Good location, great amenities, love living here

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live by a major league sports stadium. It can get annoying to use the metro on game days but it's fun to have your friend over before or after games.

The amenities in the building are great (rooftop pool/grills, club room, pool tables, computer room, gym, and even a movie theater). The people who work in the building are friendly and helpful. Even though we don't have a dog, we like that it's pet friendly. The area is growing like crazy - it feels like we get a new restaurant practically every week. We are about a 6 min walk from the Navy Yard metro station about a 12 min walk to Capitol South - Capitol Hill and Eastern Market are totally walk able.

Great Area

I love the area because there is so much to do and it seems like more and more opens up every month. The price is reasonable because I split with one other person, and to live in that area we feel like we're getting a bargain. Management group is friendly and always helpful.

Great Building

I have lived at 70 Capitol Yards for almost two years now and still enjoy living there very much. When the building was built in the late 2000s it was state of the art, and one of the first in the Navy Yard areas. While new apartment buildings are being built around this building, the management have been keeping up and have been upgrading our amenities. The location is great, just blocks away from the Yards park, new restaurants, Nats Park, and the Capitol. Access to two metro stations serving different line are within walking distance. Would recommend this location to anyone.

Reviewed by GW Law Student living at 100 Capitol Yards
We've lived in multiple buildings in this neighborhood over the past few years and we absolutely love it. The gorgeous waterfront is a few minutes from any building in the neighborhood and we are steadily getting new restaurants and finally the advent of fast-casual restaurants too. There are still areas of the neighborhood that are less safe, but my first apartment was squarely within the less-than-safe part, and there were never any incidents. There is a fair amount of construction to contend with, but it is merely indicative of how quickly this neighborhood is booming. The prices are unlikely to stay this low for long; we are already seeing a steady jump in pricing in all the surrounding buildings.

I love living in Navy Yard!! I am a ten minute walk to work and five minutes from two metro stops. There is a Harris Teeter within easy walking distance and a Whole Foods on the way. The area down on the water in Yards park is beautiful and has a great variety of restaurants, bars and necessities (gym/salon etc.) As a Nats fan, being steps from the ballpark is also a HUGE plus. The only con right now is all of the construction going on, but within the next year it will just mean more exciting things for the area so it's not all that bad.

The neighborhood is largely under construction but in ten years or so it will be awesome. In the meantime, there are a lot of great restaurants, the waterfront, and the baseball stadium.

The areas is constantly changing with new restaurants and bars. During the summer the the Yards Park is one of the most beautiful and popular parks int he city!

Looking forward to more grocery stores and shops opening, but I like the quiet of the neighborhood. Easy walk to the water and the Capitol.

I love walking around this neighborhood because it is rather quiet and residential. There are many parks nearby.

The neighborhood has been fantastic. Tons of construction of new restaurants and retail. Great to explore.
Reviewed by Local Resident living at Parc Riverside
Lots of cool bars and restaurants nearby and it's always so nice in the spring and summer having the ballpark right there. Only downside is that it seems like nobody cares to pick up after their dogs - there is feces ALL OVER the sidewalks.
While the neighborhood feels safer than where I used to live in Chinatown, the Riverfront area has increasingly felt less and less safe with more crime happening in the area.
