Great location and good but old building

I enjoy living at the Elaine. The rent has been steady and we pay a good price for it. Since the management has switched over, we get quick service usually. However, for the first time ever this past winter we were out of heat for days at a time a couple times during the season. It was the coldest days of the year and the coldest days in years. I called the emergency line and they only had a couple space heaters and they were all used so we stayed in a freezing apartment with old, poor insulation. This probably happened because it's an old building, but it's still not acceptable when we're paying this kind of rent. It is, though, a great part of the city, right across from the National Cathedral and a block away from the new Cathedral Commons shopping area. Easily accessible buslines are also helpful. Overall, I enjoy living here, and it looks like they are doing updates to make sure things work properly.

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.

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.

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
