The staff at 1401 Joyce are wonderful. They know my children and dog's name and welcome them each time. The building is extremely dog friendly and was not afraid to have a German Shepard mix like Oakwood. The gym is fantastic and the party room/bbq area overlooks the skyline of DC. It is beautiful.The neighborhood is great for walking around and there is so much to do here. Pentagon Row shops/restaurants, Fashion Place Mall, and one of the best Arlington County Parks located right across the street. It has 2 parks, spray park, sand volleyball court, basketball and tennis courts, 2 soccer fields as well as nice paths to walk.
I would live here again without any hesitation. The apartments are well kept, large, and the furniture is great.
