February 27, 2025Do not move in into this place. It is terrible. They misrepresent the building. They don’t announce the hidden fees which you end up paying when moved in. Hidden fees are for gas and electric in the communal spaces. Electric bill for communal space exceeds my personal electric bill twice - and I work from home and have TV and electricity on during the whole day. This is insane! You end up paying for all the people who don’t want to watch TV at their homes and come to the lounge area. TV in the ...lounge area is on and working 24/7. Leasing office treats you terribly. They avoid any sort of issues and “play ball” once you come with On my way! Issue. Building manager is absolutely rude and her client management skills are non-existent. The team never knows what is your GL balance in terms of rent balances. The GL can have erroneous charges. Or the leasing team “forgets” to post any discounts like free month and you have to be diligent and check everything to the penny. Terrible terrible building.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com

February 25, 2025This is a property that I would not recommend for anyone. The quality of living has significantly decreased within the last four years of me living here. While the cost of living there has increased significantly, along with utilities, the amenities available do not correlate with cost.Review from Apartments.com

Horrible living conditions, crazy neighbors, poor security
December 20, 2023Within the span of one year, there have been two fires, a flooding that damaged the property of people living in the 4th floor down, and elevators that were non-functional for over 2 months. There was no acknowledgement or attempt by the property managers to win us over, just kept charging rent like there was nothing wrong. The car garage has been open for pretty much my entire lease, and still hasn't been fixed. Every night during the summer, people that weren't even residents would come and ...use the pool for pool parties. Some of my neighbors have very loud arguments in the middle of night, or play music all throughout the day. The only positive is that it is close to the metro, but beyond that, this place is not worth a penny.Property Manager Responded

2-year resident update - the verdict is in and this place is great!
August 28, 20192-YEAR UPDATE We just moved out of Onyx after two years and the only reason we did is because we bought a house, otherwise we would have stayed. I've moved around a lot and lived around the world and the DMV. The Onyx is one of the best places I've ever lived anywhere. Residents were all friendly and courteous, never had an issue with any of my neighbors and you can't hear anything through the walls or floors which is definitely unique in apartment living. The quality of the building itself is ...great, the roof is nice and peaceful, and I love the updated grill area. I checked out a lot of other buildings in the area and I know that some of them have MTV cribs style amenities but they also had a frat house vibe and very thin walls. This place was also by far the best value for money I found in the neighborhood and our rent stayed the same year-over-year. Unusual in the DC area. The thing that really sets the Onyx apart from the competition is the level of service they provide. From the moment we started looking at apartments there until the day we handed in our keys, Arlene and her team provided excellent service and made us feel at home. Receptionists always know your name and apartment number, maintenance requests are handled quickly, any questions/concerns are resolved promptly. I highly recommend this building. Thanks for making what might be our last rental experience ever the best we've ever had!Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
Comfort in the city!
January 30, 2019I cannot day enough good things about the staff, management and property. They create a warm welcoming environment for residents and guest that you can’t find elsewhere in the hustle and bustle of DC. They go out of there way to make sure your needs are met. My family comes to visit and the concierge are always very friendly. Nothing but raving reviews from me and my first year in DC. Thank you Team Onyx!!!!! Strongly recommend!Review from Apartments.com
I loved living here! Best Staff Ever! Great for First time DC Residents!
October 4, 2018Likes/Loves: I loved the quietness, the staff, the closeness to Navy Yard & Bolling AFB, the convenient parking garage attached and the Rooftop! Navy yard also boasts of a great variety of restaurants to walk to so that's also been really nice. Onyx is literally in the middle of everything you need Metro (Navy Yard stop is right out the back and front door), Two Grocery Stores, CVS, DMV (Department of Motor vehicle), Coffee/ Breakfast shops, Post Office and plenty nail shops, cleaners and ...hotels) you literally never have to leave the neighborhood. The common areas in the building are also well kept and not busy as one would assume. You also get to relax without staff monitoring you like some complex's. The tenants are awesome too! Everyone speaks and truly treats you as a neighbor and are respectful of one another. The building is pet friendly and that's just what I've encountered....friendly pets. Dislikes: It's a booming sports neighborhood so I hated the parking and traffic during NATS game season. Its hard to have guest over during game season because parking is a mess and extremely expensive. Also check rules for out of state tags for street parking. Staff: Literally the best group of professionals I've encountered while renting. Please believe all the raving reviews you read about Ms. Brown the property manager... she is truly unheard of and the best in this business and takes exceptionally great care of residents and the property! Georgia is also very nice, patient and accommodating. She assisted me with various things and remained patient and professional each time. There were so many rules and things to consider when moving but Ms. Brown made the process so seamless. When it was time for me to move Georgia and Ms. Brown helped me tremendously!! You wont find a better management staff than these two. Let me not forget about Theresa, Ciara, Charles and Tammy..... they are the best 24 hour concierge staff a company should have!!! So pleasant all the time they make you feel like family Haha. Last but not least the maintenance staff who are always so prompt and accommodating. They literally fixed any of my work orders within 24 to 48 hours. They are also very nice guys and are always respectful of the hours they come to fix things. I work from home a lot so they check to make sure its ok to come in without disturbing me. I appreciate this.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
Friendly and helpful staff
September 28, 2018I have been at the Onyx about a month now and am really impressed with how helpful the staff has been in assisting me during that time period. Every single person here knows what they are doing (which is rare in my experience) and does it with a smile. My unit is great at keeping sound out from outside and the surrounding units. The rooftop is comfortable and the Metro is right around the corner, with many restaurants and other amenities within walking distance. You need to check out the Onyx if ...you're looking in Navy Yard.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
Couldn't recommend Onyx more- best staff in a great location!
September 26, 2018My move to DC was quick, and I had to find an apartment without seeing it first. I read great things about the Onyx and the pictures looked great. I spoke with Arlene for about 5 minutes, and knew I was going to choose the Onyx. Arlene and the Onyx staff made my stressful move so easy, I can't thank them enough. She made herself available to answer all my questions, went out of her way to make me feel comfortable signing a lease sight unseen, accommodated what I needed for my move in, and really ...just went above and beyond what they needed to do. As for the apartment and complex, they're great. The common areas are always clean. I frequent the gym, pool, and espresso machine - huge fan. My apartment is the perfect size. I really love everything about the Onyx!Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
