Great little building with amazing finishes

We love our apartment. It's really small but the kitchen is great and the finishes are solid--the floors are original and gorgeous and the oven/fridge are brand new and work amazingly. The bathroom is cozy but everything works well and we've never had an issue with plumbing. We love the modern touches coupled with the classic fixtures.

The bedroom only has one window but we don't spend a lot of time in there and when we are in the bedroom it's a good thing that it's dark! The manager of our building lives below us and he's really helpful and available. There are only 7 units in the building so it's quiet and everyone is very nice. We even have a little back patio area and a few driveway parking spots.

The neighborhood is really convenient. We're really close to target, the metro and to-go restaurants like starbucks and chipotle, but we're not right in the middle of it. We're also less than a mile from the U street area and the restaurants and bars on 11th street. There are a bunch of bus lines just outside the door.

So far, I love living in columbia heights. I live at the southern-most part, so I'm in walking distance to many neighborhoods (logan circle, adams morgan, shaw). There are many restaurants, shops, and bars that are close by. I also love living so close to the college of medicine. I ride my bike everyday and it only takes me 5 minutes each way.

I love this neighborhood, there are grocery stores and a Target in walking distance, as well as tons of locally owned restaurants and bars. It's also close to Rock Creek Park. There are three farmers markets within walking distance.

Vibrant, diverse, hub of the city. Walking distance to world-class restaurants. Several grocery store options nearby. Walkable to nightlife (Adams Morgan, U Street/Shaw, 14th).

Overall neighborhood is pretty good, the apartment has had 24 hour security as well which has made me feel safe as well

Columbia Heights has a lot of great neighbors. There is a lot of crime though especially if you get closer to the Metro station where shootings occur frequently. This apartment building is far enough away from that are so it feels safe though. It can also be really loud if you're in the crowded parts. But people are friendly.

I really like the Columbia Heights, because it feels much more like the authentic "DC" than the Foggy Bottom area. It's close to the 14th Street corridor and also Adams Morgan corridor where there are a lot of restaurants/bars/shops, but still has a neighborhood feel to it. It's a little bit farther from campus, but the 2 mile walk to/from school is my built-in exercise/decompressing time for the day. I really like having physical separation from school, and there are bus several bus lines within close proximity, as well as a metro stop nearby. Some of the most affordable housing in DC (that is compatible with having class in GW) is in the Columbia Heights area. There are many "group houses" that often pop up on Craigslist where you can pay a more reasonable amount for a bedroom in a house with other roommates.

Easy access to Malcolm X/Meridian Hill Park. Most restaurants are a 10-15 minute walk away. Metro does not give easy access to GW, it is faster to bike
Reviewed by DC Resident living at 1429 Girard Street
Nowhere else in DC is there such a melting pot of culture, food and things to do. Everything is in walking distance and there is no need for a car. If your are a foodie your a few blocks from U street or Adams Morgan,
