Alban Towers -- great location in DC!

I have been living in Alban Towers for almost a year now, and so far the living experience in this area has been great! Friendly staff, great amenities, and outstanding community around you. This is a very well-maintained building. My fiancee and I consider making it our second home. I will definitely be recommending the Alban Towers to other colleagues.

Stunning building, great amenities, far from Metro

The building is amazing and extremely well-managed. The lobby is gorgeous and the amenities are impeccable - the gym has everything you could need, there is a business center with Mac computers and printers, and the concierge is always available to help with any issues. The apartments are renovated and beautiful. Garage parking and free guest parking. Quick walk to Whole Foods or Giant grocery stores and a variety of restaurants. Only negative is distance from Metro - commutes downtown usually require a bus and a metro.

Historic Building with Amenities

Alban Towers is a great place to live. It is quiet and has wonderful amenities (gym, rooftop, club room). There is a diverse group of residents (college, young professionals, young families, and older individuals). The apartment building is currently in the process of updating and restoring a handful of community spaces.

Perfect for 1

Alban Towers is wonderful. Great neighborhood, beautiful building, and great staff. The studio is great, shaped like an "L" so feels like theres some separation and a much bigger kitchen than you'd expect! I would highly recommend to everyone.

Great Location, Managment Declining

Alban Towers is perfectly situated for my finacee and I; it is less than two miles for both of us from work and sits in a relatively residential area of DC. However, the management of the building has steadily been declining since we moved in a little over 3-years ago.

Reviewed by AmericanU Graduate Student living at Idaho Terrace
Sometimes, if the bus is unreliable, I end up walking home at night. I have never felt unsafe because Massachusetts avenue is always populated with other students and cars (don't push it if it's after 10 p.m., though, anywhere in the world as a young woman). There are many older people who smile and greet me when I walk outside. There are also tons of what I call the "Lulu lemon moms" in their athleisure running uphill with the stroller. Compared to other parts of DC, it is quiet and full of nature. If you walk two blocks east, you reach Wisconsin Avenue and it becomes busy and loud. If you walk a long block west, you reach campus, and it's also hectic. But this neighborhood is nestled in between and almost feels like a suburb.

Overall it's a nice and quiet area. In addition, it's quite safe with serious crimes being few and far between. However, it's somewhat far from the nearest metro station (Tenleytown-AU). Also, there are not many restaurants/bars nearby, so going out generally involves public transit, rideshare, etc.
Reviewed by AmericanU Graduate Student living at Skyline Towers Apartments
Quiet area with lots to do. It's a good mix of college students, young professionals, and families. Pretty safe. The only downside is, while it has bus stops, there's no access to the metro. So if you live in this area you would need a car or be willing to have a fairly difficult commute depending on where you're going.

The neighborhood here is beautiful with lots of trees, places to walk, and access to the Georgetown waterfront. There are a lot of families that live here and elderly people so it's a little farther from some of the night life in D.C. but if you are willing to split a ride with friends or hop on the bus it is very doable.

A note: although the neighborhood is pet friendly, the building does not allow pets.

Overall, it's beautiful here and a nice escape from the craziness of law school life.
Reviewed by AmericanU Graduate Student living at Idaho Terrace
Relatively peaceful, quiet, and green neighborhood that’s not too far away from the bustling and louder college residences or town markets. Very walkable, close to the wooden trail, and easy access to transit.

Close to campus, Wegman's & Giant Food nearby, nice neighborhood.

Not all that walkable, restaurants are a little far

It's very quiet. If you're looking for more of a night life and action this probably isn't the neighborhood for you
