I didn’t know much about the property but I was very interested. My tour guide was so courteous, kind, and patient and went into detail to answer all of my questions. Erin was very courteous and passionate about insuring my experience at the property was top-tier.

I recently visited Elance in Old Town and met with Erin Jenkins, Community Sales Director. I’m considering facilities for a loved one, and Elance came highly recommended. The property is absolutely beautiful, providing all of the amenities I’m looking for. Equally as important, Erin was amazing!! She was professional, knowledgeable and compassionate…traits that are critical when seeking a new “home” for family. She also paid attention to the smallest of details which was very impressive. They are so lucky to have Erin on their team. Of all the places I’ve visited, this is #1 on my list. Great job Erin!

I recently attended the open house at Elance’ of Alexandria on Feb 26th and was thoroughly impressed. The ongoing renovations have already transformed the space, making the apartments look stunning. It’s clear there’s even more to look forward to with additional updates in progress. Between the warm community vibe, the exceptional food, and the live piano entertainment against the backdrop of the Washington Monument, the event was a hit. Not to forget the incredible ice sculpture which added a unique touch. With all these renovations and the vibrant atmosphere, I’d confidently recommend Elance’ of Alexandria to my family.
