Building Complex Review

The building is nice. Rent just covers the apartment, amenities cost a down payment of $600, but due to covid it has been reduced to $90. The building has study rooms, gym, roof top and pool included in amenities. Things that are extra fees aside from just rent are water, electricity, internet, parking, trash collection, and pets. Obviously utilities like water, electricity, internet, and trash collection need to be paid along with rent so keep that in mind. Other things like pets and parking would have to be requested. Payment is easy as it can be done online via a direct deposit. The building is also very quiet.

The location is good for commuting to school, ~15min walk. The surrounding area has lots of stores, restaurants, pubs, park directly behind the building, and local clubs. There is also a Target going up 14th street and grocery stores going down 14th street. It is very nice, however crime has also been relatively high recently, but I have never had any issues personally.

During Covid-19 they had been providing a free month provided in the form of credit, so that helped lower the cost of living a bit. The area in general is pretty expensive, probably because of all the places nearby and is close to the school making living near campus a pretty expensive.

I have had a few maintenance issues living here, one was pretty bad and unexpected, not the fault of the building, just pipes were backflowing causing a flood in my apartment. I brought it to their attention, I waited about 8 hours and nothing happened. I have to pester the management to get it fixed the same day. That was a bit annoying because it was a rare and extremely bad situation, but in the end everything was fixed. I also had an issue with management while getting a lease on the apartment. Overall, they don't seem reliable to me but the front desk has been pretty good at getting things done when the management team can't. I would recommend being persistent about making sure they get things done. Other than those 2 instances I have not had any issues.

Location and rooftop

In a great location for young, social people who want to live in dc. Has an awesome rooftop with a pool and full kitchen and amazing views of the whole city.

Great location and cool modern amenities

I have enjoyed my first few months at Capitol View on 14th. From the beautiful Chihuly sculpture in the lobby, to the modern style of my apartment, to the friendly and helpful management, it's been great. The location is great with a lovely grocery store underneath as well as an Elevate fitness center. No complaints!

Great building but Pricey

This building is great with nice amenities and a convenient location; the cost however is a little bit expensive, though unfortunately, in-line with comparable buildings; the management is fairly responsive and available; constant elevator issues which should not happen as a result of the cost to live here; some issues with too many guests accessing the roof/pool.

Expensive but worth it

This is a pricey apartment, but the amenities are great and the location couldn't be beat! It does get a bit noisy at night, but you are located by all the bars on 14th street! It makes brunch on the weekends a must! The apartment is gorgeous, although there are a lot of 20-somethings who live there, go to Soul Cycle... that sort of crowd.

Columbia Heights Reviews

61 reviews
Columbia Heights is nearby lots of restaurants and bars and we live right next to the metro.
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.
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
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.
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).
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.
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,
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.
