So far, so good!

I've been living here since August 2021 and it has been the perfect space as a GW grad student. The studio is small but has lots of natural light and the kitchen has great counter space. The heating/AC unit is so nice. I love not needing a window-unit AC! The building is clean and the Super is friendly and helpful.

The apartment is within walking distance to GW's campus but is also far enough away that you feel like you're in a separate neighborhood. I've felt very safe in the neighborhood. The Foggy Bottom stop on the Metro is less than 10 minutes away and there is a Trader Joe's around the corner. Georgetown is literally steps away. West End is very quiet, so if you're looking for a party, you won't find it here.

I haven't had too many interactions with management since moving in. They were extremely slow to approve my application and send my lease which was concerning but ultimately I'm really happy with the building.

This isn't a brand new building that has a fancy pool or gym. But it is way more affordable than other buildings in the area. If you are just in need of a nice place to live, I would recommend the Shoremeade.

Great Location

Apartment building doesn't really have any amenities, although it does have on-site laundry machines. Management isn't great, tend to be unorganized. Great location for an amazing price.

Good price, good spot

An excellent price for a very clean and modern space. The space is relatively small, but sufficient for one person. Management company is very responsive and has an on-site manager for day-to-day problems. There was no security deposit required when I moved in. Love living here.

Perfect location

Older building but pretty well maintained and at a good price. Any issues in apartment are quickly fixed upon maintenance request. No amenities. Great location.

Comfortable, convenient, cost-effective

Perfect for working in Foggy Bottom. This apartment is on a quiet section of K Street (on the service road) very easy to get to Georgetown, DuPont, Logan, U Street, etc.
Comfortable and well-maintained property. Management is attentive and responsive to residents needs. The studio is small (380 sq ft) but good natural light makes it feel bigger. Walls are thick, never hear my neighbors. Recently upgraded heating and cooling in the entire building, no more window AC units and radiators!

Studio close to school

Affordable studio close to school and trader joe's, but limited sunlight and poor ventilation.

Good for the price

My apartment was completely renovated from scratch before I moved, so its a brand new and really nice. There are none of the standard amenities in most apartment buildings in DC, but can't beat the location - Trader Joe's is just a block away, 7 minutes to the metro, 15 minutes to Dupont Circle, 10 minutes to Georgetown. The location is far away enough from GW that you're not surrounded by undergrads. The building is a good mix professionals, young families, and retirees. I've had positive experiences with maintenance whenever I've had issues. For the price, it's a good value and I've enjoyed living here.

You get what you pay for

The building is noting to write home about, but it's cheap for the location, which is excellent.

West End Reviews

West End is fine. It's safe, there's easy access to transportation and plenty of supermarkets. But it's boring as anything - a neighborhood of hotels and office buildings. It's also overly pricey without really giving you much in return. As someone who had to move to DC on short notice - I picked West End based on location and little else - and I mostly came out of my time living here wishing I had done more research before signing my lease.
Safe neighborhood, great transportation hub with multiple bus stops less than a minute's walk from the apartment and a 5 minute walk to the metro. Some restaurants and bars nearby as well. Ten minute (at most!) walk to GW campus! My only gripe is that it's an expensive neighborhood but the apartment is competitively priced for the area.
The neighborhood is perfect. Ten minute walk to school, five minute walk to the metro. CVS and Walgreens just ten minutes away, trader joes just 3 minutes away, Whole Foods ten minutes away. There is a bus stop with a bunch of bus routes directly in front of the building. This neighborhood is also close to a bunch of other great neighborhoods, just a 20 minute walk to DuPont Circle and Georgetown where there are restaurants, bars, and stores. The monuments (the Lincoln) are only a 25 minute walk down 23rd street. There are numerous gyms nearby and the school gym is only a ten minute walk from the apartment. The area is probably the safest in the city and there is not a lot of noise over the normal city noise. It is next to the GW Hospital so ambulances going by can be annoying but not overly so. This neighborhood is great and close to every amenity.
I like the west end library and the l Trader Joe’s but other than that it is a little quiet and mostly filled with hotels. There aren’t very many food options either. It’s a close walk to Georgetown which is nice.
This neighborhood has everything a millennial needs - a CVS, Soulcycle, Sweetgreen, and great bars/restaurants. Highly recommend because it's quiet and really close to DuPont Circle and the GW Metro.
ONE BLOCK FROM TRADER JOES!! 5 min to Georgetown, 10 min to Dupont, 8 minute bike ride to campus. Bars & restaurants. Across the street from the dog park.
Hard to beat the Foggy Bottom area. Safe and close to everything you would need to be productive and have a great med school experience.
Some of the neighbors are great. It gets pretty dead very early here. There have been a few instances of intruders in the building.
