Living on Connecticut in The Connecticut

The Connecticut is a great place to live. Filled with young professionals and families, this friendly building has a lot to offer! The building, tucked off the main road down it's own driveway, was completely redone in 2005. It comes with with a 24 hr concierge, secured entries, a fitness center, and an amazing rooftop pool with grilling area. It is a 5 minute walk to 2 metro stations, Cleveland Park and Van Ness on the redline, and is just a ten minute walk to the National Zoo! The neighborhood also offers a wide range of dining, shopping, and nightlife options in both Van Ness and Cleveland Park. The units themselves are costly, as they come with many amenities and upgraded appliances, but all in all, very worth it.

Reviewed by AmericanU Graduate Student living at The Chesapeake
The Forest Hills/Van Ness neighborhood is great. It is a very short walk to Tenleytown (15 mins) and a 10 min walk to the Van Ness Metro, Giant Food, CVS, and a plethora of good coffee shops and restaurants. The M4 bus stops 3 blocks up the road and takes you straight to AU and the L2 runs very consistently on Connecticut Ave. The Chesapeake backs up to Forrest Hills Park and Rock Creek is right down the street with lots of trails. Overall, the whole neighborhood is very safe and student-friendly.
Reviewed by Howard Law Student living at 3801 Connecticut Avenue
The neighborhood is very nice. Many things are in walking distance like a few restaurants, a movie theater, and the Cleveland Park Metro stop. It is a bit of a food desert in that the grocery stores and restaurants that are accessible are a tad on the expensive side. The neighborhood is pretty quiet and people are usually pretty friendly. Overall, a decent neighborhood for people at different stages in their lives.
Reviewed by Washington DC Resident living at Avalon The Albemarle
Van Ness is on several bus routes and very near to the (Van Ness) metro stop. Moving off of Connecticut Ave. quickly becomes entirely residential, but there are restaurants and other amenities (such as grocery stores, dry cleaners, etc) along Connecticut. It's not a crazy or busy neighborhood like several others, which personally, I appreciate, but it does mean you'll have to go a bit farther than home if you're looking to go out for the night.
Reviewed by DC Resident living at 3003 Van Ness
Van Ness/Forest Hills is quiet and a little boring. Not a lot of places to go out to eat or grab a drink in the immediate area. However, Cleveland Park and Tenleytown are fairly close. I love walking our dog up around International Drive and the embassies there. We frequently see deer coming up from Rock Creek Park, and the UDC/Howard Law students are mostly very courteous (many of them live in the neighborhood too, so they care about it also). The neighborhood feels very safe--lots of police presence, Secret Service sub-station in the neighborhood, and the local vagabonds are not aggressive to pedestrians--they mostly mind their own business.

I like the area on Connecticut avenue, just wish there were better food options. Great community, overall safe, love the HBCU next door (UDC). UDC is a great HBCU and community to be near.
Reviewed by Georgetown Resident living at The Saratoga
Nice, quiet, and safe with some restaurants in the area. Seems very family friendly and slower paced than downtown. Easy access to grocery stores.
Reviewed by Erik, GW Law Student living at Van Ness East A Condominium
Close to the Zoo and great restaurants. Close enough to Downtown, but far enough away where you're not in the chaos but still in DC.
Reviewed by Kristyn F living at The Saratoga
Pros: safe area (I can let my dog out after midnight and feel safe), <10 min walk to metro, bus stop right outside, grocery store/CVS <10 min walk away (although the giant isn't the greatest), lots of on-street parking available (great for guests),
Cons: not a lot of activities within walking distance
