Schuyler Arms

Schuyler Arms is managed by an incredible board, really dedicated folks. It means you have the confidence that things will get done, and done appropriately. Not cheaply, and not excessively. The apartments themselves are fantastic. Solid walls keeps noise blocked from neighbors. I lived on top floor apartment, so my opinion might be somewhat skewed on this. Incredible views of the city, and it’s quiet even though you’re right next to so many lively places (Dupont, Adams Morgan, etc). Easy access to transportation (red line, bus 42/​43/​L2 and others), and my favorite thing: so close to rock creek park! My second favorite thing is the rooftop — panoramic views!

I *LOVED* living here. The location is impossible to beat — you can walk up to Adams Morgan or down to Dupont Circle in a matter of minutes. Columbia Rd stays busy enough at night so that I felt safe traipsing about on my own, but it’s not so busy that it keeps you up at night.
Also, the 42 bus stops right across the street, making the commute to work downtown an easy ride.
I lived in a mid-​floor unit, so it was an easy walk to the laundry and/​or bike room in the basement. Also, I liked that the front desk was staffed most of the time in case of the occasional lockout. There’s also someone to sign for packages.
I guess I was lucky as I never had issues with noise — the walls are plaster so they do a good job of dampening sound (although yes, you’ll have to screw, not pound, nails into the wall).
