2400 M Apartments, Washington DC: Pricing, Reviews, and What to Know Before You Sign

Current pricing and availability

A one-bedroom at 871 square feet recently listed for $3,648, about 18% above the $3,086 median RentHop reports for one-bedrooms in Foggy Bottom–GWU–West End. A two-bedroom at 1,308 square feet listed for $5,172, closer to the local median at roughly 4% above the $4,990 figure RentHop cites for that unit type. Both comparisons are dated to spring 2026 and move with whatever units are live, so treat the percentage, not the dollar figure, as the durable part. Against the citywide Washington average that Apartment List’s DC rent report puts at $1,941 for a studio, $2,511 for a one-bedroom, $3,701 for a two-bedroom, and $5,388 for a three-bedroom, every unit type here sits well above the city median, which tracks with the West End’s position between Georgetown and Dupont Circle.

The table above shows every unit type here priced above the citywide floor Apartment List reports, with the widest gap at the studio tier. As of this check, the property’s own site was running “1 Month Free & an Additional $500 Off Move-In Costs on select homes” — a live concession, not a permanent feature of the rent, so confirm current terms before budgeting around it.

Building basics

The building holds 39 units at 2400 M Street NW, zip 20037, per Redfin’s listing data, and carries a Walk Score of 96. This stretch of the West End gets roughly 9.3 hours of June sunlight against 4.2 hours in December, below the U.S. average, per the same Redfin listing’s environmental layer.

What’s actually included

The core amenity set matches most West End buildings: rooftop pool and running track, 24-hour fitness center, in-unit washer and dryer, granite counters, and a covered garage run by ABM Parking with a 7’4″ height limit for oversized vehicles.

Pet fees here are unusually specific for this competitive set: most listing pages just say “pet friendly” without dollar amounts, while the numbers above come from a Zillow listing for the same building.

Is 2400 M pet-friendly, and what does it cost?Yes: up to three cats at $50 a month, or up to three dogs for a $500 one-time fee plus $65 a month.

The neighborhood, honestly

The address sits in the West End, between Georgetown and Dupont Circle, four blocks from the Foggy Bottom–GWU Metro station. That station serves the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines, confirmed on WMATA’s own station page, not the Red Line, which several listing aggregators still list alongside Blue and Orange.

Which Metro lines actually serve this building?Blue, Orange, and Silver, per WMATA. The nearest Red Line access is a separate walk to Dupont Circle or Farragut North.

What residents say that the listing pages don’t

Consistent praise across dated reviews centers on location and staff responsiveness: multiple reviewers describe maintenance as prompt and the building as clean and safe, one specifically noting a short-term stay during a summer internship went smoothly.

Consistent complaints on ApartmentRatings cluster around three things. Noise tops the list: reviewers across different years describe hearing alarm clocks and traffic through the walls, and one long-term resident cites beer cans in stairwells and disrespect for quiet hours tied to a heavy college-student presence. HVAC comes second: a detailed review describes the air handling as a wind tunnel near the vents with noticeable dust buildup, recommending a filter. Billing friction is third: a month-to-month renewal was quoted at a 16% increase over the standard lease rate in one account, and a move-out “Express Checkout” service fee reportedly exceeded the security deposit being held.

One review also references a class-action claim against the operator. That reference is a single reviewer’s unverified allegation inside an anecdote, not a confirmed legal record, and it appears here only as a reported claim.

Is the building mostly students?Not exclusively, but reviewers repeatedly describe a real student-heavy contingent tied to nearby GW and GWU, and cite that mix as the top source of noise complaints.

Costs beyond rent

Bundled versus separate utilities

Water, sewer, and trash are billed as one bundled charge through the property, while electricity and gas run separately by residents’ accounts, per detailed reviews on ApartmentRatings — a split no aggregator in this comparison states.

Parking costs

Parking is a further add-on: one detailed reviewer described garage rates above $200 a month and reported a car break-in during their tenancy, worth weighing against the convenience of covered parking in a neighborhood with limited street spots.

What’s not included in the rent?Electric and gas run separately from the base rent; water, sewer, and trash are bundled into one charge billed by the property, on top of the required monthly fees shown in the table above.

Who this building suits — and who it doesn’t

• Young professionals prioritizing location. The Georgetown and Dupont Circle position and 96 Walk Score deliver on the marketing claim; budget for the price premium over DC’s citywide average.
• GW-adjacent students or their co-signers. The building already has a real student presence per resident accounts, so noise from peers is a known quantity rather than a surprise.
• Anyone prioritizing quiet over location. The noise and HVAC complaints recur across multiple review years; a unit away from the courtyard may matter more here than at a quieter competitor building.

A note for market comps

For anyone evaluating 2400 M as a rent comp rather than a home, the building is a 39-unit Equity Residential asset in the West End submarket, priced above DC’s citywide averages at every unit type and running a live one-month-free concession as of this check.
