Great location + management

Great living here + maintenance requests are answered promptly + concierge is great.

In terms of amenities, the courtyard is a full city block, and that’s hard to beat.

Good for the price

For a studio in Mt. Vernon, it's a steal. However, the building is not as new as others in the area. It's a good trade off for price, since the building is new enough and in a great location.

Great price, medium apartment

It's great to be able to afford to live alone for a low price in a fairly pricey neighborhood. I haven't had any issues with the building itself. The main problem is amenity-envy of the buildings in the area with rooftop pools and brand new gyms. The location is great and it isn't too far to get to a metro station.

Love it here!

I love the apartment. It is a short bus ride away from campus on the Circulator or the metro, and is within walking distance from a lot of restaurants. Also, it is right above a 24/7 supermarket which is a huge bonus.

Great new neighborhood

There have been so many great restaurants and shops opening right below! I recently moved away, but as soon as I did many new places have opened up. I'm right back to that neighborhood every time I want a great cup of coffee or to workout! Highly recommend Mt. Vernon!

Happy to live here

I've been at Gables City Vista for less than a year but so far love my experience. The apartment is quick to respond to service requests and always lets you know when they've been in the apartment. My apartment is spacious and has lots of light, and is a good deal for this rapidly growing neighborhood.

Great apartment, great location

As the owner of a 75 lb dog, my biggest concern in an apartment is that I can safely walk him at any hour of the day or night, and that he'll have enough space. This apartment building has that - plus great front desk people, proximity to both fast and nice eating options, and an easy commute to downtown.

Great location

The location of this building is great. There are many restaurants and a 24 hour grocery store right downstairs. There are also two metros nearby. The common spaces are very nice. There's a large, private courtyard. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious, but sometimes the layout and the placement of support columns is strange.

Love this area, right near Logan Circle and 14th street which has so much good food and nightlife!
Amazing neighborhood. Close to GW and close to so much good food and nice restaurants.
Sometimes noisy, but the front desk quickly deal with it if you ask
Great, Safe neighborhood with great food and close to campus.
Foggy Bottom/West End are great for 1Ls -- you will get to know the area around school and you will be conveniently within a few blocks of GW. There are a lot of food options, but night life is lacking (though you're a short walk to DuPont and Georgetown). There are plenty of busses and metros around.
Good only in the sense that it is near the school, that you can receive warnings from the school and D.C. (if signing up), that you can be assured of safety generally even if coming in late due to pulling off night studies in the library. However, noise levels are high, so you can hardly study indoors at home because of people wanting to earn money in exchange for their loud and terrible performances. This means that you may ultimately end up outside for work or rest during morning/afternoon. Noise in the evening can be high too due to some people having gone drunk. Noise (some loud trucks and mostly machine sounds) and lights can be too much for sleeping deeply.
It's really only convenient because of how close the law school is. Otherwise, I would not live here. Definitely a business/corporate area that shuts down on the weekends. Not a lot of options for going out to eat unless it's either overpriced or fast food. The only grocery store that's walking distance is Whole Foods, which I personally hate shopping at.
The Aston is the furthest GW housing from the campus, so we had to walk more than any other student to get to class. We are also the furthest away from any Metro station, but still not considerably far when you look at the big picture. There are grocery stores, bars, and restaurants nearby which is a perk, but it is pretty noisy around here. But I guess that's anywhere in Downtown DC. There are always cars honking, ambulance sirens, etc. But the area seems pretty safe.
