Great!

I've lived here for almost 6 months. The building is brand new and the apartments have all of the bells and whistles you would want-- ice maker, dishwasher, garbage disposal, built-in microwave, hardwoods, quiet drawers, W/D in-unit. The common areas are well-maintained. Management is friendly and responsive.

Fantastic place to live

The Drake is a brand new building in Dupont Circle and looks beautiful. Like most new luxury apartments in DC, The Drake comes with tons of great community amenities like a rooftop deck with a griling stations and a fantastic gym (lots of treadmills, ellipticals, and a good set of free weights). The views from the roof are fantastic and the community lounge is great for entertaining guests. Surprisingly, management has been really friendly so far! Lastly, I really love living in Dupont Circle. The location has tons of great bars and restaurants nearby and is really close to the Dupont Circle Metro stop.

Reviewed by GW Med Student living at Westpark Apartments
Great neighborhood. Very walkable, even at night I always feel safe. Usually lots of people out and about. Young community, lots of bars and some awesome restaurants. Farmers markets and outside concerts in the warm months. Easy access to foggy bottom metro (15min walk) and dupont metro (5 min walk). Lots of green space (rock creek park). Georgetown 20 min walk with great shopping. 20 min walk to AdMo with great restaurants/bars

I love the neighborhood! Perfectly situated between Dupont Circle and Foggy Bottom. Walking distance to campus, while still being separate enough to feel independent. Tons of restaurants, bars, and stores around. The neighborhood feels very safe but is quiet and residential, too.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Hastings Court
Dupont Circle is a great area. I like that my block feels very residential, but I'm close to convenience stores, the Metro, and only a 15-20 minute walk to the law school. Sometimes I walk over to Georgetown, which is nice.

I have never felt unsafe walking home at night from campus. The area is mostly embassies and very fancy apartments and townhouses.

West End is amazing! Such great restaurants and stores around!

Amazing food and restaurants all within walking distance
Reviewed by GW Resident living at Hamilton House
Hamilton House is located in the crossings of West End, Foggy Bottom, and DuPont. It is a very clean, classy area. Super incredible how you can walk down the street to old-town DC, walk down another street and its all clubs and bars of DuPont, walk the other direction and its GW, walk another direction and its DuPont circle and all the incredible food. This is an ideal location, especially being situated right in between Foggy Bottom / GW Metro stop and the DuPont Metro stop.
