Ellicott House

Key Take Away: This building is a safe choice. Both in location and management. I would recommend this building
------
Wanting to be the change, of less negative reviews on apartment buildings, I lived 1 year at Ellicott House and had no serious issues or complaints. I enjoyed my time in the building, its location, and thought management was good (in comparison to the stories i read online about other places). If i Could have stayed in DC, I would have loved to continue living here.

Biggest... perks were it's location being close enough to the metro and the L2 being just outside, and the safety of the area itself. + utilities being included in the rent made this a great value. I had no issues with bugs, and my maintenance request were always fulfilled promptly.

Downsides: On occasion, the water would have to be shut off, but this was only ever during the week and during business hours, when most people would not be home. + Some issues with the elevators, but they're are three so at least 1 is operating at all times. Read More

I love this place, it is a very nice and look around to Stores and Restaurants.

l did recommend 2 tenants and they left after 2momths .one was smoking and second had issuers with IVANA & DANIELA. and that was when l wanted to live too. IVANA PROMISED MESS MY CREDIT UP. They were making their own money. if you did ask for their so small tinny paper as receipts. they started adding late fees when l submitted my checks dated before the months ended. dating my receipts' the days they processing. Just what Mr. RONNY STARTED DOING. l will not pay any late fees only, if it is late... . l went down to LANDLORD &TENANTS (D.C) presented my copies of my checks. l was told to go home & sleep.They all need to stop taking advantage of their power. l paid $750.00 for security deposit.l have all that l paid. last month, l asked one of he staff what my security deposit is because it should come with interest, he told me is $500.00. l only laughed.
Management needs to improve. Read More

The building and the surroundings are beautiful and clean. The neighbors are polite and respectful and the apartment is nice, spacious, with a well equipped, modern kitchen and a very comfortable bathroom. The staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful. I am so loving my living experience in Ellicott House!

Ellicott House was my first apartment in DC and I lived there for just over three years, from August 2013 to October 2016. I was in a studio and overall had a nice experience there. The building itself is very nice. I did have some issues with the garbage disposal but besides that, I have no real complaints; management changed a few times but usually were helpful. Walking distance to Van Ness metro station and the L buses are right there. Close to Politics & Prose for all you nerds out there. I... moved out because the rent was just getting too high but if you can afford it, then I would recommend Ellicott House. Read More
