Living here is great. I really enjoy the building and its various amenities. I would love to continue living here for the long term. Great building!

Good overall, very hospitable, and very communicable in the correspondence and negotiable regarding the price and the actual lot of the apartment.

Not so great to live here anymore, it is unreasonably expensive, ancient appliances, the apartments look like you walked into the 1980s. They don’t fix anythIng even though if you report it broken or dirty. The amenities are out dated and out of order most of the time.

Mass Court is a great place to live! I enjoy living here. The staff are attentive and the gym downstairs is excellent. I would continue to live here so long as my life circumstances allow it.

I spent 4 months looking for an apartment in DC and Mass Court ended up winning because they gave me the most bang for my buck.

Yes you have: a year round semi-heated rooftop pool, Jacuzzi (also not that warm); a second rooftop with grills and seating areas, a 24hr business center with 4 computers, 2 printers (never working or out of paper) and a fax machine - local calls only; a tiny 24hr gym, yoga studio, a party room that includes a chef's kitchen and TV (for a $200 deposit) and a coffee... bar (that never is supplied).

But although the price is right, you pay for these in another way.....noise! Noise from the construction over the past two years; noise from the police cars, fire trucks, ambulances-we are along their main routes to/from their stations; noise from traffic not being able to figure out the newly redesigned streets and relocated ramp to 395 - hence LOTS of honking in confusion, blocking traffic and accidents; noise from the homeless that are having turf wars over the MANY corners from the MANY intersections of the newly redesigned streets. They freely and loudly yell at each other and block traffic.

Mass Court does have a website that you can submit maintenance requests, post items for sale in the community section. It also offers a pay online feature with an auto setup. If you can. Another feature which in theory is nice, but watch out! If you have 2 NSF s - no matter how far apart (like 18 months) - they take that feature away - FOREVER! No forgiveness, no "if you're good for x number of months" you get to use this feature again. Gone. Never to return. If you choose to use a credit card, there is a hefty surcharge (aka convenience fee and online web payment fee)!

Apartments come with a "full-size" washer and dryerstacked. And the setting for the dryer is so low, it takes several times to dry a "normal" load. When I moved in I had maintenance come and check it out and they said it was set correctly. :-(

I guess it comes down to what do you really need and what are you willing to sacrifice for it? Happy hunting! Read More
