3801 Connecticut Avenue: Eh. Not bad, over-priced. (Recommending!)

2008-07-14T09:37:30-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The apartment itself is great. I haven't had any issues really. The previous post regarding moving in is accurate. They are VERY strict when it comes to stuff like moving in (only 9-5 and you must reserve spots). Otherwise, the maintenance staff is ok, the ppl that work in the ...

2008-06-27T12:13:25-06:00

3801 Connecticut Avenue: This place is God-awful (Not Recommending)

2008-02-25T00:22:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Here are the problems with 3801: 1. There are mice in the building. I've heard people talk about it for months, and just last month I saw one myself. 2. The rent is far overpriced. They'll nail you for random fees that they don't tell you about as well. ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Awful, awful, awful (Not Recommending)

2007-10-16T14:50:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Spare yourself a headache and don't live here. The postings talking about roaches and mice are true. We found mice under our couch. The place smells bad all the time. The washers/dryers never work and when they do, they're never available. 7 or so washers for 9 floors?? There's no ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: A wonderful experience (Recommending!)

2007-10-04T11:56:27-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for two years and have had a wonderful experience. The apartment is clean and my neighbors are kind, quiet, and respectful. I love using the social room and weight room, both on my floor. The laundry room is crowded at night and on weekends, but you ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Like living in a dorm (Not Recommending)

2007-10-16T06:42:42-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Management has to be the worst in town. The apartments are decent but the apartment community just sucks. Dirty, noisy, and incompetent management. Living here is like living in a college dormitory. You can find people running up and down the halls shouting to their friends at all hours. If ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: if you can handle the noise (Not Recommending)

2007-02-28T19:37:19-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If you don't mind wearing earphones to drown out the noise of the loud neighbors that you'll inevitably encounter here, then move in. When you charge mid-range rent prices you're bound to attract some trash. In addition, this building also draws undergraduate students who don't realize (and don't care) that ...

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Mgmt sucks (Not Recommending)

2006-10-26T14:40:22-06:00

From -Anonymous-: i recommend not living here mainly becuase the management is not very responsive, they turn off the AC very early in fall, and turn on late in spring. ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Has it's faults, but overall satisfactory! (Not Recommending)

2006-08-03T17:30:05-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Yes, this building does have a faulty AC unit which they are planning to repair in the Fall. Yes, this building does have GIANT roaches...I spotted 3 so far. My apartment is very well kept, and I don't leave food out. I think the bugs and rats are actually because ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: building is falling apart! (Not Recommending)

2006-07-19T16:20:14-06:00

From -Anonymous-: In the last week, the laundry facilities stopped working (management claims it is not their responsibility to keep those up - they have an outside contractor whom residents must contact directly), the elevator got stuck (with people in it), and the air conditioning for the entire building stopped working for ...

3801 Connecticut Avenue: OK (Recommending!)

2006-07-18T15:39:14-06:00

From jeilidh: Ok, so the staff can be VERY unresponsive to major issues such as air conditioning and elevators-two CONSTANT problems here, but overall, the maintenancce men responded to other issues very quickly, it is a really safe building, everyone is pretty friendly and the location is amazing. They keep raising the ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: DO NOT RENT HERE (Not Recommending)

2006-07-17T23:05:36-06:00

From Rent_Elsewhere: WARNING: Since the manager (Bonnie) departed in 2006 and the new manager arrived, the water and the air-conditioning are not working almost every other day. The building has two elevators but one of them is ALWAYS out of order.

This building�s hallways are dark and often stinky. The rent goes ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Stay away - RATS! (Not Recommending)

2006-05-31T14:50:38-06:00

From khaaan2@gmail.com: What a nightmare. I'm not going to go into a diatribe about how awful the building is except to say that there are a TON of rats and mice running through the walls. When we moved out there were RAT DROPPINGS all over the apt and we put out traps ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: call it home (Recommending!)

2005-11-22T11:39:06-06:00

From -Anonymous-: 3801 has a nice ambience, and the location is good. Parking can be a problem on the street.
The maintenance (Pius) and porters are fantastic. Repairs are done timely, and someone is staffed at the front desk around the clock.
This is an old buildling, but you will love it here. All ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Re: the last post (Recommending!)

2005-11-15T22:52:08-06:00

From kharismata: Okay, in all fairness this person just visited the apartment building and doesn't live here. I could write a lot of reviews about all the crappy apartments I've seen in DC. I've lived here since July and I am substantially happier than I was at my last place (Garfield House). ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Awful! (Not Recommending)

2005-11-05T15:45:18-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We looked a this apartment building recently. The lobby is dated and smells like cigarettes & filth. There was a woman sitting in the lobby in her "housecoat" and boots (not a very appealing welcome). Some of the hallways are under repair. Those that have been repaired are not impressive. ...

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Good Building, Great Location (Recommending!)

2005-10-25T14:12:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Apartments here are decently priced. I first lived an efficiency, which would probably be fine for one person, but I would not recommend for a couple. I'm now in a one-bedroom, which is quite ample.

The front desk is manned 24 hours a day, which is both nice as a safety ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: A good, safe building in a great neighborhood. (Recommending!)

2005-06-13T17:40:26-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived at 3801 Connecticut Ave. from 1996 until 2002 when I bought my own home. I have no regrets and have recommended the building to friends, including one who moved into the building and also liked it. ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Safe, great location, but noisy. (Recommending!)

2005-01-30T15:51:50-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I love the size of my studio (500 sq ft compared to less than 400 in other buildings), the location of the building (easy walk to Cleveland Park metro), and the safety of the neighbourhood. It's expensive, but if you get a unit on a lower floor without a view ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Not so good... (Recommending!)

2005-01-09T16:00:56-06:00

From ballstownresident: When I moved in, the advertised hardwood floor had been covered by ratty carpet (with the nailboards still exposed in most places, i might add) due to a pet stain left by the previous owner. The pet stain left quite a horrid smell in the apartment that I was able ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Nothing special, but a decent place to live. (Recommending!)

2004-12-10T10:07:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Pretty good price for the area. Haven't had any real problems. Some weird decisions - like they used to have coffee and doughnuts every morning, and then cut back to every other morning and smaller coffee cups. Seemed like a petty way to cut costs. They also redecorated but it ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: location good, bldg. okay, good maintenance (Recommending!)

2004-01-18T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The best thing lately about "3801" is the rude, obnoxious, and retarded manager "David" is gone. I don´t know the circumstances, but what a relief. He was a smart-alec, and very strange person. THANK YOU WRIT, for ridding this bldg. of him.
Overall, the location is great, within walking distance to ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: BEWARE! (Not Recommending)

2003-08-11T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: All is well unless you have to break your lease. After a year and a half, I unexpectedly needed to move. According to the lease, the penalty for breaking the lease is a 30-day notice period and 2 months rent (equal to more than $2000 for a small studio). The ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Just ok (Not Recommending)

2003-06-23T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I agree with the comments that the walls are THIN!! I got used to it and thought that 3801 was ok. The location cannot be beat, but the apartment itself was very basic. Also, I paid the extra money to get a parking space in the garage & my car ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: JUST LOVELY!!! (Not Recommending)

2003-05-07T00:00:00-06:00

From tweedperry: i have lived here 1 year and am extremely disappointed in this apartment building. The managers refused to fix any problems in the apartment before I moved in and ignored my maintence requests. However, if your looking for a good company to pay out in a law suit by all ...

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Do not live here (Not Recommending)

2002-06-26T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I was very happy with aspects of this building, but I would not recommend it. In all honesty I make a lot more money than most 28 year olds, and my family is also wealthy. The management here in this building know as much, and they have taken advantage of ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: I do not recommend renting here (Not Recommending)

2002-05-24T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived in an apartment in this building for a little over a year. I had several problems, and when I asked management to fix anything, they took their time. The building was not prepared for the moisture created by Rockcreek Park. My apartment developed a mold problem, and it ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Stay away from this rip-off (Not Recommending)

2002-03-26T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: 1. Total rip-off
2. Management is surly, unhelpful and rude.
3. Massive construction noise every morning.

3801 Connecticut Avenue: With the nearby construction and management, this apartment was less than desirable. (Recommending!)

2002-02-18T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Although the building had potential, the walls were so thin, that a fairly normal conversation could be heard through them. A large high-rise condominium was being built just feet from 3801 and the noise was terrible!!!! Every morning at 7:00, whether you wanted to or not, you would be up ...

3801 Connecticut Avenue: Used To Be Better (Not Recommending)

2002-01-04T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I loved 3801 when I moved it, but now the rent has gone up so much, and the management is unfriendly. They seem to be having trouble renting lately and it´s no surprise. Part of it´s not their fault - there´s a building under construction next door - but the ... [click to read full apartment review]

3801 Connecticut Avenue: (Recommending!)

2001-06-04T00:00:00-06:00

From david.landon@cole.nu: I should point out that I rented furnished for only three months, and came from London (going by London prices, I thought I was being given a weekly rent; it was a monthly rent, inclusive of utilities). 3801 is a nice place to live. I had a studio that looked ... [click to read full apartment review]
