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 Manager at Kensington Gate Apartments, Responded To This Review
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you consider our apartment community one of the best in Washington. It’s wonderful to know that our management team has been helpful and that you find the environment clean and mostly quiet.

The managers and maintenance men are absolutely amazing and will stop what they’re doing to help you. The only thing I’d advise is that you make sure to thoroughly check everything on the first inspection, because otherwise you will find issues that they’ll have to fix later/you’ll get charged for. Ultimately, I really like living here!
