Spacious, well maintained, usually good management

The buildings are a little old, sure, but they're spacious and well maintained. Lots of pets for sure, and very pet friendly. It's a fun place to live and we plan to stay until Amazon's arrival send's our rent through the roof.

Excellent apartment

It’s a great location but it’s a 30-40 minute commute. Very convenient via metro and across the street from a mall. Highly recommend it

Not too much noise but elevator sometimes does not work. It's wonderful to be near metro and shopping mall as well as Harris Teeter.

Nice location, questionable management decisions

RiverHouse is seeking approval for complex redesign, including building two new buildings on the complex. By 2018 they promise to knock down our pool and gym, so I definitely see rentership decreasing by then. I know I personally will not be staying here that year and beyond. But if construction noise and well as lack of pool and gym is not a problem, then RiverHouse might be the place for you.

Riverhouse at Pentagon City

Very spacious living room. Extremely pet friendly. Maintenance staff are timely and friendly. Maintenance staff do a very good job of keeping the building clean and outside area well-kept. Parking is reasonable. Rooms are a good size. Rent is reasonable for the area and location.

Not going to get any more bang for your buck than at the RiverHouse

Tons of space. Great views. Only downside is it isn't within walking distance of school. But, door to door, commute takes about 30-35 minutes on average.

Small but friendly

Riverhouse apartments may be a little old and small, but the management and tenants are quite friendly and helpful! Could not ask for a more convenient location - the metro, shops, and grocery store are a 2 minute walk away. Also, the apartments are very pet friendly!

Good place to live in DC

Riverhouse apartments has provide a good place to live in the DC area. While there aren't too many places for a young person to go out in the area, the apartment is metro accessible (especially to DC) and there are lots of places for shopping in walking distance

A great, quiet place to live and relax

I love living at Riverhouse! I was able to snag a great deal on a relatively spacious studio, it's very quiet in my apartment, and management is very professional. Right now they're doing lots of renovations, so it's a great time to get in before everything is done being upgraded. The Pentagon City area is great - it's a very different, calmer vibe than DC, and still has restaurants, the Pentagon City mall, and the Harris Teeter store, among other retailers, steps away.

Pentagon City Reviews

66 reviews
Pentagon City is nice and fairly quiet, which is good for studying. There are some students around but it's mostly families and working individuals. There's not a ton to do, but there are some nice places to walk, and there is a good array of restaurants. The apartment is close to a Harris Teeter and a Whole Foods and Costco.
Safe. Feels like a retirement community. Drivers stop to let you cross the street to the apartment.

For the metro, the ride itself is about 20 min. I just budget in extra time for walking and not wanting to arrive just on time. It shouldn't take 45 minutes to get to school unless they're doing maintenance. Then, add 10 minutes.
The Crystal City and Pentagon City area has a lot of restaurants and shopping in convenient walking distance. The area tends to clear out after 5 on weekdays, but is often busy on weekends, mostly with tourists. I have always felt safe walking alone in the area at whatever time of day/night.
There is not a lot of green space, unless you count Long Bridge "Park", which is a dead-end, cement "bridge" that looks over soccer and baseball fields with some views of D.C.
The location is great. It's a 7 minute walk to the blue line metro, and the total commute to campus is 25 minutes (when the blue line is running properly). An uber takes about 12 minutes and costs an average of $5 per ride (with uber pool). Pentagon City has just about everything you could need. There is a Whole Foods across the street, and the Fashion Center mall is right next to the metro station. There are restaurants, coffee shops, and convenience stores, and a very well maintained public park.
General vibe is 30-somethings wanting to settle down, lots of dogs. Not a huge social scene (which I'm A-OK with).

Pros:
-Very metro-accessible (blue/yellow, so can get into the city in multiple directions if there are delays)
-Walkable - easy to get to grocery store, Pentagon City mall, library, restaurants, etc. within minutes
-Quiet and safe, and generally well-lit in the evenings

Cons:
-I'd like to see a few more restaurant options. There are good casual dining options, like Naked Pizza, California Pizza Kitchen, and the mall food court, but besides Bonefish Grill there's not much a step up from that.
-I don't feel much sense of community, and don't know my neighbors. Not as diverse-seeming as other parts of DC.
The Pentagon City area is safe, quiet (except for big shopping weekends!), and well-lit. Grocery store (Harris Teeter) and tons of other shopping options for all other needs. The metro station is convenient to all area apartment complexes. Great green space/parks across from mall with lots of walking paths. Closest churches however are on 23rd St in Crystal City -- which is not too far of a walk in good weather!
There are dining and shopping options galore. A massive three story shopping mall directly across the street. There are multiple parks in the area and grocery shopping options are within a 15 minute walk. There is a public library nearby and many bus routes.
Safe, affordable. Easy walking access to restaurants and grocery store. Quick access to D.C. via Blue/Yellow lines.
