Brookland Press

I am very grateful for my 2.5+ years at Brookand land. Naz, Angela, Lawson, Ebini, Mr. Darrell, and other staff (including the cleaning staff) have felt like home. My pup has a wonderful routine of saying good morning to Naz and the cleaning crew before going for a walk or the dog park next to the building. I'm able to leave a key at the desk for authorized dog walkers, and the front desk staff is helpful with giving me my packages.

if I ever had an issue maintenance-wise, they were timely and effective. if I needed answers soon about something, I could head down to the leasing office and ask questions.

we felt at home, taking advantage of the dog park, rooftop spaces and grills, pool, yoga studio, gym, and other game rooms.

I liked the 806 building (more modern. 805 is nice- but does have a more industrial feel) and having a balcony overlooking the metro and Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. we were close to a CVS, grocery store, and some chain food options if needed. not to mention the metro is right across the street. additionally, they have monthly events for residents.

make sure to read over the entire lease- but this is true of any place! it's a great neighborhood filled with city and suburban life, and not far from downtown via metro or using a capital bike share along the MBT. Thanks, Brookland press team! - love, Snacks the therapy dog and mom :)

Everyone has been so nice and helpful. The buildings are clean, inviting, and gorgeous! We have loved every minute of living here. Only downside is parking

If you want new friends, come live here. I’ve been here for two years and it’s been so fun. Super friendly and comedy shows are always the best! Could we do this like more often?? Once a month?

4 corners entertainment is the best and always a pleasure to have at Brookland press. Always good vibes, great drinks and a packed room! Grrrreat entertainment. Love when these guys come through. More please!

Transparent Review - I wanted to provide an honest and comprehensive review, so I've taken my time to live here for a considerable period before sharing my thoughts. So here it goes:

Living at Brookland Press has been an absolutely incredible experience. There are so many amazing aspects about this complex that I can't help but rave about.

First and foremost, the location is absolutely unbeatable. With the metro just a short walk away and a variety of chain restaurants and a grocery store in the vicinity, convenience is truly at your doorstep. Not to mention, Brookland itself is a fantastic neighborhood, offering the perfect blend of city vibrancy and suburban tranquility. It's the ideal place for those seeking to immerse themselves in city life or transition to a more suburban setting.

One of the standout features of Brookland Press is the sense of community it fosters. I was searching for a place that felt like a true home, where I could effortlessly connect with my neighbors and make lasting friendships if I desired. The staff, including the friendly and welcoming individuals like Naz, Ebony, Angela, Craig, Webster, Mr. Darrell, Mr. King, and many more, go above and beyond to ensure that living here is an absolute pleasure. Despite the large number of residents in the complex, they make it a point to know each person by name. This intentional community atmosphere creates a warm and welcoming environment that truly sets Brookland Press apart.

Additionally, the range of floor plan options at Brookland Press is impressive. With two distinct buildings to choose from, you have a wealth of opportunities to find the perfect unit that suits your preferences and needs. The flexibility and variety in floor plans truly set this place apart.

While, like any place, there may be a few aspects that are not ideal for everyone, such as the absence of guest parking and limited hours for amenities, the non updated call box, the trash shoot door, these minor inconveniences do not detract from the overall value of this complex. Brookland Press is upfront and transparent with its residents, and I appreciate that. Before moving here, I had concerns based on some reviews I read, but I quickly realized that some individuals may be prone to complaining, while others lack a sense of understanding. It's important to find the right balance and make your own decision when considering living here, as what works for one person may not work for everyone.

If I were to envision myself renting for the rest of my life, Brookland Press would undoubtedly be my top choice. Its exceptional location, sense of community, and diverse floor plan options create an unmatched living experience that is difficult to find elsewhere.

I am in complete disbelief of the way management has handled our move out. They (Brookland Press and Greystar) are essentially unresponsive; as a tenant none of our concerns were addressed, now as a former tenant we have emailed corporate and the property multiple times over the course of months and received finally received a response in regards to our move out/security deposit refund in February.

Unfortunately, our neighbors were very loud and had a dog that barked non-stop for hours at a time, day and night. We flagged this numerous times but nothing was done to rectify the situation, so we made the decision to move.

Fast-forward three months, we are battling to get our security deposit back. They are well over the 45-day deposit return window outlined in the lease. We still have not received the check BUT we did get a screenshot that the check has been cut! A check for $40. They owe us approximately $750 for the security deposit + an additional fab that was returned. We did not receive an itemized invoice or any communications that justified the $710 discrepancy in the amount owed and the check cut. Additionally, they sent the check to the wrong address. Despite me following up three times to ensure they had our correct forwarding address.

I will never live at another Greystar property and would advise you to think twice before signing a lease with them.

As a frequent visitor, I’ve always experienced great customer service. The front desk is always so helpful for me; I’ve yet to have a bad experience with them. One person in particular, Darrell, is always so nice and helpful in every way. He meets me with a smile every morning when I come in and has a solution to every problem. Big kudos to him.

My two star rating is, you probably guessed: parking. It is almost as if the builders built this with no visitors in mind. There is a very small roundabout in front that holds maybe 8 cars. While there is a way to pay for that parking, they are asking for $13+ for ONE HOUR. Am I parking in downtown DC or Brookland?? Either way, this place should really consider extra guest parking. The residents here use services in which the vendors of said services need to park. Cleaning, babysitters, dog walking- these are all services being used by residents that need access to parking. I myself am a babysitter and got hit with a $250 ticket for parking in this roundabout (I’ve parked here several occasions). It’s not fair but what can one do? Hopefully they can get around to eventually.

That said, thank you Darrell for your incredible customer service.

Edit: Brookland press through the best weekly event ever. Comedy show. All the comedians were so funny, I would pick this type of event over others. Drinks and some comedy. You can’t ask for better. I would love it if it was a Friday. Other than that it was amazing. I enjoyed it!

Great place. Been living since December 2021. I love this place. The new management is great, very responsive. The residents also are friendly and great. Will be staying here longer.
