Columbia Plaza

I was very pleased with my time there. I got exactly what I had hoped for when I originally toured the facility. My apartment, the laundry room, the gym, and just the building in general were clean and functional.

The staff were tremendous. Everyone from the leasing office, to maintenance, to the front desk were always incredibly polite and efficient. I didn't have a single negative interaction with anyone.

The area around the building was solid. It was safe and pretty quiet. I loved that I… had a small market on-site and a handful of other options within a 10 minute walk. On-site Parking was a separate company, but was also great.

If I had one wish, it would have been for a more traditional air-conditioner setup. The setup was explained to me prior to signing the lease (so just ask them - no need to re-explain), but that last month waiting for the building to turn over from heat to cold could be rough.

That's it though. Really a solid place to live. I though I paid a good price for my one-bedroom with plenty of space. I was pleased with my decision and would make it again. Read More

Building is outdated and roach invested. On top of this, there was a shooting here recently that management tried to downplay to cover up their security issues. Whatever security they do have spends their shifts gossiping with the front desk or sleeping on the chairs.

The location can't be beat - minutes to the GW metro, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Georgetown, and the mall. It is an easy commute into the heart of DC, into Virginia due to proximity of the I-66 on-ramp and memorial bridge, or going north via Rock Creek parkway. The service was always great, especially Kevin, Detra, and Jessica at the front desk. Finally, the Market mini-mart shop was great - it had all the essentials and also a great selection of beer and whiskey.

The Columbia Plaza is an awesome apartment complex!

The location is ideal & within walking distance to the metro, the monuments, grocery stores & GW hospital. It’s super safe and well protected with key fob entry.

The best part about Columbia Plaza is the amazing, professional & friendly staff that manage the leasing office-Maria has been there for 25 years & it shows in her knowledge of the property & her kindness with her customers. She showed me several apartments & knew quite a bit about… the history; she answered all my questions, drafted the agreement, & made sure everything was in order before she left on vacation.

Kelly, Tia & Iris have also made my transition to apartment-living easy & effortless by their friendliness & their help with printing documents, drafting verification letters & answering parking issue questions.

A big shout- out goes to the front desk staff for always being there with a smile under their mask & for notifying me of any deliveries. I’m also grateful for the maintenance team who checked to make sure I didn’t leave my stove on once!

I love the convenience of the Market, Wells Fargo & The Magic Gourd all in the pavilion downstairs. It’s really a great place with awesome staff & I love calling Columbia Plaza my home! Read More
