Decent Place

More affordable than actual DC, still very close to Metro, very easy to get to District. Building is old but maintained. Pricing for nearly everything is separate, which is transparent but confusing. Have not been for a year, cant say about increases

Safe Neighborhood!

Of all the apartments I've lived in, I enjoy this the most.
The neighborhood feels safe at nighttime, I can walk my dog without fear of anything.
My friends also have raving compliments about the setup of the apartment and the privacy it allows with the walls being somewhat soundproof.

Riverhouse

This apartment complex is in a really nice, quiet neighborhood and you really can't get the same value in downtown DC. Of course the drawback is that going out on say U Street on the weekend means an hour long trek back home. The neighborhood also doesn't have a ton of character, but it does have your chain restaurants and the mall. Our concierge is the man and they come and fix ANYTHING that's wrong in our apartment. Pool is kinda cool, although it's only open memorial day to labor day which sucks. Grills are awesome and the roof is clutch. Just a short walk to the metro!

River House

I've been here for 3 years and have no complaints. Pentagon City is so safe and metro accessible. I'm right across from the mall and tons of restaurants. The community is amazing. Management plans events and tastings throughout the year. There are hardly any issues. Once, the AC went out for a few hours and we were given donuts the next day. Maintenance is prompt to address requests and everyone is super nice. I honestly don't intend to move out of here until I buy a house. 100% satisfied

Great Place to Love!

I have lived at Riverhouse for 2 years now and it's been great. My favorite part is the lobby area which has tons of sitting and lounging space. It has free wifi and I love to study there. The rooftop is also a great study spot. I love that it is pet friendly. I don't have a dog but love to play with all the ones in the building. The valet downstairs is also super convenient for dry cleaning. Management is great too

Location, Location, Location

This apartment is a great value for the location that it is in! Walking distance from Pentagon City metro, Pentagon Row that has numerous restaurants and shops and Pentagon City Mall. The apartments are very large but not have the most up to date fixtures. There are two great gyms and two large pools. There is also a great mix of young professionals and families. We have lived there for 5 years and don't plan on leaving anytime soon!

Riverhouse Apartments: Good value, great location

Directly across from Pentagon Row, so the metro is easily accessible inside the Pentagon City Mall. The Pentagon is in walking distance. There are 3 buildings, and each has a nice rooftop deck with a view of DC (especially great on July 4th because you can see the fireworks over the mall). Service requests are always handled promptly. No washer/dryer in unit, have to go down to the laundry room in the basement. There is dry cleaning service in the basement as well.

Getting around Pentagon City


Pentagon City Reviews

66 reviews
Pentagon City is nice and fairly quiet, which is good for studying. There are some students around but it's mostly families and working individuals. There's not a ton to do, but there are some nice places to walk, and there is a good array of restaurants. The apartment is close to a Harris Teeter and a Whole Foods and Costco.
Safe. Feels like a retirement community. Drivers stop to let you cross the street to the apartment.

For the metro, the ride itself is about 20 min. I just budget in extra time for walking and not wanting to arrive just on time. It shouldn't take 45 minutes to get to school unless they're doing maintenance. Then, add 10 minutes.
The Crystal City and Pentagon City area has a lot of restaurants and shopping in convenient walking distance. The area tends to clear out after 5 on weekdays, but is often busy on weekends, mostly with tourists. I have always felt safe walking alone in the area at whatever time of day/night.
There is not a lot of green space, unless you count Long Bridge "Park", which is a dead-end, cement "bridge" that looks over soccer and baseball fields with some views of D.C.
The location is great. It's a 7 minute walk to the blue line metro, and the total commute to campus is 25 minutes (when the blue line is running properly). An uber takes about 12 minutes and costs an average of $5 per ride (with uber pool). Pentagon City has just about everything you could need. There is a Whole Foods across the street, and the Fashion Center mall is right next to the metro station. There are restaurants, coffee shops, and convenience stores, and a very well maintained public park.
General vibe is 30-somethings wanting to settle down, lots of dogs. Not a huge social scene (which I'm A-OK with).

Pros:
-Very metro-accessible (blue/yellow, so can get into the city in multiple directions if there are delays)
-Walkable - easy to get to grocery store, Pentagon City mall, library, restaurants, etc. within minutes
-Quiet and safe, and generally well-lit in the evenings

Cons:
-I'd like to see a few more restaurant options. There are good casual dining options, like Naked Pizza, California Pizza Kitchen, and the mall food court, but besides Bonefish Grill there's not much a step up from that.
-I don't feel much sense of community, and don't know my neighbors. Not as diverse-seeming as other parts of DC.
The Pentagon City area is safe, quiet (except for big shopping weekends!), and well-lit. Grocery store (Harris Teeter) and tons of other shopping options for all other needs. The metro station is convenient to all area apartment complexes. Great green space/parks across from mall with lots of walking paths. Closest churches however are on 23rd St in Crystal City -- which is not too far of a walk in good weather!
There are dining and shopping options galore. A massive three story shopping mall directly across the street. There are multiple parks in the area and grocery shopping options are within a 15 minute walk. There is a public library nearby and many bus routes.
Safe, affordable. Easy walking access to restaurants and grocery store. Quick access to D.C. via Blue/Yellow lines.
