About this place The Huxley

The Huxley is an upscale gay bar and nightclub in downtown Washington DC. This place wants to be high-class. Think nightclub energy, but with a luxury lounge vibe. It's for people who want a more polished LGBTQ+ nightlife experience, and they clearly put thought into the look and the service. DC's gay bars run the gamut, but The Huxley aims for the elegant, upmarket end. You'll find a sophisticated setting, decent décor, and staff who seem to care. It's also a flexible event space, good for a casual night out or something more special. You'll find it at 1730 M Street NW, right in the middle of downtown. If you’re a local or just visiting and want something a bit swankier, this is it. For event listings and hours, huxleydc.com is your best bet.

I’m giving them five stars, mostly because of the incredible location and the amazing management team. Liza, the property manager, is fantastic. She is incredibly responsive, helpful, and informative. Every time I have a question or need assistance with something, she communicates clearly and tries to resolves it in a timely manner. Lyrik has also been super helpful and is always ready to answer questions or lend a helping hand. She is such a friendly face to see and always greets me with a welcoming smile every single time I walk through the lobby. The team here truly makes it feel like home. Highly recommend!

I lived at The Huxley for about 5 years, and overall I had a very positive experience living there. The building itself is in a great location, but what really stood out to me over the years was the staff and the people who help keep everything running smoothly. Liza, the property manager, was always responsive, professional, and understanding in all of our email interactions. Even though I did not get to know her for very long, she consistently handled communication in a thoughtful and efficient manner, which I really appreciated. Lyrik was always incredibly welcoming and informative whenever I came back into the building. She has such a positive smile and energy that genuinely made the apartment feel more like home. Small interactions like that really make a difference over time. Ray was always the friendly face I would see in the mornings. He worked hard keeping the property clean and always made the effort to say good morning. Those little moments of kindness and consistency do not go unnoticed and were appreciated throughout my time there. Matthew from maintenance always seemed on top of things whenever issues came up around the building. Although I did not get the chance to speak with him much personally, he came across as kind, dependable, and hardworking. Thank you to the entire Huxley team for helping make the last 5 years a good experience.

The staff has been great for the short time I lived here. Sydney, Dahzia and Elizaveta were always friendly and quick to respond to my concerns or questions. My only complaint besides the rent going up over $150 a month after the lease term was up, is the community coffee machine was always broken or needed attention. I did hear they were getting a new one though after I moved out so new tenants will appreciate that.

Avoid big corporate leasing companies like Holland LLC who own The Huxley. If you are not a low income MFTE renter you deserve better. MFTE renters do not partake in the shared sewer/garbage monthly bill averaging $270+ per month per non-MFTE house hold. Base Rent - shared sewer/garbage - and parking in a parking garage that was last broken into March of 2026 will cost you $2700 a month. Spend a little more and rent a house, where societies finest isn't mooching off of you. * The garbage shoots are a great idea until your hallway smells like hot garbage all the time. * The 4th floor always smelled of marijuana. * Maintenance like changing vinyl planks in the elevators took several months. My high heel got stuck in a lifted plank. * The common areas with the outdoor decks are poorly maintained, don't bother stepping in on July 4th. Absolutely filthy, garbage everywhere, heat trapped in. * Units don't have AC but you can rent one for extra $$ * Do not rent on the side facing the road. It is loud at all hours. Honking, drifting, music, moving trucks, garbage trucks. Non stop. You will never rest. And you need rest. You're paying $3000 for a 1 bedroom! * There is one way in and one way out of this hell hole. Traffic during peak hours is catastrophic. * When you move in they don't charge sewer/garbage for a few months. When you leave they mooch off of you and keep your security deposit as back pay. They're aggressive and money hungry. * I had to ask them several times to paint the wall in the photo I will insert. They treated me as if they were doing me a favor. They don't repaint the walls or hire professional cleaners between renters. Shameless and greedy. * Thin walls, you can hear your surrounding neighbors. * Stores and workout facilities are within walking distance, however so are homeless who are slumped over, purple in the face nearly dead, high out of their minds. They run the neighborhood when the sun sets, you are not safe. Go pay Bellevue prices in Bellevue. I paid two months worth of rent + a remainder of a month breaking a lease. Over $6000. Choose better than I did!

I have never had an experience like the one I am having here. I recently moved from Phoenix, AZ. It has been a hard transition and I didn't know the different areas very well. I chose this property because it was central to everything and I could walk to different places. I was really excited to be here but it just hasn't been great. First, this property has a lot of smokers which gets into your unit. Aside from the occasional chain email to all tenants (instead of addressing who is actually doing it) nothing is done about it. It clings to the hallways and gets into units. Second, there are few amenities. I don't really care about the amenities but it is rather odd given the price tag for living here. There is not even a small gym. Third, there are electrical issues in the building. My power flips off almost every evening while I am sleeping. I have spoken to other people, including someone on the leasing staff who works in the building, and this issue is happening in more than one unit. They blamed me and gaslit my concerns about safety. They told me to put my appliances away. I have unplugged them but it did not change the issue. Forth, I have had multiple issues with my washer. In one instance, it flooded because I guess a previous tenant had gotten bottle caps into the hoses and it eventually caused a flood in my washer area. It ruined my new uggs. They refused to replace them and told me I had to go through rental insurance. Clearly, they don't cost enough to get anything from rental insurance which they know. I know that this was not me because I don't drink anything that has a bottle cap. I am strictly a coffee and tea girl. Fifth, another unit opened up that is larger and would cost less for me because I would no longer have to rent their TINY storage unit. I was denied the unit because I recently started working as a substitute. This is something that has increased my income $1000 a month. I had to leave my last school because it was a very bad work environment and this one is more stable. The last school I worked in often didn't pay us! Since substituting is not a contract role they will not count it as income. I was absolutely devastated and received the typical gaslit responses. They will consider snap benefits, unemployment benefits but they won't accept that I work EVERY DAY as a sub in Seattle public schools. I have always rented from individuals rather than corporations and I regret going with a corporation who doesn't see us as humans and won't look at a valid form of employment as income. I have lived here 6 months and never been so much as a day late on rent. When I switched to subbing I let them know three weeks ahead of time that I might be one day late for rent. That is how careful I am to make my payments and be a good tenant. I am embarrassed by how sad this has all made me. I have PTSD and they made me scared that nobody will rent to me as a substitute. Update: I wanted to update that Liza has been really helpful. I know that I was being very difficult as I tried to understand why they would deny me for an apartment that would be cheaper than my current one. I have been so distraught about this situation and she really has tried to help me which I appreciate. I still wish that this company could do better for its current residents. They were denying me for this apartment and at the same time raising my rent on the other apartment that I reside in. It seemed kind of cruel timing.

I recently toured The Huxley, and it was honestly our dream apartment! Even though it doesn’t have a ton of amenities, the huge party room really stood out. The building is pretty new, and the units are modern, spacious, and beautifully designed. Parking in the garage is limited, but there’s plenty of street parking nearby. Katie, the leasing manager, was amazing to work with—so kind, genuine, and never pushy. She made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. The maintenance team also seemed great; you can tell they take a lot of pride in keeping the building in top shape. We ultimately went with another place, but The Huxley definitely left a great impression!

I have love living at the Huxley! Everything is fixed quickly and the staff, especially Sydney, are so friendly and helpful! It was a joy chatting with her at the end of the day when I passed the office on my way to my apartment. She will really be missed!
