Nice place but too close to GWU

The apartments in this building are well kept and the floors are pretty quiet. I also really like being able to walk to the blue/orange/silver and red line trains. Also a quick walk to Dupont Circle and Georgetown!

My only qualm is that there is a GWU freshman dorm across the street along with a cafe that is open until 3:00am Friday and Saturday. Technically the street is a 'quiet zone' but that rule is not enforced whatsoever so it can get rather loud outside on the weekends.

Perfect for Me

I'm a senior at GW who missed the deadline for housing. The Empire is perfect because it's right on campus and easy access to all my classes. My studio is nice and cozy. It's not the most modern apartment but the management does a good job keeping it up. Utilities are included and there's a ton of GW students. It also worked out cheaper than GW housing for me. no regrets.If you're a GW student looking for good and decent housing on campus you can't go wrong with Empire.

Cheap and great for location

For a studio in the area, can't beat the price. Building is clean and nice, though nothing fancy. No gym in building. One laundry room in the basement, no recycling. Building is mostly GW grad students and young professionals. The building only offers studios and 1BRs I think.

About Foggy Bottom

The naturally foggy surroundings of the area gives it its own unique name - Foggy Bottom. Unfortunately, its name does not highlight the excellent quality of music, dance and drama practiced in the neighborhood every single day.

Lots of pretty row homes, walking distance to many restaurants, grocery stores, and my school. Lots of trees and a dog park near-by. Overall, very pretty and scenic to walk through, and also close to other neighborhoods and essential stores.

I like living in Foggy, it's easy to get to school but also is close to Georgetown, which is fun for food and shopping. The northern part of Foggy (near GW) is about 10 minute walk to Dupont too, which is great.

Short walk to Georgetown, West End, and Dupont Circle. Many restaurants nearby and close to metro so you can get to anywhere in the city conveniently.

Nice to be so close to school. Short walk from the mall and other tourist destinations. Bar/restaurant/night life scene leaves a lot to be desired.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Columbia Plaza
It is really close to campus so a lot of GW folks live here! You can reach a lot of places on public transit.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Boathouse Apartments
I personally enjoy the quietness of the neighborhood and its location within a close walking distance of campus, Georgetown, the water, and convenience/grocery stores. The neighborhood is also very safe, I am a woman in my early 20's and I have never felt unsafe walking home late at night near my apartment.

Foggy Bottom is a great place to live given the proximity to the law school. It's also within walking distance of Georgetown and Dupont Circle which are fun places to go out with friends and classmates. It's also has lots of bike racks for the Capital Bikeshare nearby, and the Foggy Bottom metro stop is a few blocks up the street.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at The Statesman
A lot of college kids around but still not to noisy. Some food places a 5 to 8 minute walk away. Also a block away from Tonic, which is a great, cheap happy hour place for drinks, burgers, and tater tots. It seems pretty safe. Love the short walk to GW though (4 or 5 minutes).
