Claridge House Cooperative Review

Claridge House Cooperative Review

Claridge is great for students. It's in a great location very close to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and the GWU Hospital/Ross Hall. It is safe even at night because there is someone at the front desk 24/7. Parking, like anywhere in DC, is expensive, around $200 a month. Laundry is not in-unit and expensive ($1.90/wash, $1.90/dry), but accessible. The gym is small, but not crowded. The pool is only open for a limited time (summer season), which may not be ideal for all residents. Rent is unit dependent, but likely won't be your cheapest option. Haven't had any problems with rodents. No problems with heating.

Nice
-good location
-experience depends on landlord and if they suck or not
-gym kinda small
-pool on roof
-no roof hangout area - its on the bottom floor and closes at 9pm

Nice location but expensive; very close to the hospital, GWU, the metro, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods. There are issues with the pipes and they are frequently shutting the water off. There is a gym but the equipment is pretty old. No issues with rodents or pests.

Very friendly staff, gym small but convenient, clean building

Claridge is a co-op, so each unit will look different. I like my unit; it was updated recently so the kitchen and bathroom are relatively nice. I have a really big closet space for a studio apartment. The location is great, it's close to school but not right next door like some other housing options may be. The street is nice and quiet, and the front desk concierge and management are kind. Haven't had any issues with rats/mice/bugs.

Good Place for 1Ls

I have lived here for a little over two years. When I first moved in, I had a lot of issues with my landlord. The apartment was dirty, my carbon monoxide alarm kept going off, it needed to be painted, etc. But once I got all of those issues figured out, I haven't had a problem. My apartment is small, but super user-friendly. It has a huge closet and a giant window. The rent is great for this area, its a quick walk to Whole Foods, the metro, and the GW Law building. The building could do things to be safer. There is a scan-in on the front door, but pretty much anyone can get past it. There is a scan in on the doors before the elevator, but they only activate at night.
