  I lived in the Hudson (the Hudson & DeSoto are right next to each other and managed by the same people), and it was the best apartment experience both my partner and I have had. We rented the apartment sight unseen, and were grateful to find the apartment looked exactly like the online photos, and was very clean, spacious and full of light due to the huge windows. Laurie, the building manager, is fair and professional, and was one of the few leasing managers I was able to actually get to answer a phone and finalize an apartment rental when I was originally looking in DC. She is on site everyday along with an assistant manager, two maintenance staff and a concierge, meaning any of our needs didn’t go more than 24 hours without addressing. The only negative I might point out is because this apartment is in a prime area, it can get a bit noisy late nights. However - still more than worth it to live within feet of most things you will need.

  I have been a resident of the Hudson for a year now and have loved every minute of it. The location can’t be beat, and the amenities are newly renovated and outstanding. However, the real highlight of the property is the management. Laurie, Uwe, and Fostina, are incredibly helpful, kind, and welcoming. It always makes my day entering the lobby and being greeted by them. I have never been at a residence with better management and doubt I may ever find quality people like that again. Maintenance is incredibly fast and fixes things right every time. This is a top notch property in all aspects.

  This my new place and I think it made an excellent choice. I love to cook and the kitchen design and supplies are excellent. I like the community and the fact that almost everything I need is in walking distance. The office staff is always helpful and friendly. Thanks again. Love my new home.

  The Hudson & Desoto apartment buildings are cheaply constructed apartment buildings with few amenities, but they charge extremely high rates for rent and market themselves as “luxury apartments.” The building is plagued by plumbing issues. I’ve lived in two different units and in both of them, I’ve had several issues with the washing/drying machine and sink backing up randomly and flooding water all over the apartment. The plumbers have had to come several times because the water backs up from the other apartment units since the pipes of the building were built too narrow. The property manager herself has confirmed the pipes are too narrow for the building but that they are not interested in spending the money that would be required to fix these plumbing issues. Despite being a luxury apartment building, there is no gym, pool, or other amenities you might expect for a building that charged about $3,000 in rent for a one bedroom apartment. Most of the staff is nice, but the property manager is unhelpful and unresponsive to emails. The walls of the building must be pretty thin as well because you can hear everything that happens outside. Another issue I’ve had in both units I’ve lived in is that there are gaps between the windows and doors, so heating the apartment in the winter gets expensive, and when it snows a lot, water seeps into the apartment. Would not recommend this building. I’m looking forward to moving out!
