Spacious apartments, but pricey for what you get

These apartments are extremely nice, but you definitely pay for that. Pros are it is very close to the Navy yard metro. Cons are the endless construction everywhere, along with the not-so-safe-but-up-and-coming neighborhood. The rooftop is great, with grills and a small pool and a great view of Nats stadium (close enough that you could hear the Taylor Swift concert recently!)

We've lived in multiple buildings in this neighborhood over the past few years and we absolutely love it. The gorgeous waterfront is a few minutes from any building in the neighborhood and we are steadily getting new restaurants and finally the advent of fast-casual restaurants too. There are still areas of the neighborhood that are less safe, but my first apartment was squarely within the less-than-safe part, and there were never any incidents. There is a fair amount of construction to contend with, but it is merely indicative of how quickly this neighborhood is booming. The prices are unlikely to stay this low for long; we are already seeing a steady jump in pricing in all the surrounding buildings.
I love living in Navy Yard!! I am a ten minute walk to work and five minutes from two metro stops. There is a Harris Teeter within easy walking distance and a Whole Foods on the way. The area down on the water in Yards park is beautiful and has a great variety of restaurants, bars and necessities (gym/salon etc.) As a Nats fan, being steps from the ballpark is also a HUGE plus. The only con right now is all of the construction going on, but within the next year it will just mean more exciting things for the area so it's not all that bad.
The neighborhood is largely under construction but in ten years or so it will be awesome. In the meantime, there are a lot of great restaurants, the waterfront, and the baseball stadium.
The areas is constantly changing with new restaurants and bars. During the summer the the Yards Park is one of the most beautiful and popular parks int he city!
Looking forward to more grocery stores and shops opening, but I like the quiet of the neighborhood. Easy walk to the water and the Capitol.
I love walking around this neighborhood because it is rather quiet and residential. There are many parks nearby.
The neighborhood has been fantastic. Tons of construction of new restaurants and retail. Great to explore.
Lots of cool bars and restaurants nearby and it's always so nice in the spring and summer having the ballpark right there. Only downside is that it seems like nobody cares to pick up after their dogs - there is feces ALL OVER the sidewalks.
While the neighborhood feels safer than where I used to live in Chinatown, the Riverfront area has increasingly felt less and less safe with more crime happening in the area.
