I definitely recommend the Ellington. Located less than a block from the metro and on the 14th st corridor, it's amazing how many options there are right around the building. We've been here for 2 years in the smallest sized unit and have still lived...

If you want to live and be a part of the U St.... it's the place to be!

I visited The Ellington on Tuesday, and I must say, it’s a charming building. While I ultimately won’t be leasing due to the lack of a pool, I wanted to take a moment to recognize Tanisha for her outstanding tour. She was incredibly knowledgeable...

I had an incredibly troubling experience living at The Ellington under Lincoln Property Management now Bozzuto, and I strongly advise against renting here. The property management staff appear to monitor residents far beyond what is acceptable. They ...

Joe Li

Great location, very friendly staff. However, for about half a year now they have been renovating the elevators and there has been this constant, awful drilling sound for months now. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been woken up at 8am to th...

The Ellington is fantastic! Keveona at the front desk is lovely to chat with and is always there to help when I have questions.

The rooftop has had no lights for months, and one of us tripped over a turned over chair that was up there this evening while we were getting our phone flashlight out. This is a safety hazard. Fix the lights on the roof.

EDIT: The building management and staffing has come under a new management company recently (as of the end of 2024) so I don't know how much of my initial review will still apply. Fyi Moved in a about one and half months ago and have nothing but good...

The apartment and everyone working here are wonderful. The amenities are amazing, and U Street is a super fun place to live in your early 20s! We love living here.

I recently moved into The Ellington, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. Wynetta and Crystal in the leasing office made the entire process seamless and stress-free. From the initial tour to the final paperwork, they were incredibly h...

The Ellington is a great apartment complex! The management is organized and kind. The apartment is in well-kept condition and any problems are fixed quickly. The only issue is that it's very loud on U Street, so summertime can prove more difficult to...

Everyone at the Ellington has been so friendly and welcoming, and the leasing and maintenance offices have made the move-in process ridiculously easy. Highly recommend!

I love living here, beautiful building, great amenities, nice location. Office staff is professional and respectful, Wynnita & Crystal. The concierge Raven & the other nice female that usually works weekday evenings, & female with red hair are always...

It was great to move in and it was easy to get items from the concierge and move them to my apartment. They were also helping in explaining the area and where to go for a meal

Peter Munoz

The front desk staff is so welcoming and kind and the maintenance staff is great! Whenever I put in a maintenance request they’re super quick and fix the problem right away. Really friendly too:)

LUCAS HOLTZ

My roommate and I have lived here for over 3 years and love it! The management is very responsive, kind, and helpful with any/all issues. If there’s ever a maintenance issue the staff gets right on fixing it—they’re beyond the best I’ve exper...

We’ve had a great experience at The Ellington! The front desk, leasing office, and maintenance is kind and quick to help. We love the walkable location and safety within the building. It’s very noisy on weekends, but the perfect location for goin...

The Ellington has been an amazing building to live in. The staff is extremely attentive- our maintenance requests are addressed promptly, the staff at the front desk make us feel safe and welcomed, and Adam went above and beyond to help us when we ha...

I’m a new tenant. They made my move-in logistics really easy. The apartment is very nice. They are very responsive to tenant demands. Great experience so far!

The apartment building is kept clean, it’s dog friendly and it has great staff who take the time to get to know you. I am happy with this move and my dog is evening happier to have more friends to play with on our roof.

Great building with great staff. I feel safe here and it is also very welcoming. The apartments are really nice and new. Everyone in the building has been friendly and it has made my move to DC much easier!

Everyone at the Ellington is so kind and considerate. Neighbors say hi to each other. Staff makes an effort to get to know you and is so beyond helpful with every issue you have come up. I feel so welcomed already

Excellent move in. Very well organized and the freight elevator reservation made it quite easy to move in. Apartment was clean and well maintained with fresh paint

Ashley Hartwell

Recently moved into the building and am so far very impressed with the staff, shared facilities and attention to detail for maintenance requests. I was especially worried as I was moving from another state and was only able to do a virtual tour with ...

This building is very nice, social, and friendly. It can be a bit noisy on the U Street side of the building, but the quality of apartments and location are amazing.

Shawanda Robinson

The Ellington is a very nice property. I toured with my clients and Wynetta the Resident Manager. She was very friendly, professional and knowledgable about the community. My clients decided on another property however, I will certainly keep this in ...

Tiffany Patterson

The Ellington is a very beautiful property with professional office staff. I toured with the Resident Manager, Wynetta, who was very professional and helpful. She gave me that motherly feeling. I would recommend this property. Wish my company didn’...

I have just become a new resident at the Ellington and I’ve had a great experience so far. The paperwork process online was very simple and Wynetta was a great help.

Thus far I’ve enjoyed the apartment! A few maintenance issues when I moved in but they were resolved swiftly. The team on-site is helpful and kind.

Joe Miench

Great building and dog friendly community. The staff are all very friendly, welcoming, and experienced. Highly recommended.

I love the staff at the Ellington’s, the kept up of the cleaning, fast response of maintenance team.

The only issue is the extreme noise in the alley way adjacent to the building. I know it's outside of your control, but hopefully can report noise complaints, as there are RV crews that loiter around and blast music late into the evening.

The Ellington building itself is a great building with renovated units and a large rooftop patio area that has a designated for area. 4 grills on the roof make it great for the summer and the gym is well equipped and large. Main point for moving out ...

I have lived here for a year now and while the building itself is great and has tons of amenities, I am not renewing my lease due to the surrounding area. While it is known that U St is lively, there has been an increase in crime that has made me unc...

I called to asked for a leasing agent and was hung up on. Update: I originally gave a 1 star but fortunately I was called back and the situation was remedied. Thanks!

Cecelia Volker

The Ellington is a fabulous community to be a part of. The staff is warm and friendly, and always attentive and committed to helping with what I need. The location of the building is prime, right by the metro. While that causes some noise at night, t...

Location is extremely noisy, but to no fault of the apartment building

great building, great events, great staff!

Great building, friendly staff, amazing location

GRADE A location! Spacious units, at least mine is..... the full sun roof top and other special amenities are all top reasons to recommend. I haven't experienced living there full time quite yet (next week!), but I'm prepared to fall in love...

I think they are severely understaffed. It takes too long to complete a request, which is fair given that they are only two people. We need more maintenance people here.

yes

Jacob Vance

Tonight was so great! It’s events like the comedy show tonight on the rooftop by Four Corners Entertainment that make me want to keep living here. If you like having a good time and meeting cool neighbors- move in here immediately! Thank you Managm...

Jack Creagmile

Comedy show tonight was awesome! Great to be at a spot that organizes fun events for residents 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Margaret Martinez

Awesome event with Four Corners Entertainment- 11 great comedians and delicious cocktails! This is why I love living at the Ellington!

Collin Engels

Comedy show was lit. Fun stuff like this makes me want to stay here forever <3

Maria Arrazola

I love the Ellington - the comedy show was a great way to hang out with our neighbors and get a laugh midweek

Uva Dayalan

I am very disappointed with the leasing office at the Ellington. To start, I was able to easily schedule an in-person tour on the website and was warmly welcomed into the building and given a full tour by Troy, who was entirely pleasant and very help...

Friendly professionals and quick response, but no resolution or follow-up.

Ashley Lee

I'm so disappointed with this place. First of all if you are considering moving here, don't. It is completely over priced and they will say that you aren't going to find space like this in the area for the price. The price you're paying for the fact ...

To be frank, I would have highly recommended this apartment and community before Lincoln came on board, but due to the issues I faced, I would say I recommend it given some improvements that have happened in the last 3 months.

I would recommend it for the location and friendly staff. Being in a newly renovated unit, I would have expected less issues with the washer/ dryer.

Staff was very friendly and attentive to needs. However, unfortunately all my requests were not met.

Victoria Sylos-Labini

Great location, amenities and staff. The property management personnel are very helpful, friendly, and work around the clock to make sure the building is run well and that residents are happy. They are now working on renovating the amenities, which I...

Elena Ross

The Ellington is a wonderful place to live! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Would - amenities, monthly breakfast on the first of the month, little events held by the old manager Bradley to help foster community, Alfred included, workout classes, clean Wouldn'??t - you guys got rid of all of the old front desk staff who we kn...

I have really enjoyed living at the Ellington. Its the perfect location and has amazing amenities. I think it has been a tough couple of months though with the ownership transition as we now have new employees and are not sure who to reach out to wit...

It is an excellent location and I do feel safe in this building, but it is extremely loud and not as high quality since the change in management.

I like the apartment a lot, and it's in a great location. My main reason for not scoring higher is because we've just gone through a transition to the new property management company and so can't respond positive or negative.

I love the Ellington. I just have noticed some changes in the changeover from one property management company to another, so I am a little apprehensive, but eager to find out more.

The location, building, and apartments are nice. The kinks with new management will hopefully be worked out soon. I do NOT understand why there are not cushions on the roof, and why 2/3 of the grills don't work on the roof. To me, that is unacceptabl...

It's too expensive. I didn't like the way our lease renewal was handled.

I would recommend it for those who want a managed building experience that's operational and not to be bother. I would not recommend it for people who are looking for community or friends. I'd recommend more community social events for people in the ...

Overall, location is great and the rent is reasonable for the amenities.

I have lived in the Ellington for almost 3 years - which should tell you how much I've enjoyed the building in a very competitive DC housing market. It's conveniently located on 13&U, and is within 2 blocks of basically anything you need (metro, post...

Sad... U st has become home to so many overpiad yuppie transplants....still its a beautiful building.

The Ellington is an amazing place to live - I have loved every minute of it! Cherie at the concierge desk is always so helpful and welcoming every time I come home. Mike is also extremely accommodating, and even once stopped what he was doing to help...

It took me a week of calling repeatedly to get in touch with someone. They claim to be a pet friendly building. I have a none aggressive breed of dog (pyrenees) but said it wasn't allowed.

The Ellington is an amazing place to live. I am very sad to have to move out. Ever since moving in the building has felt like home. The staff is very helpful and made the move in process so easy. The apartments themselves are very nice and in a great...

I moved into The Ellington at the end of July and it has been a simply wonderful experience for the following reasons: 1) The staff is EXTREMELY friendly and they know you by name! The front door attendant always says hi when I walk in which gives it...

This is a great building if you want easy access to the metro (less than a full block from the U St. Green Line stop), a fantastic and expansive rooftop, and other amenities such as a gym and party room. Other good features include a knowledgeable an...

The Ellington is a great apartment building. Door staff is extremely friendly. Roof provides an amazing view of DC and was recently redone.

The Ellington is a beautiful building with a 24-hour front desk, gym, free exercise classes, and occasionally free breakfast. Its location on U street cannot be beat. The only issue is that the area can be dangerous at night so you must be vigilant.

I've lived at the Ellington for three years now, first in an apartment facing U Street, and now in an apartment facing the back of the building. I will say that apartments facing U street can get a bit noisy, but the back side of the building (facing...

No real complaints about the building. The roof deck is the best part. My unit faces U st so if you don't like noise, this could be a problem as it tends to get very loud especially on weekend nights. Bozzuto is notoriously strict with not allowing a...
