DO not live here
May 7, 2024Do 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, 2024Elevators 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, 2024I 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!Review from Apartments.com

January 18, 2024I 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 myselfReview from Apartments.com

January 15, 2024Living 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.Review from Apartments.com

January 6, 2024It’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.Review from Apartments.com

January 3, 2024The staff here has been very professional and gone above and beyond to make the move in process very easy for me. Maintenance was prompt after move -in as well.

December 29, 2023The 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 apartmentReview from Apartments.com

December 3, 2023Safe 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 approvalReview from Apartments.com
