South Pointe Apartments

Maintenance doesn’t fix anything! My sink been clogged since the beginning of 2025 & weeks called multiple times just for him to plunge the sink ( we could’ve did that ourselves). They also don’t fix the mice issues all they do is put down mouse traps, we have mice coming out of vents!!! YES COMES OUT OF OUR VENTS

I'm new to the apartment community, however, I know this area of the DMV very well. I hope my review (from a local's perspective) can help others struggling to find an affordable and safe home in the DMV area.

I've observed this community over decades, and it has always been quiet and well maintained even when the neighborhood was at it's worst. First off don't judge the book by the cover. SE DC is well on its way to gentrification. This little spot is one of the last places you can get... an apartment at a reasonable price. Yes, you give up a little on safety and quiet but what do you expect you are living in a lively city. If you need new everything then maybe vintage buildings are not for you. I grew up in a house built in the 30's and I think of this type of brick walkup style apartments as "Boutique Apartments " Considering that these are 1949 apartments ole girl is holding up well. If you want amenities like a dishwasher or in unit W/D, remember that this place more than makes up for it by having several laundry areas throughout the community, easy access to public transportation and location and savings.

Management has done a great job maintaining the buildings and landscaping. Maintenance keeps the buildings and property free from trash. They even tidy up and organize the dumpster when people drop off their trash. This apartment is located less than a mile between 3 metro stations. Naylor Road metro is a 25min walk; Southern Avenue Metro is a 15-20min walk and Congress Heights is a 30 min walk. Not bad if you work in DC.

They have a lot of renovated apartments make sure to specify that. They have done a terrific job at restoring my apartment. Stainless steel appliances, Granit and cherry cabinets throughout. Huge windows and new mini blinds. New carpet and nice laminate wood style flooring. (It actually has the same inside that my previous 2021 built apartment had.) So, I felt totally at home from day one. I've seen no dead roaches or evidence of it. I'm a very clean person and I would consider that unacceptable. Staff is nice and I believe if I had an issue, they would be on top of it.

As far as safety, be aware that you live directly across from DC and are in PG county so with that in mind don't go exploring the area after dark, mind your business, keep/get off your phone in pocket and head up on a swivel. BUT you should be doing that no matter where you live. Read More

If I could give 0 stars I would ! I’m a first time renter, so I was excited when I found this place. But a week before our move-in day we did a walk-through and the place looks nothing like the pictures. The only thing that was new in the apartment was the carpet. The refrigerator was old & had grease splash all over it and there was a baby roach on top of it . When we looked in the cabinets you could tell there were mice because there were mice droppings. The kitchen is very much small when I... saw the oven I thought it was a kid play oven. And the straw that broke the camels back was there was a mold and water damage in the kitchen. We asked her was maintenance gonna come and fix it. She told us that maintenance will come and paint over it. I said so they’re not gonna take the mold out she responded saying I’m not a contractor, so I don’t know. Overall, these apartments are very old and they need some update from the light fixture to the bathroom floor to the carpet. Honestly, the only thing I liked about apartment is that the walls were made of metal so you couldn’t hear your neighbors and your neighbors couldn’t hear you. Read More

I moved here 2020, looked like someone had recently vacated, so it looks like my apartment is stuck in 70's nothing updated, had to patch up a few holes to keep mice out. Never really needed maintenance tho they will paint over stuff and say it's fixed. Overall not a bad place from my perspective

I have pics and proof of what I'm saying ?? from 3 current tenants. Praying to MOVE them ASAP!! Please don't let a Senior Citizen move there bc they'll take ADVANTAGE. DON'T CARE@ nothing but, MONEY. Elderly can't /don't use Smart phone but, installed a laundry system that you have to use phone. Don't think of the Elderly tenants who been there long and don't hv the help. You have to pay rent @ Ace Check Cashing and it cost $3 and you must have ALL CASH!! If don't, they charge you $7.95 to use... your Debit card. They want your bank info to directly deposit rent. PLEASE KEEP ALL RECEIPTS & PAPERWORK. You'll need TRUST ME. Office staff don't want to work so, they'll go by the 1st thing they see rather than investigate. Unprofessional and RUDE!! I know many who've moved and several waiting to move. The complex has changed Management like 3 times in 2 yrs. They only have 2 maintenance guys that's been w/them throughout all this change. Well 1 bc the Boss don't work(other than wash his cars) w/the Water we pay for. Poor "L" & the others was fired or QUIT. There is a BIG MOLD and LEAK and infestation issue. My family has had mold in their unit for 3-4 yrs now. They spray w/Bleach rather than cut it out. Their ceiling have fell in due to roof leaks (still leaks to this day when it rains). The entire wall leaks from bedroom to the Living room when rain. So, it's a matter of time before it caves in again. Hopefully they won't be sleeping. It's no Security on site bc kids from SE come to smoke in halls(laundry rooms). Alot of Illegal dogs on site Pits (no poop/scoop here) bc management unaware due to Lack of Work from them. Read More
