Lived here about 18 months. Staff is amazing. Facility is quiet, clean and maintenance is excellent. The few times we have had to call maintenance they were here quickly and resolved the issue. Neighborhood is good, plenty of activities and dining, short walk to metro.

I have only great things to say about Vela. The Leasing Associates have made my transition one of the best experiences I’ve had with moving. The building and the location are excellent.

The Yards’ most anticipated contemporary residential building has arrived at the waterfront. All great things begin in light. Vela's Scandinavian design and elevated amenities bring calm, balance, and well-being into the place you can call home. Embracing lightness, beauty, and simplicity, this little peace of home embodies the vital qualities of warmth and comfort with wide views of possibility that reach in every direction. Now leasing one- and two- bedroom apartments, penthouses, and townhomes. We are committed to transparent pricing. All-in price includes base rent and required monthly fees based on default selections. Optional and usage-based fees are not included. Security deposit amounts may vary based on screening results. Prices, fees, and availability are subject to change and can vary based on the unit, lease term, and move-in date. Promotions may be conditional. Residents must maintain renters insurance with at least $100,000 in personal liability coverage. Failure to provide proof of coverage will result in automatic enrollment in the property’s master insurance policy at the applicable monthly rate. Residents are responsible for activating and maintaining all required utilities, some of which may be billed directly by the provider and others through the property. This summary does not include all potential charges. The lease and application govern all fees and terms. Contact the leasing office for the most current information.
To make things simple and clear, we've put together a list of fees you might encounter as a current or future resident. This way, you can easily see what your initial and monthly costs might be.
