Newport West Apartments

Moved here July of 2024, and started experiencing rodent problems since September (almost 8 months now). Management promised so many different fixes but none of them have actually worked, and we were seeing droppings every week or so. Management put a ring camera in our kitchen and now we're seeing rodent activity in our kitchen almost every night. We've had to bleach and clean our kitchen EVERY morning, only for everything to restart again the next day. Literally groundhog day but for mice... problems.

The rent is also crazy expensive and yet they have refused all requests for rent abatement. I can't imagine anyone else wanting to live here after this whole ordeal. They need to get their act together and do some serious extermination across the entire building (bumped into a neighbor this morning who also was dealing with mice for the past several months, so it's not just our unit).

I recently had to leave Newport West because of an ongoing pest problem - we struggled with mice for almost our entire duration until finally we had to get the Housing department to come and review the living area. After the review, the situation was so bad we were able to get out of our lease and finally leave. The only thing that made us stay as long as we did was Gary - the Gelman company though, refused to help us until the bitter end.

We loved our 18 months at the Newport West. Shelby and Gary are wonderful -- friendly, helpful, prompt, and thoughtful. The building has great charm and character and you'll get noticeably more square feet than you will in comparably priced apartments in the neighborhood. The rooftop pool facilities are a great bonus, and the shared laundry room always has plenty of machines. The location is perfect, right in the middle of the action of Logan Circle and accessible to all of the city's metro... lines. The building's soundproofing is pretty good, and we never had issues with noisy neighbors or pests. We were sad to leave, but had to relocate to shorten commute distance. Overall, a refreshing apartment experience. I highly recommend! Read More

I lived here for a year in a studio and it was great. Both Shelby and Gary are amazing and any maintenance requests were always completed within 24 hrs. Would recommend!

This building has an amazing location in the heart of Logan Circle that can’t be beat. Such a unique building layout with only odd number floors, stairs going into most apartments, and many balconies or views of the neighborhood. Relatively quiet building and very pet friendly. Shelby and Gary are rockstars and quickly and professionally handle any issue, while being so friendly. Anna who cleans the building is so warm and friendly. Lived there for 3.5 years and miss it.
