Carlyle Mill Apartments offers a charming, unique, and welcoming residential experience in Old Town Alexandria with a design that evokes an old mill setting. The complex is fairly old with expected wear and tear, but the apartments themselves are nice, extremely spacious, and reasonably priced. It is a pet-friendly and smoke-free community within walking distance of the metro, King Street, tons of restaurants, shopping, and multiple fitness centers. The staff are amazing, incredibly helpful, pleasant, kind, well-organized, and knowledgeable. They are ready and willing to help with any needs, and interactions with them are a big reason residents choose the community. The maintenance staff are also awesome, responsive, and on time, addressing service requests promptly and without issue. Some residents note that the fire alarm goes off frequently. Overall, however, it is considered a solid, quiet, and very walkable place to live, providing an excellent experience with a great location.
Community is very nice! I really like the ammenities. Apts are spacious with stainless steel appliances. And the leasing agents are very knowledgable and very very nice! Great experience so far!
