Such a wonderful apartment!

Appliances are all up to date, but the apartment itself is very out of date and run down. The elevators are also terrible and have been under construction for months now.

Willard Towers

I've been staying with Willard for about four months now. I love the location it's only an 8-min walk to the metro. People are very friendly here, and we have a shuttle service every day except on Sundays. The management team sends out welcome letters to people when they first move in. The front desk people are always friendly and helpful. The rooftop pool is definitely a plus!!! Everything is renovated and our gym is stunning too.

I like that this apartment is a walkable distance to the redline. I love the recently renovated rooftop and gym. Our apartment has a huge living room and decent sized bedrooms. I love my floor to ceiling Windows. The only downside to this apartment is that Willard avenue is a noisy street, and I can keep dump trucks and the garage truck at 6am.

I love my apartment because it is the most spacious I have found in the area. It has updated kitchen, etc. which was also a must. Laundry is terrible - it is per floor and the machines frequently break, are small, are full, or some other issue. Management is hit or miss - they responded to our several mice incidents quickly...but when they hit us with a 15% rent increase after the first year, they were not as quick to respond to our complaints. Safety is good, but there was just an incident in our parking garage where the attendant was held up at gunpoint. They have since added security measures (you need to use a key fob to enter). Good location to shopping and Whole Foods, helpful when the shuttle runs from the building but otherwise an 8 minute walk. They were great with snow removal on the sidewalks. Building is VERY diverse in age as well as cultures. There are people who have been living in the building for 50 years and people with babies and college students from AU...really a mix. Pool and roof is very nice in the summer - but keep in mind it is only open for 3 months! Grills are great - so far I have always had to compete with someone to get a spot but people are fairly good about sharing.

I have mixed emotions about 4701 Willard. Good location for a decent price...until rent increased by 15% in a year. Not the most social place to live if you're in your 20s, but it may be improving since the renovations kicked all the retired people out (seriously). We have had rodent problems, which is not fun. Not terrible, but not amazing. There are limited perfect options in the DC metro area so I think this is pretty average.

Our rent was raised 15% from the year before, which really left a sour taste in our mouth. Otherwise, the amount of space we get is very nice compared to many tiny dc buildings. We've also had a lot of trouble with mice, broken heating/cooling systems, etc. There was significant construction in the past two years and now that is over, the space looks much nicer.

I'm happy living at the Willard. I think it's definitely one of the most modern looking rooftops that they have. They just repainted everything, and the pool is amazing! It has a great location, restaurants and shopping are just steps away. Overall, I like living here a lot.

I just moved to Willard about half a year ago, and I absolutely love their amenities. They just redid their pool and lobby and gym, and they look fantastic. Super modern looking and super friendly people. The rooms are not renovated, but they are not bad at all. Very big rooms and their kitchens have nice grills even!
