Great place to live, but few caveats

Carillon house is great! Staff is friendly and always helpful. However, even though it comes with Internet in your rent, it's terrible. As a student I couldn't deal, so I have to pay for my own. Lastly, there are very little parking spots which is hard. The waiting list is approximately 8 months. All in all, great place to live. They have awesome holidays parties also!!

Experience

It's great the Carillon House is quiet so I can focus at home while I am studying. I wish the cost of laundry was not as expensive as it is right now. Even though the rent is somewhat high, it is still a nice apartment to live in. The internet is kind of slow, which is hard for when I study at home.

Review

The apartment is pretty pricey, but that is to be expected living in DC. The apartment building itself is pretty nice and very well maintained. There is a large and clean laundry room with multiple washers and dryers, and nice gym on site, as well as a bike room. The property managers do a good job of hosting events for the apartment community.

Good place for a medical student

The management staff and facilities are very friendly. I haven't had any serious complaints in the last 12 mo. 20 min walk from med school, close to wholefoods and buses.

Carillon House

Pros:
- Price: offers some of the cheapest rates in the Georgetown area for studio and one bedroom apartments. Currently I believe rent is anywhere from $1350 - $1700 depending on the apartment layout. The rent also includes Internet (decent speed, you ned to buy a router), AC/Heat, water, electricity, cable (only very basic cable I.e. 10 channels) In my apartment search, the only options for single apartments I found in Georgetown that were comparable were basement apartments.
- Security: the building has a 24 hour doorman as well as key fob required access to enter the building. The doorman is one of the building residents and they usually don't monitor guests, so it's not the highest level of security. But it's comforting to know there's the extra set of eyes watching who comes & goes. Additionally, the area of Glover Park is safe.
- Location: 15 minute walk to campus. It's perfect, and not an unsafe walk late at night coming home from the library. The building is in an area of Zone 3 that is eligible for a DC Student Reciprocity Parking pass (~$375/year) so when you need a car as an M3 parking is really easy. There are always plenty of street parking spots in the surrounding blocks. Alternatively, the building has a garage where you can park for ~$175/month (there's a 6 month wait list for a spot). The building is located right on Wisconsin Ave: Starbucks, Rocklands, Whole Foods, CVS, Surfside, Chipotle as well as multiple other bars and restaurants are within a 5 min walk. Safeway is about a 10 min walk away - getting there is easy but coming back with groceries is tough as it is uphil. Luckily there is are bus stops right outside of Safeway and the apartment building and you can hop on if your bags are particularly heavy.
- Easy Access to public transportation: the bus stops outside the building which is really convenient. You can be at M street in 10 mins (about 25 mins away walking) and at the Foggy Bottom subway station in under 20. The busy street of Wisconsin Ave makes hailing a cab a piece of cake as well!
- Space: the apartments are huge with tons of space. In my studio, I have 3 closets 2 of which are walk ins. I've got all the shelves and hanging space a girl could dream of!
- Maitenance: the maintenance team is really quick with turn around. I've had my requests answered in the same day/next day.
- Laundry: many machines in the basement. Only problem is that they typically are full on the weekends with everyone doing laundry but if you strategize you'll never have a problem! (I.e do laundry during the week or early AM on weekend days)
- Rooftop: amazing views of the city.

Cons:
- Building Age/Aesthetics: the building is older, but they do do a good job with upkeep from what I can tell. The lobby area is very nice and they are in the process of renovating some of the apartments. I live in one of the older apartments and it's fine for what I need. With older buildings of course you wonder about the risk of critters - in my two years living here so far I have seen only one small unwelcomed friend, which I immediately reported to management. The building has exterminator come every week for such cases. I haven't heard of any major other issues on the topic.
- Noise: I haven't had a huge problem with this, but you can occasionally hear other tenants through the vent system. Some people who live on the Wisconsin Ave side complain that the street noise carries.

Overall, Carillon House is a great place to live. I've lived here for 2 years and am planning on staying for a 3rd. It's a great value for the money and in perfect location!

Close and hassle free

This building is close to the medical center (approximately an 18 minute/1.3 mi walk), in a safe location, close to Whole Foods and many restaurants/bars, and very responsive to maintenance needs. The rent includes a roof deck which is beautiful with lounge chairs and tables, gym in the basement, laundry in the basement, and 24 hour concierge to receive packages. Garage parking is available for $175/mo. There are studios, one bedroom, and two bedroom apartments in the building.

Great place to live

As a med student, Carillon House is a great place to live - great location and best deal for your money in the Glover Park area. Pros - awesome roof deck, nice and prompt maintenance staff, roomy studio apartments with lots of light. Cons - older building, older gym equipment but works fine if you just need a treadmill, older laundry facilities. If you are hoping for a fancy brand new apartment building with all the amenities, this might not be the best fit for you, but if you're looking to be able to walk to school/hospital with a nice, safe building, it was a great place to live.

Studio apartment in Carillon House

Most apartments in the buildings are spacious studios with a big walk through closet to the bathroom. Each apartment has a large window so there is lots of natural light. The management is very responsive and friendly, and I have definitely enjoyed living here. There is also a nice rooftop that overlooks all of DC! Its one of my favorite parts of the building. The building is located in Glover Park (north of campus) which has grocery stores, CVS, fedEx kinkos, restaurants and bars - everything you need more or less. And its about a 20 minute walk to campus.

Glover Park Reviews

58 reviews
Great family-friendly neighborhood with a lot of parks and green space. Downside is the lack of public transportation (no metro nearby). Lots of grocery stores and restaurants nearby and clean and safe environment.
I like this neighborhood, but it is quiet. If you are looking for a bustling DC experience, Glover Park is probably not your neighborhood. That said, for two grad students during a pandemic/insurrection, this has been the perfect spot. It's quiet, out of the fray, but I can walk to Dupont in about 40 minutes.
Glover park has everything you need - whole foods, safeway, CVS, great take out (dumplings and beyond), dry cleaners etc. It is very clean, neat and safe. Lots of busses are right there, but takes a little longer to get downtown since the metro is not right there. Overall though, I love glover park!
Glover Park is the ideal living situation for families and young professionals. In the neighborhoods off of Calvert, there is vitually no noise. There are lots of parks and wooded areas to go on walks, but a 5 minute walk to Wisconsin Ave will give you your choice of restaurants and nightlife.
Fantastic neighborhood to live in. Supermarkets, restaurants, parks, and gyms are all closeby. Only problem is it's on a hill so walking uphill could be a lot on some days
Very clean, safe, a little bit more suburban than urban, but downtown isn't far. Lots of parks and greenery. Grocery store is a good 15 min walk and everything is walkable, but not super close. Overall, I loved living in this neighborhood.
Excellent neighborhood, quiet and close to short trail walks that take you directly into nature. Although there is no metro, there is a well-connected bus system. Trader Joe's and Safeway are both not too far and school is a good walk.
Glover Park is really quiet and grassy. Lots of pets and babies.
