Van Ness East
Favorites
The 12 stories tall Van Ness East Condominium (VNE) is wrapped on two sides by the valleys and woods of Rock Creek Park. Its grassy slopes on the east blend into the dense forests of Rock Creek Park whose flora and fauna frequently compel visitors to the building to stop, admire and click before departing. The only structure separating the north-side of the Condominium from the serene Soapstone Valley is its secluded swimming pool where residents can relax and listen to the sounds of the birds. The building's entrance to the south is located at the end of Van Ness Street, just one block away from Connecticut Avenue. Located to the east of the building, across from its front plaza, are VNE's neighbors - Van Ness South (a rental building), and Van Ness North (a coop). The 443 unit Condominium is comprised of a mix of efficiencies, one, two and three bedroom units. Some have balconies and patios. Van Ness East proudly boasts of having installed the largest residential solar energy system in the DC Metropolitan Area at no cost to VNE owners. Van Ness East is prized for its proximity to the Van Ness-UDC metro station (Red line), shops including Giant grocery, restaurants and the University of the District of Columbia - all located within a one-two minute walk. Building amenities include a front desk staffed 24-hours a day, a doorman at the lobby entrance, a party room, an exercise room, a library, onsite management, full service 24x7 concierge, copy and fax service, and in-unit maintenance services. There are also two outdoor swimming pools that open during Memorial Day weekend. The smaller pool closes during Labor Day weekend and the large one is opened two weeks beyond Labor Day. During the season, this pool opens early for lap swimming on weekdays.

Along Connecticut Avenue, a major commercial and transportation hub of Northwest D.C., lies the neighborhood of Forest Hills. Students from the University of District Columbia and the nearby American University infuses a college vibe into a neighborhood that also contains foreign embassies and their dignitaries.
The neighborhood lies a bit north from the main downtown area of D.C., yet the red metro line that runs along Connecticut Avenue makes this neighborhood ideal for those who want a little more peace and quiet after a day's work while still having prime access to all nightlife activities of downtown.

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.
