LOVE

The best place to live. Everything is perfect. The management is sooo nice. Brian is the best! They are very attentive to fix things in your unit. The "penthouse" (gym, conference room, tv area, outdoor patio) is great especially now to do homework and relax. Im a huge fan. Also im right on 17th street -- by far the best street in DC. Lots of restaurants so fun.

Best apt I've lived in

Apartments are very nice, good size for one person. Management responds to any issues extremely quickly (usually within hours), though there rarely are any. Property is very safe and secure - the security guard on site knows every resident. Walls are pretty thick - I very rarely hear my neighbors. Building is pretty new, so everything is in good shape. Some apartments, including mine, have floor to ceiling corner windows, which make the apartments very bright and feel much larger than they are. Tons of storage space. Great area for young people to live in (bars, restaurants, public transport, etc.).

Great building, location, management

The Drake is a phenomenal building. The entire building is basically brand new, and each apartment has modern appliances and furnishings. The common areas, including a gym, study room, rooftop, and lounge are fantastic. The management team works very hard and does a great job maintaining the building.

Great!

I've lived here for almost 6 months. The building is brand new and the apartments have all of the bells and whistles you would want-- ice maker, dishwasher, garbage disposal, built-in microwave, hardwoods, quiet drawers, W/D in-unit. The common areas are well-maintained. Management is friendly and responsive.

Dupont Circle Reviews

162 reviews
Great neighborhood. Very walkable, even at night I always feel safe. Usually lots of people out and about. Young community, lots of bars and some awesome restaurants. Farmers markets and outside concerts in the warm months. Easy access to foggy bottom metro (15min walk) and dupont metro (5 min walk). Lots of green space (rock creek park). Georgetown 20 min walk with great shopping. 20 min walk to AdMo with great restaurants/bars
I love the neighborhood! Perfectly situated between Dupont Circle and Foggy Bottom. Walking distance to campus, while still being separate enough to feel independent. Tons of restaurants, bars, and stores around. The neighborhood feels very safe but is quiet and residential, too.
Dupont Circle is a great area. I like that my block feels very residential, but I'm close to convenience stores, the Metro, and only a 15-20 minute walk to the law school. Sometimes I walk over to Georgetown, which is nice.
I have never felt unsafe walking home at night from campus. The area is mostly embassies and very fancy apartments and townhouses.
could not be happier. i love having a safe space away from the law school
West End is amazing! Such great restaurants and stores around!
Amazing food and restaurants all within walking distance
Hamilton House is located in the crossings of West End, Foggy Bottom, and DuPont. It is a very clean, classy area. Super incredible how you can walk down the street to old-town DC, walk down another street and its all clubs and bars of DuPont, walk the other direction and its GW, walk another direction and its DuPont circle and all the incredible food. This is an ideal location, especially being situated right in between Foggy Bottom / GW Metro stop and the DuPont Metro stop.
