“So far, so good. Just moved in and the communication has been on-point. The apartment was thoroughly cleaned and refinished upon our arrival and the staff have all been extremely helpful over the course of the move.”

“I've been a resident here for nearly 3 years, and I've had a very pleasant experience. The location is great, it's safe, and the service from the entire staff is great! A special shoutout to Hawo and Kendra, who are always so kind and go above and beyond to assist!”

“It has been great living here. LJ and Cal have made my life much easier throughout my time here. They are both super helpful and friendly, both willing to answer any questions or deal with any issues I’ve had!”

“I have to make this a five-star review, or it won’t show up to the front.

I decided not to renew my lease on the very first day of moving in - the sound proof in the ceiling is terrible. Just terrible. I hear my upstairs neighbors stomping into the bathroom every night. (He might just be walking.) The ceiling vibrates, and I’m jolted awake every time he uses the bathroom at night. I talked to other neighbors on different floors, and they said the same thing. Of course, the issue happens whenever your upstairs neighbors are home. I’m wearing noise-canceling headphones when they’re home, even to bed. No one should be paying this much rent for an apartment in which they can’t enjoy peace at home.

Also, the leasing office wasn’t up front about the RUBS when we signed the contract (we should’ve specifically asked). The trash fee and sewage fee fluctuate every month. We have a two-bedroom apartment and were paying about $100 just for sewage last month, ending up having to pay close to $400 (for two people) for utilities.

What a shame because the concierge and maintenance professionals do their job very, very well. Big shout out to Negeset and Maribel!”

“We had a best experience in touring today, the complex is soo clean and organised so well!!And a Special thanks to Gary Jones who took us in touring he was so helpful and very kind ??”

“I lived at "The KW" for 7 years, ending in January 2024. During this time, I lived in both the South (built in 2000's) and Historic (built in 1932 and 1935). Leasing agents will be happy to provide a tour of either, so I'll leave descriptions of apartments out. Suffice to say, there are a variety of floor plans and none (including the studios) are shabby. Some amenities of the building (indoor heated pool, sauna, gym) are truly top-notch. The rooftop grills could be much better; but the area warmers are a great touch for those those hanging on to the outdoor space until the cold becomes unfightable.What I want to focus on is the experience. The KW courtyard is among the prettiest in DC and provides its own welcome which didn't diminish during my stay. Once inside, the main lobby provides a fantastic display of Art Deco and contains an elevated mezzanine that often provided a comfortable (and very well decorated) meeting place for myself and neighbors.This brings me to an aspect of the KW which may appeal to many, and certainly did to me. There exists a true sense of community which will match your level of engagement. That engagement spans across KW hosted activities, as well as events conducted by the Residents Association. The initiator and facilitator of these relationship is often the in-building private club/bar. For the first time, I knew dozens of my neighbors instead of just a handful. Many friendships therein will persist.The staff is mostly friendly and courteous. A few stand out as exceptional, and I'm not likely to find their equivalent again: Giovanna (Desk), Lea (Desk), Michael (Desk), Anthony (Engineering), James (Club), and Vanessa (Management).There are some things to pay attention to. This is an old building on the Historic Side; and, while the bones are great, one issue plagued my stay. Our front bathroom would begin to develop an odor several times a week. It was not mild, and smelled like a sewer. Engineering was never able to remediate this despite multiple attempts. None of my neighbors had a similar issue, so I suppose I was just lucky.In the South Wing, there is an engineering issue where water will leak past the valves in the washing machines should there be a pressure drop in the system. This could occur with the briefest power failure. If caught, Engineering will race to everyone's apartment to see if the issue is presenting and pursue resolution. If uncaught, the washing machines will fill and begin to spill over. I once had flooding in my apartment from above due to this issue. If I didn't hear the water and turn off my valves manually, the flooding would have been that much worse. Some of my neighbors had this occur multiple times.In all, I highly recommend the KW for young (Historic Wing) and old. If you're a lifelong renter, rent stabilization with a young start will provide you a home in a fabulous building at a cost that's unheard of. If you want a home to age in place, you'll find a vibrant group of neighbors who are continuously organizing get-togethers and are genuine friends.I was in the middle, and figured my best move was to buy something. I did this, however, with my wife; and I met my wife at the KW Club when I was 46. Need I say more?”

“LJ did a phenomenal job of explaining the apartment complex. Her energy and enthusiasm was helpful in our decision to rent at this complex. After a full day of apartment hunting, she was a refreshing and and helpful agent.”

“The staff at The Clarendon is a true family-oriented team. There’s nothing like coming home after a long day at work and being received with a warm welcome every day when I walk through the lobby. I think it’s worth mentioning that while I don’t own any pets, its amusing and fun to watch other resident’s dogs go crazy for the concierges as if they’re reuniting with a long lost friend. It always brightens up my day!

Kudos to the whole team for always going the extra mile for my family, my guests and myself, but especially Shaukat and Grover whom I interact with nearly every single day.

Giving 5 stars for the quality life I’m able to have at The Clarendon.”

“I would like to show my appreciation to Mr victorino Castro one of the best service technician here at Mason at van dorn he is truly amazing at what he does he deserve five stars ? thanks for your service victor”

“We ultimately did not rent here because we bought a home instead, but our experience with the agents at West Broad could not have been better. They were kind, knowledgeable, patient with our questions, flexible with our reservation, and truly a pleasure to interact with. The building also seemed great and extremely well run - we were almost sad we didn't end up needing to rent! I highly recommend this building and any building with the same management company (Bozzuto).”

“This is really nice and quiet community. My first interaction was with Ms. Atwell, leasing agent for the community. Ms. Atwell is very professional and attentive to your leasing preferences. Leasing a unit can be a big deal, especially for a long period. Ms. Atwell explained the multiple leasing options for the different units. I found Ms. Atwell to be extremely responsive to my questions and concerns. Even on her day-off someone from the leasing office reached out to me to give me an update on my questions. This is not generally done, and I usually have to chase a person down to get an answer to my question(s), so I found that to be professional as well. I also had the pleasure of meeting another person from the leasing team named Henry. Henry was very understanding and helpful during my move-in to address a concern that I was having. He remedied the matter without unnecessary red tape or having to check with hdqtrs. He has authority to make a decision. Thumbs up with that! Overall, I would give the community a 5-star but I had some minor issues post move-in that required continual maintenance requests but overall, the team is professional, its a safe community and nice place to live.”

“The leasing staff is second to none. Not only was my agent professional, responsive and nice- she went out of her way to make my move a success. I feel very welcomed and know I made the right choice.”

“Absolutely the best managed corporate apartments I've ever lived in from Seattle, San Diego, and now DC Metro/North Virginia. The owning company is Equity and you will be paying them handsomely in rent, they do a fair job and the location is premier. However, the real 5 star review is for the local team at 2201 Wilson - Shaun, Thuraya, Krysten, Trent, Jose, and more. All my maintenance requests were done in 24hrs, with a note saying who completed it and what they did, then a follow up by the management team via a phone call. I had issues with my bank doing autopay through their corporate portal for rent and they worked with me so I never paid a penalty. The local team is 10/10. Strongly recommend, would rent again.”

“The apartment itself was great. It was very quiet (I never heard any of my neighbors), location is good, and the amenities are nice.

The only downside is that there are a LOT of hidden fees in addition to rent. $150 “amenity fee”. $50 “application fee”. $500 “non-refundable move-in/admin fee”. $20 “pet application fee”, plus $500 “non-refundable pet fee”, $20/annually to maintain a “pet profile” through a third-party app, and monthly pet rent. $335 for carpet cleaning at move-out, unless you want to hire someone yourself. $20/monthly “technology fee”. $5.37 “service fee” tacked on to your monthly utilities. There may be more that I missed, but you get the idea. It’s predatory.”

“I have been staying here for the last 7 months and have become very friendly with the staff. Myra is very sweet and always has a smile on her face. I love that they are painting walls and cleaning carpets so the place stays looking nice.They also keep the place smell great. You would never know that there are many pets in the building from how great it smells and look.”

“The front desk staff is great and the building is fine.

The primary reason for rating 4 stars is Equity tried to raise my rent almost $400 after my lease ended. I was able to convince them to lower it a bit but the increase was still outrageous and I see available units listed on their site with the same floor plan as mine listed for less. They are price gouging me because they know I already live here and don’t want to move out which is a shameful money-grabbing tactic. There have been no changes since I moved in that warrant a rent increase anywhere near this large.

Edited review from 3 to 4 stars as a previous maintenance issue turned out to be a misunderstanding that was rectified quickly upon submitting a second request. The maintenance team has always been great, but I had initially thought the ownership was dropping the ball on replacing my hot water tank. It turned out it just wasn’t turned on correctly.”

“I've lived here the past 3 years and will soon be moving out (to another state, otherwise I'd be staying here!). I've loved my time here. It's a wonderful building, the leasing office has always been really helpful, and maintenance is quick to respond and very nice.

Pros:
Location - easy walk to King street, but far enough away from the busyness that it's fairly quiet, walking distance to whole foods, restaurants behind the buildings, coffee and convenience stores. Also for drivers, there's easy access to 495.
Quiet - I rarely hear my neighbors. I can hear noise in the hallway at times, and occasionally upstairs neighbors if they drop something, but most of the time it's very quiet.
View - if you are on a higher floor facing Holland Lane, the view is spectacular. You can see the Washington Monument, National Harbor, and all of Alexandria. When fireworks are going off down at the river or National Harbor you can watch them from your window.
Rooftop pool - the rooftop has a beautiful view as well, and the rooftop pool is a nice addition
No issues with pests, building and landscaping is kept clean
AC/Heating isn't controlled by the building like some other buildings in the area (so you can turn it on anytime throughout the year if needed). I have only turned on my heat about 3 times since moving here.
Community - the people here are great. There is a resident portal where we can ask questions, ask for help, sell items, or chat. The leasing office does pet of the month. Everyone here is mature, respectful and nice (that I've come across at least!)

Cons:
The parking garage in 601 (HL2) goes through phases where it's really full and sometimes coming home late at night it's hard to find parking. It's not currently like that though.

Things to consider:
If you're facing Holland Lane, I think we're on a path for ambulances/fire trucks. They can be quite loud. The windows are pretty good at blocking out general noise though.
Also if you're facing Holland Lane, you're facing east so the morning sun is bright and hot! And in the evening it feels a bit darker than it actually is outside. The shades help with the sun though!

I highly recommend checking out Post Carlyle. It's a great choice for living in Old Town!”

“I am really happy living here! The place is cozy and well kept, and the neighbors are friendly. Everything I need is close by, and the area is peaceful. It is a great spot to come home to after a long day. Definitely feels like the perfect fit for me.”

“Nice and clean community best in this area Michael is so nice he is one of the best people who worked here in the building he always loves to help as much as he can and give the best service”

“I love Union on Queen! I’ve been living here for a few years and I love the ambiance of the building. The manager puts together amazing events for residents, especially the Saint Patrick’s day event! Very kind, warm, and welcoming staff!”

“I’m a former resident of the Beacon and their staff has always been top tier. Since I’ve left I spend a lot of time at the reception desk while visiting my old friends that still reside there. Rahel has been beyond accommodating for my almost daily visits. Always smiling (even when I can tell she’s busy). She’s the Michael Jordan of concierge’s and I’m pretty sure she will be running the company soon.”

“I haven't moved in, yet, but I did think it would be worth noting that the people in the leasing office were amazing. I have looked at multiple complexes in the last week and most of them were not even thrilled to assist me on a self-guided tour appointment. It personally makes a huge difference to me when the people that are helping me find my home helps me feel comfortable and are personable. Cristian answered every question with such confidence and kindness and the homes looked pretty good for an old complex. If and when I move in, it will most likely be because of him!”

“Central Place is a beautiful place to live at. I am so pleased with everything and everyone from the staff, leasing agents, etc. I would definitely recommend this place to my colleagues and friends.”

“The Clark has continued to feel like a Family to me! Travis is a God-send in maintenance, Douglas is a class act and warms up the energy In Concierge, and Johnathan’s morning greeting and event planning has put all the icing on the cake! I love this place!”

“Brandi was an exceptionally helpful leasing agent for us — and helped my partner and I get into a great unit very quickly. She wasn’t only welcoming and fun to work with, but also went over and beyond to help us get our ducks in a row and get the new place we needed. There was a lot of detail to get through quickly and she made that process simple and intuitive (and fast!). She’s also just clearly a wonderful person. We are super glad we found her and would highly recommend anyone looking in the area to check out the building — and find time to do a tour with her!”

“I have resided at 1401 S Joyce Street since January 2022. I love living here and hope to continue here for a long time. The management team and the staff are helpful, caring, trustworthy, and friendly. My husband and I feel very safe and secure at 1401 S Joyce Street. A special thank you to a special lady named Angela who has a Mona Lisa smile. Thank you for a beautiful and safe place to live.”

“Moving out after a year- I really enjoyed living here!

- Courthouse is a great neighborhood
- building pool and grill area is nice
- maintenance team was great. Thank you Charles, Josh, and Zeke! They are fantastic.
- spacious apartments with great sound isolation

Cons:
- appliances in some apartments are a bit dated

- guest parking is $7 per day
- building security is pretty lax”

“I lived at the Reserve at Clarendon for 3 years and the only reason I am moving is because I moved into an house for more space. I loved my time there and was always so pleased with management and maintenance, always very attentive and nice. Definitely recommend, and location is hard to beat!”
