Andover House

When we originally signed our apartment at Andover House our effective rate for a one bedroom apartment was ~$2,150. The rate we were presented to resign for a month-to-month lease was >$4,000/month for the same apartment. The cheapest option available was a 12 month lease that was still a 36% increase from what we were paying. It is well known in the DC area that Andover House deliberately prices out tenants. Dont take it from me, take it from the other reviews which I should have paid more attention to when we signed our apartment. The reason why Im leaving this review is because of the response we got when we had asked for a fair rate. Andover responded with we are not a non-profit company to help residents. We had asked for our rate to not increase by $2,000/month for a one bedroom, not for a free pass. UDR could care less about the well being of their tenants. The reviews of tenants complaining about how Andover hotels half of their apartments makes that message pretty clear. Andover will price you out and leave you with a rude, abrupt and inhuman response. Take it from someone that learned the hardway, avoid this place at all costs

Whatever your lease says, add ~$150 to get the real number that you'll be charged just for rent + hidden fees (this is in addition to utilities, parking, etc) The apartment, building, and staff are all good, just be aware that the price on the lease is not the price you'll pay

The Emergency maintenance contract company the building uses expect you to stay up all night waiting on technicians they cannot reach. And then they threaten you with liability and incurring cost of dispatching repair men if you fall asleep despite it being almost midnight.
