Newly renovated, safe, & close to metro

220 Twentieth is a great building. About a 15 minute metro/drive to the law school. Floor to ceiling windows in all of the apartments, stainless steel appliances, and lots of closet space. Management responds to any request within 24 hours, but usually they respond within a few hours.

Great Apt Complex in Crystal City

Great location - minutes away from the metro (in fact you never even have to go oustide) - This is one of the more expensive buildings in Crystal city - but you get a beautiful apartment with new appliances and granite in return, plus super friendly staff. There's even a dog park! Beautiful views of DC from the roof deck, as well as a roof deck pool. Maintenance is super responsive to apartment issues (although not as responsive to issues with the building itself (1/2 of the grill on roof is still not working after nearly a year).

Awesome location in Crystal City

This apartment building is a bit expensive but it is in a great location in Crystal City. It is surrounded by numerous restaurants and stores, walking distance to the metro, and is an overall friendly environment.

Crystal City has been a convenient place to live because I work there. However, it is not the most accessible to AU. I leave work early, but I don't have enough time to metro there, so I have to take an Uber from work, but it's manageable because I only go to campus twice a week. Although that's a little inconvenient, the area is very safe for a woman living alone, and it's very easy to get to downtown DC. There are many restaurants and grocery stores nearby, as well as the Pentagon City mall, which is within walking distance. My only complaint is that there is a lot of construction.

Extremely safe and friendly neighborhood. I have gotten very involved in my local Catholic church that is right down the street. You can instantly tell the difference when you leave DC that your environment has changed. The people are friendly, you are not scared that you will get robbed, and there are no signs of blight. I would highly recommend the area.

Overall, Crystal City is a great place to live, and often overlooked when compared to Pentagon City. This is a pretty suburban area, with a mix of homes and apartment complexes. There are tons of restaurants nearby, and it's enjoyable since they're mostly walking distance. Added perk - Arlington Public Library tucked into the neighborhood between the main Crystal City area and surrounding Pentagon City area.

If you have a family it’s great, if your single it’s great also. Easy access to major highways and metro. Tons of activities and events through out the year. Safe environment to walk at night.

Generally a more commercial area, so it is pretty quiet at night. Crystal Drive is full of cool restaurants and bars.
Reviewed by GW Milken Student living at Quimby on 23
There are always people walking around in the neighborhood. They are either working adults on their way to lunch, military, or families going to eat. Community staples like the library, public pool, and outdoor space are only about a 10 to 15 minute walk. There is a lot of public green space and the "long bridge" is a great place to walk. If you have an active pet there is plenty of access to trails and sidewalks to ensure that they get the amount of exercise they need.

If you can find roommates, it is affordable. Just make sure you have the self-control to not eat out everyday!
Reviewed by McDonough MBA Student living at Crystal Plaza
The neighborhood is very walkable and has very accessible public transportation. It's not somewhere you typically would go out at night since nightlife is nonexistent, but Amazon just moved in and there is semblance of that changing. It's great if you are active (many gyms, parks, and Mt. Vernon Trail Access), enjoy restaurants like Chick Fil A (one right outside my building), and want to be close to everything.
Reviewed by Washington DC Resident living at Crystal House
It is close to almost everything. Metro? Check. Mall? Check. Grocery store? Check. Place to eat and drink? you betcha. I feel safe walking around at night. The only draw back is that there is a fire station close by and you get to hear the wailing of the sirens. You get use to them though.
