Wonderful tour today with Lauren and Malachi! They were so nice and very knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions, were friendly and so helpful! Carlyle Place is beautiful and very spacious! Best apartment we have toured out of about 15! Close to the metro is a bonus!! Looks like a very nice neighborhood!

Absolutely wonderful experience living at Carlyle Place for the last year! Robert and Malachi in the leasing office are amazing and have gone above and beyond, and the maintenance team is very prompt. The location is great with the metro extremely walkable. Can’t recommend Carlyle Place more!!!

We left Michigan and moved to Carlyle Place almost 2 months ago and have found our apartment to be spacious and comfortable. The management staff (Robert and Malachi) are always cheerful, responsive to our inquiries , and extremely helpful. We are grateful for the friendly concierge folks, Kathryn, Kathy and Steve, who keep so many details of our lives running smoothly. Being located so close to restaurants, Old Town and the Metro station also really makes the location a winner.

I visit the carlyle place apartments and the leasing professional Robert B was amazing very professional very knowledgeable and friendly. I love that he knew his residence by name when seeing them in the hallway as we visit apartments . The building was amazing very clean, up-to-date newly renovated the apartment was the size and space I was looking for and I definitely be renting from them soon.

4.5/5 actually. Living at Carlyle Place was an interesting experience. While things were very negative at first, by the time I left thing had SIGNIFICANTLY improved. The apartments are gorgeous no doubt. The building had several issues throughout my time living there, however, change of management has significantly improved the place by addressing concerns and repairs: fixing emerging issues promptly. The new management team is attentive and caring. With this new management's guidance, the leasing team seams under less stress and much more open to working with residents. The building is still going through renovations and, when finalized, it would significantly improve residents living. They are really trying to improve, and are willing to work with you if you respectfully reach out and work with them. Boiler issues and elevator issues are being actively repaired and reviewed to finally fix problems. Security is improving. Package management is much much improved. Overall, if I moved back to the area I would not doubt choosing Carlyle Place as my next home. Give them a chance! It's a nice place and they're doing everything they can to make it better.

There are so many things I can say about The Carlyle Place. It was my first apartment as a new single mom. The location is perfect for convivence. You can walk to best grocery stores, you are a near entertainment and a pharmacy. The metro is right there and best of all you are in a super safe location.
No place is perfect, so yes living here came with some hiccups but with such an attentive group of property managers, assistants, concierges and maintenance crew (they are the best and have great attitudes) ...I promise you are in great hands. you are not just a number, just get to know them and remember that they are human too.
You truly will get your money's worth. Also Shout out to the New Property Manager Christine, she came in around the summer , during renovations and learns so much, so quick. She will make sure you not only feel at home but feel cared for and seen.
Enjoy the new renovations, you will never want to leave lol
Get that application process started and bring a good attitude :)
