Apartment hunting (NOVA)

I’m looking for a 1/1 or 2/1(.5) under $2800( including utilities). The reviews for the better half of the apartments in NOVA range from cockroaches and rats joining you for dinner or a burglar stealing everything but your doorhandles so I would really love any help! Moving timeframe is around beginning of November. Commute to Falls Church for work but it is not my biggest concern right now so any area review is welcome.

Some optional amenities I also am looking for
-patio/porch
-walls that are thick enough to where I can’t hear my neighbor fart (not really optional)
-walk in closet and bathroom counter space
