Great amenities

Willard definitely has the best amenities among all apartments I have ever stayed at. When I first went to visit Willard, I found their lobby and rooftop very modern looking and new. Their rooms are quiet big, but they are a little bit old if you like modern interior. But overall, I think Willard is a great choice. It's super close to the metro too

The Willard

I've been living here for a bout half a year, I think Willard is a pretty nice apartment. Amenities are amazing, big pool, tennis court and chess ground. Everything in the lobby area is new, the gym looks super awesome, but the rooms are little bit small and old.

Willard Apartment

Lived here for nearly half a year. Great pool and fitness center, friendly people to live next to. management is very friendly and takes care of residents and fixes problems quickly. only negative aspect is that from time to time, construction noise tends to get loud.

The area the apartment is in is quiet and nice. There aren’t many noise issues, and I have never felt unsafe walking around the neighborhood. Friendship Heights is only about a 15-20 minute bike ride from AU or about a 40 minute walk through the northwest DC neighborhoods. I am very close to Whole Foods for convenient grocery shopping, and Trader Joe’s and Target are just up the street in Bethesda. For entertainment and outings, getting anywhere in DC from Friendship Heights is rather easy. The metro is only about 2 blocks from the apartment complex, and the bus station is just across the street. If you have a car or take an Uber, you can be pretty much anywhere you need to be within 20 minutes.

Very close to lots of shopping and easy access to red line. It seems like a safe area. The stores and grocery all seem like they are geared to the upper class (in price and offerings). Good for me working in Rockville but still wanting to go be with the younger DC crowd on the weekends. Definitely a very diverse area, lots of international residents/diplomats working in DC in this area.

Friendship height feels safe and a great place to shop.
Its easy to get around without a car. Although it is missing bars and pubs, its a great place to shop for groceries at Giants or Whole Foods or clothing and home decor.

Friendship Village feels very safe and is pretty walkable. While the demographic is getting younger, the neighborhood seems to be largely made up of older adults. The restaurants in the area are generally pretty good and the closeness to the metro makes it easy to head to Bethesda for even more dining and shopping options. The metro also makes it really easy to get to school since Tenleytown is only one stop away.

Love the safety and convenience of this neighboorhood - the free shuttle service is awesome. Grocery stores and pharmacies nearby, and lots of shopping. However, not much personality beyond that. Could you some 'hole in the wall' kind of ethnic restaurants (but on the other hand, Bethesda just down the road has some of that). It's a comfortable in between neighboorhood connecting Bethesda and DC.
Reviewed by Washington DC Resident living at 4701 Willard
If you have some cash, really good to go shopping here! Metro is red line and very convenient. Whole foods is my favorite place but if you want a more economical grocery, the Safeway and Giant are kind of gross. Lack of street parking is an issue - I wouldn't drive here unless you want to pay for a garage.

Pro- nice looking houses along the street, walking distance to the metro, safe.
Cons- noisy in the morning (can hear trucks at 6am) and aggressive drivers
