A Home Run at The Swift
The Swift at Petworth is more than just an apartment complex; it's a home run. From the sleek modern design to the exceptional staff, every detail is thoughtfully considered. Shavon, the Assistant Property Manager, is a true gem. Her friendly demeanor and quick problem-solving skills make her a standout. Janet, the Property Manager, is incredibly efficient and always willing to lend a hand. Her dedication to maintaining a positive community atmosphere is evident in every interaction. Sheldon, the Leasing Agent, was a pleasure to work with. His knowledge of the property and ability to answer questions clearly made the leasing process stress-free. And let's not forget Octavia, the Concierge. Her warm welcome and helpful nature make you feel right at home. If you're looking for a place to call home, The Swift at Petworth is a fantastic choice.

Worst 13 months of my life
Here is just a small list of the issues I had living at the Swift: (1) something important was always broken. (2) security was horrible and several non-residents hung out in the building. (3) the building's answer to #2 was to put 2 23-year olds with guns stationed in the back lobby. (4) The locks were always broken which led me to not be able to access common areas, the gym, or EVEN MY OWN APARTMENT for up to 7 days with no compensation. (5) Management WILL ghost you. I once tried to get my rent prorated after the building couldn't fix my locks (resulting in my apartment laying empty for a week) and they didn't answer any of my emails from July to October. (6) One time they straight up just took my patio furniture. 3 weeks later it reappeared f-ed up and broken.(8) About 25% of my packages went missing, including expensive meds. The theft got so bad they shut down the mail room. (9) FIRE ALARMS GO OFF AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK! If there is a real fire, management will come sprinting down the hallway banging on everyone's door. (10) The management staff (not the lobby staff) were incredibly rude, unresponsive, and held grudges. Do yourself a favor, spend that extra $250 a month and go live somewhere RELIABLE. Or at least somewhere that doesn't ignore their tenants.
Property Manager at The Swift at Petworth Metro, Responded To This Review
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience at The Swift and apologize for the frustration it’s caused. We understand how inconvenient it is when repairs are needed, and we’re working to improve our maintenance response time and reliability. We cannot guarantee anyone's safety. However, the property provides 24/7 personnel for the Front Desk and video surveillance throughout the property. We know lock issues are unacceptable,We believe our recent improvement and upgrade of access control and door locks should have resolved any door issues, if you continue to experience any issues, feel free to contact us immediately. Communication is also important, and we’re addressing this internally to ensure timely responses. Regarding package theft, we’re upgrading our mailroom video surveillance to prevent further issues. As for the frequent fire alarms, we’re working with Safeway to resolve this issue and reduce disruptions. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and are committed to making improvements. Thank you for your feedback.

Awesome place. No complaints thus far. Most areas are clean and the garage door works well. The only thing that will cause a problem is the sewer fees. The majority of apartment complexes pay the sewer themselves!

The fire alarm goes off once a month, always in the morning between 1:30 am and 4 am. If there were an actual emergency several residents would be in trouble due to the monthly false alarms. The building has hired extra security, which is great, to keep the building and its residents safe, but also take that as a note on safety of the neighborhood. The management is less communicative and it takes a while to hear back. The building is loud and someone is always smoking weed in the building and management does nothing to prevent it. The location is great, very close to metro, Safeway, and Columbia Heights Mall area. The maintenance staff are great and very responsive. The staff that clean the common spaces are also wonderful. And the front door staff are great, but there seems to be new staff constantly and they can't keep staff for whatever reason.

Love the apartment—in-unit laundry, temperature control, high ceilings with lots of natural light, kitchen island, carpeted bedroom. The rooftop, gym, and lounge are also a plus, and building management is fantastic! Only issue I’ve had is the noise level coming in from outside.

Disrespectful Management & poor communications
The management at the swift is disrespectful, rude, and does not communicate appropriately. It is extremely difficult to get a response from the leasing office and concierge - it’s as if they don’t even monitor their emails. The turnover of concierge and management staff is so common, I never know who is an employee and whom I should reach out to (and no one answers the emails). The management emails that are sent out to all residents are unclear, poorly written, and full of typos. The management changes policies and procedures with no warning and then refuses to engage when questioned. I have lived at the swift for over two years and there are serious safety issues in the building - including packages being stolen - and the management fails to communicate about what’s going on or how issues have been resolved. The fire alarms also commonly go off and residents became so used to the disturbance we don’t even leave the building - and then once when there was an actual fire, so a mass email was sent out telling people it was a real emergency. The facilities are nice and the location is great, so the management has an attitude that they don’t need to address anything or communicate appropriately or professionally. Do not recommend.

Do not recomend to anyone
The worst communication I have ever experienced with a apartment complex. They were rude and condescending. The swift has huge safety issues from a back door that didn't lock that needs to be fixed to false fire alarms. Someone came in through the back door and stole 20 packages from the mail room. so many false fire alarms that people started to ignore them, then there actually was a fire. People didn't take it seriously till staff came to their door. There was a lot of water damage after this and residents displaced from their units. The swift did not offer to move them to undamaged units. I heard there were a lot of law suit threats. I found the staff to be super unresponsive and dishonest when a lot of residents tried to move out. they tried to make excuses for the rent slowly going up every month. all they seemed to care about from the beginning was money.

Couldn't ask for more!
Living at the Swift was probably one of the best decisions I made during my time in DC. My boyfriend and I just moved to NYC after two great years there. Tim and the staff made everything from moving in, to maintenance requests, to random requests, to moving out so incredibly seamless. He and James (the head concierge) were always super responsive to emails and needs. In addition, the walk to the metro, Safeway, Yes, and the great bars and restaurants on Upshur is something that I will surely miss. I could not recommend the Swift any higher!

Don't bother moving here
My husband and I have been living in the Swift for two years. When we first saw the apartment we loved it. The building and amenities are very nice, but the fire alarms go off multiple times per month. I can't even count how many times the fire alarms have gone off since we've been living there. There are loud alarms and strobe lights that you can't ignore. Three or four times the alarm has gone off between two or three am. Other times it's when I'm in the shower trying to leave for work. Today the alarms went off, and although they said we could go back inside, they couldn't figure out how to disable the alarm for over an hour. After each incident, the office sends out an e-mail with a different reason why the alarms went off that time, explaining that they're bringing in a repairman and resolving the issue. Then, it happens again. It's no way to live. Not to mention, God forbid there is a real fire one day, and people die because they have cried wolf so many times. It's horrible. Don't move here unless you're okay with paying really high rent for an apartment that you (and your pets and/or babies) have to evacuate at all hours of the night in all kinds of weather for false fire alarms.

Swift Review
The apartments are new and nicely designed, with a great kitchen, washer and dryer, and plenty of community space. The fact that it is literally on top of a grocery store is an added plus. The staff is really nice, helpful and informative. It's nice they call me by name. The fitness center, rooftop deck, and club room are open 24 hours. Steps from the metro. The walls are a little thin though. All in all, I love this place.
