Great location, pet friendly

I moved into my current apartment about a year and a half ago and I never want to leave! Though it is a small space (approximately 850 sq. ft) it is split between two levels which makes it feel larger, and the floor plan of the main floor is very open. It is great for hosting guests, because if i am in the kitchen, I am still also in the living room with my guests. The bathroom is huge and beautiful with a shower and a bath and all the appliances are very modern. We have a spiral staircase that I love. The location os very conducive to a 20-something lifestyle as we are walking distance to U Street and Adams Morgan and a short distance away from Dupont. We have great local restaurants and bars, there is a grocery store within walking distance, 2 metro stops both about .7 miles away and a dog park. Our building is also very pet friendly, and the neighbors are very friendly as well.

Lovely apartment

I have lived in my Columbia Heights apartment for 1.5 years now and I LOVE it. I previously lived for 3 three years in the Palisades in a crappy apartment with terrible management. What an upgrade! The rent is steep, but doable. No amenities though which is a bummer, but there is a local pool open during the summer only a block away. The location is amazing. Walking distance to both the U Street metro (and all the bars/restaurants/night life attractions of U Street) and Columbia Heights (not to mention the Target and Giant there) but removed enough from the hustle to be quiet and feel neighborhood-y.

Columbia Heights is nearby lots of restaurants and bars and we live right next to the metro.

I love this neighborhood. Shopping, such as Target and Best Buy, is easily accessible. There are great restaurants featuring diverse food options. The neighborhood itself is very diverse, with a large Latino population and a mix of other races and ethnicities as well. There's a wonderful farmer's market on Saturday mornings. Meridian Hill, or Malcolm X Park, is nearby. Other neighborhoods with great bars and restaurants are within walking distance, including Petworth/Park View and the U Street Corridor. The metro ride to American University is quite long; I'd recommend taking a bus to Tenleytown and then taking the AU bus to campus.

Regarding neighborhood safety, there are occasionally shootings unfortunately. I have never personally felt unsafe even at night, but realize others might feel so.

Great neighborhood for being close to Howard but slightly away at the same time (different vibe). Lots of restaurants and chill bars around plus (and more importantly), lots of grocery stores, gym, etc.

If you value quiet, try to go a block or two away from 14th street (which is a popular artery for fire engines / ambulances / police cars - i.e. lot of sirens).

Con: Increasing amounts of gentrification in this neighborhood is increasing rent prices

There are so many things to do in the area and the majority of them are a 15-20 minute walk away. There are 2 metro stations (both on the Green line) which makes going to see the monuments and museums a 20 minute trip. The area is great for experiencing life in the city.

There is always something going on! That is part of a city. I live across the street from Target, Bestbuy, Chiptole, liquor store, Cava, and CVS. Things are within walking distance (i.e., U-street is about 15 minute walk down 14th).

I love Columbia Heights! I'm two blocks off of 14th Street where transit (yellow/green) and stores are, including Giant, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, and several eateries! It's also a quick walk to AdMo and U Street corridor.
Reviewed by DC Resident living at 1429 Girard Street
Nowhere else in DC is there such a melting pot of culture, food and things to do. Everything is in walking distance and there is no need for a car. If your are a foodie your a few blocks from U street or Adams Morgan,

It's not a great neighborhood intrinsically, nor is it particularly close to GW. But it's close to pretty much everything else while being far enough away/still being gentrified so that it's cheaper.
