Arlington, VA's Liberty Tower Apartments pre-wired with FiOS
As if it wasn't official enough already, here goes: the fiber carriers are on the hunt looking for new dwellings to incorporate their services into. Just a week after hearing that Indiana's Harrison Square condominiums would be available with FiOS TV / internet from day one, we've now received word that Liberty Tower Apartments in Arlington, Virginia is offering the same. Reportedly, a tipster laid down a deposit on a unit and was informed by the staff that Verizon's fiber-based services would be available if he (and any other resident) wanted. So yeah, if you're thinking of relocating and you've been itching to try fiber, it may not be such a bad idea to call around beforehand and see if you get lucky.[Thanks, Daniel]

My former apartment in Alexandria was pre-wired for FiOS, complete with a terminated strand of fiber in a convenient recessed panel in the closet that fit the ONT and battery backup perfectly. The upper panel had a small patch panel for Ethernet and voice, and a splitter for video.

Damn, I wish Alexandria City would get FIOS

That's a photo of "The Residences at Liberty Center" in the Ballston area of Arlington County. I have been eying that place. It isn't an apartment complex. Like most new buildings on the Orange Line Corridor, it is a high-end condo.
