I have lived at Allegro since May of 2020, this apartment complex is super unsanitary, unhealthy, and unsafe. There is a rodent infestation issue that management fails to address even after numerous complaints. Management has been incredibly insensitive and disrespectful which has caused extreme hardship. THIS IS NOT A LUXURY BUILDING! Now after 7months I have to find a new home! Rodents are EVERYWHERE!

Inattentive & slightly rude staff when visiting friends.
Response: I rarely follow-up to reviews but having worked in the hospitality industry for over 15 years I felt it necessary. Gaslighting individual experiences is a negative tactic used in such industries. In regards to record keeping the front desk never inquired my name nor cared to and to be frank it's within your teams benefit to exclude any poor customer service from "the record". I would suggest reviewing team work ethic and the culture supported within. Thank you for response.

I've been living here for almost 3 years now. This is a quiet and safe building. Maintenance requests are answered quickly and the maintenance staff is very professional and kind. The concierge team also does a great job and goes out of its way to render high quality service. Anthony has always been extremely helpful. There is a new member of that team, Brenda, who is very nice and just has the best attitude.

I've lived in Allegro for about a year and a half now and its been a good experience so far. The fact that its pet friendly and has a fitness center (that has remained open in a limited capacity even with covid) is a big plus. Maintenance requests are usually responded to fairly quickly, and the staff are all amazing -- maintenance, management, Anthony and the rest of the concierge team -- they're all helpful and kind people that are wonderful to be around!

Allegro is a peaceful and quiet community. I love the fact that dogs live here too. It brightens the spirit to see their tails wagging when they're about to go for a walk. The leasing team is awesome also. They're very helpful concerning any questions you may have concerning the events they stage for the residents. There is never a boring week living at Allegro. They aim to keep the residents happy. The concierge desk is phenomenal. Here's a special shout-out to ANTHONY!! He goes the extra mile to make sure the residents get what they need.

I recently moved into the Allegro and it's been a fantastic experience so far. The building and unit is clean, well maintained, with spacious floor plans and it's easy access to most things in Columbia Heights. The staff especially - from the leasing office to concierge have all been really friendly, helpful and welcoming.

My husband and I loved living here and are only moving out after a year due to moving to another state. The staff at Allegro are kind, diligent and responsive. The management team always responds to my email questions, and I have worked with staff members (Kendall) on site, on many occasions and she was always helpful and professional. Any maintenance issues/request are always resolved quickly and the common areas are always clean. We've had a great experience living here and are impressed by Bozzuto.

Nick Smith was wonderful in showing me around this beautiful apartment community. The units were well designed with laundry in every unit, kitchens with full size appliances, and lots of counter space.

I moved into the apartment building this year. The staff is super helpful and nice. I wanted to move to a different apartment and Shante in the office was kind, responsive, and very helpful with me during the process. I really love the amenities including having an in-unit washer/dryer. The staff also responds very quickly to maintenance requests and help take care of my pet while I'm traveling!

I recently moved out of the Allegro after 2 1/2 years, and I am definitely sad to be leaving the community. I had a great experience, while being a Resident and the Neighborhood, is vibrant and makes for a great time living in DC; is close to great restaurants, bars, a walk from the busy 14th St and U corridor, and short distance to the Metro and other amenities such as Target, Giant and CVS. The Staff at The Allegro is wonderful, Jon is an excellent Property Manager, with an open door policy, always willing to listen to residents, and goes out of his way to provide exceptional service.

The comments about people leaving trash in the chute area (which the entire floor has to walk OVER to get to their cars) are true. Here's a tip: Those boxes typically HAVE THE APT # ON THEM of the person who left them. Picking them up and dropping them BACK in front of the offender's door is pretty effective at curbing that behavior. Or, so I've heard. :)
Otherwise. So far, excellent. Really nice staff. I like the parking; no issues with my car or anything getting stolen like some other reviews...I'm not sure what kind of car people drive that gets broken into multiple

On 5/20/18. I had a small social event at my place. As anyone would, I wanted to put my best foot forward with my guest. Tya Scott ( the front desk concierge) was very polite, warming, welcoming, professional, kind and just all the way amazing. Each one of my guest as they reached my apartment spoke to how helpful she was and welcoming. My guest thought she her self must've been attending the same social event how helpful she was.
Thanks Tya!!

Have lived in the Allegro for almost a year now and have to say that it is great overall. Leasing team is incredibly helpful and respectful. I was in Boston when looking at apartments and Riannon offered to go on a Facetime tour of the building. Building is very clean and amenities are great. Easy to request repairs online and repairs are made very quickly. Moving for work but would have definitely renewed my lease otherwise.

I lived in The Allegro for almost two years and absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend it for mid-twenties/mid-thirties folks who are new to the city or a couple. It's absolutely beautiful - all the amenities, parking, outdoor areas and balcony. It's a wonderful location close to all the 11st bars restaurant, walking distance to Petworth, U Street, AdMo, Meridian and Target/Grocery store around the corner.

I lived in the Allegro for a little over a year. I moved out a few months ago and I still miss it to this day!
Many apartment complexes in DC love to throw around the "luxury" label, but Allegro really fits it. The space is beautiful, both in the common areas and the apartment itself. Everything is really well-made - the kitchen has granite counter tops and beautiful track lighting. We also had a huge patio space, which was awesome for entertaining and gardening.

This review is for Samuel Badaso the lead concierge at the Allegro who has consistently given me the warmest welcome each morning as I return from the gym and always quick to action any of my requests :) As the first person you see upon entering , his warm smile and positive energy definitely make living here all the more pleasurable. When you've been gone on holiday for several weeks, his genuine greeting definitely makes you feel happy to be back home !
As for the building itself , I've lived in two different units but absolutely love the lay out of the current apartment I occupy

2. Because of incidents like this, my renters insurance increased more than $100 from last year.
3. You have to deal with the leasing staff annually. You'd think think they would want you to continue to live here but instead offer better pricing for new people and discount parking for them. The staff don't seem to care about the residents because they only last six months. Look through the yelp reviews - they

When I moved into this building in September of 2009, the building was still brand new and was only about 40% rented out. It was wonderful to move into a brand new building with granite countertops in the kitchen and in the bathroom. We had amazing free community events at local restaurants and bars which included free happy hour food and drinks.
The location is excellent, within walking distance to the metro, just a few blocks away. Plus, lots of shops and restaurants close by. However, you will pay for such convenience. When I first moved in, Kettler was the property management company, and

I moved in 3 months ago and so far so good. The 24 hour concierge is great to get my packages and send out my packages. The location is great with lots of different food places nearby to try. The metro is like 5 minutes away walking. The property manager is alao very nice.
I've read other comments complaining of parties and loud music but I haven't experienced this yet. Yes you may here residents moving around every now and again but nothing like a frat party going on.
They also have a deal with relay foods to have groceries delivered free to residents.

The Allegro is a fine place to live. For a luxury building it hits all the standard notes: 24-hour concierge, fitness center, online portal, community events, and big common spaces. I moved from City Market at O, and while City Market is a newer building with greater amenities (e.g. roof top pool), there isn't a huge contrast between buildings. They are both managed by Bozzuto, so you get great attention from the staff. I've had some issues while here, and management was quick to address them.

So I see a lot of issues in the comments that I personally haven't had. The leasing office has been fine to work with. On the few occasions I've had issues with my rent, they were helpful and never charged me a late fee.
The concierge team has been fantastic. There's been some turnover, but the morning concierge has been the same since we moved in, and we've had about three different ones in the afternoon. They've always been pleasant and helpful, and each of them has known our names, said hello, or just chatted.
No bugs, mice, or anything else in my apartment, although

Lived here for 3 years when I first moved DC. Overall, it was a decent just-out-of-college living situation because we were fitting three people into the 2 bedroom + loft layout. The price has gone up and the building management has changed some. It definitely better now that Bozzuto has take over, but not as nice as their other properties.
-Without a "move in" special this place isn't worth the price.
-Fire alarms all the time in the middle of the night.
-Super thin walls.
-Lots of construction. They closed down our private roof for over a month to do construction on the outside

I pay a lot to live here, and we have a mouse problem, as in a live mouse is on the run in my bedroom. The solution was to leave glue traps, and maybe the exterminator would stop by late next week.
So, choose wisely.
Update: Happily moving out soon. To the person who happily chirped "lessons on city living," I am not new to city living, having lived in Manhattan for ten years, rodent free. Thanks, though - I'll write that down? Maybe make a cross stitch of it?
Even if one lives on the ground floor of a "luxury" building, mice should not be tunneling into your kitchen
