Spend your money somewhere else. I lived at Vaughan Place for two years and was subject to the management change others have mentioned. When it came time to renew my lease under the new management, I had to approach them. To my surprise, they raised my rent 25% with no warning. I did not have enough time to look for a different place to live, so had to accept the 25% rent increase. By raising my rent on such short notice, they also violated the terms of my first lease. The massive, surprise rent increase was the biggest issue I had here, but there were many others. The fire alarms go off roughly once a month, often around 2am. Management never offered explanation or apologized for these. The one time that there actually was a fire in the building (the entire stairwell and hallways smelled like smoke), an explanation of the cause was never given. The building has rats. I found two inside, one in the lobby and one on the fifth floor hallway. At one point, the lobby smelled strongly of natural gas for several days. An explanation was never offered as to why. The fifth floor also routinely smelled of gas. Despite investigations, it was never determined where the smell came from (no natural gas appliances in the building). At least one of three elevators in the tower consistently did not work from the time the new management took over. This created many delays in entering and leaving the building. Sometimes, all three elevators would be out of service with no communication from management. This created significant issues for residents with limited mobility. My apartment routinely smelled like cigarette smoke, since many units in the building are owned, not rented. Enforcement of the non-smoking policy was clearly not strong enough. Although the leasing office staff were very nice while I lived there, the second I moved out, communication ended. I had to end my lease early due to accepting a job out of state, but I followed all termination guidelines, including a very hefty fine. I moved out December 18, but my apartment was not listed as available until late January (supposedly this was due to renovations, which take about 1 week - I watched many apartments on my hallway get renovated). The termination fee I was originally charged was about $2000 higher than what it should have been. No one at Vaughan Place answered my calls or emails regarding this. I finally received a reply to an email after quoting DC housing law. Take it as a sign that many residences have been on the market for 4+ months. If you want to spend $2500 on a one bedroom, live at the brand new construction one block away. Do not live here.
