Convenient and Cozy
It’s a 10 minute walk (if that) to campus each day and in a pretty safe neighborhood (especially since it’s neighbors with Homeland Security). The staff are quick to respond to any questions or needs, and the other residents are friendly (many of whom are other AU students!). Highly recommend!

Stay away
Apartment complex is infested with roaches. Management is aware and has no solution. The apartment complex is unresponsive to tenants and has lost mail multiple times. The fire department and police are consistently at the building. This complex takes advantage of AU students knowing they have very little options in the area.

Good not great
The Berkshire is the perfect location for AU students and the price is competitive given the included amenities.
But, it’s an older building and the management is unpredictable.

The Berkshire Review
Great Housing Close to Campus

Review
The apartment is nice. It is modernized in some areas. It is definitely in need of maintenance in other areas. The building management turned on the heat back in October when it still regularly got up to the 70s and 80s so that was not appreciated.

Worth the money.
So far so good. The gym and laundry facilities are convenient. There is also a small grocery and deli shop.

It pays the bills
Well, it turned out to be one of the cheaper options (!) in the area and it’s proximity to campus is unparalleled. The occasional bug in the kitchen is off putting but manageable. The leasing staff were extremely helpful!

Mixed
On one hand, the location is great. On the other, we have a recurrent rodent problem and neighbors can be noisy. Management is not effective.

Perfectly average
The Berkshire is close to AU and is one of the most affordable options in the area. The location is very convenient, being walkable from campus, metro, a supermarket, and having a bus route right by the complex (even if it only runs every half hour).
The amenities aren't anything special, but access to a small gym and a (though overpriced) convenience store that's good for emergencies is nice.
As the complex is mostly populated by AU undergrad students, it can get loud on Friday and Saturday nights especially, though management tries to respond to complaints.
The pest problem is impossible to get rid of due to the building's garbage system, but I have found that keeping a clean kitchen and managing personal garbage well keeps roaches a fairly rare sight.
Overall the Berkshire is not an incredibly stunning living space in any way, but the location and manageable price for the area make it a satisfying option for anyone who cares more about price and efficiency than luxury.
