The L

My boyfriend and I moved in here in November, wanting to be close to Union Station (he commutes for work) and a GU bus stop (so I can get to/from Georgetown when classes are in person). The Mt. Vernon Square area is a great location - lots of restaurants and places to walk, close to downtown, the White House and the mall, but still feels like its own neighborhood. The L is a condo building so the people living here are a mix of owners and renters (really diverse). The facilities are all clean, the building is quiet and lots of people have cute dogs. Parking garage is attached so you don't have to go outside to get in/out.

Quiet place to live near Chinatown

Great place. Quiet, but still close to Chinatown which has lots of things to do. Quick bus ride to GW campus.

L at City Vista

Wonderful building that is well maintained and centrally located to Chinatown and the Convention Center. Building is always clean and the owners committee is very active. Front desk staff are helpful and consistent. Easy access to high end gym, restaurants, and grocery store.

Safe building in new neighborhood

Great building in Mt Vernon triangle area - close to Chinatown metro and all the restaurants and stores in that area. Building is very quiet. One acre green space with grills and lounge chairs is great for an outdoor space during the warmer months. Lots of nearby coffeeshops.

Love this area, right near Logan Circle and 14th street which has so much good food and nightlife!

Amazing neighborhood. Close to GW and close to so much good food and nice restaurants.

Sometimes noisy, but the front desk quickly deal with it if you ask

Great, Safe neighborhood with great food and close to campus.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Winston House
Foggy Bottom/West End are great for 1Ls -- you will get to know the area around school and you will be conveniently within a few blocks of GW. There are a lot of food options, but night life is lacking (though you're a short walk to DuPont and Georgetown). There are plenty of busses and metros around.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Residences on The Avenue
Good only in the sense that it is near the school, that you can receive warnings from the school and D.C. (if signing up), that you can be assured of safety generally even if coming in late due to pulling off night studies in the library. However, noise levels are high, so you can hardly study indoors at home because of people wanting to earn money in exchange for their loud and terrible performances. This means that you may ultimately end up outside for work or rest during morning/afternoon. Noise in the evening can be high too due to some people having gone drunk. Noise (some loud trucks and mostly machine sounds) and lights can be too much for sleeping deeply.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Letterman House
It's really only convenient because of how close the law school is. Otherwise, I would not live here. Definitely a business/corporate area that shuts down on the weekends. Not a lot of options for going out to eat unless it's either overpriced or fast food. The only grocery store that's walking distance is Whole Foods, which I personally hate shopping at.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at The Aston
The Aston is the furthest GW housing from the campus, so we had to walk more than any other student to get to class. We are also the furthest away from any Metro station, but still not considerably far when you look at the big picture. There are grocery stores, bars, and restaurants nearby which is a perk, but it is pretty noisy around here. But I guess that's anywhere in Downtown DC. There are always cars honking, ambulance sirens, etc. But the area seems pretty safe.
