Testimonials

I have lived at The Shay for two years now and have to say it is a great experience. The apartments are beautiful with great views of the monument. Also the staff at the Shay are more than helpful. Brett Hanna has helped me and my girlfriend multiple times with different requests. Also Stephen at the front desk is always courteous and more than helpful. I would highly recommend living here.

WE LOVED THE SHAY. If I were to move back to DC, I would live there again. Special thanks to Brett, Steven, Rachel & Marita. You are all wonderful humans & we wish you the absolute best! New management is 10/10.
- Shannon Plunkett

I LOVE living at The Shay. The location is super convenient and the amenities are the best. My favorite part about the community is its staff. It is because of the amazing staff at the Shay - from maintenance and front desk staff to management - that I am I proud to be going into my third year as a resident.
- Camille Villafane

I have lived here for a year and cannot say enough about how much I love it here. The apartments are gorgeous and the building is top notch. I would have to say the best part about living here would be the staff, specifically the manager Meera and the assistant manager Iain. I have lived at a ton of different apartments over the years, but have never had such amazing management that takes care of every single thing I ask or need. Meera and Iain are extremely responsive, amazingly friendly!
