Greystar

Its my sister that lives there, she gets along extremely well with Lisa and not so well with the woman thats been there the longest. i think shes having a good time, its expensive but way less expensive than the other ones that have food and stuff. Shes very happy with her unit. They don't have care services, but she had a dryer that went out the first time she used it, they were very prompt with fixing it. They have minor activities but as far as i know of, she doesnt do them. She hasn't complained about anything to me, but she hasnt really been there too long.

There was someone who was running the company who's communication is not on one on one. Things have now improved after having a few conversations. I have been invited personally to many things however, I have not had the change to get to things due to me still unpacking. They also do not have meals and dinning it is strictly independent living. My opinion is different from everyone else but I would advise to tour and judge on your own you have to see it for yourself.

This community was nice but it was too far away and that ruled out this location for us.

We were able to have an in person tour and it was a very nice place, a lot of nice amenities and the people we met with were friendly. However for the price, the living spaces were just to small.

Great place to live. Love the friendly atmosphere

It's a great community. It's costly, but I really like it here. There are lots of features included - garbage service, access to the community pool and gym, and the comfort and security of a fenced-in community. When I run across other residents, they're friendly and we greet one another. Sometimes there are groups that kind of section themselves off from the rest, but you tend to see that everywhere. I tend to stay active outside the community, but I always have, even before I moved here. They offer a lot of activities and always have something going on. They show movies, and the holiday barbecue I attended was great. Fort he most part, everyone is pretty friendly. And the staff have been great and very helpful.

I chose Overture Miller because they had the floor plans that I liked. You can rent a vacant apartment and try it out before you rent to see if it is a good fit. They were also doing in person tours and many were not at the time I was looking. The apartment sizes are excellent, I have a 2 bedroom 2 bath and it is plenty of room just for me. They have different floor plans available as well. They have events where they have food available, they have breakfast Monday - Friday but there are no prepared sit down meals. I did not get full disclosure about all move in expenses and they are pet friendly but have a hefty pet deposit, so make sure to ask questions up front about all expenses. I think it would be helpful if they had a move in instruction sheet because it take a while for me to figure things out on my own. It is a very upscale place and I would recommend them to others looking.

The community is beautiful and has a nice pool area. The apartments are well done, and the kitchens are nice.

I think they need to try and bring some more activities into the property. A lot of people are dissatisfied that they are missing something that they thought they would be getting. A lot of residents tend to get into their own groups which can be good for some people, and not so good for others. I do not think you get your bang for your buck here. If I knew today what I know now, I would have chosen a different community.

We chose this community because in comparison to the others we visited we liked how bright and light the apartments and common areas were. All of the apartments have either a balcony or patio with a view, which we really liked. My mom moved in right before COVID, so she hasn't had the opportunity to experiences the activities yet. She likes the food. The transition from home to a retirement community hasn't been easy, but she likes living at Overture now. They have an outdoor heated pool and adjacent to it is a picnic area with barbecue pits and tables to residents to use and enjoy.

I have lived here at Destinations Spring Valley for almost two years. I have met some very nice people, and made some great friends. The office staff ,maintenance and groundsman do a great job .Our new manager [name removed] has made some good changes here. [Name removed] our activity coordinator has been keeping us busy here with things to do at home. Thank you all. I am very happy here , and hope to renew my lease very soon.

New staff is outstanding takes sincere interest in our interests! The activities are always interesting and the try to involve everyone in all the activities! My only request is that they have recycling. Several people have moved out to other apartments and I was speaking to them and they realized they made a mistake. Nice facility, nice gym and well stocked library . Need to clean carpets!

I moved here about 11 months ago and I am happy. Like anywhere else it is not 100% perfect all of the time. But I have ran my own business for 52 years and this one is doing a great job. The Manager makes herself available if you need to talk and her team works very hard too. The place is clean, the office is open when it is supposed to be and we have lots to do if we want to take part. My home is prettier than anywhere I have ever lived before and I am proud to be here. I received my renewal letter today. I was happy to see that they aren't charging me an arm and leg if I want to stay. Some of my neighbors can be crotchety but it is 62 and older. On the plus side I don't live with college kids partying or listen to screaming babies all night long. So it is give and take. Bottom line is this is a good place. It isn't cheap but nothing in Fairfax County is cheap.

I have met the most friendly group of people here. it has been a happy move for me.

The staff here is excellent and I have a really nice apartment. I have a 1 bedroom and 1 ½ bath with a good sized laundry room. It’s very spacious and it has a full sized washer and dryer. Everyone here is very personable and warm. They do offer a lot of activities like exercise classes with yoga and tai chi, bridge club, and a book club. What I really like is everyone here is really relaxed. We even have a wine, cheese, and crackers night twice a month. The only complaint I have is the showers are a little too small and they have a shelf that I always hit my head on. I would recommend this community to other families.

My father-in-law did two tours here the one with me went great and the one with his daughter not so good as they were given different information than what he got on his tour with me. My father-in-law liked the fact that there were more men here and that they did a lot to honor the vets who were living there. They do have a pool but it was outside so he could not use it year round, there was a nice exercise room as well. The grounds are well kept and the rooms were nice sized. They do allow pets so his cat would be able to move in with him. But in the end, my father-in-law felt this was just not going to be a good fit.

This community is classy and less expensive than the community I currently live at. The grounds are beautiful. This community has only been open about a year. They offer everything I could want. My apartment is spacious and offers a washer and dryer. They have dry cleaners that come in twice a week. The people I have met so far have been nice. This community is in a good location for me

I received a return call from A Place For Mom with a very helpful gentleman who listened to the needs I had for my Mom. She has lived in the same place for 50 years but as a single person it was overwhelming to take care of. I wanted my Mom to have a nice environment with planned activities she could join and peers she could make friends with. Much of what I found when searching for retirement lifestyle was convalescent living. My Mom is still vibrant, active and social so I wanted for her a place where she could enjoy the next chapter of her life. San Sebastian was suggested to us and it turned out to be the perfect fit for her. She selected the largest apartment available since she was downsizing from a very large house. It is like brand new, move-in ready with the most cheerful staff. As soon as we walked in, we felt comfortable and welcome. I know my Mom will love her new home at San Sebastian. Thank you to A Place For Mom for directing us to this wonderful location.

This place provides quality care, and at a very good value. It's a nice looking place, the staff are very friendly and they keep it nice and clean. We were pleased with all of the services and amenities that they provide. They did seem a little short staffed at times. The other issue we had is that they seemed to be better at communicating on paper than in person. They sent out lots of informative information, but I felt like when I asked questions in person they didn't always have answers for me immediately, or I felt like my comments weren't making it any further than the person I spoke to.

North Star offers many activities for their residents and the property is well managed. [name removed] is renewing her lease for 15 months. She really doesn't participate in the activities, but rather a loner. It is a convenient location for me.
