Insignia on M

Reviews

Very happy in here, the environment, the grocery shops, the farmaci, the bus station, the metro , the marine yard all very convenient and walking distance. The view from my apartment just beautiful. You don’t get none of them in Las Vegas, where my...

Great experience so far- I’m excited to move in to my new space and decorate it. The staff is great and has helped me throughout. I love the area too.

Mohammad A.

Nice place to live in. The amenities are perfect especially the roof. The leasing office is nice especially Alexis.. The building is super clean..

Mary B.

I have loved my time here but am looking at other bozzuto ran buildings in navy yard as they offer better prices and specials for more space. It's unfortunate we cannot stay.

Mary T.

Great place to live in clean and everything I need in area grocery transportation restaurants extra I always recommend love one and friends.

I can't believe I am saying this, especially with how much I despise corporate landlord companies.... I love it here. 1. Best management, very attentive, respond to emails promptly, and treat tenants like people and not like problems. I absolutely th...

Great maintenance crew - always takes care of things. Apartment is kept relatively clean. Points taken off for the small gym & older equipment.

Steven Boughton

TL;DR: Small apartments; high prices; loud noises; amenities that disappear at management's sole discretion. Staff: I have lived at Insignia on M for nearly a year. From day one, the staff and management have responded to standard requests (such as f...

Problem after problem. Two months of only 1 available elevator in the summer and the "two weeks" of no HVAC were just last year's problems alone. Before that, no hot water & apparent suicide... This year's horrific handling of all things COVID. Take ...

The front desk staff at IOM is always friendly and helpful. I moved in right at the beginning of the pandemic, so I haven't been able to truly enjoy the building to it's fullest. Looking forward to that.

I've lived at Insignia on M for more than a year, and it's a great community. The leasing and building staff have always been kind, professional and attentive. And, the Bozzuto team does an excellent job proactively sharing information with residents...

Karla C.

Poor staff and customer service experience (i.e., leaving packages outside building, unfriendly behavior at front desk, lack of availability, willingness to help, etc.).

The apartment units and building is far overpriced for the quality. They look nice, but there is no reason to pay the amount you're forced to pay here. I am also very turned off by how they have been handling social distancing. It is very oppressive ...

Insignia is just full of inconsiderate residents, with no respect for other residents or rules. Managements says don’t do it, but they don’t listen. And no further action is taken to enforce it. It’s not kid friendly as the walls are paper thin...

I absolutely love living at IoM. Aside from its incredible location and amenities, the staff and maintenance truly make it a joy to live here. It feels very much like a comfortable, safe and friendly community. Highly recommend Insignia on M!

Sophie K.

The staff are very helpful and friendly and the amenities are great! We love the neighborhood and how dog-friendly the building and neighborhood are!

William C.

I just moved in in the midst of COVID-19, but the staff has been super helpful. I love it so far. Looking forward to enjoying the amenities once things get back to normal.

Jacqueline J.

Beautiful complex in a great location. Only major complaint is the gym. Could use a spruce up on new equipment (please buy a Peloton like the other apartments in the area!)

Nache S.

Not fun moving in the midst of the coronavirus, but everyone has been super helpful. Communication about what the building is doing to prevent the spread has also been useful.

Sunny p.

I’ve been here for two years and have enjoyed it very much so far. The staff at the front desk are always very helpful. I have no complaints and the public areas are always very clean.

Charlotte W.

The staff was incredibly helpful helping me secure an apartment while living in a different city. They were responsive and thorough with my questions! On move in day, several people helped make it a smooth process.

Amrit S.

Move in support was amazing! They checked everything beforehand. I got so much peace of mind knowing that I found a peaceful space- I had a short timeline

Brian S.

The community is good overall. Biggest complaints over the past two years were the flooding on the upper floors and the elevators being broken. Amenities/staff is overall very good

Annica M.

Great space for the price in an amazing location. Noise is always a factor in any apartment, but the construction noise is annoying, especially in the early hours in the morning (2-4 a.m.). Love that there is a 24 hour concierge, and the gym is great...

I have been living here for just over a year. The office staff and maintenance staff are all awesome. Very pleasant concierge staff too. Love living at the Insignia!!

We've only been here for about a week, but we absolutely love it here! We are so lucky to call this place home. We enjoy the location to the metro and work, and all the restaurants and grocery store nearby. We also appreciate the front desk staff and...

Edward D.

So far, so good! Very friendly staff. Very impressive amenities! The rooftop dog park could be a little bit less smelly and drain better, but I'm hoping that will be addressed soon.

Patricia S.

So far everyone has been very helpful and kind. Maintenance and reception staff are great. Cam at the office has helped me with all my questions.

Christopher G.

Insignia on M has been a dream spot. Me and my wife moved from Los Angeles and has no idea where to live. Centered in the heart of Navy Yard, we couldn’t have asked for a better home.

wang duolin

I live here for one month. It is a wonderful time live here. Thanks for all the stuff enthusiasm and dedication that make me have a warm house in DC.

Heather G.

We love insignia on m! The best apartment building we’ve lived in so far (and we’ve lived in a lot). We’ve lived here 6 months now and are resigning. Wonderful and helpful team, super easy move in, and so far no complaints!

Amy G.

I have enjoyed living at Insignia on M. I love my apartment and all glass view, but I love the people and location most. Every place has troubles, but for the most part, the staff does a good job of dealing with it.

Friendly staff and responsive maintenance. Property is well maintained. Neighbors are friendly and courteous. I would recommend this community to others.

James C.

Insignia on M is a great building, with terrific staff and nice amenities. We love our unit, with its large windows facing east, it's really nice in the morning.

Eric L.

Great area to live in, but there needs to be either more space in the pool area or a limit on the number of guests that can be brought up. Also, grills often not working during winter.

Kim B.

There is definitely room for improvement. Often times the concierge is not friendly and difficult to deal with, however, there are a few concierges that are very pleasant. I’m disappointed in the amount of times the fire alarm has disrupted sleep. ...

The neighborhood is great with lots to do (not to mention how close the metro is). The building is pretty quite and the office & concierge are always extremely helpful. I love living in the building!!! :)

I recently moved into the building. The team in the leasing office and concierges have been extremely friendly, supportive, and accommodating. Everyone has helped to answer all my questions and help me get settled. It's a wonderful building with lots...

Kaitlin D.

Beautiful, modern apartments and you can't beat the location being right next to the metro and in the middle of the up and coming Navy Yards area. The rooftop dog park is a game-changer!

May E.

Great building, great amenities, great neighborhood! The apartment is spacious and well equipped. The staff is lovely and super helpful. I’m glad I found my new home at IoM

Christopher M.

It's been an enjoyable experience! Love living so close to Nats park and the neighborhood continuing to grow bringing new life to the area!

Patrick B.

Elevators break often Heat didn't work for about a week And let's not forget the no hot water fiasco of 2018 Hell of a lot of problems for a 2.5 year old building

Kevin G.

This has been a quality place to live. I love the roof and its amenities, as well as the gym. Our unit is a bit pricey for the size, but the location of the building is tough to beat. We're planning to stay another year, perhaps in a larger unit.

Courtney F.

I love everything about Insignia on M and the location. If the elevators didn't have so many problems and we weren't without heat for two weeks i would have given the last star!

Karla C.

We love location and interior design to our apartment, but feel there is room for improvement with the offered amenities. We would love to see more fitness equipment and other activities/services offered to use around the property.

Monica B.

The neighborhood is great with lots to do (not to mention how close the metro is). The building is pretty quite and the office & concierge are always extremely helpful. I love living in the building!!! :)

Matthew C.

Overall this has been a good place to live. The other tenants are friendly, there is a lot to do in the neighborhood, and being next to the metro stop is convenient.

Micah H.

There has definitely been a fair share of frustrations concerning the building such as the elevators and the month of no hot water. However, the staff has been more than apologetic, hardworking and helpful to make up for it. The staff is made up of g...

Kristin F.

Great amenities and staff is awesome. It is overpriced for a one bedroom without a window that's only 600 sq ft and really wish that concessions were offered to incentivize folks to stick around.

Samantha R.

It’s been great but the building has not been able to control both the residents who smoke inside and the residents who let their dogs roam unleashed and who let their dogs urinate everywhere.

Mekisha M.

Very good experience living here. The building itself does not seem to be well constructed, as noise can be heard through the vents from outside and the walls are thin so lots of noise from neighbors (can even hear someone cough). The property howeve...

Joshua D.

Overall a fantastic place to live. Only small Issues prevent the place from being perfect (near constant elevator issues, inadequate gym, etc)

Robert D.

Fantastic location! Daytime/evening concierge staff are great. Amenities are OK but nothing remarkable. Biggest issue is building services. Always seems to be 1 or 2 elevators out of service.

Karla P.

The apartment and amenities are great. The maintenance staff is kind and get things done quickly and always with a smile. The concierge staff, I think only 2 people are polite. The weekend guys and the very early morning guy. The everyday lady is exc...

We like it here. The community is great, but there is a ton of smoke smells inside the building (pot). It seems like there is something broken more often than I would expect for a newer building. Access to the metro and other stuff in navy yard makes...

Moving in was super easy, and all of the staff have been very friendly! The gym is nice and clean, as are the rest of the amenities! Also, who can pass up on free coffee in the morning!

John C.

Great place to live. Convenient to metro and food / grocery options. Facilities are nice and well maintained. Cleaning staff keep the building looking nice and clean.

Jeffery P.

Living at IOM has generally been a positive experience. While recurring, building-wide maintenance issue has occasionally been frustrating, the staff and team are incredibly kind, and the building amenities are fantastic.

Sheri B.

There is something happening every week that the building arranged for us. Morning breakfast and coffee, evening wine tastes, local business offerings, car washes, yoga and workouts. Every week I get an email of upcoming events. I can’t make many o...

Jose D.

Too expensive. Better value around the neighborhood. Poorly constructed. Thin walls. But front desk does accept packages for you. Even though some dont enjoy giving them to you.

Christopher C.

It has been an excellent experience all around from the very first day I stepped foot in the leasing office. From the staff to the location to the neighbourhood, it was a great choice moving here.

Rose M.

Friendly staff and residents, nice amenities and location. Quick response for maintenance requests or questions for the leasing office. Good!

Jordan P.

The front desk staff could be better. There is one who often steps out for smoke breaks often. Another is not friendly or helpful to residents.

Jason S.

I’ll preface this by saying we absolutely love our apartment unit. The building’s location is unbeatable. That said, the building has been plagued with serious problems since we moved in over 2 years ago. We had no hot water for a month. 2 of 4 e...

Love living on Insignia on M and all the amenities is offered, also really convenient to be close to the Metro Station, Restaurants and the stadiums.

From elevators not working, pipes making noise, lack of communication, and the heat being out for two weeks in November, there is never a time where something isn’t wrong in the building. The apartments are modern and it’s a great location right ...

The gym could be more comprehensive, but all other amenities are very good. Staff is always very friendly and helpful when needed. Particularly love my corner apartment.

Elizabeth B.

I love living here! Very clean common spaces and beautiful apartments. The staff is friendly and the location is perfect. I really feel like I have a home here.

Robert W.

Biggest gripe is the elevators are painfully slow even when all 4 are working. It would be nice to be able to take the stairs up instead of just down. The roof/pool rules are a little too strict in the summer and it is way too expensive to rent a par...
