Decent Starter Apartment (studio)
October 5, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
I lived in a studio for 2 years while attending school. The studio was decent - small when compared to other studios in a similar price range. However, the building is fairly small which in turn means there is very little noise. Management was typically responsive to maintenance requests, and upper management was very helpful when there were any issues with the building and/or the onsite manager. My honest recommendation is if you are a student who is looking to live alone in a studio for a one ...
year lease - this is a pretty decent deal. However, your rent will increase after the first 12-months based on the D.C. rent control rates. The neighborhood is pretty safe, and the neighborhoods offer great places to walk/run. Buses make getting to Tenleytown/Van Ness very easy. It is also a nice 20ish minute walk to get to either Tenleytown/Van Ness. Daily maintenance keeps the common areas clean, and most mornings you will see the nice individuals who are responsible for emptying floor garbage rooms/cleaning the lobby. The laundry room is communal and typically clean. While all unit utilities (including AC) are included, there are really no additional amenities. If your budget allows, there may be nearby studios for a bit more that also include onsite gyms, roof tops, etc. But if your budget is your bottom line, 5100 is a decent place to start, especially if you are new to D.C.
