The Vistas feature one, two, and
three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses with dishwashers, washers
and dryers, eat-in kitchens, and walk-in closets. The rents are lower than
comparable apartments of similar size in Annandale, points out David Steiger,
regional sales and marketing supervisor with Ross Management Services. There’s
a referral bonus for people who refer a new resident by Aug. 31.
