Responsive to concerns, large space for the price but there’s definitely a cockroach problem

I love my apartment, it's super close very spacious has lots of sunlight and I love the company!

Columbia Plaza has been a great place to live as a student. It's relatively quiet, with most noise coming from the street (and sirens), which I am used to. I have had no safety issues, including the time my apartment door was left open (visitor's fault) for 12+ hours and nothing in my apartment was touched. I have had very few maintenance issues and management has responded promptly. Price is typical for the neighborhood.

Columbia Plaza's location is probably the only good thing about it. It is very old and outdated. It is expensive (parking is also expensive at over $200/month). There are bugs no matter how clean you are. Students live there to be close to school but it doesn't offer much else. The gym got redone and it is much nicer but for such a large apartment complex it is way too small.

Close to school, reasonable rent for the area and great apartment!

The apartment itself is incredible. It is huge and has two balconies, one with an incredible view of the Watergate and the Kennedy Center. Definitely the best bang-for-your buck in Foggy Bottom. That being said, the location is less-than-desirable for things to do. It is walking distance to GW, so it serves its function for what I wanted, but there is nothing around the building. Not ideal if you want a city-feel with bars and restaurants right outside your door.

Very nice for the price.

- Central A/C (warm enough in winter, almost cold enough in summer)
- If your apartment is clean, you won't have pests.
- No undergrads, so mostly serious people in this quiet building

Great apartment but management is difficult to deal with and elevators and such are broken often in the older buildings.

If you want o be close to GW campus and find a decent place with low rent, this would be the best option. Includes all utilities, the plaza has a market that has all you need.

The apt is nice. The kitchen, bathroom, and lighting is all out dated. I have also seen cockroaches in my apartment. I know that other apartments in the building have been infested with them. The leasing office has some very rude people to deal with. Luckily my interactions with them are few and far between. Front desk staff is a mixed bag. Some are super friendly, while others are not.
