    I wanted to send a quick note of thanks to DJ For taking care of a few things happening in my apartment in a short amount of time! He is always quick to respond and make sure his projects get carried out all the way through. He is good about keeping me informed about how long something will take, when he will get to it, etc. I truly appreciate his communication and follow-through!

    I lived here from summer of 1968 to summer of 1969. I think my efficiency apartment was #607. It was on the opposite side from the church and overlooked a big, empty lot. It was called Hetherington House then. I loved the louvered screen doors and the big, walk-in closet. Miss Daisy worked on the front desk and Chappy was the mainteneance man. My rent was $110 a month.

    5/5 Bobbie J. on Aug 3, 2024

    I have ben living here for about 3 years and moved from the West Coast, so didn't see it before I came, but had a fantastic place upon arrival and have no plans to move, lololol. The staff is wonderful - management always pushes community as there are small networking events periodically throughout the year, if you want to know your neighbors. The location could not be better - Wharf and Navy Yard within minutes as well as the location for Safeway and Waterfront Station. I am really pleased living here - security is also 24 hours - love that!!!!

    I have lived in 1600 16th street for 18 months, and enjoyed my stay so far. I worked until 7 pm daily so the overall noise is only about the traffic on 16th street. The neighborhood is lively and energic.

    Could not have made a better choice with housing in Cleveland Park. The staff have gone out of their way to ensure a smooth move-in process, and even some of the residents have extended a a greeting or a helping hand. Very welcoming and safe feel to the place. Not to mention the ideal location!

    I have lived here for almost three years now. I love the property; it is clean, and well appointed, the staff are nice and friendly, and the units are big for a studio apt. I definitely would recommend living here to a friend, I love my unit and the apartment complex. It is close to shops, the metro, and grocery stores, as well as good restaurants in Cleveland Park.

    I've lived in twin oaks for 16 years. I moved out because i bought a condo. Living there has been a wonderful experience --the staff are friendly; maintenance timely, and while the neighborhood can be lively and loud, once you are inside you apartment, you can't hear anything your neighbors in their units. The location can't be beat either. I really missed the place.
