Super convenient to Metro but a 10 minute walk to anything worthwhile

The Amelia is super close to the Metro (~3 minute walk) and only 4 stops to Foggy Bottom, so the door-to-door commute to GW is only about 20 minutes max. On the downside, Virginia Square is kind of a deadzone, though Clarendon is a 10 minute walk away and very lively. Grocery stores are about 6 - 15 minutes away, depending on which one you go to. The Amelia itself is fairly standard, though it's great having a washer/dryer and dishwasher in the apartment, along with my own bathroom. Walk-in closet too!

Good for the location/size

The location and physical layout of the apartment is excellent...and the balconies are great! The gym is rarely packed, which is nice for working out before or after work. The area is fantastic. You're less than two blocks away from the metro (and Starbucks!) and a couple of blocks either way there are a ton of restaurants and bars. D.C. is about 15 minutes away via metro, and you're also close to other areas in Virginia. Management is a bit "behind the times". There is no online portal for residents to request maintenance, pay rent online, or manage other needs. There's also rarely anyone down in the leasing office, which makes it difficult at times to get parking passes for guests or if you have any questions.

Spacious no-frills building

The Amelia has really spacious floor plans, is close to the Metro, and in walking distance of most of the things I need on a regular basis. The building doesn't have a lot of fancy amenities, but its in a quiet, safe location and has been a nice place to live.

Safe and friendly neighborhood. On a busy street, so the neighborhood is mostly behind the complex. Even then, the suburb behind the complex is small before you hit another highway. Very easily accessible by car, not very much by metro. Also, that accessibility comes with the cost that things do not feel very walkable in most directions. Living here almost necessitates having a car.

Pentagon City is a great experience that is only about to get better with the new Amazon building and the influx of youth it will bring. It is a ways from DC which makes getting with friends difficult because they don't want to come to Arlington, and getting to DC requires 30 minute notice and planning.

The neighborhood is very walkable and has very accessible public transportation. It's not somewhere you typically would go out at night since nightlife is nonexistent, but Amazon just moved in and there is semblance of that changing. It's great if you are active (many gyms, parks, and Mt. Vernon Trail Access), enjoy restaurants like Chick Fil A (one right outside my building), and want to be close to everything.

The property is set in a residential area that is pleasant and safe. Custis trail is nearby for running, biking, and walking. It provides easy and quick access to the city and Rosslyn. I love this trail.

MOM's market is on-site. I shop there occasionally but prefer the cheaper option of Giant down the street (a short drive or walk). The metro is a short and safe 5-minute walk away.

The building does sit right off Lee Highway, but I have never had any noise or other problems associated with this. I like how quickly I can pull onto the major road instead of navigating around crowded city traffic. I drive to school in under 5 minutes via Lee Highway.

Rosslyn is convenient for purposes of transportation and conveniences (food, bars, etc.). Additionally, it is between D.C. and the law school, so convenient to just about everything. There are some spots that aren't the safest and you wouldn't want to be walking alone in at night, but overall a great neighborhood.

Very clean, lots of restaurants and coffee shops. Some good outdoor spaces. Feels safe overall, but I had some weird experiences. Could potentially be a Ponzi scheme where a man approaches and is flirting with you, asks questions about your life and what you do...Happened to me twice with two separate guys in a similar manner. Maybe I'm just approachable but either way, it's fine overall, just be cautious like you would anywhere else. A few homeless people here and there, but honestly pretty scarce.

LOVE LOVE LOVE my neighborhood. I'm between dupont and u street, so it's not in the middle of it all, which I appreciate. I'm literally 2 blocks from 14th street where all the great restaurants/bars are. I'm also 5-7 mins walking distance to multiple grocery stores (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Safeway). It's quiet enough to feel like I'm not in a city, but i'm steps away from being reminded that I am.
Reviewed by Young Professional living at Tellus
It's a great area as someone who is looking to live somewhere with easy access to popular sites but without having to live with the noisiness in the "center of it all." It's an easy walk to Clarendon (it's about 0.35 mi walk to Whole Foods, 0.7 mi walk to Trader Joes) and a quick stroll to the metro station (only about 0.2 mi walk). It's a mix of residential apartments and corporate offices, and is quieter but still with a strip of restaurants, coffee, medical offices, and nail/hair salons.
