Older building but affordable for square footage

I spend more than most at Columbia plaza because I upgraded to a larger, upgraded one bedroom. I have a very large walk in closet and plenty of space for my partner and I to both work from home. The building is older without the newer amenities (pool) but it’s worth the price for the square footage, proximity to GW Law, and utilities included. I also pay extra to park my car in the garage parking (another $200/month). It is in Foggy Bottom so there is not much night life or trendy restaurants nearby

Great for School

I enjoy the square feet for the price and it's within easy walking distance of GW and the metro. I've had no real issues besides a very small cockroach issue that was solved quickly.

Management is fine unless you have a problem, then they are difficult

I have lived in my unit for 6 weeks, and I have been dealing with a cockroach infestation since the first night. Over the past 6 weeks, I have deal with cockroaches crawling in my fridge and bathtub, on the walls, and on my kitchen counter. I have seen at least 10 cockroaches a week, mostly alive, and that’s only when I am home. I reported every incident to the leasing office. They’ve scheduled me for 5 weekly treatments with their general exterminator as well as an extensive actisol treatment with a professional exterminator, and they resealed the baseboards. Thus far, it has not made any different.

Close to school and safe, that's about it

Close to GWU SMHS but not much going on in Foggy Bottom. Hands off management but they are still responsive to maintenance requests.

Apartment is a very short walk to campus and is very reasonable for the area. The building has mostly young professionals in it and several classmates are here. The gym is nice because you don't have to walk all the way to campus just to workout. Management responds well and I like that packages are at a secure location. Apartments are clean, get good heating/cooling that you can control by each room, and has a dishwasher.

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.
Reviewed by GW Med Student living at Claridge House Cooperative
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.
Reviewed by GW Med Student living at Claridge House Cooperative
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.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at The York
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.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Columbia Plaza
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.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Columbia Plaza
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.
