Review of Potomac Plaza in Foggy Bottom

Fair number of older tenants with a mix of younger students and yuppies. Building is showing some signs of wear but generally a nice building. Higher apartments have great views. Rent is manageable if split. Thick walls

Really nice building. Lots of amenities like gym, open rooftop, monthly happy hours, 24 hour front desk service, friendly staff, responsive maintenance, affordable for location and size (LOTS of space for a 3 bedroom in DC under 5000 and the area is an awesome area, super close to Georgetown and a block away from metro). Some parts of the building are a little old fashioned, but that's part of the charm. Only real downside is parking garage has a 2 year waitlist only available for apartment owners, but the metro is a block a way and there's always some method of transportation readily available (uber/lyft, bike shares, scooters, buses, etc.).

Really like the apartment, nice views, good management, no complaints

Quiet and close to Ross Hall and the hospital.

I feel very safe living here and the apartment is conveniently located near school and close to trader joes and whole foods. Walking distance from the monuments. Maintenance is very timely and building has great security. Only downside is cranky elderly residents. Otherwise, building is very quiet.
