I enjoyed Carver Apartments on Elm Street NW when I was living in D.C. I had a one bed/one bath for $1,800 back in 2020 when I moved in (left in 2021 to move home). Mine was a corner unit, so I only shared a wall with really one neighbor, and never heard them. Outside noise was there for sure, but it wasn’t bad. LeDroit is a quieter neighborhood overall.
It’s close enough to the metro to walk, though the walk is harder manage in the summer if you’re trying to not be a sweaty mess wherever you’re going.
Management at Carver was pretty laidback too.
Best part of living there was 100% Cookie’s Corner across the street. The couple that run that store are so kind and I can’t state enough how excellent their cookies are.
