    We love Ora! Our apartment is perfectly designed and filled with light. We are a family of two adults, one infant and a large poodle. The fact that we comfortably fit into a 1br den apartment testifies to how well designed our unit is. The building staff are great. We have had a few issues during move in, but when raised with the team, the issues were resolved (due to a bit of turnover in the leasing office). The staff are very friendly and extremely eager to help. Location is superb. ...
    Amenities are great. Excellent value. Best roof in DC.

    I really enjoy living here. Coming up on my 4th year and don’t have very many complaints. It’s a quiet building, and is very comfortable. Would recommend to anyone interested. Plus the rooftop view is one of a kind.

    The staff was helpful. However all the staff apart from concieege including leasing assistance should be informed of how to lock elavator and open the back doot. It was only person who knew and he was away when I came and I got panicked. But afterwards he was back and provided help.

    Staff are not motivated to help residents with their issues. I recently moved in, and my apartment has smelled like wet dog. The wifi in the lobby barely works. Cheap paint job throughout the building.

    Neighborhood and location are great. Maintenance is responsive. Common areas are well taken care of. Leasing office hasn’t been very consistent, with multiple personnel changes recently.

    The location is wonderful- very peaceful but also accessible to cafes, restaurants, shopping, etc and moving here has been a good experience so far. Amenities are good.

  • Terrible management team

    May 11, 2023
    Having lived at ORA for 3 years now, I have to strongly discourage anyone from moving here. Sure the view and location are very good but overpriced for the level of amenities you get. When I moved into the building the management was on point, excellent service and very polite. Now they simply could not care less, I have emailed the property manager on several occasions and still no answer. For over 13 month I've had a broken window and ORA has not being able/capable to fix it, although they are ...
    "aware and sorry". The Department of Buildings issued them a fine for a code violation and still they issue remains, yet the manager is nowhere to be found. I will avoid renting from another Gables property and suggest you do the same.
