Good price for the amount of space each apartment has. Older building but they are in the process of updating common spaces. Range of apartment styles and upgrades which impacts the price. Location is great with multiple modes of transportation and blue/yellow line only 5-10 min walk away

I found that this was an excellent location and the management staff at Crystal Plaza were attentive, accessible, and did their part to create an inclusive living environment. My commute to Georgetown would take approximately 30 min on public transit as I would take the Art43 bus to rosslyn and then the GUTS bus across the key bridge. Place was spacious and amenities both within and around the community were plentiful. I paid $1621 but I didn’t re-sign as prices went up and I had bought a place in May 2022, but it was still a fair deal. Would recommend and it’s easy access to DCA, VRE, Amtrak, 395 and Metro

Reviewed by McDonough MBA Student Nov. 16, 2022 1 bed / 1 bath Overall score ManagementI've been living in this apartment complex since 2016 and it was a great find. The staff is really personable and quick to help with any request you may have. The building is well kept and they are offering 1 month rent free currently with a waived amenity fee. I recently upgraded to a 1 BR (1000 sqft) and there are many units ranging from studios to 3 BRs to fit all needs.
The summer is great here since they have an awesome pool. Overall the amenities are what you'd expect from any building of this size. The location is decent, but there aren't many "Happy Hour" spots near by or places to go out at night. There are some good family owned restaurants nearby that are walkable, and there is a strip on Crystal Drive that has parks, and plenty of green space to enjoy. It's the perfect location if you value accessibility to places you want to go, but want to save on rent. I find myself ubering back from Georgetown after evening classes instead of using public transportation which will run about $10-$15 but it's an 8 minute drive.
In terms of getting into downtown DC, and other areas, here are some reference points.
Georgetown Main Campus (35 minutes - metro to GUTS Bus)
Old Town Alexandria (20 minute metro ride)
Rosslyn (20 minute metro ride)
Union Station (25 minute metro ride)
Reagan National (5 minutes)
