Living at Avalon is perfect for me. Located in Van Ness, I can walk and take the shuttle to AU or jump on the red line or a bus to go around town! The apartment is spacious with a massive living area. Great for sharing. I feel really safe around the neighborhood.

The Albemarle is well-known in DC among the young professional community. I rarely saw people over the age of 35. Given this nature, it does tend to be very transient and doesn't have much of a community feel. Management was responsive in the time we were there. Limited amenities (this is not meant to be an upscale place) and the fitness center is tiny and basic. Great location 5 minutes from Van Ness metro.

This is a great apartment building if you don't want to be directly in the hub of downtown DC but easy access by metro there. Very nice and safe neighborhood. The management and front desk are very friendly and welcoming. Maintenance is also very quick to respond if you have any problems. Utilities and electric included!

This apartment is beautiful and a very short walk to the Van Ness metro station. It is also within walking distance to the AU shuttle in Tenleytown. It is a quiet neighborhood, but there are restaurants up and coming in the area. Management is professional and friendly. The rent is a bit pricey, but comparable to the amenities that are offered. Plus, you are in a safe area of DC. Several students live in this building and the other buildings on Connecticut Ave. in this area. Worth checking out.

The Albemarle is a wonderful building to live in. The management is very professional. We have a courteous doorman and a 24-hour concierge. Even though Van Ness is a quiet neighborhood, I am never worried about the security in the building or the hood.

My roommates converted this 2 BR apartment into a 4 BR so there are four of us living there now. The living room is a little small due to these renovations but the bedrooms are all pretty spacious. We have a lovely kitchen and pantry, and plenty of natural sunlight.
