Pros: Affordable unit in neighborhood going through gentrification. On the safer side of Georgia Avenue. Easy walk to metro, Safeway.
Cons: The building is old and definitely has a smell. Carey’s smell doesn’t have a smell.
One day when it rained the ceiling dropped slightly on the bed but did not drip the other days that it rained.
Outside of the unit below, living here has been relatively quiet, most of the neighbors keep to themselves. If you're looking for a nice place to rent in DC at a fair price, then this place is for you.
I believe the unit is a non-upgraded unit, you just kind of have to deal with it as is (AC unit, shower etc.). TV and sound system updated.
There’s an in building- Laundry facilities that is rarely never jam packed (you can use your card, so no annoying trips for change).
I did get locked out after the door was broken to the building lobby but outside of those few days you can use key fob access and controlled entry.
The unit is spacious apartments, hard wood flooring. Again, some neighborhood highlights: Park near by and I believe a library, commuter friendly. Again, right on the Georgia Ave/Petworth metro (green and yellow line). Hipster friendly areas up the street in GA Ave (Coffee shops, quirky breakfast spots etc.)
I saw a decent amount a lot of families in the neighborhood. I don't know that there are many families in our building (but the neighborhood itself).
