One of the Best Apartment Buildings in Mount Vernon
I have been staying in the Algonquin Building for the past 7 years. Initially I was staying in the one bedroom floorplan before moving into the the two bedroom floor plan for the past two years. This building is a true gem! The apartments are gorgeous and kept their charm after the renovation the building went through before opening. Most of the original apartment layouts were kept intact, along with a wealth of historic interior details- fluted columns in the two bedroom apartments, cornices,... high ceilings, fireplace mantels and paneled doors and casings. Noise was never an issue although the building is fully occupied and the walls are very thick. The views are just magical (especially north and east facing units). The staff and the property manager are accommodating and responsive at all times and will respond to maintenance requests at anytime.
Working in Washington DC and commuting from Baltimore has never been easier, Penn station is only a ten minute walk and access to the I-95 and Parkway are within ten minutes by car. The building is also conveniently located near a grocery store, CVS, restaurants, amazing cocktail bars, and a local neighborhood wine store. It is also easy to find street parking and there are two lots that can be used behind the building with monthly subscription.
I have nothing bad to say about this building and will always cherish the memories I have spent here, it truly felt and feels like home. No regrets :)
