  I have lived in my unit since September of 2025. It was lovely until February of 2026, when our heating went out in the midst of a snowstorm. Temporary repairs were made but the HVAC continued to work poorly for months until it stopped functioning entirely in late April, when temperatures were upwards of 95 degrees. I was forced to stay in a hotel for a few nights when the heat was unbearable in our apartment. It is now July, and our AC is still completely nonfunctional, with temperatures outside reaching 105 degrees. Management has done nothing to help and frankly has been completely unresponsive during these times. We have been denied concessions for these troubles and are still being charged a portion of the building’s HVAC electricity costs every month, when we have been out of this service since February. We have also been denied a proper timeline of repairs. There are at least 6 units currently affected by these issues, potentially more. Unfortunately, the units that are in the “historic” buildings and not the main building on 14th are being ignored and these issues are being swept under the rug. To potential future renters, I have a strong suspicion that they never intend to fix the HVAC system. They know that finding living in DC is extremely difficult and that many of us are desperate. I want to warn you about finding a home with Elysium 14 because they clearly do not care about your experience here, much less your safety in their building. I will add that Ronald is great and seems to make a big effort to help us. The management is the issue here.

  Generra and Ronald are both amazing. They were both able to assist me and offered an excellent deal. 2 months free if you apply for an apartment. Hard to beat.

  Overall, the building is great and the apartments are nice. Management has been a bit of a rough journey with the rotations, and utility charges feel higher than expected, AC issues from time to time. The absolute standout is Ronald from maintenance. He is always friendly, very responsive, and quick to fix any issue.

  By far the worst experience I have had in dealing with an apartment community. I don’t even know where to begin. I had applied for an apartment after calling the leasing agent, did a virtual tour, and decided to submit an application. The unit was available at the end of July. After finding out I got approved for the apartment AND SIGNED THE LEASE, I get a phone call from Elysium less than 3 weeks from my scheduled move in stating that the current residents decided not to move out and therefore voiding my lease telling me I am unable to move into this unit. This is after telling my current residence that I will be moving out and giving them my notice to vacate. Apparently giving notice here to vacate doesn’t mean anything to these people as they will twist their story in any way, thus screwing you over. They then offered another similar unit but at a different price. However, they were not willing to offer the same price after putting me through this nightmare. I strongly considered doing this as I was going to be homeless just a couple of weeks. After inquiring about that unit, they tell me the current resident wants to extend their rent for another month and could not guarantee this wouldn’t keep happening. Long story short, DO NOT MOVE HERE. They are shady people and will never tell you the truth until it is too late.
