    Hi Sriha,
    Apartmentratings.com has the best reviews on apartments etc. Unfortunately, i have no idea about indians in Alexandria. I live in arlington and i am yet to meet some indian community around here too... i have been trying thru IL, but just met one or two people..
    I can suggest some good apartments in Arlington,but i dont know any indian community :(
    Hope this helps

    Hi Sriha,
    If thats the case, heres my two cents. I did extensive searching on apartments as i was moving into a new one soon.Arlington has the best bus service and transportation to reach anywhere nearby. They have decent bus service, better than herndon reston. So, that way, i dont have to depend on my husband to take me anywhere - i can travel on my own. Ballston, Courthouse MEtro etc - which were close to the metro stations, the apartments are very pricey. So, its better to stay away from a metro and at a place where you can reach the metro by bus. This is for ppl who work in DC and take metro to work.
    There is a big road called columbia pike in arlington which has around 25-30 apts. I researched all their reviews there and i finalized on 3-5 which were good.
    1. Wildwood park - Really good apt - good ratings, decent price -i cudnt get availability then , you could check out now
    2. Wildwood towers - Its the same Dittmar company's again -very nice. One of my frnd lives there for 4 yrs and has had no problem at all.
    3. There are some mid rise apartments or garden kind - they are generally not great - due to security etc.
    There were some in fairfax which were really good too, but then transportaiton in fairfax is very tough by bus -is my opinion.
    I dont drive and i find arlington the best , coz i dont need to depend on anyone to go to grocery, target and macy's etc :D
    You can get the apartment search book at a bus stop - its easier to look at them, coz they have atable of all aprts with rent and facilities, its easy to pick ones which fit your budget and needs. i definitely recommend doing that.
    Hope this helps.:idea
    Please send me a PM message and i could give you more info

    :cheers
    Divya

    You can look out for Landmark terrace, MillBrook at Markcenter , infact there are a whole bunch in the Markcenter area according to your demands. Google for apartments at Markcenter , alexandria VA.

    these are some I know of in Alexandria. Hope this helps.

    Most of the above apartments include many amenities like water, gas and also some provide shuttle services to the near by metro station.
