Modera Mosaic Apartments

I had the most positive experience with my move to Modera at Mosaic District.
Rachael and Jennifer were truly my angels and took care of getting my unit delivered on time. These two ladies were caring and knowledgable. Gold star for Rachael and Jennifer. You are my heroes! I love my new place at Modera.

This is a review based on my personal experience from living in the community for the past two and a half months since June 2015.
Back in Feb of 2015, when Modera Mosaic was still mostly just a concrete slab, I had signed a pre-​lease special. When it came time for the move-​in date of April, Modera Mosaic wasn’t ready for residents so I extended my lease at the place I was staying at. In May, Modera Mosaic was still not ready for move-​in but I had a firm move out date; however, the Modera Mosaic management was extremely accommodating. They temporarily set me up for a really nice extended stay Mosaic district hotel until the Modera Mosaic apartments were ready.
I’ll talk about the amenities next but the location of this community pretty much seals the deal due to the proximity to: post office, banks, artificial turf baseball/​soccer/​football field, biking trails, medical district, bars, restaurants, shopping, groceries, theater, gym, coffee, new Zip car stations, free electric car charging, free yoga, Sunday Farmer’s market, and 20 min walk to metro/​or just take the weekday pre/​post work hour shuttle.
Amenities include: really nice gym overlooking district avenue, 2 outdoor courtyards with grills, an outdoor pool one can get tan in (I live in a studio and I have 3 pool wristbands), a large communal kitchen with a billiards table, game room (they haven’t set-​up any gaming consoles yet), fancy coffee machine that uses real whole beans, and plenty of work/​study areas. On summer Fridays, one can kinda sit in the West Courtyard to watch the outdoor film without having to fight for spots in Strawberry Park.
Pros:
1) Staff is very accommodating
2) Well built apartment walls, aside from main door and windows, I can barely hear my neighbors under normal circumstances
3) Friendly neighbors (mostly well to do millennials), the average city priced Class A monthly rent helps weed out shady weirdos
4) Reasonable electric bills (For the fellow engineers, I am conservative, live on the top floor studio with 4 windows, and use an average of $ 30 – 45 in electricity per month, the apartments don’t use gas and showers heat within seconds)
5) All of the above
Cons: There really isn’t any other than the following
1) I can hear almost everything through the windows but it’s been tolerable so far
2) Parking is relatively expensive (motorcycle parking costs the same as a car)
3) Parking Garage Ceiling is extremely low (~Just over 6′) so just high enough for a UHAUL pick up truck but too short for anything bigger
4) Not necessarily the fastest response time – I might be too type A though, so take this with a grain of salt for now at least
This place is perfect whether you are a homebody, extroverted, or slightly both. Essentially, this community fits the millennial lifestyle perfectly despite having a location outside DC. Like if someone pulled a research paper about millennials and built a community around the paper, this is it.
If you use me as a referral on your application, and move in, once Modera credits me $ 500 for the referral, I will split the fee $ 400 your way and $ 100 my way via Venmo/​cash (whatever works for you) upon receipt. My Google # 202−417−8108. Text me and I will send you the referral link. (Just let me know if you actually moved in so that I may follow up with the leasing office. Credit usually occurs one month after you move in)
For the lazy ones amongst us, this apartment community is eligible for USPS real mail notification, i.e. receive images of the mail you will receive that day via email.

Update 10/​29/​2015
For one of my billing cycle’s, I noticed that the utility usage for my apartment seemed abnormally high i.e. ~8000 gallons within 45 days. I alerted the Modera Mosaic management and not only did the management take my concern seriously by investigating my apartment for leaks immediately (thanks Jeff and co) (the maintenance team did find an issue with my apartment, not leak related) but the management also took my side against the billing/​utility company. Morgan did a nice job, made things really simple, and credited my monthly rent for the utility billing «issue».
If Unilocal allowed extra credit, I would give an extra star for how the management handles problems.
