We love our apartment at the Palisades. It is a spacious two bedroom apartment with an updated kitchen. There is lots of storage (two storage closets and large closets in each bedroom). We appreciate the included utilities, as it makes rent payments easier. Internet is not included, but runs about $50-60 per month for two people. There is available parking onsite for about $125/month if needed. There is NO elevator, so keep this in mind if needed for accessibility or convenience purposes. Pets are also not allowed. Management is rather responsive and takes care of any maintenance requests promptly. The location is in a nice, quiet neighborhood with many families. Our only complaints are the sometimes erratic heating (due to central control), and the somewhat pricey air conditioning charge from June-September (about $180 per month additional).

I've really enjoyed living in my Studio in the Palisades. The location is great - it's within walking distance of 14th Street, U Street, Dupont Circle, and Chinatown (in increasing order), all of the metro lines (in order Blue/Silver/Orange, Red, Yellow/Green), as well as Whole Foods, Safeway, and Trader Joes. My unit, although small, has a layout that helps it feel bigger because there's an alcove for my bed. I have a very large window that lets in a ton of light. Compared to other studios in the area, the Palisades units have newer flooring and appliances. Because the building is small, the management is pretty accessible and responsive. There are washers and dryers on almost every other floor, and you put money on a laundry card to pay for each wash. There is only 1 elevator which can be a hassle, so I often take the stairs. There isn't a gym in the building but tenants are given access to the gym in another nearby Bernstein Management building.
