  Do not rent in this building. The management company is extremely unprofessional and they made every interaction we had with them more difficult and frustrating than it needed to be. They did not provide proper documentation about the terms of our move-in so we were left scrambling to find a cashier's check on a Sunday bank holiday. They raised our rent every single term they could. While we were in a precarious financial position and on an agreed upon month-to-month lease with them, they penalized us for leaving at the end of our lease term without giving multiple months notice. They sent legal paperwork unprompted to address issues that could have been handled very simply by a phone call or email with us. They failed to adequately notify us of a fee during our move out and we received a debt collections notice out of the blue nearly half a year later. The office staff on premises were friendly but woefully under-equipped to handle any sort of complex problem and would point us to a mysterious "upper management" that we could not get into contact with. A frankly traumatic experience as a resident there.

  They are selling dreams over here. The maintenance man is nice. I lived here for about 15 months and we’ve had 2 different leasing office turnovers and it doesnt seem as if the new leasing agents are any more proficient than the last ones. It stinks, the amenties are less than desirable. There isn’t even a stairmaster in the gym. The communication is awful and not to mention the leasing office “LOST” my rent payment and wanted me to pay for an investigation. I had the receipt of the day they received the payment and they still had me jump through hoops to prove I submitted the payment. On top of that if I wasn’t paying attention to my account it would have never been brought to my attention. Several ppl were shot in front of the building. The front door doesnt work unless you hit the handicapped sign which is dangerously in the event of an emergency bc that this property is at the intersection of Georgia Ave and New Hampshire aka the less decent side of Petworth. If you’re ready for an uphill battle for the market price then by all means rent from here but its simply not worth it. The walls are paper thin, you hear everything and I do mean everything. They’re currently doing subpar renovations and it looks a mess. A bandaid over a bullet hole so to speak. Just cut your losses and find somewhere else to live.

  Have lived here for 3 years. Pros: awesome concierge and custodial staff, lots of great neighbors in the building, dog friendly, rooftop is BEAUTIFUL and good for hosting people especially in the spring and fall. Cons: lots of street noise, fire alarms go off in the middle of the night on a regular basis (tied to Safeway’s system somehow?), a few people don’t clean up after their dogs so dog area is usually too gross to use. If you are signing here and have the option, I’d go for a south- or west-facing unit for more light and less noise.
