The trendy neighborhood of Shaw is fast becoming one of Washington, DC’s top neighborhoods. The neighborhood is the birthplace of jazz legend Duke Ellington, and the bars and nightclubs played host to names like Ella Fitzgerald, Cab Calloway, Marvin Gaye, and Pearl Bailey. The iconic Howard Theatre still draws some of the biggest names in music.
Shaw apartments are plentiful and living here provides easy access to some of DC’s top restaurants, such as Table, Habesha, Bistro Bohem, and Azi’s Café. Shaw borders Logan Circle, another of DC’s top neighborhoods, and it is directly south of Howard University. Shaw is a very pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with easy access to two Metro stations. It is home to some of DC’s trendiest boutiques, art galleries, and markets. The increased popularity of Shaw and the high demand for housing has led to an interesting blend of historic rowhouses and sleek, modern apartment towers.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at 801 R Street Apartments
Location is convenient but the place doesn’t have a fitness center as it states. Maintenance is slow to respond and the office is unprofessional.

I have lived in a 2br/1ba in Heritage at Shaw Station for 2 years and I absolutely loved it. I'm only moving now because I need a 1br and there are none available. In my opinion, the complex is in the best location in DC. It is directly across from the metro entrance, two blocks from a new Giant, one block from the new Shaw library, close 9:30 club and all the U St. bars/restaurants, and only about a 20 minute walk to the national mall. The complex is VERY reasonably priced for the area and the price INCLUDES parking. Plus, you can pay your rent with a credit card without a service fee so I was earning tons of credit card rewards during my time here. The apartments themselves are quite nice. The walls are very thick so you aren't listening to your neighbors conversations all day. The AC/heating is accessible via an online system so you can change it while you're at work. I've never run out of hot water, even when running the dishwasher and having 3 or 4 people shower. Jenny (the property manager) and Pedro (main maintenance guy) have been incredibly responsive to any issues. They take great care of the buildings. The cleaning crews come through every week day and they do complex-wide preventative pest treatments 4 times a year (in my time here I only saw two house centipedes, no other bugs). I can't recommend this place highly enough.
