I have been a tenant at Carlyn Hill Apartments for many years. Before there was assigned parking, due to the surrounding office buildings, I was unable to find a spot anywhere on the property. During office hours, visitors passes are issued and a tenant has volunteered to issue the passes while the office is closed and on the weekends. Maintenance is very fast with response time and fixing the problem. As far as the "electrical" fire last March, it was a malfunctioning microwave owned by the tenant. The tenant was home but not properly supervising the appliance when the fire started. I have had no problem with the Carlyn Hill Management team, they have done everything to make my stay here very enjoyable. The management team had been actively working with Fairfax County to clean up Spring Lane Park and remove the homeless people.

Wish I had read the reviews before moving in. Really bad management, recent electrical fire, your choice of old or poorly renovated units all with really cheap appliances, high turnover rate because everyone hates the apartment manager, bad parking situation, broken glass everywhere in the street and parking lot and homeless guys living in the park behind the place. There are much better apartments nearby for just a little more per month.
