Reply to comment by Chichistarburst96 in Trove Apartments by Chichistarburst96

All of the apartments I’ve researched or lived in across Arlington and Alexandria have roach issues. They come and treat but honestly, there are a ton of people on top of each other which creates tons of garbage - there’s really no way to avoid it.

An engineer friend explained to me that the sewer system in this area wasn’t built to support this many people which is what led to the rats. I don’t recall his whole explanation but it made sense to me at the time.

Oh, so nothing specific to Trove specifically but the general geographical location has that issue? That's gross lol. Thank you for informing me.

I've never had rats or roaches in any building I've lived in in this area. I wouldn't say it's true it's the general area.

Thank you. Okay, interesting. Yeah I never heard of Arlington generally having a rodent and roach infestation problem. However, since I'm relocating I'm open to hear everyone's experience. It is really helpful!

I have a friend who lives in the Buchanan in Crystal City and he hasn’t ever seen a roach or rat. Water Park Tower is also very nice.
