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

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.

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

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

Central Place is a great place to live. Nicest building and apartments I've seen (I visited 6-7 different buildings before moving). Beautiful amenities. Really convenient location for school—only 1 block from GUTS bus. Highly recommend.

Great new construction. High-end amenities. Great Location.

This really is the perfect place to live. The only problem, and I mean only problem, is that you are an Uber or Metro away from all of your friends, bars, and restaurants in DuPont and Logan. Luckily, the Metro and the GUTS bus stops are literally right outside. Fast casual healthy food right next door is a major plus for me.
