Post Carlyle Square

John Gentile

I've spent the past year living here and highly recommend Post Carlyle for anyone looking to live in Old Town. The apartments are modern and clean, and the staff is friendly and prompt. The location is very walkable to either King St or Eisenhower areas, and the Whole Foods nearby makes using a car very rare for me. This apartment- and Old Town in general- is very dog friendly and there is lots of green space to walk nearby. Pricing is on the higher end, but to me its fair given the location, quality and amenities.

Lovely brick apartment buildings, most convenient location to subway, couple blocks to Whole Foods and CVS, minutes to Old Town, with lots of trees and well manicured grounds. Most walkable, bicycle-friendly as well as pets welcome. Plenty of natural light shines through huge windows over 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide, apartments with either hardwood floors or carpet, many apartments have brand new GE stainless steel appliances, very large bathrooms with granite sinks, granite countertops in kitchen and kitchen island. Stand alone washer and dryer in each apartment, large bedrooms. Very warm, cozy, comfortable. Friendly tenants. At the cross-section of many vibrant neighborhoods, shopping, dining, and nightlife are all a short walk away. Excellent and prompt property management is only a phone call away. Outstanding apartments, highly recommend.

We rent a 3BR on a short-term lease. We received our renewal offer two months after we moved in, and they want $1,000 more per month. The apartment is just OK—not great, not terrible, with several maintenance requests needed in a short time. But this management company will Hoover every dollar out of your pockets they can. Not recommended.

To preface this view, I lived at Post Carlyle Square for 2 years in two different buildings. For the most part this property is great, and I enjoyed living here. Pros/Cons below, I will be omitting the price from the con list, because while high it’s at this point market value: Pros: - Beautiful buildings, great landscaping. The two courtyards are generally quiet and the fire pits are such a great feature. Very relaxing, especially at night. - The units themselves are well maintained, and maintenance is pretty receptive. I never had any long-standing issues that wouldn’t get resolved. - The pools are nice, even if ones been shut down the whole pandemic. - The location is unbeatable. The Carlyle neighborhood is quiet (especially on weekends) and is so close to Old Town. Plus two nearby metro stations and an Amtrak/VRE station make it a great choice for commuters. - The lease is in the landlords favor, but everything is also pretty well spelled out for you. Ask questions during the leasing process. - I generally always had good neighbors, and the complex in general is very pleasant and peaceful. All different types of people live here, there’s no one age group or demographic that dominates I’d say. Cons: - While unit maintenance was always good, it felt like property maintenance went downhill after the pandemic started. For the most part the complex is fine, but a broken gate gets old to look at when it’s been broken for two years. How hard is it to install a new handle?? - If you live on the first or second floor there’ll be some street noise, and it is close to the jail, so occasionally you’ll see weirdos walking around. - Hallway noise was absolutely terrible. Everyone who lives here is required to have a noisy dog that whines whenever the owner leaves. It’s like a rule or something. - During the pandemic package management started to get a bit crazy. We’re talking big piles of packages inside the main gate every day. Luckily people don’t generally steal, I never lost any. - The leasing staff is in general ok, there’s turnover unfortunately but that’s to be expected, and if you’re patient then they’ll be patient in turn. I always was able to get issues resolved.
