  • Crude but Effective

    September 19, 2015
    DC has obscene rent costs. The Shelby does not. If you are looking for an affordable and pet-friendly apartment on Capitol Hill you've found it. Be warned-these are not the exposed-brick and granite-countertop "luxury" apartments DC loves (wood floors though). They are a little older, a little run down, and management isn't exactly bending over backwards to cater to every tenant whim. That said, if you don't need a doorman and a dedicated parking spot this building is probably one of the most ...
    affordable on the Hill.
