DC NoMa Apartment Recs!
(Please let me know if this is the appropriate place to post)
Hi ya'll! I'm planning on moving to the Union Market area and have finalized the search to The Gantry, The Batley, and Ledger. Does anyone have any experience living at any of these places or any other ones in the area that I may be overlooking? Very curious as to how loud the train and foot traffic is in the area. I did tours at all three and these are my impressions so far:
The Gantry
Very amenity focused and the more "luxurious" of the three. Available units face the tracks and high foot traffic areas so concerned about how loud that may be at lower floors. They said the windows are "double paned" and I didn't hear too much from outside during the tour, but did not hear the infamous horns from the train that people speak of.
The Batley
Nice amenities (pool, coworking space, etc.), staff was nice, and closer to Union Market food hall. No actual issues with place, but a little pricier with some units compared to the others
Ledger
Furthest from the NoMa station than all 3. Very spacious (which is what I'm leaning toward), cheaper than all the others, but the least amount of amenities than the others (no pool, small cowering space).
