Ravenel Apartamentos

I was a resident of the Ravenel for a year. There are both good and bad things about living in this building. The good is the location, which is convenient to many things. The maintenance team was also pretty responsive. The bad includes the typical old-building problems such as pest and rodent issues, with roaches and mice inside the units, and leaks that require the maintenance crew to come into your apartment, tear up a wall, repair something behind it, and then repair and repaint the wall.... Missing packages are also an occasional problem. There is a package locker but many delivery people do not use it or sometimes it is not working, so packages are left either in the main lobby or sometimes even outside the building if they cannot get inside due to the door buzzer. There are no in-unit washing machines. Many of the units lack sunlight too. After having found another place, I can say the Ravenel was old, small, dark, expensive for what you get, and lacking in amenities compared with other options in the area. Lee mas

Loved the building and the apartment right up to the point where I have to move because the building has been bought. I love this neighborhood and finding something this affordable, nice, and convenient bums me out, and I don't know if it'll be possible. I know these things are usually out of the hands of management, but it's worth telling.

First time resident in D.C. coming from outside the US and I loved how the management team helped me through the whole process! Made it an incredibly easy and smooth transition.

My experience as a Ravenel resident has been fantastic. The building is well-managed and the staff are responsive to your feedback and concerns. Their communication has been smooth and professional. Plus, this location is great and it's great utilities are included in the rent. Thank you!
