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.
