staff is fine, have had some difficulties with managing amenities and parking. They’ve threatened to tow my car several times despite me being in my assigned (paid for) spot

Ellicott House Apartments is a great place to live. The building is clean and well-organized, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. I’ve had a really positive experience here and would definitely recommend it to others.

I like the community events we are located in a great area, with a new management team. The tennis court and pool are great amenities which I enjoy.

The new ramp will let me get around on my own. I just had my 86th birthday. I've been waiting for 6 years. Congratulations to the new management for getting it done.

Spacious units in a wonderful neighborhood
I've lived here 3 yrs and am very happy at Ellicott House. The Forest Hills neighborhood is very upscale and walkable with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The bus stop is in front of the bldg and the red line is 8 blocks down Connecticut Ave. The bldg has a nice mix of retired professionals and young people. The fact that it is a rent controlled property with utilities included is a real plus. The units are large and many have balconies. I love that there is a laundry room on every floor. We have an excellent maintenance staff. I have never seen insects or rodents. We do have occasional issues with hot water but they are quickly resolved. We have a new management company, APT, and they have already made improvements in our quality of life. I love living here!
