I've been living at The Residences at Eastern Market for a couple of months and can easily say that…read moreit is the best overall experience I have had with apartments in DC. I've been living here long enough to address every part of apartment living and will break down each experience individually. Leasing: There was an issue with my income verification, but after connecting with the Property Manager, Charlotte Brown, she quickly got to the bottom of the situation and I had my rental approval in hand shortly thereafter. I'm glad that I had this initial challenge because I was able to see how the management team handled the situation and I couldn't be happier with how effectively it was handled and resolved. Apartment: My 5th-floor one-bedroom apartment is nearly 800 square feet with a gorgeous view of Eastern Market, the Capitol Building's dome, the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, and Senate office buildings. My floorplan includes a spacious living room and bedroom, a built-in oven, microwave, and gas range in the kitchen, and an in-unit laundry room with a linen closet and extra storage space. I utilize the dining room space as my home office and it provides plenty of space for a large L-shaped desk. The developer, EastBanc, originally planned to build condos and included many features that are not found in any apartments I've looked at in DC, like extra insulated floors and walls (I have not once heard any noise from my neighbors), gourmet kitchen with built-in appliances and externally vented exhaust hood, individual apartment venting with 100% fresh air replacement, customizable closet storage system, real hardwood floors, and more. Amenities: The building has an incredible 6th-floor rooftop with a community room and open-air grilling stations with panoramic views of Capitol Hill, Navy Yard, and Virginia in the distance. There are many additional residence spaces like a main floor community room, coffee and tea station, outdoor courtyard, library, rooftop heated pool, a well-appointed gym, and a Trader Joe's right below. We can even access Trader Joe's without stepping outside! The 24-hour concierge is one of the best I have experienced. Every concierge quickly knew my name and easily handled any request I had as well as the large quantity of packages I had delivered. They will even deliver the packages to your apartment if you'd like. It was amazing to come home from work and have all my packages neatly stacked in my apartment. They've all quickly made me feel like part of the family. As part of our rent package, we can receive complimentary light housekeeping services every other week. I've taken advantage of this and have been amazed at the quality and care from the housekeepers. They will also take care of any dry cleaning, grocery shopping, plant watering, taking packages to the post office, and all I pay for is the cost of groceries or the dry cleaning. Maintenance and Management: My apartment was freshly painted and looked great at move-in. Shortly after, I discovered a couple of issues like a refrigerator water filter needing replacement and a toilet tank that wouldn't always refill completely. Maintenance was at my door first thing the next morning with replacement parts and were in and out in less than 10 minutes. The property is kept immaculately clean by the housekeeping staff and the residents here also seem to take great pride in maintaining a clean and inviting atmosphere. The management at this building is second to none. The Property Manager, Charlotte Brown, is amazing at her job and as a person. She has hosted three or four resident events in the short two months since I moved in and each one had fantastic food, drinks, and entertainment. She knows every resident, child, and pet in the building and goes above and beyond in everything she does. I signed my lease while living in another state and when I finally met Charlotte in-person for the first time after moving in, she gave me a big hug and I immediately felt at home. Price: This building is priced quite a bit higher than any other apartment I've lived in. However, when looking at the price per square foot, it isn't as large of a price difference as you'd think since these apartments are so much larger than others in the area. Additionally, the amenities that I mentioned earlier make this building very attractive and add significantly to the value. The fact that I can live in a large, quiet, luxury apartment, with numerous on-site amenities, in the middle of Capitol Hill, bi-weekly housekeeping, instantly responsive maintenance, regular community events, and a five-star property manager like Charlotte, this is probably the best value for an apartment I've ever had.

From the friendly concierge to the management team, all have taken steps to make sure our move-in was a smooth process. The parking garage is easy to get to via the same elevator that takes us to our apt floor. You are also steps away from the grocery store (Trader Joe's). In fact, you don't even have to go outside to get to Trader Joe's. I would highly recommend getting a tour of this place like we did. We fell in love with this place and we were able to pick the exact apt we wanted.

Staff: This review has been a long time coming I have lived…read morehere for 21 years. I wanted to continue to work with management however since 2012 it's been the same sour service. It's my basic right as a tenant and according to WC Smith, customer service is Ridgecrest Court's best amenity. That's definitely a lie!!! Hopefully, management can benefit from the same constructive criticisms it's been receiving all along. Long story short, I don't love where I live, management is arrogant and very dismissive check out what some of the other reviewers are saying. You'll see management complaints, roach and mice infestation complaints don't ignore them when making a decision to move here. Especially, if you can find somewhere better. Reviewers are saying things like "avoid management at all costs" and I agree but it is impossible to have a happy life with current management. Another reviewer referred to the man at the office as a "dreadful human being" and another stated "he can be flat out rude" yet another reviewer stated "staff talks down to customers like children" and I definitely agree. What you will get is a newly renovated apartment, however, it may be next door to someone who possibly has mice and roaches crawling everywhere. One reviewer stated they caught at least 10 mice. The mice and roaches are in the walls, ceilings, radiators, and coming out of the light fixtures. What management will tell you is the exterminator comes every Wednesday don't fall for it. It's just a band-aid to ignore and pacify, the real problem and avoid being sued. It is a violation of the leasing agreement and they need to be held accountable, for getting these pest infestations under control, both inside and outside the buildings. When you first move in management will sweet talk you and practically kiss your butt to get those good reviews. They will cater to you at the drop of a hat (this will work in your favor). So that they can drown out the negative reviews about them on this page. They are not all bad and have interesting personalities but their level of professionalism and customer service is severely lacking. This office had really great non-managerial staff in the past, but if their customer service was top-notch I knew they wouldn't be around for long. They all find new jobs making more money, the excellent staff never stay too long. Noise: The walls are very thin and you can hear everything, like your neighbor, talking, coughing, screaming, cursing, their tv, music and adult activities. It can sometimes sound like they are in your house. Having noisy neighbors will ruin your peace. It's been a problem in the past but it can be tolerable depending on your neighbors. Grounds: The grounds are visibly pleasing, kept clean, and maintained well. Sometimes neighbors throw trash, spit, leave cigarette butts, beer cans, food, and even dead mice on the front porch and in the hallway. But for the most part, they are kept clean. Safety: There are police that patrol the property. I guess I feel somewhat safe, the police seem to be there to protect management from dissatisfied tenants and write tickets/tow. And to make sure things don't get out of pocket at the rental office. They don't do much of anything else people still loiter, and sell drugs, despite their presence. Something is better than nothing they are getting paid. Neighborhood: Two Metro stations are nearby, the Giant grocery store, banking, and small take out restaurants. A bike and walking trail at Oxon Run Park is not too far. T The Arc, YMCA, and Boys and Girls club. Close to major highways. Maintenance: Sometimes they cut corners or don't do a good job. However, they do a satisfactory job most times. They're overworked and possibly underpaid men. I spent a lot of time learning how to do stuff myself because my apartment has not been updated in over 20 years, and with the number of repairs that needed to get done, I could tell they were annoyed. I was having to have them do the same thing two and three times. Like wall repairs, caulking baseboards, and stuff like that. They jump to get the new renovations done but don't want to repair/upkeep older units.

I finally bit the bullet and Renee gave me the best hair cut I've probably ever had. She gave me a short-ish mid-neck bob with just the right amount of layers and texture. Somehow it also looks great when I let it airdry -- the test of a truly killer hair cut. I walked in having no idea what kind of cut / length I wanted, which is usually a recipe for disaster with a new stylist, but Renee still gave me a great cut that suits my face / hair type / style. I can't recommend Renee highly enough...the salon is also a really pretty space. Honestly my favorite cut ever.

They just turned the key and opened my door. According to the maintenance guy, he was unaware the apartment was occupied. There is no grass on the grounds, only mud. Watching your step is uber important. The biggest problem we have is the radiators and hot water. We signed a lease that said all utilities were included, except electricity. So we assumed the radiators would be available to use whenever the weather warranted. INCORRECT. This is been a winter riddled with "polar vortexes" and snow. The last thing I should have to worry about is staying warm inside of my apartment, but it is. Constant concern whether the radiator will be on or not. The icing on the cake is if the radiators are on, there is NO HOT WATER. So if you want to take a hot shower, just know that it will be in a freezing cold bathroom. And if the bathroom is warm, you will be taking a cold shower. I decided to write this review today after I went to wash my hands and not only is there no hot water, but no water flows out of the faucet. They have turned off our water without any kind of notice to the residents. If though the rent is pretty low and there are no rodents, you don't want to be without heat in 9 degree weather or without hot water when you are ready to shower.
