Building Complex Review

The building is nice. Rent just covers the apartment, amenities cost a down payment of $600, but due to covid it has been reduced to $90. The building has study rooms, gym, roof top and pool included in amenities. Things that are extra fees aside from just rent are water, electricity, internet, parking, trash collection, and pets. Obviously utilities like water, electricity, internet, and trash collection need to be paid along with rent so keep that in mind. Other things like pets and parking would have to be requested. Payment is easy as it can be done online via a direct deposit. The building is also very quiet.

The location is good for commuting to school, ~15min walk. The surrounding area has lots of stores, restaurants, pubs, park directly behind the building, and local clubs. There is also a Target going up 14th street and grocery stores going down 14th street. It is very nice, however crime has also been relatively high recently, but I have never had any issues personally.

During Covid-19 they had been providing a free month provided in the form of credit, so that helped lower the cost of living a bit. The area in general is pretty expensive, probably because of all the places nearby and is close to the school making living near campus a pretty expensive.

I have had a few maintenance issues living here, one was pretty bad and unexpected, not the fault of the building, just pipes were backflowing causing a flood in my apartment. I brought it to their attention, I waited about 8 hours and nothing happened. I have to pester the management to get it fixed the same day. That was a bit annoying because it was a rare and extremely bad situation, but in the end everything was fixed. I also had an issue with management while getting a lease on the apartment. Overall, they don't seem reliable to me but the front desk has been pretty good at getting things done when the management team can't. I would recommend being persistent about making sure they get things done. Other than those 2 instances I have not had any issues.

Location and rooftop

In a great location for young, social people who want to live in dc. Has an awesome rooftop with a pool and full kitchen and amazing views of the whole city.

Great location and cool modern amenities

I have enjoyed my first few months at Capitol View on 14th. From the beautiful Chihuly sculpture in the lobby, to the modern style of my apartment, to the friendly and helpful management, it's been great. The location is great with a lovely grocery store underneath as well as an Elevate fitness center. No complaints!

Great building but Pricey

This building is great with nice amenities and a convenient location; the cost however is a little bit expensive, though unfortunately, in-line with comparable buildings; the management is fairly responsive and available; constant elevator issues which should not happen as a result of the cost to live here; some issues with too many guests accessing the roof/pool.

Expensive but worth it

This is a pricey apartment, but the amenities are great and the location couldn't be beat! It does get a bit noisy at night, but you are located by all the bars on 14th street! It makes brunch on the weekends a must! The apartment is gorgeous, although there are a lot of 20-somethings who live there, go to Soul Cycle... that sort of crowd.

Columbia Heights Reviews

55 reviews
So far, I love living in columbia heights. I live at the southern-most part, so I'm in walking distance to many neighborhoods (logan circle, adams morgan, shaw). There are many restaurants, shops, and bars that are close by. I also love living so close to the college of medicine. I ride my bike everyday and it only takes me 5 minutes each way.
I love this neighborhood, there are grocery stores and a Target in walking distance, as well as tons of locally owned restaurants and bars. It's also close to Rock Creek Park. There are three farmers markets within walking distance.
Vibrant, diverse, hub of the city. Walking distance to world-class restaurants. Several grocery store options nearby. Walkable to nightlife (Adams Morgan, U Street/Shaw, 14th).
Overall neighborhood is pretty good, the apartment has had 24 hour security as well which has made me feel safe as well
Columbia Heights has a lot of great neighbors. There is a lot of crime though especially if you get closer to the Metro station where shootings occur frequently. This apartment building is far enough away from that are so it feels safe though. It can also be really loud if you're in the crowded parts. But people are friendly.
I really like the Columbia Heights, because it feels much more like the authentic "DC" than the Foggy Bottom area. It's close to the 14th Street corridor and also Adams Morgan corridor where there are a lot of restaurants/bars/shops, but still has a neighborhood feel to it. It's a little bit farther from campus, but the 2 mile walk to/from school is my built-in exercise/decompressing time for the day. I really like having physical separation from school, and there are bus several bus lines within close proximity, as well as a metro stop nearby. Some of the most affordable housing in DC (that is compatible with having class in GW) is in the Columbia Heights area. There are many "group houses" that often pop up on Craigslist where you can pay a more reasonable amount for a bedroom in a house with other roommates.
Easy access to Malcolm X/Meridian Hill Park. Most restaurants are a 10-15 minute walk away. Metro does not give easy access to GW, it is faster to bike
Nowhere else in DC is there such a melting pot of culture, food and things to do. Everything is in walking distance and there is no need for a car. If your are a foodie your a few blocks from U street or Adams Morgan,
