Fort Totten Square

Truly one of the toughest living experiences but the manicured features make it better. The apartment sits on top of Walmart in a newly gentrified area. The shipment trunks often triggered the alarms in the wee hours of the nights. I lived here 3 years and in my last year I just had to get used to an alarm waking up the entire building between 3-4am which would last AT LEAST an hour. It happened probably every other week.

Also, because of the area and lack of security we went through a season… of frequent car break ins right in front of the building in broad daylight. And the entrance by the Walmart is not manned by security so homeless people and teens would sneak in. They’d shower, sleep and smoke weed in the clubhouse area. I’m a young woman who lived alone and I even had a situation. Some young men would hang out right at the back entrance. And one evening I walked out and I was shocked by so many so close. I did not greet them and one threatened to physically harm me. I got a security guard to escort me back to my apartment through another door—and that guard tried to hit on me. It took me a very long time to go out and get groceries so close to night time. But their front desk staff is always great. It’s not their fault management is too cheap to hire real security.

Great staff, great maintenance, wonderful amenities with a dishwasher, microwave and washer/dryer in every unit.

Despite constant claims to the contrary, Fort Totten Square is the loudest building I have ever been in. There is absolutely nothing blocking you from the movie/music someone next door or upstairs is playing. The garbage disposal and washing machines of units above you can be heard as if they were your own going off. Aside from this, when the office is highly disorganized and unable to cope with the slightest thing gone wrong for a resident.

The one good thing I can say about this place is the… price...then again, you get what you pay for. Read More

Very Modern building, quiet, great amenities, good location, your close the mix but not in mix, no issues with car break-ins or a lot of random people walking the streets. The apartments are alot larger than most one bed rooms in dc. I would recommend this apartment to anyone moving to the city.
