Great place to live

Ora is the best apartment complex I have ever lived in. Peaceful, quiet, safe, and well-thought out. Such an upgrade from other places!

Great Apartment, Great Building

Great apartment, great building. The general manager, Raashir, has gone out of her way to help us settle into our apartment and to address small details. Building is in excellent condition and always spotless, and roof deck is best in DC.

Peace at last!

Been living here for a few months now, I was searching for a cozy, peaceful, and quiet corner of DC - Ora is all three. Reasonably priced for this exorbitantly-high CoL city, well-designed units, quality appliances, I can hardly hear my neighbors... you won't regret moving here!

Review

Have enjoyed living here for years. Have noticed that it can be very transitional. In addition, smoking and marijuana smoking has become an issue as of late. there doesn't seem to be any hurry to address it other than sending out the occasional reminder email. Look forward to enjoying more years here...
