For young people
I've been living in this apartment building for almost two years now. I work right across the street so it's pretty convenient for me to comminute in the mornings. The inside of the apartment needs a little bit more work. I wouldn't have chosen to stay here if it wasn't for my job.

Nothing special...
Avalon is really average on everything but the price. I moved here for work purposes, but I might move soon because it's not worth the price. If you prefer to live in a quiet area, Avalon might not be your best bet. The amenities are okay, but the gym could be better.

Average apartment
Avalon is alright for students who want to have a walking distance to American University. A lot of AU students live here, and they are pretty friendly. I've been living here since my freshman year and I think It's pretty convenient. There are some nearby restaurants and supermarkets. Metro is about 1 mile.

Good choice for students
The Avalon is located in a pretty nice area. There are a lot of trees kind of separates the building from noisy street. Compare to other apartments in the area, Avalon is a little bit over priced, but it's also very close to the campus, it's less than 10 minutes walk. I personally enjoy staying here.

Not worth the price
I've been living in Avalon for ...ever. Mostly because I couldn't leave the school area. For the amount of money that I pay each month, I would say Avalon definitely isn't worth the price tag. Our gym is pretty old, and often smelly during the summer. The pool on rooftop is tiny, and a lot of students bring friends over so it's always crowded. The management team is not very responsible for problem reported. You just really have to be patient with them.

The Issue with a Pseudo Oligopoly
School adjacent apartments justify price with location but forget all other aspects that involve good living. I wouldn't recommend but the front desk staff are the best aspect of this place. BTW: they won't reimburse for major water leaks: renter ins

Love the Avalon
Social and fun the Avalon is a great place to live. The front desk staff is always friendly and the coffee fresh. With its close proximity to American, Georgetown and many other favorite D.C. amenities it is a great value for its cost. Ideal for young people and students.

Poor Location but Not Bad
The Avalon at Foxhall has all of the hallmarks of a quality luxury building: well appointed apartments, washer/dryer in-unit, rooftop pool, gym on-site and underground parking. Its location, however, is troublesome. For those commuting downtown, the only real option is the city bus that picks up outside the building. Unless you are working in Dupont or near Farragut Square, this means a connection to the Metro's Red Line. A commute to Gallery Place can often take well over an hour on most days. The other major issue with this building is the abundance of American University students. While most students are respectful and well-behaved, building management does little to rein in those who are not. Much of the time it feels like living in a fraternity house instead of a luxury apartment building. When my lease expires, I will be moving to a property away from universities and near the Metro.

Decent living
The Avalon at Foxhall is a good apartment for students, but management does not take students seriously. For this price, there should be granite countertops and dependable hot water. Neither are the case. The rooftop pool is excellent in the summer, and is probably the most worthwhile part of the building. The gym is decent but poorly air conditioned.

Great building
Great building, a bit out of the way unfortunately. You aren't living in the city for "going out" or by the nicest restaurants, but you are paying for what you get. The building is nice, amenities great, and the neighborhood is safe and quite residential.
