We have lived at The Shelby since 2014. When we first moved in, the apartments were managed by Buzzuto and we absolutely loved living here. However, since the new management company, Greystar, has taken over earlier this year in March, we cannot wait...

New building, plenty of amenities, and very well attended to. The units are large and modern. The building is close to a DC metro stop and plenty of shops and restaurants, but far enough away from the actual city that the prices are very reasonable.

One of the best apartment complexes i have ever resided in. The staff is always very friendly and helpful and the maintenance staff couldnt be better! Very responsive and helpful usually within one day of submitting a service request.

My family and I enjoy living at The Shelby; awesome staff, very courteous and attentive to tenants needs! Especially love the security features; garage gate and controlled entry and their attentiveness to unauthorized vehicles in the parking garage.

From the beginning, management has been absolutely wonderful (Sergi and Chris from my personal experience). They are helpful, prompt, caring and considerate. They go above and beyond to make sure future and current tenants are happy and comfortable. ...

We pay damn near $2000/month to live here, which is completely overpriced and not worth it. For a week now our 'safe and secure' apartment has been wide open to the public. The garage doors are open, no garage door opener needed, key fobs are not nee...

Do not live here. The staff do not follow through with what they say they are going to do, and the only person who values people's concerns is the assistant manager. Maintenance requests take anywhere from a few days to a few months to complete, tras...

The property is designed beautifully, the management and the crew are very nice, maintenance is awesome, however, meeting your neighbor is lacking, unless you drink. So for some of us nondrinkers it is not easy to meet your neighbours

I don't know if you can get all of the amenities that the Shelby offers at another location. The apartment goes out of its way to accommodated animal owners while maintaining a modern, classy, clean and community environment.

It's a nice apartment complex and has upscale amenities. The square footage is adequate for the price, the appliances are new and modern, the fixtures are nice but could be more functional, and the high ceilings make the apartments feel larger.
