The Buchanan: Lived here for 2 years, no complaints... (Recommending!)

2008-10-29T10:47:43-06:00

From aras0019: I've lived here for about 2 years now, and I don't have any serious complaints. I actually really enjoy living here. It's clean, safe, convenient, and classy. My only complaint would be the parking situation, but that has now been pretty much cleared up. Unfortunately, what one of the other ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Buchanan: Rent increases not too bad this year. (Not Recommending)

2008-06-10T18:44:23-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved into the Buchanan last fall when I moved to the area. I'd read about rent increases, and thought it was a market change since Crystal City has had a lot of development in the past few years. Whoah! I got my notice this year my rent was going ...

The Buchanan: Far Better Places To Live (Not Recommending)

2008-04-10T17:12:23-06:00

From nymerger: I moved into the Buchanan in May of 2007 because of a divorce. I spend only three or four nights a week in the building on average. The amenities in the building are there solely as a show for prospective tenants. The gym is wholly inadequate for a building of ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Buchanan: Buchanan staff makes living experience tough (Not Recommending)

2007-11-16T14:50:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The staff at the Buchanan is, by far, the worst staff of any apartment building in which I have lived. The building staff is bombarded with complaints and seems to have chosen to deal with the situation by treating residents with disrespect. The resident "concierge" often deals with residents as ...

The Buchanan: I disagree (Recommending!)

2007-05-30T16:24:47-06:00

From innkid: This site is so unhelpful because only complaints get posted. I have lived in the Buchanan since August '05 and have had a great living experience. You can't expect perfection at any apartment building, but there's not alot to complain about here. There are no bugs or rodents in the ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Buchanan: Overpriced, but "decent." (Not Recommending)

2006-12-17T03:46:02-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Overpriced property.

Noise is a serious problem. There are drunken college kids screaming in your hallway every night, people talking loudly outside, and sirens flying down the streets.

Cars honking and traffic noise is constant. Parking in this area is NOT fun.

The building smells of mold and sewage.

The amenities are ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Buchanan: Not Worth the Money! (Not Recommending)

2004-04-05T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Well, to begin with getting an apartment here is like negotiating wt used car salespeople. But you don´t know it! The first price is never the best price and they don´t advertize their prices so they can soak you for the most $$.
No washer & dryer as in other places ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Buchanan: So-So (Not Recommending)

2003-03-07T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I´m a current resident. The lobby looks great and the rec rooms are awesome. However, service needs a LOT of improvement. Balcony sliding door has been broken since last fall and we´ve been told the door has been ordered but it´s been more than 4 months and it is still ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Buchanan: It is a college dormitory (Not Recommending)

2003-01-11T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: It used to be a great community but it is now invaded by college kids with their loads of keg parties, smoking and overall loud behavior. Just sad. ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Buchanan: the best in DC (Recommending!)

2002-12-08T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Lived here for a year and absolutely loved it. Other than a grumpy front desk, the property is wonderful. I had never been able to say that I live under a shopping mall - couldn´t beat the location! Plus my balcony was the size of a small country - definitely ... [click to read full apartment review]
