Dupont Circle — 8.8/10 Rating (based on 156 neighborhood reviews)
Dupont Circle is close enough to school to make for an easy commute, but far enough away to feel like I actually am off-campus in my free time. The area has plenty of food and going out options and is close enough to AdMo, which also boasts some great restaurants and fun bars. My favorite bagel place, cafe, and bakery are merely steps from our building—namely Tatte, Call Your Mother, and Un Je Ne Sais Quoi. Would recommend living here.

In a great spot. A block from Dupont Circle, a few blocks from the bars and restaurants on Connecticut Ave. 3-5 min walk to the Dupont metro stop on the red line. 2 min walk to Streets at 22nd and N, 5 min walk to Trader Joe's on 25th and L, and 10 min from the Whole Foods near GW.

10 min walk from GW Law. I Uber when I'm in a rush; if I don't feel like paying for an Uber, it's super easy to scooter or bike down 20th St in the separate bike lane.

Hamilton House is located in the crossings of West End, Foggy Bottom, and DuPont. It is a very clean, classy area. Super incredible how you can walk down the street to old-town DC, walk down another street and its all clubs and bars of DuPont, walk the other direction and its GW, walk another direction and its DuPont circle and all the incredible food. This is an ideal location, especially being situated right in between Foggy Bottom / GW Metro stop and the DuPont Metro stop.

Traffic and sirens can make it a noisy place, especially if your unit faces a major street. Walkability to campus, public transit, the mall, social areas, and businesses make it a prime location though. Mixture of GW students, Gtown students, and working professionals make up the primary population in the area if I had to estimate. I feel very safe here.

South of the circle shuts down on the weekends. It's a ghost town of high rise office buildings devoid of any character that makes DC such a loveable city.

The M street and Connecticut Avenue bars are close however, it's a very specific crowd of people and not the place to go if you have an aversion to sticky floors and drunk coeds. In terms of every day errands: there are plenty of CVS type stories in the general vicinity however be prepared to walk at minimum a mile to get groceries. On a nice day it's no big deal but on a rainy day you're going to wish there was a closer option.

The Dupont Farmer's Market is a lovely respite from the corporate bustle on the weekends and you can't beat the location in terms of convenience for getting around the city. It's walking distance to everything and a great launching off point if you want to get out of the city for the day.

I also can easily walk to school or take a very quick bus. There are tons of restaurant and bar options in the neighborhood as well. The best thing about the North end of Dupont is it is a little quieter and more residential than the south side but you can very easily access the busier parts if you want.

Dupont is a really nice place to live. There are restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores all around and a couple of places to shop. I've never felt unsafe in this neighborhood so far.

West End is busy during the 8-6 business hours but becomes a ghost town at night. You can easily walk to the bars/restaurants in Georgetown, Foggy Bottom, DuPont, 14th Street.

Good location. Walking distance to GW campus (good because we are GW students) but also close to Dupont. Good metro access for both red line and orange/blue/silver line

I love living in Dupont because of its location near downtown and that its still a neighborhood environment. The main issue is terrible grocery store options.

Centered within grocery, food and clothes shopping options, all major transit stops, close to nightlife but not too loud, and makes me feels safe. Great!
