Sentinel Real Estate Corp

I have lived here for almost 3 years now. Responsive management. Front desk is phenomenal. easily walkable to HUP (20 mins) or with the buses 42, 21, or 49. close to the Rittenhouse park and amazing food places. Target on the same block. Trader Joe's just 5 mins walk

Belle Harbour has been a great place to live. It is a gated community and I feel very safe there, even has a female living alone. The apartment is 10 minutes from campus, has a gym and pool, printing station, tennis courts, and is conveniently located on the mississippi river with a nice public walking path.

Good place to live

Responsive maintenance. Poor elevator service.

Good complex

I love it at Belle Harbour. Very safe and the people are very nice. Good location, close to school. Gated and very safe for girls who are interested in living alone.

Great place to live, convenient and safe

We had a pretty good experience at Belle Harbor. It was very safe, and you could walk around the neighborhood without worrying about anything. It was also a short walk from the Riverwalk, which was super nice. The gym is fine, nothing special but has the essentials. The management was also very helpful and reasonable whenever we had to reach out to them. The only issue we had is that we payed about 2k per month after everything was taken into account for an apartment that was less than 600 square feet. Hard to do as a married couple with a dog.

I have been very content with the apartment thus far. It is slightly more pricy than some other complexes on the island, but it feels like I am getting my moneys worth. I will note that sometimes getting maintenance to come and fix various issues at the apartment can be slow sometimes, but it has improved recently.

Great Apartment

I love living at Belle Harbour. As a female who lives alone, I feel very safe. The complex is only about 12 minutes from campus and is close to so many restaurants. Great management staff who made the moving-in process easy.

It's an old building, so maintenance issues and pests are expected. We've dealt with roaches and water damage. ALL OF THAT BEING SAID, WE STILL LOVE IT! The location is unbeatable (8 minute walk to the Rosslyn metro, 1 stop away from GWU. Total commute time from my front door to Milken is 20 minutes), rent is on the cheaper side for the area, and most of all, the property manager is amazing. Ms. Loma treats her tenants like family. She's attentive, quick to respond about maintenance and pest issues, loves pets (she'll come to my apartment just to say hi to my dog), and will stop you in the hallway for a quick chat just to catch up. She genuinely cares about building community in the apartment, and it really does feel like having a grandmother living down the hall from you. On the topic of pets, the building is VERY pet friendly! Ms. Loma even told me once that she loves hearing the dogs bark in the hallways because "barking dogs are happy dogs." I'm not sure how true that actually is but as the owner of a barky dog, the sentiment is very appreciated.

The apartment is great and the management is very helpful!

They are very good to us here and it’s incredibly safe!

Relative to the four more popular higher-priced buildings within a 5-minute walk nearby, The Republic offers excellent value for this location with its newly renovated units, a complete amenity package, and good management. Would highly recommend for students hoping to live in the center of the Rittenhouse community without taking on the full price tag.
