Affordable but hardly worth it
My roommate and I (both grad students at AU) have lived at the Washington Apartments since September 2021. Since then, we have encountered numerous problems with our apartment complex, ranging from roaches in our apartment to rats outside of it. The area also has a higher crime rate than previously anticipated, despite being centrally located to everything downtown DC (Shaw, U Street, Logan Circle) has to offer. In fact, the only positives of living here are the location and the affordability of this complex. Management is sometimes responsive but usually isn't. Overall, I would only recommend living here if you're willing to sacrifice comfort for cost-saving.

Cheap, but you can tell
It's fine. There's a gated grassy area for kids to play and dogs to exercise in which is nice. The management has tended to be pretty unresponsive to issues like ceiling leaks. They pretty much won't communicate with you via email. The buildings are old. Neighbors are nice. Parking is only $75 a month.

Trade-offs are worth it
This is a smaller, older apartment. It doesn't look nice from the outside. But in Covid times when amenities don't really matter because you can't use them, this is perfect. We are walking distance to anywhere we'd want to go, right next to the Metro and Capital Bikeshare, and saving lots of money while we do it. Management is responsive and helpful.

Great place to live
Location of the building is really convenient for a student, there are various grocery stores, restaurant and bars on 5-10 min walking distance. The only issue some people might feel is that it takes 25 min total time by metro to reach the GW law campus.

Love this place!
GREAT location if you like DC - close to parks, a great grocery store, and fun little bars and restaurants. Management is responsive and considerate, parking is $50 bucks a month, and you're right next to the metro. Only downside is package pickup is mostly working hours during the week, but they are open on saturdays too.

Washington Apartments
The Washington Apartments is an affordable complex in the newly popular Shaw neighborhood. The location is awesome, located right on the green/yellow line, .5 mile away from China town, tons of restaurants around, located right near the O St. Market They are not upscale apartments, but the inside is nicer than the outside of the building. New gym and resident center. The management isn't the best but I haven't had a terrible experience either, The neighborhood can be bit a sketchy at times but for the most part I feel safe.

You get what you pay for
The complex is located only a block from the Convention Center and Mt. Vernon Square metro station, but has little to no amenities. There are no balconies. The property is key-fob access gated, but gates are often broken or inoperable. I would recommend for single guys or students at Howard, which is just up the block on 7th Street.
