Great Location

I moved into The Colonel this summer. It's brand new construction, and the residents are mostly young professionals. The owners are very pet friendly, and a lot of residents have pets. In the summer, the rooftop deck is a great place to hang out. It's a great location; easy walk to downtown, Dupont Circle, and U Street. Bars and restaurants are springing up all around The Colonel.

About Shaw

One of the city's oldest neighborhoods, Shaw is a cocktail of history, entertainment culture and of course, food. This neighborhood brings performing arts from the Howard Theatre and Ethiopian food in Little Ethiopia. It also nurtures a sense of gratefulness in the African-American Civil War Memoria...

Reviewed by GW MBA Student living at 880 P at City Market At O Street
Easy walking to restaurants around 14th street and nice neighborhoods to take a stroll through.
Reviewed by Howard Med Student living at The Shay
Very vibrant part of town, with a lot of young professionals. There is a lot to do in the neighborhood from restaurants, bars, and even workout studios/gyms. There is so much within walking distance, and there are two metro stops also within walking distance. It is very convenient especially if you are a Howard student. You really couldn’t be in a better neighborhood than U Street corridor and the Shaw District.
Reviewed by McDonough MBA Student living at 1815 6th Street NW Unit 2
The Shaw neighborhood has a lot of history and culture in it. They have done a ton of remodeling old buildings. Lots of restaurants and bars (especially outdoor areas for covid times) with a varied range of upscale/foodie restaurants to divey bars.
Reviewed by Marne living at Heritage at Shaw Station
great so far. great location -- right by shaw metro station, giant grocery store, great restaurants & stores & nightlife. 5 minute walk to u street, and logan circle which is great.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Bailey Park Apartments
The only thing we're missing are fast-casual restaurants less than 5 minutes walking distance away, but coming from New York, I know that's a high expectation.
Reviewed by Financial Services Professional living at 812 Rhode Island Ave. NW
Near 14th and U streets, which have lots of awesome bars, shops, and restaurants and a mile from the White House.
Reviewed by Washington DC Resident living at Heritage at shaw station
