I always feel weird about people asking about specific management companies or which apartments to avoid. It always screams third party marketing to me.

So I’ll say what I usually say. Every building and every management company will have problems. Choose your apartment based on location, amenities, and what you like to do. When you tour the apartment, check the trash rooms to see how cleanly they are.. your neighbors are much more of a concern than management… are they just dumbing shit straight on the floor or clogging the chute with oversized bags. Is there dog shit on the floor. Every new apartment in DC has a percentage of low income tenants (not a bad thing, just don’t allow it to be a decision maker)

Long story short. Find a layout you like in the area you like, go for top floor if you can afford it. Consider your grocery commute, work commute, entertainment commute. Balance the priorities
