2M Street Apartments

The day time concierge is beyond rude!!nDoes not acknowledge guest coming into the building! Very distracted by side conversations with the police officer???? Doesn’t represent the brand well....Doesn’t seem inviting or welcoming. at all! A few times I’ve waited multiple minutes at the door while she is “putting up packages” acting distracted......SMH such a shame

I moved into 2 M St. five months ago and couldn’t be happier. The building is well kept and clean, the leasing staff was incredibly helpful and responsive before my move in, and the front desk staff is always helpful and friendly.

I lived at 2M for three years. Overall, the building is mostly good. The prices there are probably the best for the neighborhood while still getting good amenities as well as a great location.nnThe Good: For me, the best part was the maintenance and custodial staff of the building. They cleaned all of the public spaces every day and always addressed any maintenance requests I had within 24 hours. More often than not, if I entered a maintenance request in the morning, someone would be there by the afternoon. The building is very pet friendly, includes a dog park, and does not charge pet rent. Other amenities (pool, rooftop, lounges, free coffee, peloton bikes) were great too. The location can't be beat: right next to Streets Market and Harris Teeter, 15 minute walk to Trader Joe's and Union Market, 15 minute walk to the Captiol building, 15 minute walk to H street.nnSome considerations I wish I knew moving in: If you get an apartment that faces the inner courtyard, you will likely get no natural light. On that note, because it is very shady in the courtyard/dog park area, when the weather gets warm that space becomes an absolute breeding ground for mosquitoes. Be prepared for a lot of bug bites in the spring and summer. Management is VERY diligent about restricting the use of amenities for guests of residents. If you plan to have more than two people over to use an amenity space, the leasing office will give you a hard time. I believe this is because people would have huge parties in the rooftop and first floor lounges and the guests would trash everything so I understand where they are coming from. Even though the building is non smoking, not everyone adheres to that policy. My neighbors across the hall seemed to smoke more weed than snoop dogg and people in the floors above us would smoke cigarettes inside and I could smell it through the air conditioning vents. Management constantly sends reminders about the smoking policy, but the problem persists. The building is very controlled in terms of where you can enter it. You can only go down the stairs but your fob does not let you enter any of the actual residential floors. This is nice, in that you don't have random people walking around the building, but annoying in that you can only take the elevators to get to your apartment, even if it is only on the 3rd floor. The parking garage entrance is behind the building and is a pain to get to, especially since Patterson street is very narrow and frequently has cars parked on both sides of the street.nnLastly, my experiences with the leasing office were mostly negative. On numerous occasions the staff were difficult to get in touch with, gave me incorrect or conflicting information depending on whom I spoke to, and sometimes failed to follow through on requests. I did not really have to deal with them much outside of moving in, renewing my lease, and moving out, but the move in process was made far more stressful because of them. My advice: never email them, always call. Despite this, I had a pleasant three years here and if you want the quality and amenities of the Camden Noma, Resa, AVA, or Flats 130 but at a slightly lower price, 2M is a very good option.

We have lived at 2M from 2015 to 2019 and had a great experience. The building itself is perfectly located and has really cool features: a well-maintained gym, an indoor basketball court and above all the best pool you can find, never crowded, with probably one of the clearest views of the Capitol you can get for this rent. Staff has always been attentive and accommodating during our 4 years there. Five stars.

The 2M maintenance team is simply amazing! Any issue I have, no matter how big or small, they come resolve it in a very timely manner. In fact, there was one time where I had a very small issue with my toilet seat being loose (something I tried to fix myself). After I couldn’t, I processed a request and a maintenance technician was at my apartment door within 20 minutes (no exaggeration). Amazing service! I would definitely recommend living here.
