The Verge
Rent Savings- Top rated for Amenities
- “I think the Verge is a great place with great amenities, maintenance and management. However I do think most of the issues come from tenants who don’t value the proposal as much as those who are full paying tenants. The mixture of working and non working people is a bit concerning, along with unattended minors in common areas”

Top neighborhoods in Washington
Columbia Heights
What it’s like to live in Columbia Heights
Cultural diversity thrives in Columbia Heights, where this central DC neighborhood showcases urban energy through authentic restaurants, markets, and community institutions. Rental options include both historic rowhouses and newer developments with varied price points throughout this walkable district. While the area offers exceptional access to both the Green/Yellow Metro lines and the developing 14th Street corridor, weekend crowds at Target and other popular retailers create temporary congestion affecting some streets. Perfect for urban enthusiasts who value genuine diversity beyond marketing-created "international" atmospheres in newer developments with more predictable community patterns.

What it’s like to live in Capitol Hill
Historic prestige defines Capitol Hill, where this distinguished DC neighborhood surrounds the U.S. Capitol with beautifully preserved architecture from various eras. Rental options include apartments in converted historic rowhouses and carriage houses with character details unavailable in newer construction. While the area offers exceptional access to both the Capitol complex and Eastern Market's weekend farmers market, rental rates rank among DC's highest with limited inventory creating extremely competitive application processes. Most suitable for congressional staffers, government professionals, and history enthusiasts who can justify premium rates for prestigious addresses and architectural significance despite urban parking challenges and premium pricing.

What it’s like to live in Trinidad - Langston
Rapid transformation defines Trinidad, where colorful row houses from the early 1900s now attract young professionals seeking more affordable alternatives to Capitol Hill. Residents enjoy the nearby H Street Corridor's vibrant nightlife and the NoMa district's urban amenities without the premium prices. Though the neighborhood continues its block-by-block revitalization with some areas showing more investment than others, the strong sense of community creates an inclusive atmosphere where new coffee shops exist alongside legacy corner stores serving multi-generational residents.
