Good value

Nice quiet neighborhood, no Metro station but reasonably easy to get around by bus/walking/biking. Management is OK but takes a while to get things fixed around the building. Decent amenities (pool, gym, doorman 24/7). Apartment is well laid out with lots of storage space.

Modern and in a great location

Not great metro accessibility in Glover Park, so I have to take the bus to get into DC. However, there are a ton of different buses that come down Wisconsin so I never have to wait longer than 5 minutes for a bus. Otherwise, the building is relatively modern and has a great location (between a Whole Foods and a Safeway). There's a pretty good gym in the building, plus a Balance Gym about two hundred feet away from the building.

The Observatory

The building is quiet, in a great location, with decent amenities. Some apartments are newly renovated. They're well laid out. There's underground parking, which is extremely safe and practical. It's a short walk to Whole Foods, Safeway, and Georgetown. The Georgetown shuttle stops right in front of the building every 15 minutes or so.

Observatory Condominiums of Georgetown

I absolutely love living here! My unit comes with access to the gym in the building, the outdoor pool (open in the summer), parking in the garage below the building, ~3 minute walk to the grocery store, and ~12 minute walk to school. The people who work at the front desk in the lobby are so friendly! It is also a quiet environment, which is great for studying!
