Neighborhood

This isn't Takoma Park. Sure, the name is similar, but the difference is key: Takoma is a neighborhood in DC. Tacoma Park is a city in Maryland. And while they share a border -- Eastern Avenue Is all that separates one from the other -- Takoma residents don't appreciate being confused with their neighbor. Takoma began as DC's first suburb in 1883. Back then, this railroad community was advertised as having "no malaria, pure air, and delightful shade." Today, it is still considered a healthy neighborhood, known for its vegan restaurants and walkable streets.

Takoma is about six miles north of Downtown Washington DC and is well-known for its healthy living initiatives. The homes in the area were built around 1920 and tend to have larger yards and more trees than other metro neighborhoods. Prices tend to be slightly lower in Takoma, which makes this area very popular.

The neighborhood is very quaint. The people are very welcoming. The staff is supportive. Parking is difficult. I have noticed that some time packages are left in the entryway where anyone could access them. This isn’t the apartment’s fault but it is a concern.

Its been a rough almost 2 years with all the problems old mangement hasn't resolved. Looking forward to seeing changes. The gym equipent is either not working, and/or built wrong. The garage door in the back is never down and anyone can get into our building that way. Especially because the lock to the door to the patio is broken. Not to mention the fire pit never works and the furniture is old and smelly

When requesting a work order, maintenance is very quick to respond and complete orders in the apartment. Allen in maintenance is amazing!

DO NOT RENT HERE

I have never witnessed an apartment building decline in quality so quickly. It wasn’t exactly 5 star previously but with a recent change in management to Cushman & Wakefield, things have really gone downhill. Public areas look beat. Smell of cigarette smoke in the stairwells and sometimes hallways, even though it’s a nonsmoking building. Shady folks in the lobby in the evening asking residents to fob the elevator call button or pushing their way in, and the police have been spotted in the lobby or hallway on numerous occasions dealing with domestic disputes. Gym equipment never repaired; Packages routinely stolen or misdelivered and never returned. Dogs barking aggressively and loudly for hours so you can’t find peace even in your own apartment. And management doesn’t seem to be doing anything to turn it around.

4/3/23
Off to a terrible start

Made an appointment to see the apartments. No one showed up. Waited 30 mins. There were 3 other people waiting for them also. So if it is like this as a prospective tenant, I can't imagine living here and having a problem.

11/30/22
New management company is unresponsive to many issues

Management is unresponsive to maintenance requests. Also after nearly 6 weeks they still have not fixed of broken trash room chute allowing garbage to accumulate on the floor of the room. This is an unsanitary conditions and is causing a bad odor in the hall. Also after almost 6 weeks they still have not sent out updated tenant bills for rent and utilities.The garage door was broken for over a week which led many of us to worry about security. There is a new tenants association which may help but this new company has a long way to go to making Takoma Central the wonderful place it could be.

New building feel but cheap appliances

On the surface Takoma Central seems modern and sleek however there are a few complaints about the appliances. First all the air conditioners are very loud. We thought it was just our unit but when looked into switching units we found the other unit had very loud ACs as well. Other things to check are our dishwasher was not installed probably and sticks out from the counter. The W/D is super hard on your clothes. The cold water option is not cold and your clothes get very twisted and tied together. Our oven has to be set between 60 - 70 degrees over the what the recipe calls for. The building staff has good intentions but it takes forever to get their attention. In conclusion, if you are touring the building and are like this is nice and price is really reasonable. Yes that is true but you soon see why just a little under the surface.

Takoma Central is beautiful, well kept, in a great location! The staff is all very friendly, and the apartments themselves are modern and cute. The leasing office can be difficult to reach sometimes, but that is my only complaint!

Takoma Central is a wonderful building. It is in a great location with the metro across the street, restaurants, coffee shops and dog park nearby. Minutes to downtown. The apartment is all up to date with a very modern appearance. Very welcoming community and super dog friendly. Also Management, has been very helpful and informative during my whole process. Gabriel is very responsive to emails and has made my transition very easy. All in All, highly recommend living at Takoma Central.

I have lived at Takoma Central for 2 years and have enjoyed the experience. The building is well kept and in an ideal location for city living. I moved to DC to be closer to work and haven't regretted it.

I love living here

The location is very convenient with the metro being feet away. The floor plans make sense. The office staff is very helpful and friendly. The amenities are also pretty cool with a business center and gym and the building is connected to a restaurant so you don’t even have to go outside to grab food!

For When You Want to (Technically) Live in DC

This is a good building, nothing spectacular but worth the price. Two blocks from the metro (20min to downtown and more importantly 10min to U Street), good appliances, nice bathrooms and helpful office staff who are there 7 days a week. There's a gym that I'm too lazy to use (but I hear is nice), a lounge and patio with grills that can be reserved and an automated package system so you don't have to wait for someone to be in the office. The neighborhood is fantastic. Food trucks across the street every Friday, farmer's market 2 blocks away every Sunday, several nice restaurants and a great coffee shop. If you want a nice place that's not backbreakingly expensive, but don't want to live in Maryland or Virginia, you could do a lot worse.
