I'm relocating for a job at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and want to live in Navy Yard, the Wharf or Old Town. The commute matters to me, so I am open to recommendations.
Must-haves: 1BR, a real walk-out balcony (not Juliet), a kitchen island, and as much natural light as possible. Move-in is mid-November to mid-December, and I'm flexible on rent but not paying for a penthouse.
I went through the floor plans on each building's own site. These three passed:
- The Tides (Wharf): 728 sq ft, $2,944.
- Meridian 2250 (Eisenhower Station): 787 sq ft, $2,996.
- CityHouse Old Town: 837 sq ft, $3,195.
The ones I ruled out: The Garrett (too industrial for me), Riverpoint (no real island), and Bell Old Town (no island).
Questions for people who live in or have toured these:
- How is the Eisenhower Station commute across the Wilson Bridge to Anacostia-Bolling?
- Anything I should know about management, noise or move-in fees at any of these?
- Are there Navy Yard or Wharf buildings with a real balcony and island that I missed? The newer
buildings' sites were hard to read.
Thanks!
