The L

My boyfriend and I moved in here in November, wanting to be close to Union Station (he commutes for work) and a GU bus stop (so I can get to/from Georgetown when classes are in person). The Mt. Vernon Square area is a great location - lots of restaurants and places to walk, close to downtown, the White House and the mall, but still feels like its own neighborhood. The L is a condo building so the people living here are a mix of owners and renters (really diverse). The facilities are all clean, the building is quiet and lots of people have cute dogs. Parking garage is attached so you don't have to go outside to get in/out.

Quiet place to live near Chinatown

Great place. Quiet, but still close to Chinatown which has lots of things to do. Quick bus ride to GW campus.

Wonderful building that is well maintained and centrally located to Chinatown and the Convention Center. Building is always clean and the owners committee is very active. Front desk staff are helpful and consistent. Easy access to high end gym, restaurants, and grocery store.

Safe building in new neighborhood

Great building in Mt Vernon triangle area - close to Chinatown metro and all the restaurants and stores in that area. Building is very quiet. One acre green space with grills and lounge chairs is great for an outdoor space during the warmer months. Lots of nearby coffeeshops.

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.
Reviewed by Washington DC Resident living at Meridian at Mount Vernon Triangle
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.
