1800 Oak Apartments

I love 1800 N Oak! Management has changed. Their grillout area, hot tub and pool are awesome. My husband and I have bbqs with our friends. We don’t ever have to clean up after parties because we use the grill out area (sooo convenient).
We have access to 3 metro lines within a 5 minute walk, so I never have to wait more than 4 minutes for a train to arrive and take me to DC (orange, blue or silver).
When I go out to U street or 14^th, an UBER ride is very affordable ($ 12). The building is beautiful, clean, calm. There is a great mix of families, young professionals and older adults. If you love the outdoors, you can run to gtown and use the Key bridge (gorgeous views), the Key Bridge is within a 15 minute walk. You have access to the National Mall as well.
My husband and I are both 30, we love our home. I am a teacher in DC and coming home to such a relaxing environment is the best!
Current resident (3 years in the building) —
I negotiated my rent price and it has not gone up by much since we moved in.
Highly recommend 1800 N. Oak!

My wife and I stayed in a corporate provided room by Churchill Corporate on the 15^th floor for just over a month and it was a trying experience to say the least. I shall not be back and I have recommended all professionals and embassy staff my wife and I deal with (we are foreign diplomats) to not use this facility.
There was food stuck to the carpet on our arrival, the area around the toilet not cleaned, and the ceilings and walls in the toilet covered in fly droppings that had badly stained.
Our outside door to the balcony could not lock or close properly.
There is no double glazing so you will be woken by the current Rosslyn metro construction and traffic and any truck backing up or idling from 6am through till late except for Sunday. Further noise will come from your neighbours’ TV that bleeds through the walls as well as those above you stomping around.
Some of the staff are very friendly, but there are some who are most unhelpful and prefer instead to gossip away from the desk and you will have to yell to get their attention. Even then, they may ignore you. The desk is more often than not unattended when these bad apples are at station.
When you have packages arrive and are notified by email or text by FedEx/​UPS that they have been successfully delivered these same bad apples will tell you they have not. Only repeated insistence to their disgust in making them look for will get your package.
We returned home from a trip to find entire out living area flooded due to the maintenance room next door having flooded. We suffered major damage of our possessions and the carpet had to be pulled up and blowers and dehumidifiers placed in to dry it out before a new underlay could be placed back. The skirting boards buckled from this flood. The inconvenience of the blowers and the dryers cost us work and rest.
We were not contacted at all about this flood, nor did anyone check to see if further damage had spread. It took over half an hour for the maintenance man to come to see the damage.
The building insures the property and grounds and do not consider they were negligent. In other words, make sure you have your own insurance.
Overall for our first stay in the USA it was a less than satisfactory experience. The place is marketed as «upscale» but it most certainly is quite the opposite.
Avoid at all costs.
