The Bartlett

For the most part its been great. Its a good mix of families, older couples, and college students so the apartment complex isn't too loud. There is a lot of construction going on in the area as the new Amazon headquarters is being built across the street. There is a pool, several lounge areas, and a nice gym. Management and the front desk have been easy to get a hold of and are typically very accommodating. The apartment complex is also very convenient as it is located right down the street from the metro and is above a whole foods. The apartments are one of the more affordable nicer options in the area as well.

IN LOVE

This apartment complex is only two years old and I absolutely love it here. It's about a 35 minute commute to campus (door to door). It's located a 5min walk from the metro and is right near a Starbucks, mall, restaurants, Costco, TJMaxx, the works. It also has a Whole Foods and coffee shop IN THE BUILDING. It has a rooftop pool, with a great view of the city, and a huge gym. Additionally, it has a large work bar where you can use desktop computers and print for free.

Great New Building

The building was built within the last year and has a great view of the city/Pentagon. It's a pet friendly building with all the amenities you need. Basically, the view and amenities is what caught my attention. It's also conveniently located near the mall.

The surrounding is managed in perfect order. The street is clean and tidy. People are friendly to everybody else. It is common to see people walking their well-trained dogs.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Crystal Towers
The crime level is much lower than across the river. The homes nearby are fairly expensive, police/fire station is two blocks away, and the Pentagon is 20 minutes away by foot.

There are also parks nearby and trails, lots of people exercising, and pets.

Whole Foods and Costco are within walking distance (less than 5 minutes).
Pentagon mall is also nearby.
Reviewed by GW Nursing Student living at The Gramercy At Metropolitan Park
We live in Pentagon City in Arlington, and if you are familiar with Arlington, you know the Arlington police and fire are very active. The DEA headquarters, Pentagon, and FBI (alongside a slew of other government agencies) are all within this area, and overall, this makes the city highly monitored. We do feel safe here and there's a large multicultural feel to the city as well with lots to do.
Reviewed by Jake, GW Law Student living at Crystal Towers
Lots of bars and restaurants, from cheap Chinese takeout to fine dining, with plenty of international/ethnic options. There's a great gay bar, several sports pubs, a few trendier places, and a strip club that I've never been into, but is supposed to have great food. Easy access to DC on the blue or yellow line. Shopping in the Crystal Arcade or at Pentagon City Mall (5 minute walk). There's also a Costco.

There are lots of community events during the summer. The Water Park (a small park with fountains, hammocks, a cafe, and a giant chess board) is an excellent place to work, study, read, or have lunch.

I have never once felt unsafe or been worried about crime in this neighborhood. It's pretty quiet. Because of the large number of hotels and proximity to the airport, I see lots of tourists.

This area seems to target visitors and government personnel. As such, I wish it had more of a community or culture. Crystal City (which is darn close to where we live) has a bit more of that and is within walking distance. Pentagon City does have a great shopping scene, including at least 2 grocery stores, and some pretty good restaurant options. While busy and noisy at times because of these amenities, government buildings, and the Reagan airport, our apartment complex buffers the outside pretty well. The nearby metro options and proximity to a ton of bike lanes and trails make this area very convenient to live in.
Reviewed by Washington DC Resident living at Post Pentagon Row
The neighborhood is great for all the shops and restaurants. I never need to leave it for the things that I need regularly. My only complaint is the lack of any character. All the shops are chains, no local restaurants. And any sort of free parking is especially hard to come by on nights and weekends. However, since I spend most of my time in DC (work and social), it's an easy place to live for commuting purposes.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at The Aura
Pentagon City is a great experience that is only about to get better with the new Amazon building and the influx of youth it will bring. It is a ways from DC which makes getting with friends difficult because they don't want to come to Arlington, and getting to DC requires 30 minute notice and planning.
