Good but expensive

Luxury apartments are very expensive but worth it if you can afford it. No stress of a roommate. This complex is very responsive to feedback

Great Apt with slacking leasing office

New apt (relatively, I believe that it opens in 2016), clean, but the leasing office staff could be a real headache in terms of efficiency.

Love the Acadia

I love my apartment which was brand new when I moved in. The rent is very high. In some ways the rent is justified because the property and management are great; but in other ways the price is too high in that it does not include guest parking passes, any utilities, there is constant construction, and constant traffic from the Costco shopping area.

New, clean, close to metro

This place is new and clean and right next to the Pentagon City metro station, which is 4 stops from GWU. It has very nice finishes and great amenities. For those reasons, it's one of the more expensive places in Pentagon City. But because it's in Virginia, it's cheaper than smaller, older places in DC.

Nice place!

Don't have anything bad to say about it. Moved in a few months ago and the building has been great since. Our last place was awful, so it's definitely an upgrade. Little more expensive than other buildings, but well worth it, in my opinion. Free Starbucks in the lobby too!

Great place to live

This is a great apartment building. I've lived here since it opened in the summer and couldn't be happier. The staff is nice, the facilities are nice, and the price is reasonable. Location is great too. Their is a Champps nearby! My favorite restaurant :)

Great place to live!

Big fan. New building, nice interior. Community is great too. The building opened up last summer (2015). It's filled up quickly and there is another new one being built next door. Also a Whole Foods opening up next door and a yoga studio/starbucks opening up below.

Great!

Brand new apts. Only thing that sucks so far is the heating/air system is really loud when turning on and off and the pool and top floor aren't ready yet. Not sure when construction will be finished. We're playing for these amenities so it'd be great to have them.

Getting around Pentagon City


Pentagon City Reviews

66 reviews
Pentagon City is nice and fairly quiet, which is good for studying. There are some students around but it's mostly families and working individuals. There's not a ton to do, but there are some nice places to walk, and there is a good array of restaurants. The apartment is close to a Harris Teeter and a Whole Foods and Costco.
Safe. Feels like a retirement community. Drivers stop to let you cross the street to the apartment.

For the metro, the ride itself is about 20 min. I just budget in extra time for walking and not wanting to arrive just on time. It shouldn't take 45 minutes to get to school unless they're doing maintenance. Then, add 10 minutes.
The Crystal City and Pentagon City area has a lot of restaurants and shopping in convenient walking distance. The area tends to clear out after 5 on weekdays, but is often busy on weekends, mostly with tourists. I have always felt safe walking alone in the area at whatever time of day/night.
There is not a lot of green space, unless you count Long Bridge "Park", which is a dead-end, cement "bridge" that looks over soccer and baseball fields with some views of D.C.
The location is great. It's a 7 minute walk to the blue line metro, and the total commute to campus is 25 minutes (when the blue line is running properly). An uber takes about 12 minutes and costs an average of $5 per ride (with uber pool). Pentagon City has just about everything you could need. There is a Whole Foods across the street, and the Fashion Center mall is right next to the metro station. There are restaurants, coffee shops, and convenience stores, and a very well maintained public park.
General vibe is 30-somethings wanting to settle down, lots of dogs. Not a huge social scene (which I'm A-OK with).

Pros:
-Very metro-accessible (blue/yellow, so can get into the city in multiple directions if there are delays)
-Walkable - easy to get to grocery store, Pentagon City mall, library, restaurants, etc. within minutes
-Quiet and safe, and generally well-lit in the evenings

Cons:
-I'd like to see a few more restaurant options. There are good casual dining options, like Naked Pizza, California Pizza Kitchen, and the mall food court, but besides Bonefish Grill there's not much a step up from that.
-I don't feel much sense of community, and don't know my neighbors. Not as diverse-seeming as other parts of DC.
The Pentagon City area is safe, quiet (except for big shopping weekends!), and well-lit. Grocery store (Harris Teeter) and tons of other shopping options for all other needs. The metro station is convenient to all area apartment complexes. Great green space/parks across from mall with lots of walking paths. Closest churches however are on 23rd St in Crystal City -- which is not too far of a walk in good weather!
There are dining and shopping options galore. A massive three story shopping mall directly across the street. There are multiple parks in the area and grocery shopping options are within a 15 minute walk. There is a public library nearby and many bus routes.
I like the neighborhood, lots of food options, close to a movie theater, and right next to a mall. Only downside is many of my friends live in D.C. and you can feel apart from the city often.
