Sheffield is pretty good. It is one of the cheaper options in the area and the actual apartment is updated with new fixtures and appliances. I have lived in the same apartment for over a year now but I will likely seek other avenues for next renewal.

Cons:
Closet space - I make it work but the closet is small
Pros:
Awesome gym, huge pool, work space, close to mailboxes, parking lot (you pay for spot).

Sheffield Court is clean and walking distance from campus

I moved here from New York City and wow it's so much more space. My apartment is by no means large, but it was much bigger than what I grew accustomed to in NYC and I pay less in rent now! I have lived in the same apartment for all of law school which is both a testament to how much I like living in Sheffield Court and also how much I hate moving. Also, this complex used to be old army barracks, so many of the walls are cement. I've never lived in an apartment complex where I hear so little noise from my neighbors.

My biggest complaints about this place are honestly superficial. The ventilation isn't the best in my specific apartment and I would prefer to live in an apartment with 2 bathrooms and hardwood floors. The maintenance staff here is INCREDIBLE. Sheffield Court also has a pool, pool house, game room, and gym. There are a bunch of restaurant style booths in the pool house that are really great for studying if you need time away from the library/your own apartment.

Short walk to campus, convenience store really close by along with some restaurants and a nail salon. Lots of dog owners so there are always puppers around. Most of the “old model” apartments were renovated in 2012 and the appliances are really great. Maintenance is very helpful and always quick to come (while I had covid they carried my packages to my door so I didn’t have to go downstairs and potentially expose neighbors). Good amount of available parking even without a pass/reserved space. Nice people, never too noisy. The community has a discussion board in their app which is how i got all my furniture and a pet sitter in my building. There is also a community center which I do school work in every weekend. I’ve heard basement apartments aren’t great tho.

The rent prices look good for this area but don't be fooled. The management company is horrible and they rarely handle issues. We had every problem I could have imagined and more... Rodents, waters, insects, security, etc. Save yourself the headache.

It's a 15min walk from the court house metro station. The management is very responsive to complaints. However, it's very close to fort myer and some mornings you can hear rifles firing. Not a huge amount of storage space.

This apartment complex is great value and is very close to the Arlington GUTS shuttle.

I chose Sheffield Court because of its great price, close proximity to the metro (Courthouse stop), and relative proximity to Georgetown University (15 minute bike ride).

My bachelorette pad is an excellent apartment for young professionals looking not to break the bank, but not expecting tons of amenities. We do have a washer/dryer in unit and a gym, which I'm grateful for. I also appreciate the many ethnic restaurants that surround us.

Sheffield Court has been a great starter apartment - cheaper than living in downtown DC, but close enough to the Metro to be considered "city living." Overall, I like it, but I wish it were less expensive for what you get. I can't complain, though.
