Great Location

Imperial House boasts a great location- very close proximity to the Dupont Circle Metro, access to the 17th Street restaurants and nightlife, and an easy walk to the 14th St/U St. corridor. Experience in the building itself depends on whether the unit has been updated- many have aging kitchens and bathrooms. Hardwood floors and great, panoramic views come with most units. The rooftop is an older one, without amenities like a pool or new seating, but it has met my needs well. Not a building for those who value amenities over location.

Good building for the price

I've been happy living at the Imperial House. The location is pretty convenient and the building is pretty nice. There is a Safeway within a 5 minute walk which is a life saver and the Dupont Circle Metro stop is really close.

Furnished 1 bedroom in great location

I lived in this building (The Imperial House) for 2 years and have had little to no issues. The apartment itself is perfectly fine for what I needed - it's fully furnished and move-in ready. All I had to bring was a suitcase! The location is also great - 2 blocks from Dupont circle. My only complaint about the building is that the "doormen" do not do anything but sit behind the desk and hand you packages. They are not very friendly and will never help you with the door, regardless if you need the help. They expect you to let yourself in with your key fob and will NEVER open the door even when they know it's you and that you live there. It's a bit annoying, but other than that, the building has been great for school.

Reviewed by GW Med Student living at Westpark Apartments
Great neighborhood. Very walkable, even at night I always feel safe. Usually lots of people out and about. Young community, lots of bars and some awesome restaurants. Farmers markets and outside concerts in the warm months. Easy access to foggy bottom metro (15min walk) and dupont metro (5 min walk). Lots of green space (rock creek park). Georgetown 20 min walk with great shopping. 20 min walk to AdMo with great restaurants/bars

I love the neighborhood! Perfectly situated between Dupont Circle and Foggy Bottom. Walking distance to campus, while still being separate enough to feel independent. Tons of restaurants, bars, and stores around. The neighborhood feels very safe but is quiet and residential, too.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Hastings Court
Dupont Circle is a great area. I like that my block feels very residential, but I'm close to convenience stores, the Metro, and only a 15-20 minute walk to the law school. Sometimes I walk over to Georgetown, which is nice.

I have never felt unsafe walking home at night from campus. The area is mostly embassies and very fancy apartments and townhouses.

Amazing food and restaurants all within walking distance
Reviewed by GW Resident living at Hamilton House
Hamilton House is located in the crossings of West End, Foggy Bottom, and DuPont. It is a very clean, classy area. Super incredible how you can walk down the street to old-town DC, walk down another street and its all clubs and bars of DuPont, walk the other direction and its GW, walk another direction and its DuPont circle and all the incredible food. This is an ideal location, especially being situated right in between Foggy Bottom / GW Metro stop and the DuPont Metro stop.
