The EastView at Ballston Metro - Shabby, Not Chique
December 10th, 2007 Categories: Arlington, Condo Communities, Keller Williams
The recent rental conversion to condominium, EastView (and WestView) at Ballston Metro, should’ve been left as an apartment building. There was a handle missing on the front foyer door, the Sales people were nowhere to be found and I haven’t started talking about the actual unit yet! When my client and I finally found the sales girl, she showed us 1 2 bed, 2 bath unit and that was all it took for me to turn on my heels and get out of there!! The conversion was not done well! Immediately upon walking in, you’re faced with a large, thick wall separating the living room from one of the bedrooms - not the most warming entrance to your home. Their marketing scheme is great; their advertisements make the EastView look like the place you want to live, however, I would MUCH rather live across the street at the Berkeley Condominium.

I would have to respectfully disagree. I purchased back in 2007 after looking at every condo building in the area. EastView was the best combination of price and style. The Berkeley next door is a very nice building on the outside but they have been plagued with leak issues and rising condo fees. From what I have read from other, less biased sources, EastView has had better sales over the first quarter of 2008 than any other building as well as a more stable budget (we haven’t had our condo fee raised in a couple of years). With the Berkeley costing $20,000 - $30,000 more per unit, I don’t even see how this can be a comparison.
