    • Golden standard for luxury apartments in DC - amazing management team!

      December 20, 2022
      I've lived in DC over 12 years across multiple properties, and no other building even comes close to the quality of the Drake. The leasing and management team is PHENOMENAL. Without exception, they are the most professional, detail-oriented, and resident-centric management team I've ever interacted with; they consistently go above and beyond.
      Review from Apartments.com
    • Good Service, Great location

      July 23, 2017
      Moved in almost 3 years ago when they opened. Brand new everything. The building management, leasing office, and general support staff have always been super friendly and helpful. Great location. Never had any major issues. Sad to leave, but I want a dog :-)

      Fancy-pants apartments in the heart of Dupont. Everything is beautiful and brand new. If it had a pool and lower rent, it would be a dream.
