I love the neighborhood; it's quiet but it's close to a few areas with restaurants, groceries and shopping. The apartment building is old which has its drawbacks, but the wood flooring is lovely, the walls are solid and you can't hear your neighbors. The connection… See More >

        The Chesapeake is a well-managed, pre-war building, located in a vibrant residential neighborhood within easy walking distance to the metro red line and right on the L2 bus route. Staff are friendly and responsive, and the units have vintage charm.

            I love this community. The leasing office has been incredibly helpful and even though the building is older, maintenance does a great job keeping the building up. I renewed this year and likely will again next year.

                        Avoid if you can. Big apartments, sweltering heat, rats and cockroaches, inefficient procedures. Maintenance and some individuals incredibly caring, competent and overworked bearing the brunt of underfunding bad management.
