I lived in Sutton Plaza for about six months and it was probably the best management that I've ever had, period. The staff are great. The apartments are well finished although the walls are a little thin and parts of the building are dated. On the whole, I would definitely live there again. read more

Yeah! go sutton! My sister lived in these apartments for a year in DC. The establishment and main lobby are very clean. The security was very vigilant and kind. When office hours are available, the housing staff are available for questions, comments and requests. My sister had a one bedroom. It was rather small, yet cozy if you had small furniture. It is rather slender. Otherwise, it stayed warm in winter and the location is easy to walk or run to monuments and see the white house. read more

This is a wonderful building in DC-amazing location, beautiful and updated apartments, and a quiet nice community. The leasing and concierge teams are the nicest, most helpful people I have ever worked with. They are so helpful and responsive, and make living here feel like a real community. read more

Great apartment complex in the heart of DC located near both Green/ Yellow line and Blue/ Silver/ Orange line stops. Professionally managed by Keener Management, which own and operates a number of apartment complexes around DC. Keener Management was always very responsive to all of my inquiries and went well beyond expectations. The units are well laid out for their size. The unit I lived in was completely renovated and offered all the basic amenities, including and washer and dryer in the unit. The units are very quiet and, and there is very rarely any sound bleed between the units. The building also included a small gym and industrial sized washers in the basement. I liked the unit and the property management company so much, I moved to another one of their buildings when I moved to another part of DC. read more

I have loved living in this building. The units are renovated and quiet, with high-quality appliances, and the building is kept in great shape. Also, the management company for this building is exceptional. The people who work onsite, Norma and Ian, are kind, responsive, and helpful. They know everyone by name and sight and go out of their way to make people feel at home. Maintenance requests are completed immediately, and the building even does preventive maintenance (like clearing out the drains annually). I would highly recommend living here! read more

I have been living at Sutton Plaza since end of April and love my apartment and location. The staff are really nice and accommodating. There are leasing agents/property manager available during all days other than Sunday. Norma and Ian have both been very kind to me. But during the evenings and weekends, there are front desk staff/guard monitoring who are coming in and out of the building, which is great and makes me feel very safe and secure. I seriously need to learn their names since I see them everyday lol But both are very nice and accommodating. Since moving in, they have made several improvements to the building. Each floor was updated with new paint and tiles near the elevator. The entrance is currently being updated, making it look like a construction site. But I don't mind since it's helping spruce up the place. I occasionally telework a couple days a week and hear a little bit of noise from the updates of apartments, halls, but nothing too noisy where I should just go into work. The downside to this building is that there is a really small gym, with little equipment; two treadmills, elliptical, bikes, and some other machines. nonetheless, I am still happy for that because it provides the essentials I need for now. And they don't have a rooftop or anything fancy. But overall, the staff and maintenance crew are always around, cleaning up the place and responsive with requests. I am thankful the halls do not smell or are dirty. Most apts in DC, you can hear tv's playing and people talking, and smell the food people are cooking, which I am thankful it does not stink! One extra thing I do want to add is that when I moved in, my sofa did NOT fit in the elevator. I have a sofa with sleeper. So the movers could have said no, they are not carrying it up several flights of stairs, but luckily they did, and I tipped them very well. Just a caveat for those who are looking to buy furniture. Make sure you measure your furniture and the elevator. I bought my sofa a few months prior to moving into my place so I am happy the movers weren't jerks. My apartment itself is about 470 square ft. Probably the smallest apartment I have ever lived in. But again, I am sacrificing space for location and price. And that's the price of living in a VERY nice part of DC. Previously, I had an apartment in Arlington that was close to 650 sq ft with lots of closets. I had to get rid of my dining room table since it didn't fit into my new place. I also have some of my seasonal stuff in my friend's storage unit who lives next door in the Radius condo building. If I didn't have that, I would have to get rid of more things in my place in order to fit everything. I love having all utilities since I don't have to worry about several bills. I also love having a washer/dryer in my apartment too. Location is probably the best part of living at Sutton Plaza. I work across from Metro Center so it's a 15 mins walk to/from work. A 20 mins walk to the National Mall, a couple blocks from 14th street corridor where there are several restaurants and bars. Whole Foods is 4 blocks away, Trader Joe's is about 7 blocks away and Giant is about 6 blocks away. And three major metros to include Convention Center, McPherson Square and Metro Center. Moving into the city has encouraged me to walk more and not worrying about drinking and driving. I don't even bother going to other neighborhoods of DC because everything is at my fingertips where I live. When it comes to parking, I requested to be put on the waitlist to purchase a space. I just received my space recently after one became available. Street parking is available with a D2 parking permit, however, it can get a little tricky finding a spot. About 80% of the time, I was able to find parking within a two block radius. Other times I would have to park several blocks away which was a little annoying. I limited driving my car because I was worried about finding a parking space if I came home too late. And the first week I parked my car on the street, I noticed marks all on my bumper. It was NOT pretty and I wish people would be more respectful when parking their cars not to damage other people's property :( But I guess that's the risk you take when you park on the street. I went out and bought a bumper guard to protect my car which helped but annoying to look at. With all things considered, the rent price is very reasonable and I came in knowing all of the ups and downs so I can't complain too much. Probably one of the least expensive complexes if you are looking for a one bedroom, all utilities and w/d in unit. I plan to stay here until I meet my forever man and move into the 'burbs lol. Also contingent if they raise rent dramatically each time I sign another lease. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice place to live in a very ideal location and for a decent price for the area. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. You are paying for the 'coolness' of living in Logan Circle. Honestly, its pretty high on the cool scale to live in this neighborhood. It was 'cool' to spend Sundays brunching on 14th Street, to call the restaurant-of-the-moment my neighborhood spot' and to walk to K Street night life. If you think this is cool, and you're not looking for an apartment with fancy amenities and bells and whistles... Then this is for you. I lived at Sutton Plaza from 2011 to April 2013 in an un-renovated 1-bedroom for $1575. They seem a bit flexible on rent prices (a little too flexible) and unfortunately, I did not know this and did not negotiate. The person across the hall lived in a 1-bedroom for $1495 and moved in a month after me. After a year, my rent raised to $1695, which was almost the cost of a renovated 1-bedroom. If I wanted to switch to another apartment, I would have to pay my non-refundable $500 move-in fee again! Since I lived on the first floor, I was very lucky to not deal with the elevator. I heard it was frequently out of order. There is not 24 hour security, which surprises me considering the high traffic location. On Fridays and Saturdays, the guard was there until 2 or 3 AM. I believe that they left at midnight on weeknights. The real deal breaker occurred in 2012. I ordered a designer watch from Nordstrom. My tracking number confirmed that it was delivered and signed for by Sutton Plaza. Unless you opt out, the leasing agents open your door and physically place your packages inside your apartment. Therefore, I inquired about the whereabouts of my package with the agents.... The agent said that she remembered putting the package in my apartment. I told her I didn't see it. The agent had it on the log that it was dropped off in my apartment. Nope. I didn't see it. The office said that they would investigate. A few days later, a tenant dropped MY package off at the leasing office. My designer watch was mistakenly left inside someone else's apartment!! NOT COOL. read more

A nice apartment with in unit laundry in a great location. Concierge staff are there part-time and unfortunately can sometimes be rude to guests and food delivery drivers. Other buildings will accommodate your guests in the lobby or call you if you have a delivery waiting; Sutton Plaza concierge will often make guests go back out onto the street to wait and send delivery drivers away without contacting you. read more

This is one of the most reasonably priced apartment homes in this neighborhood. The building is on the older side but still pretty cute. We had a fantastic experience with the leasing office and any request we had with them or maintenance was addressed immediately. Utilities are included in rent so that's a major bonus! read more

My husband and I have lived in Sutton Plaza for nearly 4 years now and we have only wonderful things to say about it. We would happily recommend it to anyone searching for a convenient and well-maintained apartment in DC. Yes, the apartments are small - welcome to Downtown/Logan Circle. But we've found the value quite high. The location is great, and all the finishes had just been redone when we moved in: new gas range/oven, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, wood flooring, cabinets. And while the HVAC can be a bit noisy at times, it works well at heating and cooling the apartment even in DC's extreme temps. But the best part about living at Sutton Plaza has been the management. Ian, Norma, Lisa, and all the staff have been terrific. They are immediately responsive to questions via email, always around on site during business hours (plus after hours for the concierge), and were so easy to work with. Example: Once an important and valuable package of ours went astray. UPS said it was delivered but it wasn't in the package room. Ian replied immediately to my email asking for help and, after I told him the time UPS said it had been delivered, he checked the security footage for the building on the date in question and let me know that the UPS delivery that day had actually come 10 minutes later than reported on our delivery notification. The package, Ian said, had probably been mis-delivered to a neighboring building. All of this correspondence happened within a couple hours. Ian was right, and after I notified UPS of the suspected mix-up, they retrieved and delivered our package the next day. This is just one example of the Sutton Plaza management team being a dream to work with. As an added plus, the core staff of the building hasn't changed in our 4 years here - something that's really rare in a multi-family building in DC. Overall Sutton is a great value for your rent dollars in Logan Circle, and the building management adds peace of mind. We couldn't be more pleased. read more

I really enjoyed my time at Sutton Plaza My jr. 1br was a bit small, but very renovated and a good value. Management was great and quick to respond. They also provided a reference letter for me for a future apartment search! read more
