Legendary Americans from Frederick Douglass to Woodrow Wilson have called Dupont Circle home at various points over the past two centuries, and it continues to be a highly desirable place to live. The historic architecture of the neighborhood (particularly in the Victorian-era rowhouses) contributes to a distinctly European flair in much of Dupont Circle. This, combined with the presence of numerous foreign embassies and countless international restaurants, creates an unparalleled cosmopolitan atmosphere.
The dining scene also includes a vast selection of more traditional eateries, low-key coffee shops, and convenient grocery stores, giving most folks the option to pick up a quick bite to eat or a week’s worth of necessities with ease. For off hours, museums and galleries are close at hand, and the eclectic nightlife offerings span from alternative rock venues to glitzy clubs to high-end cocktail bars.

Golden standard for luxury apartments in DC - amazing management team!
I've lived in DC over 12 years across multiple properties, and no other building even comes close to the quality of the Drake. The leasing and management team is PHENOMENAL. Without exception, they are the most professional, detail-oriented, and resident-centric management team I've ever interacted with; they consistently go above and beyond.

Good Service, Great location
Moved in almost 3 years ago when they opened. Brand new everything. The building management, leasing office, and general support staff have always been super friendly and helpful. Great location. Never had any major issues. Sad to leave, but I want a dog :-)

The Drake
Fancy-pants apartments in the heart of Dupont. Everything is beautiful and brand new. If it had a pool and lower rent, it would be a dream.
