Apartment Review for Naylor Gardens Apartments - Washington, DC

They are a disgrace & provide no real privacy. They are not built for a family but, are advertised as such. The government built them for the returning service men in 1950 and they were cheaply built. One plank of wood for a floor and no sound proofing layer undeer it between it and you can hear right through the floor. A great number of the units are Cooperatives but, at some point to keep the place going and the coop fees low for the coopers they began renting them to Welfare and Section 8 residents. Feeding off of the government for these the subsidy funds. That's when the place went to the dogs as the place is not built for families such as they advertise. A small kitchenette and small dining room is not enough room for a family of 5. I am one person in a 2 bedroom unit and there is just enough room for me. The area is crime ridden and I regret moving here and will be leaving as soon as my lease is up. People that live on the system should not be mixed with the working class people and seniors because they have lived off of us all their no working lives. We need our space away from them and paying for them to have is more than enough. And I'm talking about the ones who take the money and drink it up, chain smoke, and other waste need to be with each other in apartments and houses specially built for them.
