2501 Porter: good overall (Recommending!)

2007-06-06T22:42:10-06:00

From zhulinka: I was really happy living here, but the rent has been raised so I have to leave. For people like myself without a car, the large hill makes it a chore to get groceries, etc. The building is well managed, the staff working at the concierge are very friendly and ...

2501 Porter: Good quiet place (Recommending!)

2007-04-21T12:40:55-06:00

From yama: The apartments are well-insulated (being concrete) from typical noisy ugly Americans. Its on a hill so get a clue if you get an apartment facing the road out front: people will be gunning their engines to go up it (do I have to think for everybody?). Likewise by the pool ...

2501 Porter: HORRIBLE Management!! (Not Recommending)

2007-03-30T16:52:59-06:00

From -Anonymous-: It is a beautiful building but at the end of our lease they were going to increase our rent $500 per month to renew. Prepare to move at the end of your lease term because Charles E. Smith properties is an unethical company with no regard for customer service. ... [click to read full apartment review]

From dcresident5: The apartment building is in an excellent location, and is quiet (especially the apartments at the back), it has good soundproofing between apartments and from those above. The staff are polite and friendly and react well to problems. Unfortunately however the building needs major investment and upgrading. In particular, the ... [click to read full apartment review]

2501 Porter: Great neigborhood, great building. (Recommending!)

2007-01-16T21:15:24-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I looked everywhere on the Red Line in NW DC, and this building has the best price for what you get in any neighborhood. Cleveland Park is a great area, small town feel, but very close to the city..a cab can be hailed to get to Adam's Morgan or Georgetown ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-04-10T11:02:22-06:00

From CP2006: I'm sad to be leaving 2501 Porter - I bought a condo and that's why I am.

Overall, this is a great building - walls are thick, there's free guest parking in the front, (smallish) washer-dryer in each apartment, 24-hr front desk....the apartments themselves are very well-constructed and all of ... [click to read full apartment review]

2501 Porter: Updated Review - Still good except for staff issues (Recommending!)

2004-09-21T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: OK, Abraham left. (He was the aforementioned sole competent staff person at 2501 Porter.) Sad. He was apparently "moved up within the company." Some of the current staff people are somewhat decent. By the time you read this, though, they'll probably all be gone too. Does anyone ever stay in ... [click to read full apartment review]

2501 Porter: Nice Building, uneven management (Recommending!)

2004-06-25T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Overall, I really like living at 2501 Porter. The apartments are roomy and the walls are pretty thick. There's also a washer/dryer in each apartment.

But the quality of service depends hugely on who you deal with. Abraham at the front desk is the best - he is always friendly, ... [click to read full apartment review]

2004-04-03T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I recently moved into an apartment at 2501 Porter and my experience has been phenomenal. The assistant community manager was very nice, helpful and accessible. All of my maintenance issues were dealt with within 24 hours or less. I have found the staff and my neighbors to be friendly. 2501 ... [click to read full apartment review]

2501 Porter: great location, okay building but terrible staffing issues (Not Recommending)

2004-01-04T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved into 2501 Porter in November of 2003, it seemed to be a decent place with a GREAT location. It was the most expensive property that I viewed, but thought it would be well worth the price due to the location. Some things annoyed me. As advertised, the property ...

2501 Porter: Pricey, but Good Value (Recommending!)

2003-03-19T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived at 2501 Porter for a year and would still be there if I hadn´t left DC. First, the staff is exceptional. There is 24/7 front desk security and the people actually know you and care about you. For instance, my mother mailed a birthday cake to me in ... [click to read full apartment review]

2501 Porter: Nice place but needs work (Recommending!)

2002-10-21T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The staff here are wonderful and would bend over backwards to help you out. Community is very nice, great safe neighborhood and Rock Creek Park is right out your door. Cleveland Park has some great resturants and cute shops and despite what people claim, its closer to the zoo than ... [click to read full apartment review]
