The Landing Alexandria

The Landing Alexandria is good. My parents have a nice view. It's a very clean, nice facility, but it also costs $11,000 a month. They have a one-bedroom apartment. They have everything there. You can get massages, you can get your hair done, and you can get your nails done. You could do it all if you have the money. They have a courtyard, a penthouse, a very nice game room, and a very nice dining hall. They're getting what seems like fair market value for what they're paying when I compare them to everything else. The reason I chose this place over some others is because the timing was right, and it's close to where I live.

The problem we had at The Landing Alexandria was that their kitchen was a microwave, and that's pretty much it. You have a refrigerator, but nothing really to cook with. The location is too urban and kind of in the middle of town. I guess some would think is good; however, it's a lot noisier, and I don't like it. They have a one-bedroom, a two-bedroom, and a one-bedroom-with-den units, and I think that was about it. They have activities, but I don't feel comfortable there. The decor was a bit too modern for my taste. It was a minimalist sort of thing, but I didn't get good vibes there. The staff was okay, but I didn't like what I saw. I also didn't think they had quite as much to offer as the other places.

In general, we were not that impressed with The Landing Alexandria. The apartments were small. We never saw a two-bedroom, even though we requested it. So, we saw a one-bedroom. The people I talked to were competent, but when we walked in, they didn't think we were going to be there. They were not prepared for us even though we had an appointment. There was no warmth to it. It would not be the one that we would go back to again.

The Landing Alexandria was gorgeous. The person who toured us was wonderful. I would go to the Landing Alexandria in a minute, but my husband likes the other community better. The Landing Alexandria is smaller, and you don't get that feeling like a hotel. They supply all the appliances like the other place, but I think they're better in quality. They provide three meals a day as well. The staff who gave the tour was very helpful and cordial. She could answer all our questions. The building was immaculate. The only thing we didn't like about is that it's right in the city. There're no pretty grounds that you could walk around it. It's very urban.

The Landing Alexandria was excellent. It's a fabulous location if you're a younger or more able senior and if you travel because you're right near the airport, and that's one of the reasons why I looked at it. Plus, I have a friend who lives there, and I visited her several times, and it is fabulous. The building is complete, and it is a year and a half old. However, because it's a high rise, the only way that seniors can get out and about and do stuff is to go up on their eighth floor. That's where their garden club has plots, and that's where the chef grows his herbs, and they have a bar and a lounge up there so people can be outside and stuff. But that's it, so that's the only problem. Also, they don't have a pool. It's beautiful and it's a gorgeous spot, but there's a lot of construction. And for seniors who are moving across the country, I wouldn't want to stress them with that. It's brand new, so everything is shiny and bright. The layouts are nice. They offer five different layouts from studios to two-bedrooms plus a den. Some have balconies, and some without. I tried their food, and it was good. I had eaten with a friend of mine before.
