2200 Columbia Pike

Dated appliances, hvac is super loud, and they are trying to gouge my mother who had a stroke and can’t live there anymore - they want 60 days notice,rent for those days, and a month’s rent to break the lease.

This is a horrible place for renting an apartment. The managers' attitude towards costumers is terrible, Nobody came to change the light bulbs, repair the window shades, and drainer in the bath tub after I requested several times. I walked in the dark at night, no privacy as the window shades fell down, the water flowed out.... You can only get stressful living with high rental and bad services. When I finished my lease, I cleaned the apartment spotless. But after I moved out one month, they sent me a big bill $1160 for repairing which they did not do when I stayed there. It's ridiculous Drunk man kicked your apartment door at midnight a neighbor's loud music at night.

We had a one bedroom with 1000 sq ft with an awesome kitchen. The building itself is well built with solid walls meaning you don't hear the neighbors and they don't hear you. The views from the root-top pool are absolutely stunning and includes a separate sundeck also great for star-gazing. A smallish gym, but there is another full gym across the street. There are also so many restaurants within walking distance so you if you get tired of cooking you have options. My only problem with this place is that the rent went up significantly without notice and they don't allow ANY pets (fish included).

Have been renting in this building for about 3 years now, in a couple of different apartments due to size requirements, and have so much space for living and storage. The newer apartments just feel so cramped! Renovations going on in common areas but workers are neat and polite and end results will be beautiful. Community feel, meet your neighbors in the penthouse laundry with view of Washington DC or at the pool on the roof with even more spectacular view. Have rented from BM Smith for a number of years and they are a good management company, tried renting from someone else and was really disappointed so came back home.
