The Lencshire House 3140 Wisconsin Avenue, Washington, District of Columbia 20016

"Debbie is one of the nicest, most understanding property managers there is. I was trying to move back into D.C. on short notice and as quickly as possible, and she helped me every step along the way to make it possible. Moreover, she is responsive, responsible, and all around awesome. In terms of the building, I never had any problems with pests (no mice, no cockroaches, nothing), and maintenance would always respond to my problems the day of. If you're looking for a place near the Cathedral on a bit of a tighter budget, I would 100% recommend."

"Very nice and in a nice area church across the street I didn't have no problem here live !"

"Considering the area, DCs outrageous renting prices and the transportation availability, the Lencshire House is about as good as you're going to get. I lived here for 5 years. There's only been one management change and they both were both always courteous. I never had any major issues and when I did they were addressed properly. I never saw a roach - but I keep a clean apartment and thought the janitorial staff was top notch. The area has banks, grocery stores, doctors and plenty of restaurants. My main reason for leaving was the rent going up each year - which is a DC issue. All in all, I was really happy here."

"This place is INFESTED with cockroaches, and the company does not keep its word to its residents. I lived here for over a year. This place is a bit cheaper than the rest of the apartments in the area, but you get far less than what you pay for. This building is literally infested with cockroaches. I was lucky if I did not kill a cockroach once a day. It was a terrible feeling to dread bringing over guests and have them see roaches in my home. It doesn't matter how clean of a home you keep, the building is overrun. In addition, you have to get everything in writing at this complex. Because I was not given access to the online payment portal when I moved in, my rent the first month was a day or two past the deadline. The then-property manager, Donna, assured me that she would have it taken off my bill. Months went past and I would email her about and and ask about it when I saw her in the building, and she would assure me in-person it just takes a long time to come off. Once the building switched property managers, I went to Terrance to ensure this would be taken off my account balance. Despite having emails to Donna clearly indicating the situation, she had only responded orally when I saw her daily and the company refused to honor the guarantees she gave me. The fact that this company would go back on the word of its own property managers to make a buck says a lot about the management here. If you're going to live here, ensure that all communication is in writing, as they do not have the integrity to keep their word otherwise. Finally, the residents here are certainly unusual for the area the building is in. At one point while living here someone was under house arrest, and police are frequently called to the building for disturbances. Overall, while some of the staff and residents are very kind, this building is scraping the bottom of the barrel in the area. In retrospect, it was absolutely worth another $75 a month to live in a nicer building in the area without cockroaches, where the management keeps its word, and where residents aren't assumed to be liars."

"Never ask questions from front desk !!!! She was so rude she didn’t let me ask one question"
