Good Location No Frills

Location is perfect. Besides the landlord and the occasional noise no real issue . Great temporary living environment if you are in transition and you don't need a vehicle. Landlord is nice but she can be a bit invasive. She means well but might be a cultural barrier

Good Loaction

Apartment has potential but the landlord decides when she wants to to come in and out the apartment and when she lives there and doesn't. The room is clean and shared spaces are in decent shape. Building is quite and safe. Very good for transitional housing.

Reviewed by Howard Med Student living at The Fedora
So far, I love living in columbia heights. I live at the southern-most part, so I'm in walking distance to many neighborhoods (logan circle, adams morgan, shaw). There are many restaurants, shops, and bars that are close by. I also love living so close to the college of medicine. I ride my bike everyday and it only takes me 5 minutes each way.

I love this neighborhood, there are grocery stores and a Target in walking distance, as well as tons of locally owned restaurants and bars. It's also close to Rock Creek Park. There are three farmers markets within walking distance.

I love this neighborhood. Shopping, such as Target and Best Buy, is easily accessible. There are great restaurants featuring diverse food options. The neighborhood itself is very diverse, with a large Latino population and a mix of other races and ethnicities as well. There's a wonderful farmer's market on Saturday mornings. Meridian Hill, or Malcolm X Park, is nearby. Other neighborhoods with great bars and restaurants are within walking distance, including Petworth/Park View and the U Street Corridor. The metro ride to American University is quite long; I'd recommend taking a bus to Tenleytown and then taking the AU bus to campus.

Regarding neighborhood safety, there are occasionally shootings unfortunately. I have never personally felt unsafe even at night, but realize others might feel so.

I love Columbia Heights! I'm two blocks off of 14th Street where transit (yellow/green) and stores are, including Giant, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, and several eateries! It's also a quick walk to AdMo and U Street corridor.
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Warder Mansion
Easy access to Malcolm X/Meridian Hill Park. Most restaurants are a 10-15 minute walk away. Metro does not give easy access to GW, it is faster to bike
Reviewed by AmericanU Graduate Student living at Highland Park at Columbia Heights
Columbia Heights is busy and stays busy. People from across the district come here for Target which can be a stressor when walking the surrounding streets. There has been an uptick in crimes over the past year, which is something to consider if moving to the neighborhood. However, I love the convenience of stores and restaurants in the area and the proximity to the metro.

This is a central area when it comes to food, fun, and people!
Reviewed by Washington DC Resident living at Adams Court Condominiums
Great neighborhood for being close to Howard but slightly away at the same time (different vibe). Lots of restaurants and chill bars around plus (and more importantly), lots of grocery stores, gym, etc.

If you value quiet, try to go a block or two away from 14th street (which is a popular artery for fire engines / ambulances / police cars - i.e. lot of sirens).

Con: Increasing amounts of gentrification in this neighborhood is increasing rent prices
