Everything is within walking distance including groceries, metro stations, gyms and cafes. It can get louder at nights, but generally, the place is quiet as it is surrounded by offices.

Foggy Bottom includes the GWU campus, so it's obviously very safe, plus we have a bunch of US federal agencies and the university hospital, so there's a strong police presence. There are a good number of homeless persons living in some of the parks, but they're harmless.

In terms of food, there's some decent food places, but not many. Georgetown, West End, and Dupont are within walking distance, so that's not so much of an issue. There's a Whole Foods and Trader Joes within a 15-minute walk from my apartment, but I prefer to drive to the Georgetown or Columbia Heights Safeway because they have cheaper/more options.

There are always places to eat and things to do. Also the apartment is only about 1 mi from the Mall so it's great if you are a runner. In terms of getting to work it typically takes me 50min-1 hour on the metro one way and the metro stop is a couple of blocks from the building. I typically drive to work which (by commuting slightly before peak morning traffic and slightly after peak evening traffic) is around 35-40 min one way. The building is right off of 395, which means you don't have to do too much city driving ever.

In terms of proximity to school, the location is perfect. There aren't a lot of bars and restaurants close by (though there are some), but a 24-hour CVS, grocery store, liquor store, coffee shops, fast-casual places all within about a 5 minute walk so it doesn't feel inconvenient, it's just quiet on the weekends and by no means a center of nightlife.

I love the location - pretty close to everything you want - shopping, entertainment, restaurants, bars, public transportation, etc. I also like the residential feel of the area, unlike apartment buildings down in Chinatown. Unfortunately, there is some higher rates of car break ins and robberies in the neighborhood, due to a relatively affluent population adjacent to lower income areas. Additionally, there has been a crackdown on prostitution in the area - I saw a few women in the early morning hours, and I am glad the police are focusing on this issue. Other than the normal problems of lack of parking, a very attentive police team writing tickets, I love the area!

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.

The neighborhood is great. I am close to work; close to the law school I attended; close to Safeway (and I would highlight close to Walmart, but they have been dropping off lately, i.e. not selling extension cords and other common things you would expect and continually shrinking their product selection); and you are also close to several different metro lines and all sorts of entertainment in the area. This neighborhood is an outstanding one to live in.

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.

The lanes are relatively well-lit and can be used at any time of the day or night. Since the GW police vehicles are seen patrolling late at nights,I believe the streets within the foggy bottom campus area are safe and secure for any one to walk, with no reported issues so far.

Winston House is far away enough from campus that you can walk around without seeing students everywhere you go, but still allows you to get to class on time.

Downsides are it can feel a little bit sketchier than other neighborhoods at night and does not have quite as good of a food/bar/shopping scene as 14th St area or Dupont. It is also a little bit far from the metro.

Traffic and sirens can make it a noisy place, especially if your unit faces a major street.

Chinatown is great because there is always something to do and lots of good bars and food nearby (and it's just a short walk to the Safeway). The area feels safe because there are always people around. That said, all the excitement means it can be loud and Verizon Center events can clog up public transportation. Biggest downside is the distance from campus.

Chinatown is rough. There's plenty of people looking for a fight or drugs. I've been assaulted by somebody and have helped a guy out of the street after he was beat up. Drug deals are common.
For my grad students, coming back from classes that end at 11:00pm is rough. Even the 8:00pm ones mean you'll be coming back around 9:00pm. If you're taking evening classes, get back as early as possible. Unfortunately this neighborhood just isn't safe at night. Additionally, you've got plenty of food options. Most are fairly mediocre and way too expensive. A Safeway is very close by though, so groceries aren't an issue aside from being more expensive than if you went to Walmart.
