Okay place to live, but management could be better

The Meridian at Gallery Place is a clean & safe apartment complex. The Chinatown area has been a great place to live. That said, I've found management can be hard to deal with.

Good place to live!

It is central to most of DC and has a wide variety of activities around it. It is a social building, mostly made up of Georgetown Law students, due to its proximate location to the law school. I recommend living here if you are recently out of school or attending post-grad school.

Super convenient downtown living

Great building downtown for young working professionals. It is a lively building and filled with many young professionals around the ages of 20-27. I would not recommend it for a family, but it does the trick for those new to the city. Very convenient to most places in DC!

Enjoyed living at Meridian at Gallery Place

I have enjoyed the apartment over the past years and will be leaving this year. The amenities are great and it is a wonderful starter apartment for those graduating college and moving to DC with a roommate. Management is hard to deal with when signing leases, but after that it is all good.

Very Nice building to live in

The building is very nice. Most of the floor plans have a sunroom, which most residents use as another bedroom, making it more affordable than other similar buildings. There are a lot of young professionals in the building. Maintenance is great- always respond very quickly to issues and fix problems without question.

Great Apartment for Recent Graduates

Great location in Chinatown, but you pay for the location more so than the apartment itself. Most tenants turn the sun room into a second bedroom, washer and dryer are in unit, and a study lounge, pool, and gym are all included in the rent which is a nice addition.

Beautiful, modern building in the perfect location

This is a beautiful, very modern building with top of the line amenities. You walk into an attractive lobby, and everything is consistently well kept. Management is very quick to take care of any issues with appliances (ie. light bulb change). I would highly recommend this building!

Great place to live

This place is nice. New management is very nice and helpful. Location is great. I don't use the amenities much. I do wish the price were a little lower but you get a good, safe, nice place for the price. I haven't been here too long but so far the stay has been pleasant with no drama.

Location can't be beat!

I like the overall feel and social aspects to the building, the location cannot be beat!! The management is horrible and extremely rude.

I have lived here for two years and like it overall, the front desk staff are always welcoming and kind! Nice to come and go seeing smiling faces!

Great place to live out of college

I think the building is a great starter building for post grads just moving to DC. Has everything you need. Friendly management, gym, pool, decks. A very social building! Price is reasonable for the area, and definitely a great location for all of DC!

Penn Quarter Reviews

19 reviews
There are always places to eat and things to do. Also the apartment is only about 1 mi from the Mall so it's great if you are a runner. In terms of getting to work it typically takes me 50min-1 hour on the metro one way and the metro stop is a couple of blocks from the building. I typically drive to work which (by commuting slightly before peak morning traffic and slightly after peak evening traffic) is around 35-40 min one way. The building is right off of 395, which means you don't have to do too much city driving ever.
Penn quarter is close to most places. Out of three roommates, two of us work in NoMa and one works near Farragut. All three of us walk when it is nice weather. The area doesn't have a lot of really cool, cultural bars but for every day places they are totally fine. There are lots of nearby groceries - safeway and walmart are walking distance from me. Its a safe area that can be a little pricey for rent.
I enjoy the fact that there are numerous places to eat and happy hour at in the neighborhood. My only complaint is that it doesnt necessarily have a "club" or "lounge spot".
Great neighbourhood if you like city life. Busy, loud, fairly safe area. Extremely accessible to the metro. Fairly central area. Near the Verizon center. Lots of restaurants and bars. Near the national mall. Can walk to work if I wanted to. Grocery stores close. No complaints for living in Chinatown!
The area is safe and easily accessible by bus and metro. You can access the Red, Blue/Orange and Yellow/Green within a few blocks of walking. The area is close to Chinatown but far enough away if you want a break from all the people and. There are great restaurants and bars that are great for both residents and those new to DC.
There are great restaurants, a weekly farmers market, plenty of events, walking distance to the mall, and many museums. It's within walking distance to a couple of grocery stores and it's easy to access the busses and metro.
Very safe and lots of restaurants and bars. It is great for dinner and happy hour. Very close to the mall and all the monuments. Great for running and outdoor activities. Life night and day.
Tons of awesome restaurants nearby! If you’re more of a bar hopper it’s perhaps not for you, but close metro means those spots are a 10 min ride away!
