Northwood Garden Washington DC Apartments – One of The Best DC Apartments
Northwood Gardens was BY FAR one of the best all-around apartments I looked at in DC. I have to say I was really impressed! I’m usually very critical, but I had very few issues with this complex. The floor plans are decent and there are a lot closets. It’s right behind the Fort Totten Metro and in a generally safe neighborhood. The entry is secure and there weren’t a bunch of people just standing around the complex. All utilities are included in the rent and a 2BR apartment will run you a bout $975 a month ($850 or so for a 1BR depending on size, specia ls, etc). There are also seasoned specials (i.e. 1st month free, half of f deposits) The closest major cross streets are Crittenden and Farragut and the Lamont Riggs neighborhood has some of the most beautiful homes. It looks like a wonderful place to go jogging.
One downside is that the entire complex is managed by one person. She’s really nice, but she also stays REALLY busy. I went on a tour of 4 different layouts (two 1BR and two 2BR) and during that time she was stopped by residents 3 times. That did show that she knew the residents which is a good thing. She knew the tenants by first name. There are also hardwood floors in the apartments. I prefer carpet, but that’s just me. (the floors looked relatively new by the way)
The kitchen had all new appliances and the bathroom looked like the sink and tub had recently been installed. A lot of apartments in this price ran ge are dirty or small, but Northwood Gardens defies that stereotype. Each bedroom has a nice sized window. There was no window in the kitchen and the window in one of the rooms I looked out was over the dumpster, but that is totally worth what you’re getting. I’d give this complex 9.5/10.
