Gables Woodley Park: DO NOT LIVE HERE IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DOG-FRIENDLY APARTMENT (Not Recommending)

2009-12-15T19:14:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This company masters the bait and switch for prospective tenants. Tenants with dogs pay extra rent, in comparison to other tenants, and are told that dogs can use the off-leash are behind the building as well as the courtyard. Now, however, the management has banned dogs from the courtyard, due ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: Quiet and not bad (Recommending!)

2009-12-09T12:12:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'm surprised by some of the reviews here. Anyway, I read this board when making a decision and was weary but decided to move in anyway, I started my lease 8/1/2009 and have been here for 4 months now. I have found it to be very quiet, it's a very ... [click to read full apartment review]

2009-11-05T20:29:31-06:00

From moneyback1@live.com: My deposit was not returned. I think it wasn't just mine. I'm thinking about filing a class action lawsuit. If you're interested in getting your money back, please email at moneyback1@live.com ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: Good and safe place to live (Recommending!)

2009-06-27T06:14:07-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for a year and a half and it was my first apartment in DC. Overall, I loved my time here. The neighborhood is great, and the proximity to the bike paths in Rock Creek Park and the Parkway alone are huge selling points. Aside from that, the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: worst management (Not Recommending)

2009-05-12T07:43:12-06:00

From nicktom24@yahoo.com: The management is going from bad to the worst situation. It is becoming a group of incapables. The gentlemen at the front desk are the only ones we rely on. A nice building and excellent area but the management makes it unsafe for living. I am waiting for my lease ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: We like it! (Recommending!)

2009-04-15T14:20:35-06:00

From christina.trahan@yahoo.com: Having recently moved in I was very concerned with the reviews. However there are not many pet friendly buildings to choose from, so we took a chance. The building is exceptionally clean and the staff is friendly and efficent. The location can't be beat, one short block to the metro ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: Bad Management (Not Recommending)

2009-01-27T10:11:31-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Rude management is an understatement! It is not nice to live in a place when you have to cringe when you walk through the lobby. Management has gotten worse lately. Ask a polite question about a problem you are experiencing and expect to be abused!I lived there for a year ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: 2-year resident review (Not Recommending)

2009-01-17T20:41:59-06:00

From swisstraveler@gmail.com: I've lived at the Gables Woodley park location for 2 years (actually switched floors recently to a slightly larger 1 bedroom). Thought I'd write a review to help provide some input for people considering this place. First off, why take time to write this review? I personally don't write a ...

Gables Woodley Park: Great place to live (Recommending!)

2009-01-06T06:48:13-06:00

From robynoneill: Despite the power outages (which are being worked on) I've found this a great place to live. My maintenance requests are promptly acted upon (usually on the same day) and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. It's really handy to the Metro and close to lots of great restaurants ...

Gables Woodley Park: Decent buidling, Horrible Management (Not Recommending)

2008-11-23T08:19:05-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The building and apartments are clean and you can't beat the neighborhood. But the management is rude and extremely incompetent. They moved the management office so that it's right in the lobby, which essentially renders the common areas around it useless. The power failures are outrageous, and no, they definitely ...

Gables Woodley Park: Go elsewhere! BAD management company! (Not Recommending)

2008-10-18T20:17:05-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The apartments are definitely overpriced, but more importantly, the management, especially higher level management, is very difficult to ascertain information from or work with. The elevators are always broken (or should I say "routine maintenance" almost every week), and trying to get a simple answer from anyone is nearly impossible. ...

Gables Woodley Park: HORRIBLE management!!!! (Not Recommending)

2008-10-15T07:08:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have been living here since Jan 2008. Don't have much to complain about the apartment itself, besides the fact that they are outrageously expensive. However, the management team. What a nightmare! The management team has been changed at least 3 times in the past 9 months. Some of them ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: Be careful (Not Recommending)

2009-01-13T21:18:44-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I wish I could say my own experience has improved, but it hasn't. Perhaps I have a bad unit or maybe the building overall has issues - I can only speak for my own experience - but I still have consistent problems with major utilities. Tonight I returned from a ...

Gables Woodley Park: Good place to live (Recommending!)

2008-09-01T17:35:12-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have been very satisfied with the building, management, and amenities. The apartments have good floor-plans and all the appliances, including dishwasher and washer/dryer, work well. My only complaints are that the windows don't open fully by design, and the central air system is very loud. Other than that, the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: HORRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE! (Not Recommending)

2008-07-20T00:54:36-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Since this year, there's already 7 power failures. This is far too ridiculous for a new apartment. Management does not care! Poor and slow maintenance. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: I don't enjoy living here (Not Recommending)

2008-06-16T13:50:47-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The apartments are very expensive, yet basic, and feel they are lacking in amenities. Things are not generally restocked promptly when they run out. Just assume you will be waiting several weeks for the cups in the gym to be restocked or the doggie poop bags to be restocked in ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: great place to live (Recommending!)

2008-05-07T09:46:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived in the Gables Woodley Park for three years and was very happy with the building. It was extremely safe and it was great to have one hotel across the street and another one next door. This made the area more lively, safe (as people were always around) and ...

Gables Woodley Park: They make it easy! (Recommending!)

2008-03-28T19:52:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Coming from suburbs in the south, I wanted a big, quiet, pet-friendly apartment with carpet and a washer-dryer. And it had to have convenient parking. And feel safe. And be near the metro. And be near restaurants. And have excellent maintenance. Oh, yeah, a gym would be nice too. Well, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: Nice, but overpriced and RUDE management (Not Recommending)

2007-03-31T16:27:33-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The front desk staff is sweet, sweet, sweet. So this review should not extend to them. But the property manager and his sidekick are the worst! They are sweet as sugar when you move you and if they run into while showing an apartment to someone else but once you ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: management is arrogant (Not Recommending)

2007-01-02T16:02:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If you move here, be sure to gease the asst. magr's hands as he controls eveything in the building including everyone who gets hired! Got complaints? Get on the witing list. The arrogance of the management staff is breathtaking. They act like they own the place and you have no ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: Absolutely dreadful. (Not Recommending)

2006-04-29T11:41:09-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I live on the side with the school...and it's never quiet. NEVER. The kids play there AFTER hours...and the parents wait until LATE to pick them up! Think you can close your windows and drown out the sound??? Think again! Constant noise. Also, Gables management is THE WORST in DC. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: Safe Transition from the South (Recommending!)

2006-04-19T19:43:04-06:00

From -Anonymous-: When we signed our lease, the building was known as the Henry Adams House, and the staff was professional and very kind. I have fond memories of them. Once Gables purchased the building, I did notice a regression in the quality of the staff.

We looked at several buildings in NW ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: Awful service (Not Recommending)

Gables Woodley Park: Really bad service and screaming children. (Not Recommending)

2005-09-23T21:12:36-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If you move here, you will NEVER see anyone in the rental office after you sign on that dotted line. The turnover of staff is a joke (that should tell you something about the quality of the company) and, basically, no one gives a damn about tenants. If you insist ...

Gables Woodley Park: Management does not care about residents' views. (Recommending!)

2005-09-22T14:14:06-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Overall, I have liked living in the Gables. The management, however, does not care about residents' views. The complex has (or I should say "HAD") a very nice couryard/barbecue area with a beautiful recreation room. Someone in management apparently decided this would be a good area for the leasing office. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: Naw. Definitely NOT worth it. (Not Recommending)

2005-08-04T23:56:05-06:00

From -Anonymous-: What you get is NOT directly proportional to the insanely high rent you will pay at this hell hole. BTW, disregard the post directly beneath me. It's from Gables leasing office...and I know who wrote it. Pitiful. If you move here, you will here the little darlings in the grade ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: Yes, over priced - but worth it. (Recommending!)

2005-07-26T16:10:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here for a full year and I love it. They petsit for me. If I think I left my stove on - they'll check it for me while I'm at work. They cater to you and make life easy. They're clean. Responsive. Feed you in the morning with ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: Over-priced and over-hyped by staff (Not Recommending)

2005-06-08T20:45:30-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Look elsewhere. You'll get lots of lip service and promises that never come through. Think twice after you speak with them. They'll promise you anything to get the booking. If you are looking for a building that will take care of its tenants keep looking! They don't care and don't ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: Gables: Expect a lot of spin and nothing else. (Not Recommending)

2004-12-01T11:31:18-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Moved in when L-Cor was the owner. Gables purchased the property and it's been a disappointment ever since. Rents have increased tremendously but service has significantly declined to almost non-existent. Actually, the service you are guaranteed to receive is a lot of lip-service. Promoted as a luxury apartment building, it's ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: As good as you'll get in NW (Recommending!)

2004-11-16T21:49:56-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I wanted to live in NW and searched many apartments along Conn Ave. I think the Gables was the best on offer. While the price is pretty expensive, you get what you pay for. The apartments are like brand new, with washer/dryer and self controlled, central (not window box) air ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: Horrible Management, 1st floor floods, very unprofessional. (Not Recommending)

2004-10-12T12:35:33-06:00

From -Anonymous-: How many managers have gone through this place in less then a year?
I had to deal with a Regional named Colleen who was so rude that I almost hung up on her, that was after she finally returned my call a week 1/2 later after I complained to the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: Like living in the nicest hotel you ever stayed in (Recommending!)

2004-09-14T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place is nicer than anywhere you will ever live (though believe me, you're paying for it!) Seriously-if you have a maintenance request (we haven't had very many) they will be up here within hours. There is a free breakfast (bagels and pastries) every morning and fresh-baked cookies every afternoon. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: great building!! (Recommending!)

2004-07-23T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The other poster is right, rent is high, but I think it is worth it. The building is very quiet and clean even though dogs and cats are allowed. The lease says that people will be evicted for noise violations - our kind of place.

Each apartment has its own ... [click to read full apartment review]

Gables Woodley Park: A nice place to live (Recommending!)

2004-03-29T00:00:00-06:00

From cuuplate: I lived here for a year. It was nice. They give you cookies and donuts and bagels. The rent is high enough! The parking garage spaces are small, but there were always plenty of them.

The staff is friendly and helpful.

Great location. Nice apartments.

The only downside is the price. ... [click to read full apartment review]
