  • DO not live here

    May 7, 2024
    Do not live here. This apartment building will consistently lose your packages and in no way help to reimburse you. There are days when all the elevators are broken, leaving elderly residents stuck upstairs. This place is also infested with roaches. No matter how many times you request maintenance to spray and how perfectly clean you keep your apartment, there will constantly be roaches.
    Review from Apartments.com
  • Do not care to fix elevators for YEARS

    April 4, 2024
    Elevators always out of order! Minimal effort from management to properly get them fixed. I mean all of them. Huge building and all elevators out of order.
    Review from Apartments.com
  • Great property and staff.

    February 19, 2024
    I love the property, its amenities, and location. The engineering staff (Jon Geiser) and team have always been extremely responsive to my maintenance requests. The concierge team (Beth, Michael, and Brian) and the package room attendant (Michelle) have been wonderful too! The management team (Michael, Jared, and Jackie) were also very helpful when I had an issue with a missing package. Overall, I'm very happy to be living at The Berks!

    I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here at the Berkshire. The staff are always so friendly and helpful and I feel like this is a very close knit community. Having amenities included is definitely a huge bonus and it is the same price as university housing with more space and freedom. I would definitely recommend living here for students who study at AU such as myself

    Living at the Berkshire has been a good experience. The location is vary convenient for American University students, many of the residents are students. I love that there is on site laundry facilities and a gym. The staff is friendly and helpful. The building is well maintained and maintenance staff are quick and knowledgeable when issues arise. I love that water and electricity are included and that they offer a 6 month term.

    This building has a very bad pest control issue that has been ongoing. Despite multiple attempts, the problem has not been resolved and it unfortunately has led to damages and losses.

    It’s very convenient to get to American University, and I do like the free outdoor parking. Unfortunately, sometimes those at the front desk can be kinda rude and there were a lot of roaches in the past few months.

    The maintenance staff is great. The buildings is nice but some of the units have bug problems. Overall the building is quiet except for a couple of troublesome apartments. I wish I had more control over the temperature in the apartment

    Safe neighborhood but flooring is disgusting and apartments have bugs and rodents. Wanted to get certain things fixed and was told I would have to pay out of pocket even though it was within my first month. Asked to change apartment rooms and was told that would be extra and my credit will be run again for approval
