Well, we moved here from a great place in Adams Morgan (The Washington House) b/c we loved the neighborhood and the building manager who showed us around. It was also a decent price for a two bedroom at $1625. Then, when our lease came around for renewal they raised it 25% YES, thats what I wrote, 25%! It was a more than $400 a month increase. Our neighbors across the hall were raised $500! Basically, our entire building is moving out, and I have seen others in other buildings moving also. The new building manager is pretty nice and for the most part knows what he is doing, but really have no power when it comes to dealing with residents. He has to run everything by the corporate office and they don't care about residents at all. When I complained about our rent being raised too much, they said they'd lower it $100, but thats still outrageous, so we are moving. The place is ok, but definitely not worth $2125! I'd expect that if I was living in a place with 24 hour door man and an elevator. And, good concierge service. The office closes at 6, so if you get home after then, forget about getting your packages. And, sometimes, they forget to notify you that you have a package, so we would just have to call a couple of times a week to see if something was there. The floors are very loud and squeeky and we could hear our neighbors (we even lived on the top floor) Be careful what you say b/c your neighbors can definitely hear you. There are also several residents who let their dogs run around without a leash, and the building does nothing to stop it. I have two dogs and am a very responsible pet owner, but some of the residents aren't. The maintenance guy isn't very responsive and I never felt comfortable having them come into my place when I wasnt there. In the past I have had great relationships with the maintenance staff, but it was like they didn't care. Our place has several issues that were never resolved. When we moved in the kitchen cabinets were hanging off the wall and it took them a while to fix it. Most of the radiators won't turn off, so just expect to be hot during the winter. We have had to turn the AC on occasionally, just to cool off. Tunlaw Gardens used to be a great place, but not anymore. I have no idea why they think they are worth such a rent increase. You'd think they'd have loyalty to their residents, I guess not!
