Apartment review

Newer building, close to a lot of amenities so it's very walkable. 20-30 minute commute to the school via bus. In unit water/dryer and dishwasher. Has a gym, rooftop, courtyard, lounge. The big downside is the walls are very thin. It's manageable if you wear headphones during the day.

Management quality needs work

I love Dorchester West as a building but the management company tends to be less than helpful and was a pain to deal with in the move-in. However, the building is wonderful and more than makes up for it. I would recommend this building but just be braced to deal with management who is tough to work with.

Nice Find

Given the volume of overpriced luxury apartment buildings in DC, Dorchester West is a surprisingly nice find. It is a brand new building with a beautiful courtyard and grills, and the units are spacious and well-lit, with lots of storage space and nice, modern, open kitchens. The gym (shared with Dorchester House, next door) is not great, but better than nothing. The management is not always the most responsive and helpful, but the maintenance staff is great.

Very Nice Space in a Nice Area

Dorchester West offers brand new, spacious units with great appliances and lots of natural light. They are located a 3 minute walk from 18th St and Columbia Ave (the main nightlife spots in Adams Morgan), and a 12 minute walk from the U St Corridor. There is a Harris Teeter (large supermarket) next-door. A bus stop is 2 minutes away on 16th St, which can get you downtown to McPherson. The Columbia Heights metro is a 15 minute walk. Amenities at the apartment include a public rooftop, patio with gas grills and lounge chairs, and club room that can be rented for events. There are more amenities to be had for a similar (or cheaper) price in Northern VA, but it is hard to beat Dorchester West for the excellent location and large, light-filled, nicely-appointed units it offers.

Adams Morgan Reviews

44 reviews
It’s just between DuPont and admo so you get all the fun of DuPont but the neighborhood feel of admo. Definitely feels like a safe neighborhood and admo is really cool (and cheaper overall than DuPont).
Do you like bohemian districts? If yes, than you'll love AdMo. This place has everything: Drifters, stoners, angry ideologues preaching divine ruination, some guinely excellent cocktail bars and restaurants. Are illciti pandemic speakeasies or constant ambient marijuana smoke not your cup of tea? Then go live in Petworth, nerd.
Adams Morgan is a popular nightlife spot with a neighborhood feel. 18th St is crazy on weekends, but just a few steps away are quiet residential areas. It offers a wonderful location for those who like to explore their surroundings (including restaurants and bars offering fare from around the world, and the 1st class Meridian Hill Park), while offering a quick escape from the bustle of city life. This is not downtown, nor is it a suburb. The demographics are nicely varied, unlike some ritzier areas nearby. A very interesting and comfortable place to live.
Admo has a reputation for the weekend evening activities that occur but Adams Morgan is also a great neighborhood gem to spend time in. With so many food options and parks within walking distance, it's perfect for more than just going out on a Saturday night. You have the perfect balance of night life with being in a walkable neighborhood which is also close to several other happening neighborhoods.
Good bar and restaurant scene, even if it is a zoo on Friday and Saturday nights. Easy access to Rock Creek Park
Adams Morgan is incredible for bars and restaurants. There is always something happening in the neighborhood. On the weekends it overflows with people coming in for a fun night.
Fantastic restuarants, bars and decent amounts of open/green space. Mostly friendly neighbors and a relatively short walk to the Woodley park metro stop or Columbia Heights. High concentration of houseless persons on some streets can be disruptive.
Adams Morgan is fantastic. Its close to everything and has a ton of great things so you don't really have to leave.
