Couldn't be happier with the Belvedere. Apartment is bigger than expected and has great views, great management and no large issues. It was very stressful finding a place, and although it isn't the cheapest option, it's worth it.

Cheap housing 1 metro stop away from campus

This apartment is the best. 24/7 security, really nice gym and pool, indoor parking (no shoveling snow in the winter!), storage unit, and it really feels like a community. The building is very close to the GUTS bus that takes you to campus, as well as the DC Circulator bus and Rosslyn Metro stop that take you anywhere else you need to go in DC.

There is a gym, pool, 24 hour doorman, in-building dry cleaning and convenience store, in-unit washer and dryer, building-hosted social events, storage unit that comes with each unit.

I've lived in the Belvedere for 5 years now and never want to leave. The apartment is spacious and bright and perfectly set up for two people, with bedrooms on opposite sides of the apartment. Our unit has not been updated but this is reflected in the price. The building amenities - gym, pool, front desk, and convenience shop - are superior to any other building I've seen. All my friends are jealous!

I really like living in the Belvedere. The building is a luxury condo with outdoor pool, very nice gym, and tennis courts. I really like that it is close walking distance to both the Rosslyn GUTS bus stop, the Rosslyn circulator stop (the DC Circulator goes to Georgetown and Dupont Circle), and the Rosslyn Metro stop. Safeway is within walking distance. My buliding is a condo, so listings are not available from the building management, but are usually listed on Craigslist or other sites. One downside is that it's hard to get to campus when the Rosslyn GUTS bus is not running (runs infrequently on Saturdays, and not at all on Sundays).

The Belvedere is a pretty good place to live. The crowd is older - not many students here, mostly young working families or older couples. The condo rules are pretty strict, and the move in fee is relatively high, but the place is beautiful, and the amenities are fantastic - summer outdoor pool, year-round indoor gym, library, 24 desk service that accept package delivery, and a small grocery store/dry cleaning location in the basement. Our 2 bedroom unit came with 1 parking spot, which we make work, but if you needed a second one it would be about $100-130 a month. You're not eligible for a street permit if you live in a high rise, so that can be an issue if you need a place for 2 cars. Since the units are all condos, there's a lot of variation in size, layout, price, balconies, and amenities between apartments. My place has a sun room, hardwood floors, granite kitchen counters, marble bathroom counters, and is otherwise quite nice and recently redone. Rosslyn as a neighborhood is on the quiet side, but there's Piola, a good pizza place that usually has soccer on at the bar, Cafe Asia, Pho 79, Rays, and a couple other good places nearby. Location-wise, this place is amazing - you can walk to Georgetown, it's a 5 minute walk to the metro stop, and a one stop metro hop to school. One metro stop in the other direction (or a long-ish walk) is the Courthouse stop, which has a really nice and recently redone movie theater, an Irish pub, a killer kebab place, and some fast food.

Solid Place to live
