I love my apartment! It is expensive but I feel very safe and I’m really close to school

Apartment itself is fine, not necessarily luxurious but its very livable. The part of M Street near North Capitol St can be a little bit sketchy, but there's also not a ton down there so there isn't much of a reason to go near there. Its very close to the metro (about a 2-3 min walk) which is super convenient, and GW is only one a few stops and a transfer away!

Average Property

Very good amenities, not that you’ll use them all (like the indoor movie theater). But gym is great and community there is pretty cool. Great place if you have pets, convince Amazon lockers/fridge storage room and front desk service. But it’s a 40-55 minute commute to campus with the metro/AU shuttle and a 35 minute commute with the metro and a personal scooter.

Love my apartment. The commute can be a bit of a hassle sometimes, particularly when I'm staying at school later than the metro runs. However, because the commute is significant enough, I wind up going to school in the morning and staying until I finish my work. I really like that setup because it forces me to keep work and home separate, which means that at home I can actually relax.

I have only good things to say about this building. It is always extremely clean, staff is great, gym is amazing! When something is broken, someone comes up the next day and efficiently fixes it. Lots of natural sunlight, great location right near the metro.

Avalon is fun, with many amenities including a beautiful rooftop pool and jacuzzi. The management and staff are extremely helpful. My biggest complaint is the number of elevators. Sometimes it can take a long time to leave and get to my apt room, I have seen others become frustrated waiting for the elevator.

Very modern, clean, and safe. Amenities are the best I've seen. We have had quite a few maintenance requests; however, they respond and fix the problems within 24 hours. The apartment is pet friend and within 1 block of the metro. I highly recommend it.

Everything about this building has been great. The amenities are fantastic, apartments are updated and everything is clean and accessible. The only downside to this building is the location. NoMa is still very up and coming and there aren't many places to walk to other than Harris Teeter and CVS.

Pros: Beautiful building that's close to metro. Grocery store and Starbucks are within a one-minute walk. Amenities such as pool, kitchen, gym and cinema are well-kept and free to reserve!

Cons: No real restaurants or bars in the area, though when the weather is nice it's pretty easy to get to Chinatown or Shaw.
