Contempo Nova

Nice apartment some lf the appliances and things around the building needs to be upgraded/renovated. Nice staff that works in the leasing office as well as quick and responsive maintenance team. Good parking set up as well.

New Resident

I have yet to experience the amenities as a new resident. The Leasing Office has been very kind and approachable thus far. The apartment was relatively clean with a few maintenance issues before moving in. However, there was a pile of various junk mail found crammed in the back of the drawers from over 10 years ago with multiple mailing addresses. Looking forward to the new move.

Contempo NOVA Review

I have lived in the Contempo NOVA apartment complex since the beginning of September, 2023. I really like it here due to the clean space and the community that the apartment complex has created. I would strongly recommend that anyone looking in the Alexandria area for an apartment, look at Contempo NOVA.
