Tunlaw Gardens: great bang for your buck (Recommending!)

2009-08-18T09:54:03-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have to disagree with the other posts. I have lived in Tunlaw Gardens for several months now and I have nothing but great things to say. I pay less than a lot of places in the area (and, I get a lot more than most of the places too!) ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: DO NOT RENT - Part of Archstone Properties (Not Recommending)

2009-03-09T13:48:37-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Definitely avoid Tunlaw Gardens, part of Archstone, in Glover Park. The turnover is extremely high as they will raise their tenants rent to the legal maximum each time they have the opportunity. They know people are often not in a position to move and take full advantage of it. They ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: Sort of a slum in an expensive neighborhood (Recommending!)

2008-03-26T00:22:54-06:00

From DracoFlangetastic: Glover Park is a very neighborhood-y neighborhood -- parks, elementary school, no through traffic, trees, grass, pretty quiet -- and I like it a lot. Tunlaw Gardens, though, does not reflect the high property values in the area, though.The buildings are old, which can be great, but it appears that ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: Look Elsewhere (Not Recommending)

2007-03-06T12:12:58-06:00

From jadium: The apartments themselves are fine. Nothing special. My apartment has its quirks. closet doors don't shut, bedroom doors don't shut, foggy mirrors. I can deal with this stuff. The real problem I have is that Charles E. Smith are theives. There is no rhyme or reason to the way they ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: Do not move here (Not Recommending)

2007-01-29T16:32:09-06:00

From -Anonymous-: You'll never be able to get the maintenance staff to fix anything. So either don't move here, or just resolve to live with leaky pipes, non-working shower heads, and the like. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: I love it here, but do have minor issues (Recommending!)

2006-05-08T17:28:58-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived in Tunlaw Gardens almost 2 years and I love it. I love that it's an old building, I love the lay-out and I love the closet space. I have a new kitchen and that is great too. I had had some maintenance issues and for the most part, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: They Suck! (Not Recommending)

2006-02-28T17:30:04-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My rent went from 1260 to 1900! For a one bedroom with a non-updated kitchen. Charles E Smith/Archstone is the worst rental company in the marketplace. Just say no! ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: DON'T LIVE HERE! (Not Recommending)

2006-02-21T10:15:12-06:00

From -Anonymous-: 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 ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: Decent (Recommending!)

2006-01-19T14:27:51-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have a great apartment. Hardly any noise from neighbors. Great maintenance guys. The just painted the building lobbies and they look great. Was an excellent area for pets, but now the city had posted "no dogs allowed signs" on the park at 40th and Calvert creating quite and uproar ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: Rent too over the top (Not Recommending)

2005-07-06T13:43:11-06:00

From Jan2005: I have been living in Tunlaw Gardens for nearyl 8 years. My rent use to go up 8% each year, but last year it went up nearly 20% and this year they shot it up nearly 20% again. I am now moving, the cost is too much for what they ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: Let this be the only review you read! AWESOME PLACE (Recommending!)

2005-04-17T14:37:47-06:00

From mikestern2@gmail.com: I have lived at Tunlaw Gardens for about a year.

I've read other reviews and understand issues of other people, however, this neighborhood has finished its transition, it has new management and went under a heavy renovation.

This apartment complex is now managed by Charles E Smith...google them, they have the best ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: Nice start (Recommending!)

2004-11-26T19:04:05-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I just moved in from LA and this was a welcome place to start in from. The leasing staff of course is much friendlier than the property/maintanence staff but then again what's new.

For the price (this apartment is twice what I paid living in LA! if you can believe it) ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: Moved due to unlivable conditions.... (Not Recommending)

2004-11-11T07:22:47-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We had to move due to unlivable conditions. A hole in our ceiling took over five weeks to get fixed while rain leaked into a large trash bucket. Over the span of a few months spring/summer of 2004, windows were replaced, plumbing was replaced, the exterior was washed, outside windows ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: Underwhelming (Not Recommending)

2004-10-06T14:31:01-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Tunlaw Gardens is situated in a nice section of DC. Unfortunately, that's about where the positive aspects end. Rent and parking continue to increase substantially, making this a poor value. The exterior maintenance has declined drastically, and management does not return phone calls. ...

Tunlaw Gardens: Excellent Apartment (Recommending!)

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

From -Anonymous-: I have lived at this complex for 1 year and love it. The apartment is clean and tenants are nice. The management is very responsive and good about maintaining the grounds.
I have only had a positive experience!

Tunlaw Gardens: Nice place--but not good value for what they're charging (Recommending!)

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

From -Anonymous-: Have been living in this complex for many years. In typical Charles E Smith style, each year they try to raise the rent at least $100--very aggressive, and not at all in line with the rest of the market in this neighborhood. The apartments are quite nice and fairly well ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: Awesome place to live! (Recommending!)

2003-10-06T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved 2 months ago, and I truly love this place. The apartments are almost perfectly sound proof - I´ve only heard my neighbors once and that´s because they were having a large party. The floors are a beautiful parquet, but protect sound like cement - no sound going through ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: Rapidly Declining (Not Recommending)

2003-07-17T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: When we first moved to Tunlaw Gardens, we absolutely loved it. The manager was very kind, and, most importantly, responsive. Unfortunately, that manager has since moved on to I believe another Smith Property, so we are now stuck with an unresponsive manager who is completely incapable of returning phone calls.

Donﾴt ... [click to read full apartment review]

Tunlaw Gardens: Loved living here (Recommending!)

2002-06-14T00:00:00-06:00

From AineMG: I lived here from 2001-March 2002 and it was really nice. The buildings are old, so they have beautiful floors, brick exterior, archways, high ceilings and thick plaster walls, but the management had updated my apartment with brand new appliances, counters etc, and was making more improvements while I was ...

Tunlaw Gardens: Great appliances, good management, good location (Recommending!)

2002-06-12T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The management is very attentive. The location is solid, near restaraunts, whole foods market, but in residential area. All new kitchen and bathroom appliances. Good size living space, thick walls, quiet.
