I am moving out of my apt at the end of the month. It really pains me to do so. This apt. is a gem for its location and price, but so it goes. You gotta move on sometime.
It's located right behind the zoo (not the Cleveland Park side, the other side facing Adams Mill Road. Rock Creek Park is about a two minute walk. So is the back entrance of the zoo.
Mt. Pleasant is about a 5 minute walk, Dupont is an 8 minute walk, Woodley Park is a 5 minute walk. It is also close to the red line (5 minute walk).
Details:
Rent is $700
You can hear the monkeys in the morning and sometimes the big cats at night
The chorus of insects at night from spring to autumn is amazing
Air conditioning/heat (Pepco bills are extremely cheap, about $20 a month)
The windows were just fixed so there are no air leaks
Washers/dryers inside the building
24 hour desk in lobby
Quiet residential area right off Columbia Road between 16th and Ontario Road
Quiet, friendly building
2 blocks from CVS, Safeway
4 blocks from 18th Street strip (bars, places to eat, clubs, etc)
The main issue I had with this apartment is you have a dinette kitchen, not a full kitchen. And the fridge is very small. Like, very. Aside from that it’s a good apartment with 2 closets plus a walk in closet.
If anyone around the DC area knows of someone who would be interested in the apartment kmail me. If anyone responds to this that is not connected to a Killoggs member, I will not respond.
