When we moved into this building in September 2000 the rent was reasonable, $850 for a large one bedroom. Our apartment faced south which is a key factor. THe North facing apartments look out on I-395! While we were living there the apartments across G Street (potomac Place) erected another high rise which greatly deteracted from the nice view we had from the seventh floor.
The best thing about these apartments is their proximitiy to the "Federal Center",three Metro Stations and the Mall. I could walk to work in seven minutes and felt fairly safe as long as stayed between G street and the Mall.
At first our rent stayed stable but after a year or so the management kept raising the rent until we threw up our hands and bought a house in Hyattsville.
The management was not great, they towed one of our cars without notice and I had to fight with them over the towing costs.
The heat and air conditioning could not be controlled. In our apartment it was usually too hot in the winter and too cool in the summer but we were on a the seventh floor.
The apartments seemed pretty solidly built and had nice balconies but thier was a noise problem, which as far as I could tell came from sound going through the ventilation ducts ratehr than through the walls.
