    I have lived here for over a year and it's really hard to beat the location, square footage, and price in the area. Just a 10 minute walk to either the Navy Yard or the Wharf, but not paying the price to live in those areas. I have never had an issue with maintenance, staff, or the amenities. The gym is the only disappointment, but I have friends' gyms I can go use. Happily plan on renewing my lease.

    Valo really puts people first. Exceptional experience. The staff is excellent, amenities are wonderful, and the location is perfect. I love my home.

    I have lived here for about 7 months and have enjoyed the apartment overall. The amenities are nice and kept clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location of the apartment complex is convenient. The noise from the train can be startling at times and the walls seem to be a little thin so can be a little noisy.

    I was 2 years in the shelter system. When I walked into Parkwest and met Angela, she greeted me with a smile. She never made me feel like I was less than. I really appreciate her patience and understanding. Thank You Ms. Angela for everything, You helped me a lot.
