Good Location No Frills

Location is perfect. Besides the landlord and the occasional noise no real issue . Great temporary living environment if you are in transition and you don't need a vehicle. Landlord is nice but she can be a bit invasive. She means well but might be a cultural barrier

Good Loaction

Apartment has potential but the landlord decides when she wants to to come in and out the apartment and when she lives there and doesn't. The room is clean and shared spaces are in decent shape. Building is quite and safe. Very good for transitional housing.

Reviewed by AmericanU Graduate Student living at Highland Park at Columbia Heights
Columbia Heights is nearby lots of restaurants and bars and we live right next to the metro.
Reviewed by AmericanU Graduate Student living at Berkeley Condos
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).
Reviewed by AmericanU Graduate Student living at Monroe Common
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,
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at N/a
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.
