I Love living here!

April 26, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
The apartments are in a great location, close to shops, museums, and restaurants. The apartments are spacious. Great amenities. Management and staff are always helpful and friendly. The maintenance team are helpful and reliable.

Great place to live

March 31, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I’ve had a great experience living at Zen Apollo. The community is welcoming, and the management team is always professional and helpful whenever I have questions or need assistance. The location is very convenient with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and major roads. I also appreciate how responsive the staff is and how much they care about keeping the community running smoothly. Overall, it’s been a comfortable and positive place to call home.

Great staff and location

March 13, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I’ve been living at Zen Apollo for years and the staff continue to be friendly and courteous to their tenants needs. The building is always kept well cleaned and the apartments are well maintained with routine maintenance. The apartment sizes are fit according to future tenants wants and needs. The amenities are just beyond great especially for a building located in the great downtown area. You can’t beat the rates and the best part of it all…it’s walking distance to great restaurants and ...
historic sites.

A Wonderful Place to Call Home

March 13, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I’ve really enjoyed my time living in this community. The environment is peaceful and very welcoming. The management team is friendly, responsive, and always willing to help with any questions or concerns. One thing that stands out is how quickly maintenance requests are handled. The staff are professional and make sure everything is taken care of in a timely manner. The amenities are also clean and enjoyable, which adds to the overall experience of living here. It’s a great place to live with a ...
positive atmosphere and a team that truly cares about the residents. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed community.

Do not live here

July 18, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
The building is so old there is constantly maintenance on pipes causing hot water shut downs. The entire building is infested with cockroaches and pest control has to come every week, but that only will help for a few days. The air conditioning is controlled by the building owner so the cold air doesn't work until mid may which is absolutely brutal and you'll be cooking alive in your apartment. The front desk staff is friendly, but management is so disorganized you have to constantly follow up on ...
little things you ask about. The hallways constantly smell of either garbage or marijuana. Sure the rent is reasonable for the location, but you'll be wanting out of your lease as soon as you sign it.

do not move here

September 10, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
roaches infest this building's outlets, pipes, vents, and floorboards. I am leaving my lease early after finding several crawling on me at night. i started seeing tiny bugs coming out of my sinks a couple days into my lease. Once I realized they were cockroaches, I stopped using my kitchen, I stopped bringing any food into the apartment, and I got rid of all trash bins in effort to stem their growth. I even rehomed my pet to avoid having water out. Yet the cockroaches in this building seem to ...
self-sustain on drywall or something else the resident themself does not have to provide. Last night I brought in a smoothie. Within minutes I had several roaches on and around the cup. the pest treatment management provides makes the roaches scatter but it does not seem to kill them. i never saw an improvement during the weeks following treatment. However, i did have to stay in a hotel four times (one time management paid for the stay) after the treatments made them scatter all over my ceiling and by my bed. my current neighbors share similar experiences with the efficacy of the treatment. (independent pest control services i bought myself worked better, but nowhere near well enough to make it habitable.) roaches are also in the concierge area, in the halls, and in the movie theater and sinks in the common area downstairs. At one point my fridge had to be replaced because roaches infested it. the staff is super friendly and patient and genuinely does their best. there is nothing they can do. Pretty sure this entire building needs to be torn down.

I’ve loved living here, location is perfect!

March 23, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
I have been living in a studio apartment for over a year now, I have had very positive experiences with management, maintenance, and the front desk team. All of my issues are addressed very quickly and maintenance usually comes to my apartment the day of my request. When I went to resign my lease, the office offered me the same rent deal I signed in 2020, which I appreciated considering I was hearing horror stories with insane rent raises and didn’t really want to move. There are always issues ...
that come with living in apartments (like roaches), however, I have found that management is very helpful and really nice in assisting to alleviate the issue. It is an older building, but I do think it is well maintained and personally the location is very important to me and I love living so close to the mall, the caps stadium, 14th st restaurants, and so much more.

Water Damage, Roaches.

February 2, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
Horrible, unsafe, unsanitary living conditions. Mold, water damage, roaches. Poor, condescending management. Water was coming out of hallway wall for over two months in addition to other places.

Great location

May 2, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
In my opinion, the best location in the city. Great staff, who's willing to work with you. I really don't have any complaints about this property. Highly recommend

Best downtown location

March 12, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
Great management, maintenance, amenities. Near several Metro stations. Can walk to so many DC sights. Friendly, community atmosphere. Rent reasonable for downtown area. Have lived in building for over 30 years.

Yeah, the Roaches

August 16, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
These are the roaches you’ve heard about, the ones that can survive nuclear winter. Nothing kills them. You’ll always have roaches.

Number of Issues

February 2, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
This building has so many issues and management was incredibly difficult to work with. While I lived here there were cockroaches almost every few days (and an occasional house centipede which was terrifying) and they would treat my place weekly in addition to dropping a “fumigation bomb,” but nothing appeared to work. The pipes are old so water was constantly shut off and right before I moved out a few laundry machines actually broke which caused the pipes to burst and flood every hall. Like ...
other reviews stated, there was no A/C during record heat because the building’s system was old and had broken right before summer. The windows are thin so if you’re facing the back street you WILL hear the sirens from the nearby fire station every night. When I had finally had enough I tried to negotiate breaking lease, citing unlivable conditions, and management threatened to bring in their attorneys. Tl;dr I wouldn’t live here and you should be wary of the low prices because they’re indicative of the poor living conditions.
