    Excelente apartamento, servicios, personal.

    5/5 Isabella F. on Apr 1, 2021

    Ive been living in the Buchanan for about 4 years now. When I was first looking for an apartment I knew I needed two things- location & closet space! I work in DC so this location is absolutely perfect, its as close as you can get to DC without it being DC. 10 minutes from Capital Hill and all the fabulous DC restaurants/shopping. Its so easy to grab an uber and go! What separates this place from others is the size of the apartments. At one point me and my husband debated moving just to change things up, but the size of the apartments/what you pay here blow everything else out of the water. Everyone who visits me is amazed at the space that I get, and they are always jealous! I promise you, they have the biggest closets, and as a shoe lover this was very important! Plus since everyone was/is working from home having space to "get away" is essential at this point! Maintanence is also very quick in responding to my work orders, ive never had an issue last longer than a day, nor have I have any major issues. Plus everyone is incredibly friendly! The Buchanan also has the best parking deals which separates this place from others. In addition to the street Parking there is a garage which allows for free parking during the day. Most places charge or only give one guest pass and its such a pain to deal with. Please never change this!! I refuse to visit my friends who's buildings require them to pay no matter what, plus this is why everyone comes here because its so great!!. Overall my husband and I love living here! We have never had an issue with anyone who works here. Everyone who works in the leasing office is fantastic and very personable. We plan on signing our lease again when it ends in 16 months!

    Things are much different in the midst of a pandemic but it seems our safety is a priority and even under mask I can still sense smiles. I am happy with the choice I made in making Crystal Plaza my home. The ability to get to the metro station underground, The morning coffee, The dog treats for the furry neighbors, laundry facilities, are just a few of my favorite perks so far. I can't wait for the pool to open and for my schedule to free up to allow me to use some of the other spaces. Huge shout out to Sandra for here help with Leasing virtually while I was out of state. She made this process so easy and we are grateful.

    4.5/5 Shiva B. on Feb 17, 2025

    I've been living in this apartment for almost two years, and it's been a great experience. The maintenance service is efficient, and the rooms are spacious. The amenities are well-maintained, and the staff is always helpful and professional. The location is excellent—it's easily accessible, with the metro and grocery stores nearby, making daily errands convenient. Overall, a great place to live!

    Pleasant and professional; the front office, the maintenance team, and concierge are wonderful. They treat you like family. The location is beautifully situated next to restaurants, Waterpark, and the entrance to mount Vernon trail. Not to mention located by the metro. The building is well kept and manicured and has amazing amenities. My husband and I truly love living here!
