Columbia Plaza Apartments

I love my apartment. It's a great size, and we have plenty of room for entertaining. It's close proximity to campus makes it so convenient (7-10 min walk). Management has always been prompt in answering any requests. Everything is well kept, and good quality. There is a market in the apartment complex that is a life saver when you don't want to walk to Trader Joe's. CVS/Watergate is right next door and the National Mall is only a few blocks down 23rd.

My only complaints are the price, location, and neighbors. The price is high, but also a very good value for Foggy Bottom. I only say location because Foggy Bottom isn't the most lively neighborhood. There's not a lot of night life, and a lot of places close early. That being said, it's extremely close to school, there is a Trader Joe's and Whole Foods within walking distance, the metro is only a few blocks away, and it is a safe and clean neighborhood, so the night life is only a minor gripe.

As for the neighbors...there are a lot of older residents and a couple families that do not hesitate to call in a noise complaint. Our apartment is large, but it has wood floors and sound bounces around, so we get complaints every couple weeks. It's really only an issue if you want to have a large group of people over.

Overall, I would highly recommend Columbia Plaza and plan to stay there throughout law school.

Great place to live for student

I really like living here. The studio is huge and you can find a roomate in GW Off Campus page. If you sounds from other apartments bother you, this may not be for you because you can hear steps and alley sounds. But I mean, we're young so it doesn't bother us that much.

About Foggy Bottom

The naturally foggy surroundings of the area gives it its own unique name - Foggy Bottom. Unfortunately, its name does not highlight the excellent quality of music, dance and drama practiced in the neighborhood every single day.

Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Colonial Arms Apartments
Lots of pretty row homes, walking distance to many restaurants, grocery stores, and my school. Lots of trees and a dog park near-by. Overall, very pretty and scenic to walk through, and also close to other neighborhoods and essential stores.

I like living in Foggy, it's easy to get to school but also is close to Georgetown, which is fun for food and shopping. The northern part of Foggy (near GW) is about 10 minute walk to Dupont too, which is great.

Short walk to Georgetown, West End, and Dupont Circle. Many restaurants nearby and close to metro so you can get to anywhere in the city conveniently.

Nice to be so close to school. Short walk from the mall and other tourist destinations. Bar/restaurant/night life scene leaves a lot to be desired.

It is really close to campus so a lot of GW folks live here! You can reach a lot of places on public transit.

Edge of Foggy Bottom bordering Georgetown - very safe and peaceful!
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Boathouse Apartments
I personally enjoy the quietness of the neighborhood and its location within a close walking distance of campus, Georgetown, the water, and convenience/grocery stores. The neighborhood is also very safe, I am a woman in my early 20's and I have never felt unsafe walking home late at night near my apartment.

Foggy Bottom is a great place to live given the proximity to the law school. It's also within walking distance of Georgetown and Dupont Circle which are fun places to go out with friends and classmates. It's also has lots of bike racks for the Capital Bikeshare nearby, and the Foggy Bottom metro stop is a few blocks up the street.
