Apartment Description
Spring Valley is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Washington DC. Located behind American University, Spring Valley Apartments are nestled beneath the tall trees of American University Park and Spring Valley. Built in 1936, these apartments... offer traditional layouts with in-home W/D and restored antique wood floors. With only four apartments per building, your home is well cared for and intimate.
Located just one block from Massachusetts Ave. N.W. and a short walk to Metro’s Red Line Tenleytown-AU Metro stop. Ample street parking is also available.
Great shops around the corner including a gourmet grocery store, delicatessen, CVS Pharmacy, dry cleaners, Starbucks, and a Crate & Barrel furnishing store.?
Spring Valley Apartments offers convenient downtown living. Less than two blocks from American University’s main campus and within a mile of Tenleytown Metro, these apartments are located in one of Washington D.C.’s premier residential neighborhoods.
The apartment community has 28 apartments – 22 two-bedroom units, and 6 three-bedroom units. There are only four apartments in each of the two-story, garden-style buildings. The apartments offer a unique, intimate setting in the midst of a prestigious neighborhood, with ample street parking.
Having lived here for the better part of a year the housing is great for what it provides. Close to public transportation, and to American University. Great service by the owner and property manager-snow was shoveled within 5 hours of snowfall, and walkways are cleaned regularly.

Perfect Student Housing!
As an American University student, I’ve been living here for close to two years, and everyone who works to manage and service the property has been excellent and so kind to both me and my roommate! As others have mentioned, the apartments come pre-furnished with a TV, in-unit washer and dryer, dresser, couch, and a full kitchen setup with a stove, oven, and microwave, really everything we needed. The location is a 5–10 minute walk from AU’s campus, which has been... incredibly convenient and is another major highlight.
Most importantly, any time I’ve had a maintenance request or concern, the team has responded quickly and directly. Communication has always been clear, consistent, and personable. I’m incredibly grateful for Spring Valley Apartments and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone, AU students or otherwise! :)

I’ve been living here for about a year now, and there are tons of great things about this apartment and management. Firstly the location is great whether you’re a student attending AU or not. These are some of the closest apartments to campus you can find and at a great price. It’s only a 5 minute walk to campus or to the spring valley building and it right next to stops for the N4 bus which can take you to the metro line. The appliances (washer, drier and stovetop/oven) were all in great shape... with many being brand new. Our apartment came with a large tv as well and pre furnished with great furniture (we barely had to buy any extra). If you ever have problems with any appliances the maintenance team is fast, responsive and didn’t charge me a thing. Don’t miss out on these apartments!

I rented a unit for only two months, but really enjoyed living here. The location is fantastic- just off of busy Massachusetts Avenue. You're close enough for convenience, but 47th Street is very quiet and family-friendly. As a single woman I frequently took walks at night alone through the neighborhood and never felt unsafe.
Most of the other tenants are American University students. Despite being college students, I only ever heard noise from my neighbors' once (and even then it was not... uncomfortably loud).
Like most buildings in DC, the building is a bit old. However, my apartment had brand-new appliances and most features appeared to have been recently updated.
Management was extremely helpful throughout my stay, allowing me to move in the middle of the month and have my pet with me. Phone calls for maintenance requests or questions were always answered or quickly returned. The management went above and beyond for me, and I can't thank them enough.
I would highly recommend Spring Valley Apartments!

Very nice apartments; great management. The location is perfect of the American University. The property itself is well-maintained, and I have had zero issues; partly because the apartments are renovated and appliances and fixtures are new. 5 minute walk to AU and 5 minute walk in the opposite direction to he Spring Valley coffee shops and restaurants.
