Dolley Madison Towers provides a relatively cheaper housing option per bedroom than most places in the Arlington/DC area. There is a gym and a pool included in rent. The building is well kept and maintenance groups are very responsive.

It is only 15 minutes from Georgetown University front gates on a standard day.

Primary drawbacks are the location. The building is walkable to Shirlington, which has a great selection of restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. However, outside of walking to Shirlington, you’ll have to drive most other places. There is a bus on the block that takes you to metro hubs in pentagon city, but is not ideal for efficient commuting.

I lived here for the past three years and my experience has been grrat. The apartments are nenovated and have their own laundry which is really a big big plus for a medical resident. The staff are very helpful when I need anything to be fixed, etc. The apartment is very spacious. I have used the business center, the pool, the gym and the free day parking at ease. There are two things to be aware of. You have to have a car to live here as the metro station is a bit far (pentagon city is the closest). There is a bus station right across the street but still I feel for a medical resident, it is important either to live by a metro station or to have a car. Also, the apartments by the highway can get noisy. The other sode (gulf club) is way more quiet.

Good overall

Great place, super clean and lots of great amenities such as a gym, game room, pool, and printing room. They also have a market in the building which is awesome for when you need one or two things really quick and don't have time to run to the store.

Got a great deal for my 3 BR 2 BA and love it! Super clean, and no sign of bugs, roaches, etc like my old apartment! Also has great amenities (all included) that you probably wouldn't find in a lot of places...swimming pool, gym, computer/printing room, game room. There's even a mini market downstairs in case you need to get something quick and are too lazy to leave your building!

I have been a resident for over a year and have had no major issues since. One great thing is that our rent did not go up this year. I feel safe here, at least night we have the Arlington police officer and 24 hour concierge at the front desk. The security to use the elevators could be trickster tho. The market is a great amenity as well as the gym and the free printing in the computer room. Only wish they let us grill out by the pool in the summer and that the parking for a guest was free.

The apartment units themselves are extremely nice! Gym, office center with Mac computers, game room, and pool. The only thing we do not like at all is that overnight (6pm-9am) guest parking passes cost $5. Day-time guest parking passes (9am-6pm) are free however, they are only valid for 4 hours so every 4 hours you must get a new pass for your guest.

We LOVE it here at Dolley Madison! Washer Dryer, gas included, it's just a great community and place!There is TONS of closet space, good parking, free gym, beautiful lawns, lots of picnic and playground area. The management office is very friendly.

Compared to other apartments in the area, Dolley Madison is pretty adequate - it's very safe, near the Pentagon and 395, and pretty quiet. The cost of parking is way too high for what you get and utilities run high too, but it fulfills all my needs.

It is a great place to live if you're looking for a good rate! It isn't walk-able to much but super close drive to basically anywhere DC. There is no guest parking so that is my only compliant! Management is great about any issues, like if something breaks, they are always there that day or first thing the next.
