Empire Apartments
Great place to live because of how close it is to campus. Can be loud depending on what floor you live on because of the undergraduate students. Has had issues with AC breaking the past two summers.

Good Location if you want to live in Foggy Bottom DC
I've lived here since before coming to GMU Law. This is close to GW and about 15 minutes from GMU Law on the Foggy Bottom Metro. If you want to live in the city, it is a decent place. Price is high but so are most places in DC. Mostly students live in the building. New owners took over recently and quality has improved.

Overall Great
The Empire has a great location, it is a 2 minute walk from the GW Law School. The building is kept very clean. Management is extremely responsive if there are any maintenance issues, no matter what day or time it is. All winter long they have free coffee and hot drinks.

Good Location
The Apartment is very close to GWU, several office buildings, the metro, Whole Foods, and the National Mall. This is the best part of the apartment.

Pretty Average
My stay has been uneventful. I did have two amazon packages that Amazon claimed were delivered but I never got notice of. I don't know if they were stolen or never actually delivered, but packages are often left out in the open, especially if the front desk woman is not at the desk.

Nice Apartment
I live in a warm and cozy studio, which is perfect for one person. Large walk-in closet, no noise problem. If you prefer to live in a spacious apartment, it's probably not a great choice for you. But I think it's worth the price with respect to the services I receive and the great location.

Close to Campus
I have not had any issues with the apartment. It is very close to campus and quiet. The staff is nice but not always there during the hours they are supposed to be. Also, the kitchen only has mini-fridges which is not great. I am staying for an additional year though because it is enough space for now and I am happy with it.

It's just what I need!
Although the kitchen is small, the living room is spacious. After that, I have a curtain that separates the living room from the alcove, which is where my bed is. It allows me to have privacy. The walk in closet is slightly small, as well as a bathroom. However, considering that this is a studio, it makes 100% sense for it to be this size.

Empire Apartments
Pros:
- Less than 5 minute walk to campus
- Clean building
- Quiet neighbors
- No pests
- Quick maintenance request turn-around
- Lots of laundry machines
- New gym as of 2016
- Rooftop
- Power has never gone out
- Always have hot water
Cons:
- Can only pick up packages M-F 9am-5pm
- Neighborhood lacks nightlife/entertainment
- Gym is very basic
- Washing machine is $2/load; dryer is $1.50/load
- Cannot control temperature. Building either turns on the AC or heat every 6 months. Open a window, get a fan, or get extra blankets if you're uncomfortable. Note, however, that neither the heat nor AC is usually at an extreme temperature. They are pretty good about keeping the building at a moderate temperature.
