Great Place

My apartment is a converted one bedroom into two bedrooms. Its enough for two people. The people working in the apartment complex are really nice.

Awesome place to live

Great housing - is extremely helpful and quickly responds to any maintenance requests. Despite the widespread crime all across . My only complaint is that I wish they would clean the windows. Clean the pavement and Overall, I have no regrets! Thanks

Great Location

I have been living in the Statesman for a few months now and I really like the location being so close to classes at GW. The downsides are that laundry is expensive, there are no major amenities, and the grocery store is not as close as I'd like it to be.

Great for GW students

This apartment building is incredibly convenient if you are a student at GW. Foggy Bottom is an expensive neighborhood, but sharing an apartment at the Statesman is still cheaper than sharing a dorm as a junior or senior. My 8th floor apartment faces west, so we get great sunlight in the afternoon. Management can be a little slow to respond to emails, but in general, living in the Statesman is great.

Great for Students

The Statesman is great for students. Conveniently located on GWU's campus, the building is close to all campus buildings and classes. The only drawback it the building is primarily students so expect weekend parties and some loudness is the hallways.

The Statesman

Great if you want/ need to live in Foggy Bottom. But if you don't have to live in Foggy Bottom, I wouldn't choose the statesman. It's great for what it is and you can't beat the location if you want to be near GW, but you can get more somewhere else for the price.

The Statesman - awesome location

If you want to live close to campus, it's great. But it can get loud because of the undergrads who live in the building. Expensive for what you're getting, but you can't beat the location.

Awesome apartment experience

The Statesman is an excellent place to live. There are tons of GW grad students, as well as a good mix of young professionals. The management and staff are really friendly and seem to genuinely care about doing a good job. The apartments themselves are spacious and look pretty nice. Because of all the students, it can get pretty loud depending on your neighbors but the walls are pretty thick and insulate noise well.

Superiority over alternatives

Because it's commercially managed, you rarely have troubles with the landlord .Work orders are submitted electronically and get resolved within 2 days sometimes hours. The rent fee does not exceed those of other alternatives. I cannot give a 10/10 for its burdensome rent, which is yet well vindicated by its location in DC and proximity to GW Law.

Too many rowdy undergrads

I live in this building because of it's excellent location, it is only 2 blocks from the law school. However, this convenience comes at a price, I regularly have to deal with rowdy undergrads who Make noise until 4am. The walls are paper thin so I hear everything. Also, whenever someone smokes in their apartment the smell leaks into mine. My studio is pretty spacious and my windows let in the sunlight. the maintenance people are great. I wish I could bring my car but garage parking is an additional 270 per month which is not doable on a student budget. there are plenty of washers and dryers in the basement ($1.95 per load) and a mini gym with a few weights and treadmills. There's no special amenities in the building that are worth noting.

Love this area, right near Logan Circle and 14th street which has so much good food and nightlife!
Amazing neighborhood. Close to GW and close to so much good food and nice restaurants.
Sometimes noisy, but the front desk quickly deal with it if you ask
Great, Safe neighborhood with great food and close to campus.
Foggy Bottom/West End are great for 1Ls -- you will get to know the area around school and you will be conveniently within a few blocks of GW. There are a lot of food options, but night life is lacking (though you're a short walk to DuPont and Georgetown). There are plenty of busses and metros around.
Good only in the sense that it is near the school, that you can receive warnings from the school and D.C. (if signing up), that you can be assured of safety generally even if coming in late due to pulling off night studies in the library. However, noise levels are high, so you can hardly study indoors at home because of people wanting to earn money in exchange for their loud and terrible performances. This means that you may ultimately end up outside for work or rest during morning/afternoon. Noise in the evening can be high too due to some people having gone drunk. Noise (some loud trucks and mostly machine sounds) and lights can be too much for sleeping deeply.
It's really only convenient because of how close the law school is. Otherwise, I would not live here. Definitely a business/corporate area that shuts down on the weekends. Not a lot of options for going out to eat unless it's either overpriced or fast food. The only grocery store that's walking distance is Whole Foods, which I personally hate shopping at.
The Aston is the furthest GW housing from the campus, so we had to walk more than any other student to get to class. We are also the furthest away from any Metro station, but still not considerably far when you look at the big picture. There are grocery stores, bars, and restaurants nearby which is a perk, but it is pretty noisy around here. But I guess that's anywhere in Downtown DC. There are always cars honking, ambulance sirens, etc. But the area seems pretty safe.
