ( the current one is 15kg which is like 33lbs and makes working out awkward).

Aug 10, 2022

Very happy living here. Have enjoyed the pool and rooftop this summer. I would like to cite, as well, the professionalism and helpfulness of the concierge desk staff. I also like that they are always well and seriously dressed.

Jul 31, 2022

Nice time living here, although sometimes the specific rules on amenities are overbearing and the times we can use them aren’t super convenient, esp on weekends

Jun 20, 2022

Lovely place to live: the maintenance staff keep all the shared spaces clean, attractive, and functioning; the concierge staff recognize residents and are always friendly, professional, and helpful; the leasing and management staff are welcoming and knowledgeable.

They are quick to respond to questions and are very helpful. We also appreciated the Japanese translation, which was very helpful for those of us who are not good at English.

Jan 25, 2022

Very new and clean building with friendly staff. Conveniently close to metro and Ballston mall. Fitness center has good equipment and rooftop pool is nice for the summer months.

Jan 4, 2022

I love living in J Sol. I’ve been here for 6 months with no complaints thus far! The leasing office does a great job of hosting events for residents.

Nov 19, 2021

Love J-Sol, amenities, staff, the nice apt, all of it! Best apartment that I have ever lived in and it's not even close. Going to be sad when I have to move out.

Nov 16, 2021

Love JSOL and I love my apartment. I haven't had any complaints and everyone who lives in the building is really nice. I like being the first one who lives in my apartment and I love the modern look JSOL provides all apartments.

Oct 14, 2021

So far great place to live! Staff is very friendly and helpful, amenities are awesome, building is always kept clean. You can her anything from other apartments. Haven't had any issues so far.

Oct 12, 2021

Jsol has been an amazing experience so far. The staff is phenomenal and very friendly. The best part about the place is the view on the rooftop.

Oct 5, 2021

The building is beautiful and the residents and concierge are very friendly. The amenities are amazing and all appliances in the apartments are modern and up to date.

Oct 3, 2021

Love this community! The leading staff made our entire process very smooth , the amenities are wonderful, the views are brilliant ! Would hope for the lounge area to be open 24 hours tho!

Sep 30, 2021

The complex is great, and the staff are very helpful. Outside of a few miscommunications, it has been a very pleasant experience living at J Sol.

Sep 29, 2021

Everyone is so kind, but amenities should stay open longer and there should be more community events that are offered to residents. Would be great to meet people and have more community building.

Sep 29, 2021

Pretty good sometimes a little frustrating when things done work - parking sensor for instance. But otherwise very nice place to live. Everyone is nice

Sep 28, 2021

Very modern and clean building. The walls and windows are sound-proofed quite well against noise from neighbors and traffic. Staff are friendly and helpful. The gym is large and well-equipped, and the pool is usually available during the summer.

Sep 26, 2021

Love the hub! Wish the pool was open a little longer though. I also wish the fobs in the elevator worked better they are hard to use. Other than that great!

Sep 26, 2021

Very friendly staff. Upkeep and cleanliness are strong. The package and mail system is good. Fast elevators. Only qualm is the cost to reserve amenities is much too high.

Sep 26, 2021

New amenities, modern design, and all tastefully done. Solid construction of the building reduces almost all sound from neighboring units and noise outside.

Sep 26, 2021

Location is great. Lots of local bars and restaurants nearby. The concierges are always welcoming and friendly. Amenities cover just about everything one would want in an apt.

Sep 21, 2021

The apartment is clean and nice finishes. The pool is very pretty. People are great, and so is the area. There is just one trash chute that doesn’t work often :/

Aug 30, 2021

amenities are good, parking is good, neighborhood is good, enjoy the apartment for the most part, good area, arlington nice enjoy living, very good, yes

Aug 14, 2021

The JSOL property is beautiful. The location is perfect. I love my apartment’s view from the balcony. The sense of community is awesome and the social events each month are fun & engaging. The Staff is responsive in a timely manner and very friendly as they continue to help facilitate and foster resident friendships, and meaningful communication which makes you feel right at home.

Aug 7, 2021

Great apartment residence and staff. Best location. However, the trash shoot needs fixed since it jams every weekend. Pool and gym are nice. Great outdoor area upstairs with nice views.

Jul 29, 2021

Great experience so far! No issues with the practically brand new apt. The only suggestion I would have is to create a designated space for residents to drop off their outgoing packages instead of handing to the front desk.

Jul 26, 2021

Great building, great location and great staff. Neighbors can come and go but the staff really sets the building atmosphere. As a lawyer for many landlords in the area, I can affirm that this is a GREAT staff from the door people to maintenance staff and the rental/admin staff. All are personable and want residents to enjoy the place where we live. Really can't say enough positive about the living experience.

Jul 19, 2021

I love living here! No complaints! The only thing that would be nice is if there were tools to clean up the dog spa after you finish use so that it’s ready for the next person

Jul 12, 2021

I like the community. Everyone is friendly. I like the gym. It has all the work out equipment I require. I’d like to have my social interactions with fellow residents

Jun 29, 2021

The building is modern, clean, brand new. I love the design of the building and apartment finishes. The staff is incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming! I love that the gym has a view of DC!

Jun 29, 2021

My experience since I have moved in has been excellent. The unit meets all of my criteria with no issues and the amenity spaces are spectacular.

Jun 20, 2021

Love it here! Have had such a great time so far, the amenities are wonderful, and the staff has been so nice. Really happy to have moved here

Jun 17, 2021

Loving it! We are so glad we picked JSOL! The amenities are great and always available for us to use. The concierge desk is always kind and friendly as well.

Jun 15, 2021

So far I have enjoyed my experience at J Sol. I love the community and the amenities. I love being able to relax on the rooftop, get a nice workout in at the gym, and having a 24-hour receptionist to help with any immediate needs. I do wish that the rules/guidelines regarding guests would loosen up, as many people like to live in a building like this to host guests and utilize the space. Other than that, I do not have any complaints and would definitely recommend!

Jun 15, 2021

The concierge is great! They’re always very friendly. The location is convenient for the metro and near various restaurants and bars. I would highly recommend this to my friends.

Jun 11, 2021

The amenities and staff are great! I feel super at home and am happy to be a part of the community . I also love that the staff works hard to plan events for the community

Jun 11, 2021

Great gym, great roof, great staff! I am happy with my decision to live at JSol. It is refreshing to wake up in the morning to the sunrise and go to the roof to catch the sunset. The staff, maintenance crew, and all amenities make JSol a very welcoming place to be.

Jun 6, 2021

Moving is was super easy, place is beautiful. Love the amenities, first time I’ve actually felt like they were worth it. Can’t wait to use the pool!

Jun 4, 2021

JSOL is fantastic and I am happy to be here! I only moved in a couple of days ago but the front desk employees are great and the maintenance worker came immediately. The apartment is great as well!

Jun 4, 2021

Everyone on the leasing office was beyond helpful for a great move in. As well as everyone who works at the front desk being so kind during my move in period.

Jun 4, 2021

The amenities are amazing. Everything is new and top of the line. I also enjoy how they are laid out. Having the pool and the roof deck on separate sides of building was really thought out.

Jun 4, 2021

The building is easily the nicest I've ever been in. The amenities are absolutely beautiful, especially the gym. Also it is located right next to Quincy Park which is amazing.

Jun 3, 2021

This place has been amazing. Living here almost 8 months already and it definitely feels like home. The building is great, amenities are awesome. Hope thy open the pool soon, and their safety COVID precautions are great, reservations for the gym, everything is well organized until we come back to normal. Thanks for such great experience.

May 15, 2021

This apartment is good and nice and clean. Amenities are good and fun and love them. Review things about community great so good enjoy happy yes

May 7, 2021

Beautiful apartment building with a very clean and friendly environment. Amazing amenities, waiting for them all to be available to guests and visitors. Happy to have chosen this apartment

May 6, 2021

The staff is extremely polite and friendly. Always willing to help and have a smile on their face. The building is always clean which makes it a pleasant place to live here.

May 1, 2021

Great views from gym and amenity areas. Brand new apartments! Well appointed gym . Friendly evening and night Concierges. Close to the metro

Apr 29, 2021

I've been living here for almost a month and I like the building, the friendly concierge people who greet me every time. I also like that it's quiet during working hours because I work from home.

Apr 18, 2021

The building is beautiful and every one who works here has been very helpful. There are a few things that are irritating - the key fobs are weak, the trash chutes are always blocked and not working, and the counter tops are porous. Cabinet space also isn’t fabulous. Otherwise it’s a very nice building and living here has been great.

Apr 12, 2021

The building is located in the perfect location within walking distance to restaurants and the metro. The amenities are all very nice and I cannot wait for the pool to open. The staff is so attentive and very customer service oriented.

Apr 10, 2021

Great home environment. Excellent amenities and staff are super helpful, professional, and pleasant. Management provides strong and proactive communication.

Apr 10, 2021

We are so happy here, the staff is incredible. We searched hi and low for the right place and we have found it for sure. The area is perfect for waking and my dog is very happy with the areas for her to play and use the bathroom.

Apr 10, 2021

The customer service, including the maintenance staff is responsive and friendly. Most people I've encountered in the building are upbeat and friendly. The building has great space for residents to encounter each other.

Apr 9, 2021

I'm having a hard time getting in touch with the leasing office. I've sent emails, left voicemails, and used the ActiveBuilding messaging. I wanted clarification on how my rent was calculated. Otherwise, going OK.

Apr 9, 2021

The trash chutes are often times out of service but other than that it has been great!The staff is very friendly, and the amenities are top notch,

Apr 9, 2021

The amenities in the building are great, I have had some difficulties with the leasing office every once in a while. Sometimes my neighbor is a little too noisy those dogs

Apr 9, 2021

J Sol is an amazing community. The location, building amenities, and apartments are fantastic. I am looking forward to the rooftop opening soon!

Apr 9, 2021

Wonderful building, clean halls, fantastic appliances. One drawback is the trash chute system needs improvements. Also would be amazing to have the rooftop and pool open in April!

Apr 6, 2021

Love the J Sol community. Shout out to Patrick at the front desk for being so wonderful. Beautiful building and a lovely place to call home.

Apr 1, 2021

Leasing office has been great and helpful, the events have been cool and can’t wait to get in that pool! Thanks for making it feel like home

Mar 22, 2021

Management is responsive and really tries to find resident activities even during COVID. The noise level still leaves something to be desired (still have no idea what sounds like a whale wailing all the time around midnight/1am), but overall this apartment was worth it!

Mar 6, 2021

Everyone is incredibly friendly. Management is responsive. Concierges are welcoming. I really enjoy living in this apartment building, and I look forward to the warmer days when I will be able to experience some of the outdoor amenities.

Mar 5, 2021

The first few days in the apartment started slow but things have improved since then. Looking forward to the amenity spaces opening hopefully soon.

Feb 4, 2021

Wonderful amenities and customer service.

Feb 3, 2021

Great experience so far, the leasing staff is more than accommodating. The building is beautiful and clean! We are looking forward to the pool and amenity space on the top floors to be open.

Jan 19, 2021

Front desk people are kind and easygoing . The flooring is made of concrete so, it helps to the noise not go through to the apartment below. Kitchen shelves are mostly easy to clean but easy to get dirty too if you choose in white

Jan 10, 2021

Beautiful brand new apartment building in Ballston with great move in specials. Apartments are stylish and modern. A few growing pains though as expected with a new building. Beautiful amenities that are under constructions but should hopefully be done soon.

Jan 6, 2021

We moved in almost 2 months ago now and have loved this apartment since! First and foremost, the staff are extremely friendly and go above and beyond! We’ve had good experience with maintenance, package pick up, and the amenity spaces. Would highly recommend.

Jan 6, 2021

We are very happy with the JSOL so far. The staff have been very friendly. The period of growing pains is over in adjusting to a new building for the residents and staff alike. Only concern is a bit of noise from the Kohler units, even when the windows are closed. Looking forward to the spring when we can use the pool.

Jan 1, 2021

Very happy so far, especially with attentive and kind staff that has been very respectful of covid precautions. Portal is easy to use as well, after some of the initial problems were resolved.

Dec 29, 2020

It's amazing! The building has everything I need. It has a nice service, good amenities, a nice view. I feel very comfortable being here. I love it!

Dec 15, 2020

My experience here has been absolutely wonderful! From the management team being extremely helpful and completely transparent to the move-in process being a breeze, this complex has been a pleasure to live in so far. Also, the concierge desk is always super friendly, which is nice when heading out in the morning or getting back at night.

Dec 11, 2020

A+ So far. Very helpful staff during move in. No complaints so far regarding the living situation. Happy with all the information given regarding apartment set up.

Dec 7, 2020

So far it has been amazing! Everyone has been so responsive and the place is amazing. The amentities are incredible. And I love that it is new!

Dec 5, 2020

The leasing agent were extremely helpful during the leasing and move in process. The concierge is very nice and always greets you with a smile.

Nov 27, 2020

The building is pristine and the staff is great! Everyone is very welcoming and helpful. You can’t beat the location as it is close to two metro stops and many restaurants and bars!

Nov 27, 2020

The concierge team has been amazing through all this construction and everyone moving in at the same time (in addition to covid-19). The leasing team has also been responsive although it seems like they've been bombarded with people who want to tour and sign leases.

Nov 26, 2020

Marcel and I absolutely love living here and so does our dog! It’s brand new and has beautiful features, love the chevron backsplash tile in the kitchen. Can’t wait for the pool and gym to be finished, beautiful view from the amenities lounge on the top floor. Seriously couldn’t be happier here.

Nov 13, 2020

Amazing experience so far. We love our new apartment, staff is very friendly, and our moving in went so smooth due to the help provided by the staff. Complex is great, neighbors are awesome! We love it!

Nov 3, 2020

Excellent customer service. Nice and clean building. Welcome surprises first day was actually really nice. Also the workers are very polite.

Nov 2, 2020

Beautiful building and apartments. Friendly, helpful staff and the fastest elevator in town! Will be spectacular when the amenities are completed (hopefully very soon)

Oct 27, 2020

New building so there are kinks being worked out, but I see great potential as long as customer service and kind staff-resident interactions are a priority.

Oct 27, 2020

So far everything has been great! The concierge and leasing staff are fantastic. Super friendly and helpful. My apartment is beautiful and I’m very happy I chose J Sol
