Reviews of Archer Apartments

"Very safe and lots of new restaurants popping up! Also very dog friendly. Walking distance to Giant.".

"The neighborhood here is beautiful with lots of trees, places to walk, and access to the Georgetown waterfront. There are a lot of families that live here and elderly people so it's a little farther from some of the night life in D.C. but if you are willing to split a ride with friends or hop on the bus it is very doable. A note: although the neighborhood is pet friendly, the building does not allow pets. Overall, it's beautiful here and a nice escape from the craziness of law school life."

"Good community, excellent staff. I had only one problem, however, i’m happy with the resident and the fast response of the staff and maintenance when I ask for something."

"It was an amazing experience in the archer all this months. I hope to stay here more time and enjoy the community. Perfect location for the bus stop help me at the time I need to go out."

"So far, it’s been an easy move in with the staff and team of the management company very helpful, keeping on regular contact and asssiting with all issues that come up."

"Having lived in the building for just a few days, I wanted to rate my move-in experience. Everyone, from the desk to maintanence to residents were so helpful and friendly during the process. Moving is never easy, but everyone’s welcoming attitude made it a little bit easier."

"A good experience I love the facilities of the building, the attention they give us, the perfect location. good laundry area and gym. Personally, I would refer a friend to come to join the neighborhood community."

"The Archer is a great place to live. The community is very welcoming and the staff is very friendly. I just moved to DC, and feel right at home!"

"The building is well-maintained in a great location. Every interaction I've had with staff has been top notch. Move-in was not complicated, although the elevators are a little small if you have larger items."

Cathedral Heights apartment residents enjoy beautiful surroundings to call their home

Not only is the National Cathedral’s beautiful architecture and landscaping a focal point of the neighborhood, but the surrounding area features large trees and more spread out buildings than many other DC neighborhoods.

It’s a conveniently located neighborhood giving its community seamless access to a number of nearby areas. Just a short trip to historic Georgetown shopping and dining, and nearby to Cleveland Park, Tenleytown, Glover Park, it gives residents a lot of options for where they work and spend their free time.

Getting around the city is easier than ever in Cathedral Heights, Archer residents can reach the Tenleytown Metro station with just a short drive or bus ride. While it may not have the walkability of areas like Tenleytown or Columbia Heights, many DC residents think it is a welcome trade-off for what the neighborhood offers pleasant aesthetics and the quiet character of the neighborhood are things that many urban dwellers long for. Without being pushed all the way out to the suburbs and dealing with excessive DC traffic, you can still have a charming and neighborly place to call home.

Cathedral Heights isn’t lacking for things to do however, Wisconsin Ave to the East serves the neighborhood as a hub for dining and social activity. You can hop a few blocks over to enjoy the delightful cuisine, cocktails, or a game of pool when the mood strikes.

Overall Cathedral Heights is a gem of a neighborhood that provides a perfect nesting place for those who want a little less of the city, without completely missing out on all the exciting things that DC has to offer.
