Great location + management

Great living here + maintenance requests are answered promptly + concierge is great.

In terms of amenities, the courtyard is a full city block, and that’s hard to beat.

Good for the price

For a studio in Mt. Vernon, it's a steal. However, the building is not as new as others in the area. It's a good trade off for price, since the building is new enough and in a great location.

Great price, medium apartment

It's great to be able to afford to live alone for a low price in a fairly pricey neighborhood. I haven't had any issues with the building itself. The main problem is amenity-envy of the buildings in the area with rooftop pools and brand new gyms. The location is great and it isn't too far to get to a metro station.

Love it here!

I love the apartment. It is a short bus ride away from campus on the Circulator or the metro, and is within walking distance from a lot of restaurants. Also, it is right above a 24/7 supermarket which is a huge bonus.

Great new neighborhood

There have been so many great restaurants and shops opening right below! I recently moved away, but as soon as I did many new places have opened up. I'm right back to that neighborhood every time I want a great cup of coffee or to workout! Highly recommend Mt. Vernon!

Happy to live here

I've been at Gables City Vista for less than a year but so far love my experience. The apartment is quick to respond to service requests and always lets you know when they've been in the apartment. My apartment is spacious and has lots of light, and is a good deal for this rapidly growing neighborhood.

Great location

The location of this building is great. There are many restaurants and a 24 hour grocery store right downstairs. There are also two metros nearby. The common spaces are very nice. There's a large, private courtyard. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious, but sometimes the layout and the placement of support columns is strange.

Great apartment, great location

As the owner of a 75 lb dog, my biggest concern in an apartment is that I can safely walk him at any hour of the day or night, and that he'll have enough space. This apartment building has that - plus great front desk people, proximity to both fast and nice eating options, and an easy commute to downtown.

Love my apartment

Modern apartments with fantastic amenities at a reasonable price (unheard of in DC). The location is pretty convenient and management has been reliable and easy to work with.

Gables City Vista

I moved to DC recently having only visited. I love my complex and the upscale amenities, including 24 hour concierge. It is in an "up and coming" area but I find it to be very convenient to get anywhere I need to go. Parking is available but for a hefty fee. It is pet friendly which was also important in my search. The management is speedy, communicative, and friendly.

Mount Vernon Square Reviews

40 reviews
The neighborhood is in easy walking distance to Shaw and is quiet enough without being isolated from the rest of the city. There's also easy access to every metro line and the circulator.
Up and coming with plenty of restaurants and other social needs
The neighborhood itself is very quiet, but it's really close to U Street and downtown. I walked to campus everyday and it was a lovely 25-minute walk past the White House. There's an awesome Mexican-Asian grocery store about 2 blocks away and a Giant about 20 minutes. There's a 24 hour CVS around the corner as well as a liquor store so basically everything you could want is in short walking distance.
Great neighborhood with a lot of new buildings and businesses. Easy walk to the metro or to bars and restaurants. It also doesn't hurt being on top of a 24 hour grocery store.
Restaurants, bars, grocery store, the BEST Ace hardware store ever, chipotle... all within a block! Metro access is great and you're walking distance to the national mall.
Close to downtown DC and main offices (walking distance to work), little or no noise in neighborhood, Safeway, CVS and restaurants nearby, 2 metro stations nearby.
Easy access to every metro line within 15min walk. Close to popular dining/bar areas, as well as downtown. Only 30min walk to the National Mall and monuments.
Still an neighborhood in transition, but in my immediate area there's a Safeway, Chipotle, Taylor Gourmet, Capital One, Sweetgreen, Ace Hardware, and more.
