Gables City Vista Apartments

Maintenance and the people have been nice.The units have not been updated to match design and color standards of today but overall they are fine. I will say the building has a constant humming frequency sound that could drive someone crazy as the noise can be heard from your unit so I would warn people off of that. Also the windows do not seem to get cleaned. I think if you are willing to pay the price for this building it’s probably better to keep looking around

The Gables building is a perfectly nice place to live (although likely overpriced even for the area), and maintenance is always speedy.

Dealing with the leasing office is a nightmare. For our first lease, despite our multiple follow ups, they did not send us a lease to sign until the day before we were supposed to move in. No one in the office ever responded to our emails.

This happened again when we renewed the lease. We told the office we wanted to renew 2 months before the lease was up.... They waited weeks to tell us we had to reapply. They admitted to us they forgot for weeks to process our application. We called & emailed weekly to try to get updates. They either did not respond or did not take any action. When we still hadn't received a new lease 4 days before our lease was over, we looped in the regional manager and finally got a new lease to sign 2 days before our current lease expired. Even then, Gables did not seem very sympathetic about the whole stressful experience. Read More

Leasing office is terrible. Amenities need to actually exist. Only a gym and a small part room. Repairs work very well. Safety in the area is an issue.

My husband and I have been verbally assaulted multiple times in this building( 460 L Street NW)by people sneaking into the building. We have witness drug deals, assaults, roaches, alarms, you name it, Gables City Vista has it.

We have attempted to work with the building to deal with roaches as new people moved in around us and suddenly we had a problem. Management won't do a thing.

The location is great and the people in reception are friendly and always ready to offer help. It’s been a great experience for me these first six months.
