Daro Management Services

Great location and management!

I have enjoyed living in this building for the most part! The location is PERFECT - it is only a mile away from GWU or two stops on the Metro. It's less than a 10 minute walk to the Metro station and there are lots of restaurants, bars, and grocery stores nearby. The area feels pretty safe but I am not very impressed with the building security. I've had a few issues with management and staff at the building, and they don't enforce security so there are often random people coming who clearly don't live there, but the front desk staff don't say anything. However, my unit is updated and seemed almost brand new when I moved in. The kitchen is really nice and the closet is huge. Each unit has its own AC unit that you can control, but the building controls the heating. There is a laundry room in the building, but no gym. Overall been a decent experience!

Lively neighborhood, stress free comfortable living

Great property with renovated apartments. The staff are incredible and very helpful. A front desk person is there from 8am to midnight. Love the location in Logan.

I love living in Logan Circle. The apartment is about a 20-25min walk to campus. All the people that work at The Phoenix are helpful and care about your well being. The closet space for a studio is pretty great!

Great neighborhood

Close to Dupont GUTS shuttle, Metro, grocery stores, restaurants, and bars. And a fair price for the area. The biggest drawback is the kitchen, they are very small.

Our apartment has a lot of light and space, and is a great layout. However, in the past year the building has been under construction (and there is no end in sight). The water is frequently turned off or cold, the construction is SUPER dirty and very loud. The building has parts that are OPEN TO THE OUTDOORS at all times. There currently isn't a floor in the basement. Management has done NOTHING to appease the current residents or make renters feel like they are concerned with our well-being.

Nice quiet location and decently sized for a 1-bedroom, but the building is undergoing a massive renovation. It is extremely disruptive and we are moving in a week due to the ongoing construction. The management company, Daro, has tried to minimize the disturbances, but we can't deal with it anymore.

It is great being right next to the metro. The building itself is nothing special, but the location in Cleveland Park is great. The laundry machines downstairs are overpriced, like everything in DC, but at least we've got them. In any other city, I would consider our apartment a rip-off, but for DC I guess it's a pretty good deal.

I have loved living in this location--it is quiet and quaint, perfect for families and young professionals looking for a great place to live that has direct access to DuPont and downtown. I have never felt unsafe in this neighborhood, although it lacks the nightlife and bar/restaurant scene that young professionals seeks. I would recommend this location and apartment for young professions who desire to be a bit further outside of central DC but also like a neighborhood that is a bit more recluse. The units themselves are pretty large and have a lot of sunlight. Some views are better than others. Overall it is a safe place to live.

I've lived in Cleveland Park over the last 3 years and its one of the safest and family-friendly neighborhoods in all of DC. While it isn't the center of nightlife, it's location is close enough to DuPont or 14th Street, and it is a relatively comfortable place to live. I feel safe walking from the metro to my building late at night. The apartment complex itself is less than stellar, but overall it's a good value with the amazing location and proximity to other great neighborhoods. Would highly recommend to young professionals.

This apartment complex is suitable for any young professional looking to have access to some of the best locations in DC--14th Street and DuPont circle. However, the management service in this building is so hard to work with that it may be worth reconsidering. They are so unresponsive to urgent needs of their residents. They also raise the rent every single year, despite being in a rent-controlled building. There has been construction in the building for years, and yet they still up the price. Even though there are absolutely no amenities in this building to compensate for such a rent increase.

In my 2+ years of living in this apartment complex, I have had multiple instances where the management company has been unresponsive and unwilling to help with my situation. In addition to their horrific response rate over email (They have repeatedly ignored my emails for weeks at a time), they even failed to change over my lease on time, which is a liability for both them and me. Similarly, they have raised rent even though the building is supposed to be "rent-controlled." The lobby and other common areas have been under construction the entire time I have lived there and nothing has improved. Poor management and lack of accountability.

Sedgwick Gardens is in a safe, convenient location. The building is is pretty basic -- no real amenities and the units are nothing special, but I get a lot of space at a pretty reasonable price. $1500 for a studio is pretty hard to beat in DC. It's an older building so there is a lot of on-going repair and things break from time to time, but I haven't had any major issues so far. Would definitely recommend for young professionals who want to live in downtown without breaking the bank.
