I have lived here for almost two years without problems or complaints. It's less than a minute to Rosslyn metro station. The management company and the staff are all very professional and responsive. Super quick to help or provide maintenance always. The amenity is nice and clean. The area is great, too, with many restaurants, and you can walk to Georgetown or Clarendon. Highly recommended.

Convenient location, great building with awesome amenities.

I choose Central Place based on reviews from former students, and it was spot on. Extremely convenient to for travel, as the metro is less than a block away. GUTS is an even closer walk which was a determining factor in my decision - the only stop is here and campus so the ride is very fast (15-25 min from walking out my apartment to entering Hariri building).

24 hours McDonald's and Wise Guys pizza that's open until midnight on weekends underneath the building is welcoming and dangerous for my diet - aside from that, there are limited late night dining options, will need to rely on delivery.

The 1 bed 1 bath apartment I have was a little smaller than expected, one downside is no windows in the bedroom - but the floor to ceiling windows in the living room offer great lighting during the day and excellent views. You will need to have additional lighting (lamps, string lights) if you plan on working or studying late at night, the given track lighting isn't sufficient enough.

All other amenities are top notch, including 6th floor lounge area, gaming room, pool, and gym is amazing.

Concierge is extremely friendly and helpful, they go above and beyond. Management is quick to respond to email (within 24-48hours), it can be difficult to get a hold over the phone sometimes, so I found email the best method of communication.

Great place to stay - ease of access!

I have never lived anywhere on my own outside of LA (and without a car) so I needed a place where it was secure, had close proximity to Georgetown, easy access to public transportation, and away from rampant homelessness. I also value an amenities area given if there would be another pandemic lockdown, I wouldn't be isolated to my studio (even though it is spacious). Many classmates value being around Dupont or other nightlife areas, but I value a more reserved environment. I love that I have walking trails next door to me and that down the street I can walk to restaurants within a pleasant 1-mile distance - at first I didn't want to walk since I was used to driving everywhere in LA, but I adjusted pretty well. I love that the Georgetown shuttle is on the corner of my building and that the public metro station is right across the street. Central Place also has a Tesla amenity service that if I ever need a car, I can rent it on the spot through an app - I've used it about 3 times and it has been a fantastic service. The gym at Central Place is super nice and equipment is sufficient enough that I hadn't had the need to go to the Gold's Gym across the street. I also love that Assembly is also across the street where I can grab a coffee/lunch/dinner and do my homework in their large outdoor and indoor space areas. Property management has been very attentive and has always been responsive to my requests. A downside is that if you are in a lower level floor you might hear traffic from the street, but it isn't too disruptive (this was a complaint a classmate had - he lived on the 7th floor). I dislike that the pool is only open during the summer - I wish I had known that, but it's okay since I negotiated out the amenities fee when I moved in during the pandemic.

Great management and location across from the metro.

Can't be happier

Living here feels like living at a hotel. The staff are impeccable.

The apartment is on the more expensive side especially for the Arlington area, but the units are very modern and have floor-to-ceiling windows for plenty of sunshine. The building has a gym, BBQ/outdoor lounges, a pool, business center, game room, and a residential kitchen. They do have parking for an additional cost but honestly, the GUTS shuttle stop and the metro station is right behind the building so haven't had the need to even have a car.

A little bit expensive, but you get a lot of bang for your buck. Nice, reliable place to live as a student.
