Thin walls but otherwise good

I have had a great experience overall. My studio apartment is a good size, and I love the large windows. Overall, I don't hear too much noise from my neighbors. Sometimes the leasing office can be hard to contact by phone, but it you are in the building or in the area, you can reach them in person.

often smells like weed in hallways and neighbors have been loud at times into the evenings. Convenient location though.

All utilities are included in the rent so the only additional bill is the wifi. Close to the metro and only two stops from campus. The building staff is quick to fix any maintenance or pest problems. The building also has a gym, rooftop, business center, and clubroom. The studio is a good size for the price.

Great area, safe neighborhood, close to Rock Creek Park (great for runners). The property is a bit older so there is not a huge luxury gym or concept, but its clean, street parking is easy, its close to the metro stop on the red line and the staff are friendly.

Location is great but no amenities like gym/pool

Just moved in in July and while the leasing office wasn’t the most helpful the staff at the actual apt are awesome. Everybody is so nice! The location is close to campus and there are other kids in my class in the building who i can hangout with or study with given we all live here. Also close proximity to metro and grocery stores

An older building a bit further away from campus. Very close to metro station. Feels homey with trees, dog park, young families. Some great restaurants right down the hill on Connecticut. Target is within walking distance!

Love the windows that span the whole apartment and the newly renovated kitchen. Amenities include unofficial guest parking for free, gym, rooftop, and great front desk staff.

Great option for people with some budget flexibility.

This apartment is a very safe complex that is usually very quiet and within three minutes walking distance to the hospital and medical school. This is a no frills apartment (older models that could use renovating). However it has everything you need, and they are very responsive to service requests. There is a front desk to receive packages. Rent includes access to a small gym in the building. Paid parking is optional at this residence ($175 per vehicle for outdoor parking or $250 per vehicle for covered). No in unit laundry (each load is ~$2 to wash and ~$2.20 to dry)

Great experience so far

I've lived at Quebec House for 2 years. I've been really impressed with it. The studios are spacious and include an enclosed kitchen and walk-in closet. My apartment overlooks Rock Creek Park, so it's so nice to see the trees and get a view of nature. There's a hiking trail that leads directly into the park. Management has always been responsive and fixed any issues within 24 hours. The gym includes a Peloton bike, which I really enjoy using. It's a 5 minute walk from Cleveland Park metro and Target. Highly recommend.

2400 Penn, in my opinion, is a great location near the law school. It is only about a 10-12 minute walk from the front steps to the law school. It really comes in handy as I chose to leave my car behind back home instead of bringing it here. If you were to bring your car, it is about an extra 250/month for parking. With that being said, I also chose this location because it is very near to the Foggy Bottom/GWU metro stop. As someone who has lived in DC before, you can get to plenty of places just using the metro. Also, there is a bus stop (DC Circulator and MetroBus) in front of the apartment that can take you places if need be

It is an older building, however, management has done an amazing job as far as upkeep goes. I am in a recently-renovated studio with hardwood floors and I am well-impressed by the size of it. Of course, being in DC means you are going to pay a pretty penny for rent and it is what it is, but rent here is on the lower end compared to apartments in Foggy Bottom and in the rest of DC. You will find some cheaper apartments or apartments around the same price range near the school, but I believe that this is the best of the bunch.

If you are someone that is social, you will be out of luck in Foggy Bottom because there isn't really any nightlife. Good news,however, is that it is not that far of a walk from Dupont Circle, which has a great mix of restaurants and nightlife.

There is no gym here, so either you'll have to use the school's gym or get a membership at a gym nearby. I chose the latter.

One thing I should stress is that the apartments are near a hospital, meaning that you will hear ambulances going in and out all the time. For someone who is a hard sleeper, I've been woken up before, but it's few and far between with occurrences. However, if you're a light sleeper or have trouble concentrating with many outside noises, take that into consideration before you move here.

I find management easy to work with. They've been very responsive to my maintenance requests and the process of putting one in is very easy. As this is my very first apartment that's not considered student housing, the management here was very welcoming ever since I toured the place the summer before my first year here. They walked me through the process and were nothing but patient and kind throughout the whole thing.

All in all, I cannot complain living here. When looking at apartments, I wanted to pick a place where I can envision staying all three years of law school because I do not want to go through the process of moving again while in school and I think I found a great spot in 2400 Penn.

Management isn’t too responsive to concerns. There are no amenities such as gym or pool.
