    Great place to live!

    February 23, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    I have loved my time living at Hightowers. The building is older, sure; but it is well taken care of. I have never seen a mouse, bug, or had a package go missing. You can't beat the location and price!

    Great location and building

    November 18, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
    I loved living in the hightowers. The team was always very communicative and the first month free rent was a great perk. I never had issues with cleanliness or bugs. The laundry is in the basement but I never had issues with that. Overall a great living experience and will miss my time here!

    Save yourself!

    August 30, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
    I moved out. The place is completely infested with mice. I would go to sleep at night to the sound of hundreds of mice moving around in the walls. The management does nothing except rations 3 of those horribly cruel glue traps to each tenant. When I opened the trash chute, a huge spray of cockroaches came flying out. Easily the worst upkeep and worst management I've ever seen. I think they neglect the building so much because they want people to move out -- they can legally raise the rent with ...
    each new tenant. When I left, there were moving trucks lined up outside for all the tenants fleeing.

    perfect location

    September 13, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
    So i was very stressed picking a place online. I have walked past every apartment i was considering and it makes me so proud that i chose HT. 1) it’s on a perfect street with all the churches and houses and i feel safe 2) age of tenants is mid 20s to late 20s. they only have 1BR, 1BA and studios and the layouts are perfect for 1 person. i imagine this isn’t a place for couples 3) the floors the closets the views the everything feels so quintessentially dupont circle and quaint i’m always ...

    I spent 4 years at Hightowers, living in Unit 403. Besides the fact that this building is ideally located, close to both the Dupont area, the downtown, and the 14 and U nightlife area, which allows to access almost all of DC's living places by walk, the units' quality is really good, as well as the amenities (excellent laundry room, fair gym). But mostly, in a building where almost all tenants are young and active professionals, the atmosphere is friendly and helpful. This is mainly and most ...
    surely the case because of a fantastic staff and doorpersons team, who will always greet you with a smile, a helping hand, and a warm conversation! I will definitely remember and miss those years spent there; I hope you new people moving there will feel the same! JB
