Can feel far from school but living arrangements are EXCELLENT!

The walk uphill from campus can be annoying, but having all utilities including internet included in the rent is awesome. The AC/heating system works great, water is always hot when I want it to be, and I've never seen mice or had a pest issue, which can be an issue I've heard in the nearby townhouses in Glover Park. The only caveat is wifi can be slow, but you can always pay $40 extra monthly for high speed internet through Comcast. I just go to Starbucks or stay on campus to study, but I do wish there was a cafe nearby that opened late. There's a small gym in the building, laundry is with a reloadable card, and there's indoor parking if you want to pay for it. The sundeck is awesome when the weather is nice, and has a great view of the entire city since the building's on top of a hill. Overall, you should live here if you're okay with not living right across from campus. There IS a shuttle you can take 4 minutes walking distance from the apartment.

Smoke friendly, slow internet, locked utilities

This place is smoke-friendly! In addition to having an ash tray at every entrance, they have an ash tray outside every elevator on every floor. People smoke outside my window all the time--especially at night. Management says "no smoking," but it's rarely enforced. So, if you are a smoker, or love smelling others smoke in the elevators and stairwells, then this place is for you.

However, if you are a student, then don't live here. The "free" internet is a waste of time because it is VERY SLOW (almost non-existent). You won't be able to watch lectures or simply do literature searches anytime after 5pm.

Finally, "utilities included" is a half-truth. They regulate when you are allowed to use heat or AC (no heat in the summer and no AC in the winter). Which sounds reasonable except during seasonal transitions when it may be hot and muggy outside, but all you can do is crank up the heat.

Could use an upgrade

The apartment and the building itself could use some upgrading. Hallways are a little dark but my studio is quite large and has great windows and sunlight. The neighborhood, Glover Park, has some useful amenities nearby but is not the most happening or active area of DC.

Experience

It's great the Carillon House is quiet so I can focus at home while I am studying. I wish the cost of laundry was not as expensive as it is right now. Even though the rent is somewhat high, it is still a nice apartment to live in. The internet is kind of slow, which is hard for when I study at home.

Great place to live, but few caveats

Carillon house is great! Staff is friendly and always helpful. However, even though it comes with Internet in your rent, it's terrible. As a student I couldn't deal, so I have to pay for my own. Lastly, there are very little parking spots which is hard. The waiting list is approximately 8 months. All in all, great place to live. They have awesome holidays parties also!!

Carillon House

I love this apartment building. The location is very convenient to school and Glover Park is a really cute area and is very safe. The downside is no convenient metro shop. The management here is nice but always the quickest to respond. The maintenance staff is very helpful and will fix any problem quickly.

Review

The apartment is pretty pricey, but that is to be expected living in DC. The apartment building itself is pretty nice and very well maintained. There is a large and clean laundry room with multiple washers and dryers, and nice gym on site, as well as a bike room. The property managers do a good job of hosting events for the apartment community.

Good place for a medical student

The management staff and facilities are very friendly. I haven't had any serious complaints in the last 12 mo. 20 min walk from med school, close to wholefoods and buses.

Glover Park Reviews

47 reviews
Upsides: Very quiet and calm environment. Nearby access to the D2 bus.
Downside: Distant from nightlife venues (Bars and restaurants)
Glover Park is pretty quiet and it's not on the Metro; however, it's super close to campus.
I love Glover Park. It is much more neighborhood than city. Wisconsin Ave has a good selection of restaurants and shops in walking distance. It's about a mile downhill to Georgetown University. Coming home, that mile is uphill! Decent bus service, no metro service at all. Uber has it covered very well.
Glover Park is an extremely safe area. It has tons of food options along with basically anything else you could need. The downside is it is not near any public transportation and the cost of living is veru high. It is extremely popular for young adults to move their after college graudation. Definitely a young, fun enviroment.
A more quiet part of the city. Quick commute to campus and the surrounding Georgetown neighborhood: walkable, by bike/scooter and shuttle. Some restaurants and shops nearby. Note with ongoing construction the Wisconsin Ave. shuttle drops riders off on the far side of the hospital, so plan for time to walk to class from there. This shuttle also operates for fewer hours than the other routes.
Safe area, walking distance to necessities, not a lot of noise, mix of young professionals right out of college and young families, decent amount of restaurants
Quiet, residential. Options available for social outings on Wisconsin Ave and close enough to conveniently get to Georgetown and Dupont.
Excellent neighborhood, quiet and close to short trail walks that take you directly into nature. Although there is no metro, there is a well-connected bus system. Trader Joe's and Safeway are both not too far and school is a good walk.
