It's okay here...

It's okay here, I don't really like the building at all. Looking for a new place. Although it is really close to the bus stop and fairly close to me school ( it is about a 15-20 minute walk). Overall I guess the only thing that I have to complain about is that I really don't think the rent is proportionate to what I have. But, that's most of the places in this neighborhood.

Old Building

Clarence House looks a bit old, but my apartment was renovated recently and my husband and I are very happy here. Not too noisy as we are not directly on Connecticut avenue. There's a lot of light (4th floor) and we have a very friendly staff. It's about a 10 minute walk to Van Ness (Red Line) metro station. There are also lots of restaurants and shops in the area. Generally a pretty lively neighborhood!

About Van Ness

Once the site of the Civil War, Van Ness has changed itself to embrace art, culture, cuisines and fashion. Places from Acacia Bistro for Mediterranean cuisine to the ideal urban escape at Rock Creek Park are well liked by most of the locals in the area during the weekends. The Hillwood Museum and Ga...

Safe, safe safe! I can walk at night and I have never felt unsafe. very residential area so not a TON of restaurants/bars, but very close to the grocery store. Quiet and lots of families.

Haven't had any issues in the neighborhood. Everything is fairly quiet. Almost too quiet if you are a city person.

It's very quiet and residential, but close to Tenleytown and Cleveland Park bars and restaurants.
Reviewed by AmericanU Graduate Student living at Connecticut Heights
Pretty quiet neighborhood as far as DC neighborhoods go. I personally really like that about it as I prefer a quiet, darker, more residential scene, but maybe others would like it to be 'more happening.' It's a short ride to busier areas like DuPont or Adams Morgan though.
Reviewed by DC Resident living at Connecticut Heights
The area is quite suburban, especially off connecticut avenue. Plenty of parks and green space, which makes it great for pets. There are a few cafes, but no nightlife to speak of, and nearby grocery stores are definitely smaller and dated.
Reviewed by AmericanU Graduate Student living at Connecticut Heights
The complex is filled with either students, early-mid career professionals, or older retired individuals. The building is typically safe but I would suggest moving to a higher floor. The commute from tenley town circle to the apartment can be dangerous at night. My GF and our other roommates has been repeatedly stalked back to the building, chased, and even assaulted at gun point (turned out to be a fake gun). So please be aware of this. (I know this is not unique to this commute).

The neighborhood is very safe, but sleepy. There is no nightlife – most local restaurants close by 9pm every day.

Van Ness is a great neighborhood.
