Nice temporary home

Very happy living at idaho terrace for my last year of college. well kept, clean, friendly staff, quick and efficient response from service team, easy to get to, quiet neighbors, not enough storage within apartment though and can feel a bit outdated.

Winter Is Coming

Although you might think the building heat (that you don't pay for) is so high because of the large population of elderly in the building who are by far the friendliest tenants ... You would be wrong. It's just super hot and brings in too many mice.

Idaho Terrace Great for Students

Best choice for AU kids. Walking distance to campus - bus picks up right outside front door also. Great open rooms and beautiful views. Hard wood and clean appliances. Sunny and nice and clean. Management staff always on hand to assist. Very friendly.

Has gone down hill; but decent enough

When I first moved in the staff was lovely and pleasant. Any resident who has been here for more than a year remembers the former office manager, Johnathon. He was pleasant, helpful, new the residents, and incredibly outgoing. Since he left we have had a string on unpleasant, unhelpful, and incompetent employees at the office.

The location is good if you are an AU student, or take the N4 busline to wherever you work or go to school. But if you need the metro it isnt a good location for you. I like quietness of the area and there is a Giant within walking distance that just opened up and is very nice. Also a few great places to eat very close by (2 Amy's, Cactus Cantina, Cheff Geoffs, etc). The on-site Maintenance man, James, is really nice and always helpful.

It's the horrible customer service at the leasing office that has really brought down the overall review of Idaho Terrace. That and the fact that they seem completely disorganized when it comes to making necessary repairs to the building, including the desperately needed elevator update that has been going on for months and does not appear even halfway completed.

Amenities include on-site laundry and a small but decent gym. The office recently reduced its hours, so good luck ever being able to stop in if you work during the day. Overall its decent enough to live in, but don't expect much customer service from the office.

Pretty great!

It's in a quiet neighborhood. There aren't a lot of stores/nightlife areas nearby, but it is very close to a new Giant and a short walk to a Whole Foods. There are some good bus lines nearby (N buses and 30 buses) that will take you downtown. The building is older and it shows a bit on the inside. There is no 24 hour concierge but the office is open during reasonable hours. The office staff are usually very pleasant and helpful. The apartments are decently sized with lots of light. They are not upated, however. Would recommend!

Cathedral Heights Reviews

43 reviews
Relatively peaceful, quiet, and green neighborhood that’s not too far away from the bustling and louder college residences or town markets. Very walkable, close to the wooden trail, and easy access to transit.
I went into this a bit on my apartment review. I love living in an actual neighborhood. There's always kids and dogs running around so it feel super safe. I like the front yards, trees, and gardens - definitely doesn't give off the "concrete jungle" vibe. There's not a lot of traffic noise and everything is pretty well maintained. There's some gorgeous Embassies near by which are stunning to look at. Great area for jogging (if you're into that) and right by American without feeling like you live in a dorm.
It seems like if you live or work at AU, this is a great neighborhood for you. Also if you work on the N2/N4/N6 route and want to be sort of tucked-back into the semi-suburbs but won't be bothered by college kids, it's also a great neighborhood for that. Mass Ave South of campus is basically all apartments for a few blocks so that really is the neighborhood. Not that it's not a great neighborhood if you're not involved with AU, but since I went there, most of the people I know around here are affiliated with the school.
Cathedral Heights is a great neighborhood. It is close to a variety of bars, restaurants, grocery stores, and other useful resources. It is serviced by a variety of bus lines, but not any metro stops.
Because I've only been here during the pandemic I can't talk on the neighborhood too much, but everything is very walkable and has great restaurants and such.
It's very quiet. If you're looking for more of a night life and action this probably isn't the neighborhood for you
Very safe and lots of new restaurants popping up! Also very dog friendly. Walking distance to Giant.
An easy walk to school, and an amazing view of the national cathedral. Grocery shopping and restaurants are just a couple blocks away. The 33 bus line is very accessible and consistent. The only problem is that it is a 20+ minute walk to the closest metro stops (Cleveland park and Tenleytown metro stops).
