Highview

Not many complaints. Rent controlled and the management company is responsive. It's on a hill and there's a nice view of DC . We had a light in the bathroom fall off the wall and almost kill me but that was the only real issue we've had in four years.

Pricey but Close

I lived at Highview Apartments since my first year and I haven't regretted it aside from the rent price. A huge benefit is it's proximity to campus as it's only a 15-20 minute walk. It also has a beautiful rooftop with an amazing view of the whole city. Another plus is that the apartment is located between 2 metro stops (U Street and Columbia Heights) on the Green Line and close to a lot of restaurants and work out studios. There's only street parking around the building but since I did not have a car is wasn't a deal breaker for me. A downside is that the units have small kitchens but it is overall functional and you make it work. The management is very professional and always helpful. With any maintenance issues or concerns that have come up, they are quick to respond and address the issue.

Convenient Location but too pricey

A well kept and clean building, Highview Castle Manor is right near several great restaurants/bars/stores for shopping. Drawbacks include no central heating and costly price for just one bathroom shared between two students. Overall, a nice place to live.

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.
Reviewed by Washington DC Resident living at Adams Court Condominiums
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
Reviewed by Howard Med Student living at Highview Apartments
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.
Reviewed by Howard Med Student living at Highland Park at Columbia Heights
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.
