  I moved here last year and recently renewed my lease. I have truly enjoyed my time at Park Kennedy! The front desk staff are friendly and welcoming—they always greet you with a smile and make you feel at home. Mr. Leslie and Valencia are always on top of things, whether it’s handling packages, answering questions, or just checking in to make sure everything’s going well. Their professionalism and warmth really set the tone for the community. The management and maintenance team are always accommodating; requests are always done in a timely manner. I’ve submitted a few work orders over the past year—from minor fixes to appliance issues—and each time, they’ve been addressed within 24-48 hours. It’s such a relief to know that if something goes wrong, it gets taken care of quickly. The building itself is clean, well-maintained, and in a great location. Having a Metro stop across the street is such a convenience and having a balcony to look out the courtyard is a nice bonus.

  My daughter lives at Park Kennedy and loves it! I visit very often and find the facilities well maintained and extremely welcoming. Kudos to all the staff but especially Mr. Leslie who has always gone above and beyond to provide friendly, professional and helpful concierge services. Only editing my review to add a note regarding the excellent customer service provided by Valencia at the concierge desk during my recent visit. Her friendliness and going above and beyond to assist with packages during my recent visit is very much appreciated! Job well done!

  DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! PLEASE READ BEFORE MOVING This was by far the worst living experience I’ve ever had. As someone who lived at Park Kennedy for THREE YEARS not three weeks or three months I can honestly say this building has a laundry list of problems, and I would never recommend it to ANYONE. Let’s start with safety. The building is directly across the street from the D.C. Jail (you can see the jail from your bedroom window) where people are released throughout the day, and there’s also a shelter across the street. (AND HERE’S SOMETHING ELSE THEY WON’T TELL YOU… THINK YOU’LL AT LEAST BE ABLE TO SLEEP IN ON THE WEEKENDS? THINK AGAIN. EVERY SINGLE SATURDAY AT 12:00 P.M., A LOUD SIREN GOES OFF FROM THE D.C. JAIL ACROSS THE STREET. IT IS LOUD ENOUGH TO WAKE UP THE ENTIRE BUILDING. EVERY. SINGLE. SATURDAY. SO IF YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A PEACEFUL WEEKEND OR HOPING TO SLEEP IN, YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT IT. THAT’S THE KIND OF THING THEY DON’T TELL YOU BEFORE YOU SIGN A LEASE.) But let’s say you get over that part because they sell you on the yoga room and decor…the bigger issue is inside the building. They no longer have 24-hour security, and there are constantly people wandering the hallways who don’t even live there. As a woman, I never felt completely safe, and I definitely would not recommend living here if you have children. Next, let’s talk about the “luxury” amenities they love to advertise. You’ll never want to use them because the building is filthy. The carpets and elevators constantly smell like and are covered in urine when the elevators are actually working. I’ve personally gotten stuck in one before. There is trash left in the hallways, food sitting in the common areas, and ROACHES in the trash rooms AND units. And after you sign your lease you can not break it unless you are willing to pay $5,000+. Oh, and be prepared for your apartment to constantly smell like cigarette smoke. Not every once in a while constantly!!! The smell comes through the vents and hallways and ends up in your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and even your clothes. Waking up every morning to your apartment smelling like cigarettes while paying “luxury apartment” prices is ridiculous. If you think you’ll at least have peace inside your apartment, think again. The walls are paper-thin. People are constantly screaming in the hallways, banging on doors, fighting, and the fire alarms go off in the middle of the night so often that you’ll end up standing outside half asleep wondering if it’s real this time. I’ve even had my dog’s food STOLEN from the package room. I could honestly go on and on, but I think you get the point. I almost never leave reviews, but I genuinely don’t want someone else making the same mistake I did. This is NOT a luxury building. You can find a much better apartment in D.C. for the same price or even cheaper. If you care about your safety, peace of mind, or mental health, move literally anywhere else. And please, don’t just trust the online reviews. You will notice all of the reviews are from people who VISITED or RECENTLY moved in. Please go tour the building and ask people who actually live there what their experience has been. You’ll get a much different story. Management with the exception of Joshua and Ms. Gina Marie when she was there, is completly unresponsive and impossible to get in contact with. I’m sure management will feel the need to respond to this review acting concerned, or disregard my review because I am not using me full name. Please don’t. I would’ve appreciated that same urgency when I was actually a resident. For the THREE YEARS I lived there, residents raised concern after concern, and management was consistently unresponsive. A public reply now doesn’t change the experience I and many other residents who live there CONTINUE to have. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! P.S. The ONLY positive thing about this building is Mr. Leslie, the doorman. He is kind, professional, and genuinely cares about the residents. He deserves a raise because, honestly, he’s the only thing keeping this place together.

  I frequently visit the Park Kennedy area and have always been impressed by how well the property is maintained. The landscaping and exterior are consistently clean and inviting, which really makes the community stand out. One of my favorite spots nearby is Sala Thai—it’s a great restaurant and definitely worth trying. The childcare center also appears to be a welcoming environment for families. During a recent visit, I had the opportunity to speak with the Property Manager while she was walking the community. She was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer my questions about the neighborhood and all of the exciting development taking place in the area. It was clear that she takes pride in both the property and the surrounding community. Park Kennedy is in a fantastic location with convenient access to restaurants, shopping, parks, and public transportation. From everything I’ve seen, it appears to be a beautiful, quiet, and well-managed community. I would absolutely recommend Park Kennedy to anyone looking for a place to call home.
