Park Place Review

Park Place can be pricey without a roommate but is very affordable with one. Each lease is different, some may have utilities included, mine did not. On average, power + wifi + water came out to an extra 400-600 a month depending on weather/usage.

Pros: Park place comes with private parking spaces (free of charge), a massive pool, beautiful outdoor surroundings, and a gated entrance. It is a 15 min walk from the HUH + the medical school and is located directly next to Children's Hospital (great for your peds rotation). Fantastic access to groceries/restaurants. Pet friendly. Good public transportation options (10 mins from Brooklyn-CUA Station) Forget paying hundreds of dollars for Uber. If you're out on U Street you can literally walk home, though do be careful regarding your personal safety. I've never had issues regarding robberies/assault, but many students have.

Cons: No gym, although Howard's gym is within walking distance. Pool is closed during the Fall/Winter and first half of Spring.

Great location if you have a car

Park Place Condominiums is a great location if you have a vehicle. There is a bus stop nearby that can get you to the metro but the building is located right off of 395. The building is older but it's been maintained pretty well. It's located in the Fairlington-Bradlee neighborhood which is much more quiet than some of the other parts of the area. But the building is close to a lot of different shopping/dining centers.

I love the neighborhood. Although Old Town is in the suburbs, it feels like like a mini city, and almost everywhere I want to go is within walking distance. There are great restaurants and bars a few blocks, we're close to the river, there are multiple parks nearby. There is a Whole Foods a block away from my building, and it takes me less than 10 minutes to walk to the King Street Metro station. I also have a dog, and there are so many dog parks and dog-friendly businesses in the area.

Pros:
- Safe, nearby grocery store, pet friendly, pool, close to restaurants, diverse in income types and styles of homes, etc.

Cons: Section 8 housing, a lot of people for a tiny pool.
Reviewed by Anonymous living at Meridian at Braddock Station
Lots of new development populated by yuppies and hip new businesses/restaurants, mixed in with pockets of section-8 housing and shady groups of people walking the streets.

Absolutely love it. So many friendly people and fun restaurants, coffee shops, stores, etc. Feels like you are apart of a community and very easy to meet people.

Public transportation is excellent. Really don't need a car. Holmes Run Park great for running and bicycling. Restaurants, shopping and malls within 5 miles.

Close to DC and other Virginia cities... good public transport... not as young and fratty as Arlington but still plenty of social opportunities... Love it

This is an awesome area. It is lots of fun to explore and a nice change from being in the city for school all the time.

Old Town is great! So many restaurants, bars, shopping, parks, and hiking. Easy to walk to all the shops on King Street, and super close (walkable) to two metro stops, Braddock Road and King Street. Commute to Foggy Bottom via metro is only about 30 minutes, and it is a straight trip on the blue line from Braddock Road to Foggy Bottom-GWU.
