It consisted of basic items, hand soap, paper towels, etc - but it made me think these guys went the extra mile to welcome me. The aspect I love the most is the events the building hosts. It provides a medium for community engagement. The rooftop has a breathtaking view of the city, wireless access, a club room with a tv and mini-bar, two grills, patio furniture, and a gym! There is also a business center in the lobby. The location speaks for itself - you are living in the heart of DC's nightlife. Trader Joe's is directly across the street. A couple dry cleaners are nearby. The U Street Metro is 2 blocks. So far, these guys have hit a grand slam with the place.

He just moved out after nearly 5 years there, and I have nothing but good things to say about his experience. His studio apartment was perfect for a college kid's needs, and anytime there were maintenance issues they were promptly addressed. He didn't have to worry about anything. The most important aspect of his stay there, though, was the staff. From George, who we helped us choose a unit and set up the lease, to the front door staff--especially Walter (who my son grew to love and will miss)--everyone went above and beyond to be welcoming and helpful, not just to my son but to my husband and me when we would visit. Even during move out this was the case (special mention again to Walter for his help--you are an angel!). Any GW parents looking into Hamilton House for their student: this is a really great option for off campus housing. It's quiet, safe, and the building is managed well. Can't recommend highly enough!

We were even told they would refuse to lower our rent or make any concession so don't even try.

I've been exploring places to live around the city and recently toured The Mo. Booking a tour was…read moresuper easy, and I really appreciated the flexibility of the self-guided option--it let me move at my own pace and follow up with the leasing team later with questions, which they were responsive and helpful about. The building itself is nice, with solid amenities and a clean, modern feel. That said, after comparing price per square foot and finishes with other nearby buildings, I ultimately decided it wasn't the right fit for me. There's a lot of competition in the area, but The Mo could be a great option depending on what you're looking for. I'd definitely recommend checking it out and seeing how it stacks up for you.

If you're looking for a DC apartment, look no further. I have been lucky to call Camden Roosevelt…read morehome for 2 years & it has been exactly that - home. The majority of team members have been with the building for years and from the front desk team (Freddie, Caroline, Elizabeth, Ruth) to the leasing office (Jessica, Davida, Johanna) to the maintenance duo (Nirso and Luis), you are in great hands. Any concerns/questions that may arise are addressed quickly and repairs are made quickly. The team really goes out of their way to make sure you are taken care of. The location can't be beat - right at the bottom of Meridian hill and a short walk to 14th&U. The building itself is beautiful and unlike most newer DC apartments, it is not cheaply constructed. Units are thoughtfully laid out and the walls are thick. I had no issues with sound from neighbors through walls, from the resident above me, or from 16th street. While it may not have as many amenities as other DC buildings, the gym is fantastic and the lack of a rooftop is made up for it with unbelievable management and a community atmosphere amongst many residents. It is a building where you will know some of your neighbors...especially if you have a dog! I could not recommend Camden Roosevelt more than I do!

After reading some of the filtered comments and checking out the "Camden Deception" website, I felt…read morethe need to show my support for the Camden Roosevelt. (And I actually live here.) You are not going to get a better apartment complex in the U Street area for the price. Beautiful lobby with piano, water each afternoon, free coffee and tea in the morning, a huge gym with sauna, steam room, rock climbing wall, free weights, and numerous exercise machines (definitely the best in-house gym I've ever seen). The amenities fee is well worth it, especially considering how much people in this city spend on a gym every month. And I LOVE the wine cellar! Perfect for my collection; they keep it at a nice cold 45-50 degrees. The meeting room space is available for FREE to anyone who wants to rent it out for a party (there is a security deposit, but you get it back as long as there are no damages). Have you ever tried to rent out a bar/meeting room in DC for a party? It's an insanely expensive fee, plus a food and beverage minimum. This is a great deal for Camden residents. There's a board room-style meeting room with a long table and sixteen chairs, plus two living-room areas with a flat-screen television, bar (I had to laugh when a Yelp commentator complained that there was nothing to eat and drink in the bar ... hello?! It's not your house!), and pool table. The parties have never been a disturbance since they're on the first floor and a huge lobby, plus a set of stairs separate it from the apartments on that floor. My apartment on the 8th floor is incredibly spacious with high ceilings, crown molding, lots of windows, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a very spacious kitchen with new appliances. It's a great deal for the high-priced area that is U Street. And the park! Meridian Hill Park, right next door, is BEAUTIFUL. There's tons of joggers, soccer players, picnickers, and all kinds of great people enjoying the park and the pretty fountains during the day. Yes, they say don't walk around the park at night, it's not safe. That's just good sense for lots of areas in DC. Hello, you live in the CITY! Don't walk around in unsafe places at night. And you just can't beat the location. The Camden Roosevelt is close to U Street, Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, and Columbia Heights. Everything is a short 5 to 15 minute walk away. I'm bothered by some of the claims on the "Camden Deception" website. At least for me, they were very clear and upfront about the fees, and they all make sense. You know up front about the cable fee, paying for water, and paying for electricity. And if you're not sure, ASK! No one is forcing you to sign a lease. I'd sure as hell notice if I was forced to pay $500+ up front without knowing what it was. I wouldn't sign the lease and then claim I "didn't know." Since moving here in February, only once has one of the two elevators been broken (come on folks, sometimes an elevator breaks down once in a while). I was here on March 26, 2010, and I don't remember seeing both elevators down that day. And hell, what's wrong with walking up a few flights of stairs once a year? Maybe you need the exercise! Also, never had a problem with heating and AC. If I ever had any maintenance problems, one quick call is made in the morning, and by the afternoon, it's fixed. Oh, and that fee you pay if you turn in your rent late? Jeez, folks, pay your rent on time! I travel constantly and am always sure to turn in my rent early if I know I'm going to be out of town. "Forgetting" to pay rent is no excuse. You pay the price when you turn in your rent late. Complaining about having to pay a fee for turning in your rent late when you should've turned it in on time is no one's fault but your own. Sorry for the incredibly long post, but I felt the need to address some of these "complaints" on the Deception website and other comments. I've lived in several apartment buildings in the DC/VA/MD area over five years, and nothing's better than the Camden Roosevelt. It doesn't claim to be absolutely perfect, and to complain about such minor problems is ridiculous.

Also, security is really non existent--even the basics of a secured front door is an ongoing issue, and it should be mentioned there is no physical security presence on the property. There have been some very unsettling issues in the past few years that make me question my residency--the staff requiring an id to workout and then losing it/denying window screens despite crows flying around courtyard/smoking and the smell of smoke throughout building/adding parking to rent multiple times over several years despite repeated reminders that I don't have a vehicle. The roof is nice and the gym is very basic and small, often with dated and broken equipment. Concierge and maintenance team make this place likable. As an update, I was penalized for using the term troll to report food and trash being left piled on the roof overnight. Forget that the place is constantly messy or smelly, I hurt someone's feelings who is trashing the building. Congrats, Camden!
