Some Complaints

I've had 6 cockroaches in a year and a half. You either have air or heat and that is frustrating. We don't have a pool.

Columbia Plaza

Columbia Plaza is great for temporary living while in school at GW. My biggest complaint is the neighborhood, which I would not live in if not attending GW. But it's nice to be close to the National Mall and the metro. The building is well run, and any maintenance issues I've had have been fixed quickly.

Very spacious space, great location, good for students

This is very convenient and a great apartment for students wanting to stay close to school and save money on transportation. The apartment is very spacious and bright. The building's maintenance team is very helpful and quick to respond, although there have been cases of miscommunication. For about 6 months in the beginning of our lease, there was a problem with roaches in our building but this was eventually resolved with a building-wide extermination. The managers and nice and always on site during business hours. There is a 24h manned front desk, packages arrive safely and on time with only occasional mixups. The gym is small but recently renovated and works great for basic gym needs.

Hit or Miss

I've lived in this complex for two years (in two different apartments), and it is really hit or miss. I didn't really have problems with my first apartment (other than the fact that a leasing agent told me the apartment had a feature when I signed the lease, but I found out that was untrue when I moved in).

Decent Service and Covers the Basics

I've had a decent experience living at CP, going on two years now. The rent is appropriate and my studio is much larger than others nearby, and a great value. My experience with management has been kind and usually swift. I don't really have any complaints.

large floorplan

The floor plan is large, it's close to school, great for those attending class every day. The gym in the building is open 24 hours and is small but has everything you need. I live in a renovated apartment with new appliances, countertops, and bathrooms. No central heating so wall unit air conditioning and heaters are hit or miss depending on weather.

Spacious and Great Balconies

It is very spacious, and love the balconies. It is close to GW and the National Mall, as well as the Georgetown Waterfront. Only problem is that there a cockroach problems and I've heard of others having rat problems.

About Foggy Bottom

The naturally foggy surroundings of the area gives it its own unique name - Foggy Bottom. Unfortunately, its name does not highlight the excellent quality of music, dance and drama practiced in the neighborhood every single day.

Foggy Bottom Reviews

260 reviews
Lots of pretty row homes, walking distance to many restaurants, grocery stores, and my school. Lots of trees and a dog park near-by. Overall, very pretty and scenic to walk through, and also close to other neighborhoods and essential stores.
I like living in Foggy, it's easy to get to school but also is close to Georgetown, which is fun for food and shopping. The northern part of Foggy (near GW) is about 10 minute walk to Dupont too, which is great.
Short walk to Georgetown, West End, and Dupont Circle. Many restaurants nearby and close to metro so you can get to anywhere in the city conveniently.
Nice to be so close to school. Short walk from the mall and other tourist destinations. Bar/restaurant/night life scene leaves a lot to be desired.
It is really close to campus so a lot of GW folks live here! You can reach a lot of places on public transit.
Edge of Foggy Bottom bordering Georgetown - very safe and peaceful!
I personally enjoy the quietness of the neighborhood and its location within a close walking distance of campus, Georgetown, the water, and convenience/grocery stores. The neighborhood is also very safe, I am a woman in my early 20's and I have never felt unsafe walking home late at night near my apartment.
Foggy Bottom is a great place to live given the proximity to the law school. It's also within walking distance of Georgetown and Dupont Circle which are fun places to go out with friends and classmates. It's also has lots of bike racks for the Capital Bikeshare nearby, and the Foggy Bottom metro stop is a few blocks up the street.
