This is not a place you would want to live regardless of the obscene prices they are asking for rent (srsly, shop around). This building was built on a gas field, the entire surrounding area and the building reek of gas. Since construction was not finished on time, residents continue to hear loud noise ("beep, beep, beep, beep") starting early on weekday and weekend mornings (pretty much every day; not Sunday). The developer clearly botched the construction and they are now forced to fix while... marketing to tenants.

There are plenty of other better, quieter, cheaper, buildings in the area, that likely have lower levels of toxic gas. OHS is a dump with the veneer of luxury. It is all gimmicky decor and slick marketing materials but with cheap, hastily-built guts. It is a rip off. Ask to speak to existing tenants.

If you do consider OHS, make sure to tour it in the early AM so you can hear the construction. Ask to tour between 7 and 8am. They try to wrap the construction by 8 or 9 so its not ongoing when they do tours, but trust me it starts early AM and it will disrupt your life if you live here. If there's no construction noise when you do tour, ask the agent if noise is an issue for other tenants and see if they give you an honest answer. Ask about the extremely high rent prices compared to other buildings that are literally across the street. Ask if there are discounts for the gas leaks and the ongoing construction noise. Ask about the lot immediately adjacent to the building and when construction there will start. Shop around. Do not pay more because this place is new - its a new pile of trash. Save yourself thousands of dollars. Read More

I am one of the charter residents who moved in within the first few months of the building open for occupancy. I can't believe I am reading these comments. It's not the building that I know. One Hill South (OHS) has a very responsive and caring team. It is nice to be welcomed by the concierge team by name each day I return home. They will address any inside unit and common area maintenance issues rapidly. I have more issues with some younger tenants who see the building as an extension of... their frat parties and ransack building property. However, as the partiers leave more young couples and young parents are moving in. OHS is a wonderful building, conveniently situated to everything in the Navy Yard and Waterfront area. The only drawback - common to the SE DC area - is construction all around. This is a temporary situation and makes SE DC a more liveable safe area. Read More

Management is effectively non-existent , I have been begging for towels in gym for month. We have Toxic Gas coming from construction site next door . Its a related bldg phase two of OHS with toxic gas in soil, the smell unbelievable. Management don't walk property its dirty dog poop & pee in elevators, cleaning person use dirty mop that smells. Oh we have free coffee , when it works. Concierge staff don't speak or left head to say good morning or hello. 5 star not even close to one star

One of the most beautiful buildings in DC! However....you are practically living in a petroleum pit. Waking up to petroleum fumes....in the apartment, hallways, lobby..... You'll spend more time avoiding the building than actually enjoying it.

This is a beautiful building with tons of nice amenities. However, Phase II of the building is being done on a former gas station on polluted land. Gasoline fumes invade the building. Stay away until a solution is reached next door!
