Sutton Plaza Apartments

Yeah! go sutton! My sister lived in these apartments for a year in DC. The establishment and main lobby are very clean. The security was very vigilant and kind.
When office hours are available, the housing staff are available for questions, comments and requests. My sister had a one bedroom. It was rather small, yet cozy if you had small furniture. It is rather slender.
Otherwise, it stayed warm in winter and the location is easy to walk or run to monuments and see the white house.

This is one of the most reasonably priced apartment homes in this neighborhood. The building is on the older side but still pretty cute. We had a fantastic experience with the leasing office and any request we had with them or maintenance was addressed immediately. Utilities are included in rent so that’s a major bonus!

I have mixed feelings about this place. You are paying for the ‘coolness’ of living in Logan Circle. Honestly, its pretty high on the cool scale to live in this neighborhood. It was ‘cool’ to spend Sundays brunching on 14^th Street, to call the restaurant-​of-​the-​moment my neighborhood spot’ and to walk to K Street night life. If you think this is cool, and you’re not looking for an apartment with fancy amenities and bells and whistles… Then this is for you.
I lived at Sutton Plaza from 2011 to April 2013 in an un-​renovated 1-​bedroom for $ 1575. They seem a bit flexible on rent prices (a little too flexible) and unfortunately, I did not know this and did not negotiate. The person across the hall lived in a 1-​bedroom for $ 1495 and moved in a month after me. After a year, my rent raised to $ 1695, which was almost the cost of a renovated 1-​bedroom. If I wanted to switch to another apartment, I would have to pay my non-​refundable $ 500 move-​in fee again!
Since I lived on the first floor, I was very lucky to not deal with the elevator. I heard it was frequently out of order. There is not 24 hour security, which surprises me considering the high traffic location. On Fridays and Saturdays, the guard was there until 2 or 3 AM. I believe that they left at midnight on weeknights.
The real deal breaker occurred in 2012. I ordered a designer watch from Nordstrom. My tracking number confirmed that it was delivered and signed for by Sutton Plaza. Unless you opt out, the leasing agents open your door and physically place your packages inside your apartment. Therefore, I inquired about the whereabouts of my package with the agents…
The agent said that she remembered putting the package in my apartment.
I told her I didn’t see it.
The agent had it on the log that it was dropped off in my apartment.
Nope. I didn’t see it.
The office said that they would investigate. A few days later, a tenant dropped MY package off at the leasing office. My designer watch was mistakenly left inside someone else’s apartment!
NOT COOL.
