Cambridge Apartments: No! (Not Recommending)

2009-04-27T14:41:48-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived in the Cambridge for almost 2 years. I had to find an apartment really fast in D.C. and I found the Cambridge. I was really thrilled with the price, but now I understand why it was so affordable.For one, the apartment I had was fully carpeted. I admit ... [click to read full apartment review]

Cambridge Apartments: Like living with Cockroaches? (Not Recommending)

2008-08-04T13:26:49-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have to admit that I was very excited when I found this place. It was in a great location, but kind of a far walk to the metro. But the price could not be beat. Now I know why...I lived with an infestation of cockroaches. Every week I was ... [click to read full apartment review]

Cambridge Apartments: Good place to live for student or young couples. (Recommending!)

2007-04-09T23:23:52-06:00

From -Anonymous-: It's not that fancy, but people are nice, and it's super convinient, you can be annoyed sometimes when the hotwater goes out (twice a year), or the driers stop working, but the managers are very nice and helpful. They try to solve problems for you as soon as they can. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Cambridge Apartments: Expensive and roaches!!! (Not Recommending)

2007-01-08T02:14:12-06:00

Plus the building is quite old buiilt in ... [click to read full apartment review]

Cambridge Apartments: ROACHES ARE BAD! (Not Recommending)

2006-12-16T18:35:49-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I agree. The Roaches are A MAJOR PROBLEM AND IT DOESN'T GO AWAY. They come in a treat it but it doesn't help. When you have a maintenance issue, they also take days to fix the problem. Kenny is awesome and the rest of the staff who works there is ... [click to read full apartment review]

Cambridge Apartments: Loved This Place... (Recommending!)

2006-12-16T02:07:03-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived in the Cambridge from June 2003 until June 2005. I do not think that I could have discovered a more wonderful living accommodation. In addition to its excellent location (virtually metro/walking accessible to any place in the city), the Cambridge offers a warmth that I just do not ... [click to read full apartment review]

Cambridge Apartments: Roach problem (Not Recommending)

2006-11-02T00:48:38-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I live on the 7th floor and have been here for over a year. The roach problem has been around for the same amount of time as well.

Cambridge Apartments: (Recommending!)

2006-10-08T16:12:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Yes there was a roach problem in fall of 2005, that was eventually cleared up. Haven't seen any all year in my apt.

Maintenance is actually very good. And any time I've had something old or non-functioning in my apartment, they replaced it almost immediatly.

Yes, some staff is nice, some aren't. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Cambridge Apartments: This is all you need to know about the Cambridge (Not Recommending)

2007-08-27T14:54:10-06:00

Cambridge Apartments: Could be a great place to live... (Recommending!)

2006-07-04T19:48:02-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I enjoy living here most of the time, but there are plenty of things that could be improved. The a/c units are old and only work moderatly. There air doesn't reach the bathrooms.

2006-04-12T19:28:11-06:00

I have lived here, on the 10th floor, for 6 months and have NEVER seen a cockroach. As for the other floors, I have no clue.

Cambridge Apartments: Needs to work on Tenant Relations... (Recommending!)

2006-03-25T07:49:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Good location, nice lobby, decent apartments... it has so much promise. The main problem/annoyance you will run into here at 1221 Mass NW is dealing with certain staff that tend to be a bit rude and short with residents.

Cambridge Apartments: If you like cockroach friends (Not Recommending)

2005-12-14T15:38:03-06:00

From -Anonymous-: then live here.

I have been killing one every two days. I have no trash nor food out, and they are still out hunting. I don't know why management is not doing more to improve the situation. I have asked for my apartment to be sprayed twice now, and I ... [click to read full apartment review]

Cambridge Apartments: Going downhill (Not Recommending)

2005-11-21T21:44:53-06:00

From dcrenter34: I moved into the Cambridge in 2003 and it was great--clean, the management is pretty attentive and decent amenities. This year they remodeled on every floor and I think they disturbed some sort of roach nucleus. Now my apartment (and apparently everyone else's from the 4-7 floors) are infested. It ...

2005-10-11T19:41:57-06:00

From -Anonymous-: After reading other reviews, it is apparent the entire building is infested. I would be somewhat happy with the apartment if there were not roaches everywhere.

Cambridge Apartments: Avoid 7th Floor (Not Recommending)

2005-10-08T15:14:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I got my apartment here while I was abroad so I got this apartment without seeing it first. I have the lowest price studio, which might have been a mistake itself, because it came with very ugly "hardwood" floor. In every corner of the apartment was also quite some short ...

2005-08-22T09:27:11-06:00

2004-06-26T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Love having a pool, exercise room, nice laundry room, and convenience store, and the apartment is within walking distance of every color metro line.

2004-06-23T00:00:00-06:00

From kbarron: My two favorite things about living at the Cambridge are the staff, and the downtown location. The staff are very professional, and also very friendly and personable.

From -Anonymous-: Nice staff but lots of street noise and poor climate control.
