It is a very nice place to live with very good amenities. It is close to the metro, and you have a parking access to the grocery store (ideal when it rains or snows).
The only thing I don't like is the price (you enter with a nice deal, but they get you back the second year).

I am a student at University of the District of Columbia so this apartment is a great location for me. I can walk to class, the metro, and the grocery store. I also sometimes walk one neighborhood down to Cleveland Park (about ten minutes) to the restaurants that are located there because there is a good variety. The rent can be quite expensive for a student but if you can find some good roommates this is a nice option.

Great location, right on the metro, great pool and outdoor space. However, garage is in disrepair, poor maintenance in general (things keep breaking), attentive to maintenance requests, but a little disorganized. We have had maintenance staff visit our apartment several times for the same request, when the issue was fixed with the first visit--seems like a little problem with the ticketing system. NB: Bedbugs are present in the building
. Friendly staff. Active tenants association. Pets are allowed, to some chagrin among some tenants of the building. Active group of dog owners who arrange "Puppy Play Time" weekly and inform each other of pet issues, local dog sitters, great vets, things to look out for (for instance, a weird spot in the yard that spooks most of the dogs).

Other than a small problem with a few mice in the winter, I enjoy living here very much. The location is unbeatable, right by the metro, bus stops, and grocery store (Giant). There's a lot of other stores and restaurants within walking distance as well. Friendly management and neighbors, who try to help you resolve your issues. They were great in helping resolve our mouse problem. All utilities except internet/cable are included, but there is free wifi in the lobby and a business center for residents' use.

Everything about this apartment building is great - except, as a young person, the location. After two years at 3003 Van Ness, I started to crave more of the action that comes with city living. That being said, if that's not a crucial component of being in DC for you, this building is top-notch.

The best part about 3003 Van Ness is the location. It's close to the metro, and has all your basic conveniences. There is a Giant and a Walgreens close by, and tons of bars and restaurants close by on Connecticutt Avenue. I've always felt fairly safe in and around the building, and the building has solid amenities, some of which are being renovated.

This is a large complex (approx. 625 units) with large apartments (750-985 sf), and is a rent control apartment. It is less than 2 blocks from the metro, a grocery story and 2 drug stores. The amenities include a large swimming pool; a BBQ/picnic area; business center; small gym; parking garage; laundry room on every floor; 24-hour concierge desk; social room. Both cats and dogs are allowed but you must pay a monthly $65 fee. I stay due to the area convenience - metro, grocery/drug stores - and the size of the apt. The rent is overpriced; management does the bare minimum to maintain the property and never enforces or adheres to DC rent or noise ordinances. Once I have completed school, I plan on leaving.

This is a fifteen minute metro ride from campus, right on the redline, and the apartments are huge. It is very close to UDC so some young folks, but at times it can feel very old. That said, there is a beautiful pool and balcony area in the summer, pets welcome, and all utilities included.
