1401 Joyce on Pentagon Row Apartments

If you love the smell of marijuana every hour of everyday, then look no further! We've lived here four years and will not be renewing our lease because 1401 S Joyce has become a haven for pot smokers. Yes, we've personally asked them to stop face-to-face, but they continue... in their apartment, on their balcony, and in the parking garage. When visiting for a tour, ask Equity how they enforce their no smoking policy. They don't. This post is 5 stars so it doesn't get ignored. It's really 0 stars.

So far so good, definitely an upgrade from living in DC.

I have lived at 1401 South Joyce Street for over fifteen years. I recently transferred to a penthouse apartment and Makaya was the leasing agent. I had several questions about the transfer and Makaya took the time to explain the policy, the cost of the move, etc. Thanks to her expertise and answering all my questions/concerns the move went smoothly. I also want to thank Malik and Tina as they assisted when Makaya was not available in answering some of my questions. Thanks also to the service team, Henok, Negussie and Samuel. There were some things that had to be fixed that were done by the rehab team and they took care of them quickly. The staff at 1401 South Joyce Street is the best I have ever dealt with. They are always professional, courteous, and go the extra mile to make sure tenants are happy. If you are looking for a place to live that has great amenities, close to shopping, public transportation, great restaurants, etc. this is the place to live. The cleaning staff works seven days a week and the building is very secure. I want to add on what great service I have received from Negussie. He always responds in a timely manner and goes the extra mile to make sure things are done properly. He is a hard and dedicated worker and truly an asset to 1401 South Joyce Street.

Malik in Leasing is so terrific! He goes out of his way to get detailed information that is needed. He is responsive and always follows up on a timely basis. I used to live there from 2007 to 2020 (13 years), and I've been working with Malik as I'm thinking of relocating back to the area. Tina who is the manager now in 2024 was also the manager before I left. I thought she was terrific also. She handled any issues promptly and was always pleasant to work with. Angela who works at the front desk becomes like a family member. She truly loves her job and treats the building like it's her home making sure that everything is running smoothly and gives you that warm welcome when you come home from a crazy day at work. I called this place "home" for a very long time, and there was a very good reason for it.

There are not enough great things to say about this wonderful building, its location, its community, and its absolutely exceptional leasing staff (Makaya and Malik), and community manager (Tina) who are kind, helpful, and beyond patient. This building is stunning - with washers, dryers, and AC and heating that can be controlled all year round, which is a rarity for the buildings in the neighborhood... And it's non-smoking. The building itself is a very friendly community, and it just felt like a great place to call home. I was apartment hunting for quite a while and spent *a lot* of time with Makaya touring the building and looking for the perfect apartment - there were so many great units. Makaya is AMAZING! Kind, caring, and as I said before, so incredibly patient. I also had the pleasure of working with Malik who came up with great ideas, and went out of his way to get some answers I really needed. I am truly lucky to have found and worked with both of these great people in a very stressful apartment hunt. I was also luck to meet both Samah earlier on, and Tina, the wonderful manager for 1401 Joyce near the end of my search. She too is such a fantastic and kind person, and I'm so glad we met. Thank you all for your help, and I just wanted to give a huge, public 'thank you' to all of you for your help when I was looking to find a new home, and to recommend all of you - and this wonderful building, community, and management company (Equity) as highly as I possibly can!! :)
