Mount Vernon Plaza Apartments

I have lived in Mt Vernon Plaza for a year and it's almost too good to be true! The concierge desk is personable and maintenance requests are answered and resolved the next or same day. Everyone is so helpful! I am in a 2br/2ba and it's very spacious. There is a stacked washer/dryer in the unit along with a dishwasher - so convenient! Heat and AC are also controlled by each tenant which is the best because your apartment will always be the temperature you want. The building is conveniently located right by a CVS, grocery story and less than a 10-minute walk from every metro line and the Verizon Center. It also has a dog park right next to it! I can't stop raving about this place and I hope you have the opportunity to live here and see it for yourself!Read More

Mount Vernon Plaza's greatest feature is its location, situated at the nexus of some great DC neighborhoods (Mount Vernon, Logan Circle and Shaw. The building provides some amenities and the units are in decent shape (not new but certainly not in bad shape by any means). I would recommend this apartment to young professionals or small families looking for a good value, with no frills, but in a great location!

Mount Vernon Plaza is the place to be if you are looking for two bed room apartment. The two bedroom apartments are very spacious, the staff is friendly, and the residents are quite/friendly as well.

2BR/2 bath Apartment has two floors and a separate street entrance from the rest of the building, which is great. Downstairs bedroom is tiny, and the door to the 'courtyard' (pavers, rendering the space mostly useless) blocks off even more of the room. There is adequate storage space for such a small unit, but there is almost no natural light entering the space. In unit laundry is a plus. Management is sub-par, with no online services and limited office hours. Location overall is good, as it is close to other areas, but the immediate surrounding area (1-2 blocks) does not have an abundance of amenities.Read More

Mount Vernon plaza is a 8 story building comprised of one and two bedroom apartments, as well as townhouses. The location of the building is so convenient; walkable to almost every metro stop in central DC. Mount Vernon Plaza is close to the up and coming neighborhood, Shaw. The bars and restaurants have great happy hours and are seemingly less crowded than the more popular bars downtown. My roommate and I lived in a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment on the ground floor. The apartment is pretty cheap for the location. We also lucked out and had an outside balcony area. The community courtyard is right in the center of the building too, secluded from the outside world. If you step foot in this courtyard, perhaps to play softball or throw a frisbee around, prepare to get yelled at by management. Apparently this courtyard is just for show. The building entrance is guarded 24/7 by the most miserable of people. If you're lucky enough, one of the guards will be parked in your parking spot that you pay $195/month for because "their spot was taken." Picking up mail is like asking them to bend over backwards for a favor. But enough about them! I would give this place 5/5 stars for location, and literally zero stars if I could for everything else.Read More
