Affordable, Great connectivity.

The apartment is in a great location, close to both Clarendon and DC. Outside of some minor issues like the size of the kitchen and the lack of in unit washers and dryers, the apartment works well and does not require a lot of maintenance.

Great apartment with great location

Within walking distance of the Rosslyn Metro Stop. Great view. Affordable.

Best place for $$$

I have had a great experience living in the River Place complex, particularly the North building (previously lived in East). The building staff are warm, welcoming, and very responsive to needs. The building is well kept with request maintenance by the building with no expense or inconvenience to the resident. The complex is a very short commute to campus via metro, though is also easily bike-able or drivable. There are many restaurants around and basic stores within walking distance.

River Place North Review

I have thoroughly enjoyed living at River Place North! The building is one of four buildings in the River Place Community Complex. It is about a 5-minute walk to the Rosslyn Metro and the total commute to Foggy Bottom takes about 12-15 minutes. Building/complex amenities include a gym (renovated in 2019-2020), pool, convenience store, basement laundry, hairstylist, dry cleaning, and even a playground for kids. One of my favorite features is that there is a CVS immediately next to the building, for any late-night snack runs!

The complex is somewhat older (built in the 1950s-ish, I think), and there is only central AC/heating and some of the appliances/other features are a bit outdated. However, for the same reason, they are fairly large/spacious units compared to the newer, more expensive apartment buildings in the area.

Of note, the building complex consists of condominiums, therefore the units (and prices) can vary widely depending on the owner and whether they updated the unit. Therefore, if you have any problems with your apartment, you may have to contact both your landlord and building management to resolve the issue.

Lastly, I used to live in River Place East during my first year of medical school, and I did not have a great experience in that particular building (i.e., landlord and building management issues and a severely rundown apartment). To my knowledge, each of the four buildings at River Place are managed by separate management offices, therefore the issues that I had at River Place East were in no way repeated at River Place North, and I have enjoyed my experience at River Place ever since! I don't think there are many other options in Rosslyn that combine the super convenient location, lower price point, and amenities that the complex has. Would highly recommend to incoming GW Med students!

Fairly good for my needs

Average property with some maintenance issues, but the proximity to campus and low rent price make it worth it.
