Before he and Bonello decided to move into Liberty Tower, Yates said, he toured four or five other buildings. "Some of the buildings had similar amenities, but these apartments are brand new," Yates said. "For about the same amount of rent, we get to live in a brand-new building."
It's also in a desirable neighborhood.
A Marvelous Market is on the same block, around the corner from the front entrance. The Ballston Common Mall, with stores, restaurants and a Regal Cinema movie theater, is a block away. Various coffee shops and eateries -- including Cosi, Starbucks, Booeymonger, Potbelly Sandwich and a sit-down Thai restaurant -- are within three blocks.
Besides being near the Ballston Metro stop, the building is also within walking distance of the Virginia Square/GMU and Clarendon stations. There are a handful of public parks nearby, which are appreciated by Liberty Tower's dog-owning tenants, such as Nancy Seadler.
Seadler; her husband, Einar Seadler; and their nine-pound miniature poodle, Chili, moved into the building in March. The Seadlers were looking for an apartment in Arlington to be close to Einar's job as a consultant in Ballston.
"There were very few buildings that would allow pets," Nancy Seadler said. She said she was pleased when she found Liberty Tower.
There are parks within a short walk, and Seadler said she routinely takes Chili to them. "I think the area is pet-friendly," she said.
When they moved into the building in March, some of the higher floors hadn't been completed, so they ended up in an apartment on the ninth floor, though she and her husband wanted a higher floor for the view, Seadler said.
After two months, building managers -- Liberty Tower is managed by Kodiak Realty Services -- allowed them to move to the 19th floor.
"They were so helpful and flexible," Seadler said. "They loaned us little carts to move our possessions. They do go out of their way to make things easy."
