Think your rent is high? Apartments at The Woodley, managed by the Bozzuto Group, go for up to $12,000 a month—a figure that raised some eyebrows last summer when the super luxe 212-unit building opened to residents, becoming one of the most expensive apartment complexes in Washington. Eight months later, only about 30 percent of the building at 2700 Woodley Road in—you guessed it—Woodley Park is leased. According to its website, Bozzuto is offering a month of free rent to new residents, or to pay for moving costs. Management says many of the current residents are international. And apparently some are just international travelers—on the afternoon we visited, a reception was under way in the lobby for a US ambassador who lives in one of the penthouses.
Not every unit goes for five figures. Studios start at $2,700 a month, and living in the building comes with plenty of perks. There’s an infinity pool, an expansive roof deck, and a concierge at your beck and call 24 hours a day. Here’s a look inside the two-bedroom, two-bathroom model unit, decorated by Hartman Design Group.
