Van Ness East Apartments

The 12 stories tall Van Ness East Condominium (VNE) is wrapped on two sides by the valleys and woods of Rock Creek Park. Its grassy slopes on the east blend into the dense forests of Rock Creek Park whose flora and fauna frequently compel visitors to the building to stop, admire and click before departing. The only structure separating the north-side of the Condominium from the serene Soapstone Valley is its secluded swimming pool where residents can relax and listen to the sounds of the birds. The building's entrance to the south is located at the end of Van Ness Street, just one block away from Connecticut Avenue. Located to the east of the building, across from its front plaza, are VNE's neighbors - Van Ness South (a rental building), and Van Ness North (a coop). The 443 unit Condominium is comprised of a mix of efficiencies, one, two and three bedroom units. Some have balconies and patios. Van Ness East proudly boasts of having installed the largest residential solar energy system in the DC Metropolitan Area at no cost to VNE owners. Van Ness East is prized for its proximity to the Van Ness-UDC metro station (Red line), shops including Giant grocery, restaurants and the University of the District of Columbia - all located within a one-two minute walk. Building amenities include a front desk staffed 24-hours a day, a doorman at the lobby entrance, a party room, an exercise room, a library, onsite management, full service 24x7 concierge, copy and fax service, and in-unit maintenance services. There are also two outdoor swimming pools that open during Memorial Day weekend. The smaller pool closes during Labor Day weekend and the large one is opened two weeks beyond Labor Day. During the season, this pool opens early for lap swimming on weekdays.
