Great home for a well-established single person in DC. Quiet building for studying and doing school work. Great location for a DC address without being caught up in the fry of downtown.

These condos are individually owned and my landlord is great!! However, the building is old and the people who live here are as well. They “tell” on you and are very nosey. The building can also use updating although the pool is nice and the gym is okay.

Living in the Van Ness East Condominium has been a wonderful experience thus far.

Upsides: It's a Condo, so individual people, rather than an association, owns the unit. This allowed me to negotiate the rent down almost $300/month. Next to Metro station; tunnel to a Giant for the winter months; Utilities included; quiet, safe location; 24hr concierge; valet parking; guest parking; library, gym, 2 pools; each condo also has a separate storage unit that is about 5'x5'x8'. Huge floorplans with thick walls - I have about 1,000 sq. ft that overlooks a portion of rock creek park

Downsides:
NO DOGS ALLOWED :(
Commute to GW Law is approximately 20-30 min, ~15 of which is walking from Farragut North to the school. Totally worth it though.

Only heat during winter months, and A/C during the warmer months. Can get warm in the upper levels in spring even with heater off.

I really enjoy living in Van Ness East Condominiums. If you are looking for a party life, it is not here. However, if you are looking for quiet apartment building with friendly staff and new appliances/furniture this is it! There is a small gym and really nice outdoor pool. The location can't be beat as it is a 4 minute walk to the metro and Giant."

This newly renovated, luxury complex has two pools (outdoor) and a fitness center. Rock Creek Park is directly behind it, giving anyone a real feel of being in the woods. Additionally, in the winter, the underground walkway to Giant is ideal, and makes it very easy to not go outside.
