The place is not only beautiful but it is well maintained. Lewis is good about cleaning and taking care of the place. I heard he has worked here for 20 years. The front desk is friendly no matter who is working. They greet you by name and are great about letting guests in as well. I highly recommend if a condo is available to jump on it, as this is close to everything!

Having a 24 hour concierge is so helpful! As an investment I am so so soooo happy I chose The Odyssey as my home for the past 8 years!! The residents are all wonderful people and a priceless social atmosphere where wine and cheese nights are encouraged, running clubs, yoga on the deck, philanthropy and giving back to the community are just to name a few. The outdoor rooftop pool is my favorite thing to do on the weekends in the summer. The views are amazing and a BBQ allows you to have a great time with friends! Two Thumbs up and one of the best in Arlington!

The Belvedere, besides its sometimes creepy red doors that remind me of the Shining, has a lot of great things going for it. The condos are medium priced, there are a ton of parking lots below, it has a great outdoor pool and new fitness center, the little store on G5 has booze and does your laundry, and the staff are excellent. Let me say it again: the staff are EXCELLENT. They really get to know you, recognize you, and will chat with you even when they look busy. They really take care of the residents here with a smile and great customer service. Move in, but save a condo for me.

I've lived here for over a year as a renter and I would generally recommend. For buying I wouldn't…read morebuy here, but that's just a personal preference. Pros: -Homeowners association is well managed. They just bought a huge generator without doing an assessment. -Cheaper than some other neighborhoods. -Laundry is cheap: $0.75 wash and $0.25 for 15 min to dry. -Walls are REALLY soundproof -Dishwasher -Walk-in closet -Neighbors are nice - mix of late 20s/30s and 60s -Front desk staff is generally nice and helpful Cons: -No off street parking and street parking difficult later at night -Common laundry -Window unit AC -Front desk has lost packages -Condo association sometimes passes stupid rules (ie: you have to be home to get grocery delivery. I'm sorry, but doesn't this totally negate the value of the front desk?!?!)

The staff are avalable and competent, the facilities are always clean and in good working order, and it is very secure. Yes, it's old--it was built in 1928--and it doesn't have a gym (but we may be getting a roof deck). There is a common laundry room on the main floor. But these are far outweighed by the friendly ambience and the convenience, and PRICE. Units remain one of the best bargains in this very expensive area. The street is gorgeous and quiet, but everything is right around the corner. It's a wonderful place to live.

You are relative close range to Potomac River for fishing and learning aquestrian is not far. 5 Stars - Parking. Not over crowded nice easy slopes to drive. Each slot had generous space. Easy to park. 5 Stars - Swimming pool. Shallow and deep side with diving board, extremely attentive pool guards checking water, whistling to remove people out to avoid swimmers from getting too cold. 4 Stars - Front Desk. Functioning, kids friendly. 2 Stars - Store on Lobby. Now every snack a kid wants was there but wasn't much of a store for adults. 3 Stars - Cleansiness. I'd give it an OK. 4 Stars - mail room was organized and we never had a problem. 3 Stars - residents and visitors. Now, when I lived there, there were zero African American residents, which was very sad, I was a rare Japanese in there. It used to be 5 Stars. Last time I checked, it was a bit questionable and had every POC living there. It looked more interesting 5 Stars - noise insulation. We never heard a single sound from other units. Not above, not below. 2 Stars - garden and guest parking. They have space but not much useful. 3 Stars - Prices. A bit above market 4 Stars - view. Because GEICO is across the street, there's not much of view obstruction. The sky is beautiful from the balcony. 3 Stars - balcony. Big enough for a chair and table and an herb garden.

The building is old and is in a constant state of repair requiring high condo fees. But management is lazy and has a terrible attitude.

I absolutely love living in this building. I have a lot of good things to say!…read more The Apartments: I literally toured and analyzed about 15-20 different apartment complexes in the Logan Circle/14th street/U street/Shaw area. The Harper was our favorite in terms of price point, location, building features. The apartments are smaller and narrow (You're paying to live in this prime location) but they are designed to provide you max amount of storage space. Also a major thing I've noticed since living here - YOU CAN'T HEAR YOUR NEIGHBORS AT ALL. The apartments are sound proof which I've never experienced before. I don't hear any noise at all ,ever, from any neighbors unless they are in the hallway! It's amazing. Location: LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Whether its bars, nightlife, food, exercise, this area is probably the best of all worlds combined. You have Trader Joes across the street for groceries and safeway/wholefoods within 15 minutes walk for other groceries. You have all the bars and nightlife within 1-2 blocks of you (Fainting Goat, Hawthorne, Lost Society, El Centro, Masa 14, Cloak and Dagger, Marvin, etc etc). You have the city's top rated restaurants within 15 minutes walk of you (Ghibellina, Le Diplomate, Barcelona, Duke's Grocery, Sakerum, etc) and some even literally next door (Compass Rose! The Smith! Lupo Verde! Tico!). You also have all the workout studios you could ever need including Soul Cycle, Orange Theory, Yoga etc. The Harper is also situated right on 14th street so while it is does get busy on weekends you're getting less of the drunken dirty U street traffic and more of the upscale cleanliness! Also, the windows are really thick and blocks out the noise unless you go stand up right next to them. I'm able to sleep even though I'm a light sleeper. The Building: The Harper is maintained as an upscale, very clean, and very new building! The rooftop offers great views, a nice but small gym, and two grills! Service: Jason is a really nice guy and applying/signing our lease was painless! The process was super easy and making rent payments and maintenance requests is done all online. It's all very efficient and easy. The best part - utilities are included, you get a small storage locker, and the front desk security guards are super nice and friendly for the most part. I highly recommend this building.
