Ellicott House Apartment Review

Ellicott House Apartments is very nice and located in a great neighborhood. It is approximately 10 minutes away from AU by car. The property management should update the gym facility since most of the machines are outdated.

Great Space

Hardwood floors, upgraded kitchen. The maintenance staff is quick to address any issues that arise, and the front desk staff is friendly and helpful. The bathroom and heating/cooling system could use an upgrade, but overall a really great space all around.

Quiet, Safe, Overall nice place to live

Ellicott House has been a pretty good apartment building. It's pretty quiet, other residents are friendly enough and the gym and pool for resident use are a nice touch. The gym could use a bit more weight equipment, but they lack room for more. For those who depend on public transportation, the walk to the metro is a bit far, but manageable. The staff is always helpful, and I feel very safe with the controlled access to the building.

Clean and Recently Renovated!

I've enjoyed living at Ellicott House Apartments. The 1/1, 750 sqft apartment is a little bit cramped with two people and a cat, but the nice hardwood floors, plentiful kitchen storage, new appliances, and spacious balcony make up for it!

Ellicott House is within walking distance to the restaurants in Van Ness and the shopping in Tenleytown, and is situated in a nice area on Connecticut Avenue. I'd definitely recommend this complex for students at AU!

Ellicott House

I've lived in worse apartments, so I can't complain too much about this one. It had a lot of fees associated with move-in, however. The neighborhood is incredibly safe, and there is always a concierge on duty. However, it is a pretty far walk from the metro.

Not the best choice in the area

This building used to be great when Borger Management was in charge. Now the amenities have disappeared, and the new management is rude and unhelpful. That being said, the maintenance staff is quick to respond when there is a problem, and the concierge staff is friendly. However, for the price, you could live in Dupont where there are more activities and things to do.

Quiet but close enough to the city

The apartment has thicker walls, making it difficult to hear your neighbors (which is great!). The amenities are pretty good overall, but were better when previous management ran the building. Close enough to the city, but not in the "heart" of DC.

About Van Ness

Once the site of the Civil War, Van Ness has changed itself to embrace art, culture, cuisines and fashion. Places from Acacia Bistro for Mediterranean cuisine to the ideal urban escape at Rock Creek Park are well liked by most of the locals in the area during the weekends. The Hillwood Museum and Ga...

Van Ness Reviews

Safe, safe safe! I can walk at night and I have never felt unsafe. very residential area so not a TON of restaurants/bars, but very close to the grocery store. Quiet and lots of families.
Haven't had any issues in the neighborhood. Everything is fairly quiet. Almost too quiet if you are a city person.
It's very quiet and residential, but close to Tenleytown and Cleveland Park bars and restaurants.
Pretty quiet neighborhood as far as DC neighborhoods go. I personally really like that about it as I prefer a quiet, darker, more residential scene, but maybe others would like it to be 'more happening.' It's a short ride to busier areas like DuPont or Adams Morgan though.
The area is quite suburban, especially off connecticut avenue. Plenty of parks and green space, which makes it great for pets. There are a few cafes, but no nightlife to speak of, and nearby grocery stores are definitely smaller and dated.
The complex is filled with either students, early-mid career professionals, or older retired individuals. The building is typically safe but I would suggest moving to a higher floor. The commute from tenley town circle to the apartment can be dangerous at night. My GF and our other roommates has been repeatedly stalked back to the building, chased, and even assaulted at gun point (turned out to be a fake gun). So please be aware of this. (I know this is not unique to this commute).
The neighborhood is very safe, but sleepy. There is no nightlife – most local restaurants close by 9pm every day.
Van Ness is a great neighborhood.
