The Mark at Arlington

The reviews about parking is no joke and not people being dramatic. Plan on leaving after 10pm to go out for the night? Good luck finding a spot when you get back, there will be car vultures waiting for an open spot. I look out the parking lot at night and not a single spot is open. Waking up in the morning you will see several cars parked in fire lanes. I've been documenting this and hanging onto to this hoping this is resolved before getting Fire Marshalls and all involved as its a serious concern. Have a safe controlled overflow lot, reduce the covered parking spots, so residents don't have to make up parking spots or walk across a street with no crosswalk to get home, which isn't even officially related to the apartment complex its a Dave and Busters parking lot.... The staff is amazing, shoutout to the maintenance team for being so good, the place is beautiful, the apartment itself no complaints I love it, but the parking situation is ridiculous. This would've easily been a 5 star review if there wasn't such a huge issue.

Parking has become a serious and unacceptable issue at The Mark at Arlington. There is effectively zero parking available for residents. Even the guest parking that was added is filled daily, leaving residents with nowhere to park. This problem began once residents realized the property no longer tows. I personally called the tow company to have a non EV vehicle removed from an EV only spot so I can charge my car, as the leasing office instructed me to do, only to be told that The Mark’s towing account is currently on hold. How is this acceptable? The situation has now escalated to residents parking everywhere, including fire lanes, which is a major safety concern. On top of that, many resident spaces are filled with vehicles that do not even have permits. If permits are not enforced, what is their purpose? Because of this, I am now forced to park at the Highlands and cross a busy street with my family just to get home. It was never this congested before. This overflow is clearly the result of no enforcement. I understand towing is unpopular, but what is worse is residents being unable to park at their own complex. Management needs to address this immediately through proper enforcement

Pros: The amenities are great especially the gym. I cancelled my gym membership because this gym is amazing! Theres’s fun resident events like painting nights and sound baths. The staff is friendly and always has cookies in the office and dog treats if you have a dog . There’s cute ducks that swim in the pond and they’ll come up to you sometimes. Cons: The fire alarm was going off almost every week for a few months and it’s multiple times a night/day when it goes off. One night it went off 14 times. A few days later it went off at 6am. We don’t even evacuate anymore because there’s never a real fire which is a safety concern if there ever is a real fire. The boy who cried wolf. BUT it’s been Abi it a month since they went off so maybe they fixed it? Twice the electricity in the entire community turned off for a few hours. The front door isn’t sealed well so it lets in cold air through the crack. They say there’s recycling but he puts all the trash in the same bin. (If you look in the recycling bin it’s filled with trash bags which the recycling facility will throw out)
