Doing your part and being a good neighbor by following these guidelines is greatly appreciated and helps keep our community a pleasant place for all residents.

Pool | Crest At Skyland

Pool Rules and Reminders:

Our pool hours are from 9am-8pm every night, making sure you have plenty of time to soak up the sun! Please note, there is not a lifeguard on duty, so please keep this in mind and swim at your own risk.

No Speakers at the Pool

  • We kindly ask that you do not bring speakers to the pool area. Our pool is surrounded by your neighbors, and noise carries! Excessive noise can disturb others, and we want to maintain a relaxing environment for everyone. So please, be considerate of your neighbors and be mindful of excessive noise!

Appropriate Swim Attire

  • Please ensure that you wear proper swim attire when using the pool. Undergarments are not acceptable as swimwear.

No Pets in Common Areas

  • Pets are not allowed in any common spaces outside of the Dog Park or Dog Spa. This is crucial for maintaining health and safety standards, especially around the pool area.

Smoke and Vape-Free Community

  • Crest is a smoke and vape-free community. This policy includes the rooftop and balconies.

No Glass on the Pool Deck

  • For safety reasons, glass is not permitted on the pool deck. Broken glass can cause the pool to be closed for cleaning, so please help us prevent this by using non-glass containers. Need some good ideas for pool-friendly drinkware? Check out our recommendations!

Supervision of Children

  • Children under the age of 16 must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times while at the pool.

No Stones or Rocks

  • Please refrain from bringing stones or rocks around or onto the pool deck. These can be harmful and difficult to remove, potentially leading to pool closure.

No Large Pool Toys

  • Due to the pool’s limited space, beach balls, rafts, and large floats are not allowed. This helps us accommodate as many residents as possible while adhering to occupancy guidelines.

Guest Policy:

Resident Accompaniment

  • All guests must be accompanied by a resident at all times. Each apartment is allowed a maximum of two guests. Please remember that residents are responsible for the behavior of their guests.

Retail Highlight at Skyland Town Center: Trek

by Daniel Moss

Retail within your community is an amenity that keeps on giving. Whether you have a grocery store, restaurants, or other services such as banks and pharmacies, it’s always such an added convenience to have these types of retain options at your fingertips. Fortunately, at Crest, we have all of this and more all within the community just steps from your front door! Today we are highlighting Trek, a globally known name in biking who has recently opened a retail location at the all-new Skyland Town Center.

trek-retail-store-crest-at-skyland-town-center

Trek At A Glance:

Trek began in 1976, when a pair of determined guys set out to make the best bicycles the world had ever seen. Their vision was grounded in unswerving principles: the product would be of the highest quality craftsmanship and it would bring the joy of cycling to a broader audience. They offer kids bikes-adult, even electric bikes which are increasing in popularity!

Trek In Our Community:

Washington DC has become an increasingly bike-friendly city in recent years. With the increase in population density, cost of parking, and cost of insurance, bikes and electric bikes are quickly becoming preferred means of travel within the city. Many of the roads in DC also have bike lanes which makes it easier for bikers to share the road.

Crest features an on site controlled-access bike storage as an amenity for your convenience

With this in mind, having a retail location within the Crest community that not only sells all kinds of bikes, but also offers professional repair services, is a valuable thing to have. As a resident of Crest, we have a controlled-access bike room just for our residents within the community, meaning you have a place outside of the apartment to easily store your bike. Trek’s Skyland Town Center location is also looking at other avenues of community engagement in the future such as community bike rides and the like. They even go the extra mile and provide some great recommendations for sight–seeing bike rides through Washington DC!

For more information about Skyland Town Center’s Trek location, you can reach out to Keith Jackson, Store Manager, at keith_jackson@trekbikes.com, check out the Skyland retail store’s website, or stop by the store. Trek is open Tuesday-Friday from 11am-7pm and on Saturdays from 10am-6pm. Once you check out Trek’s selection, head over to Crest and find your perfect next apartment!

Two Bedroom E: Crest’s Featured Floor Plan

by Daniel Moss

Two Bedroom apartments can be hard to choose based on whether you prefer living space versus bedroom space. Fortunately at Crest, the only hard choice you’ll have with our two bedrooms will be choosing your favorite! Between the generous amount of square footage that translated into well distributed space, excellent storage, and outdoor space and all of the perks of living above the all new Skyland Town Center, it’s not hard to tell why we favor the Two Bedroom E.

Space and Value

When considering a two bedroom apartment, having space to accommodate your needs is essential. Are you someone who likes to entertain or someone who enjoys cooking? Or, do you prefer more space in the bedroom for that king sized bed? Whatever your needs, the Two Bedroom E floor plan has you covered. With 1039 well-utilized square feet, you’re sure to have plenty of room to host your friends and family to try your culinary creations without sacrificing square footage in the bedrooms. Another great advantage of living at Crest is that you’re sure to get the best economy for space around.

As with any apartment, adequate storage space is key. The two bedroom E floor plan includes all of the premium storage features such as massive walk in closets as well as a full laundry closet with folding table and storage above.

Aside from the storage, this floor plan also features great outdoor space.

On-Site Dog Run

Dog Running on Grass

Whether it’s after a long day at work, or you only have a few minutes between work calls from home, you’ll love the convenience of our on-site dog run. As a resident at Crest, gone are the days of having to walk city blocks in search of green space to walk your dog. Our turfed dog run is located on the second floor in a fenced in space perfect for your furry friend to let off some energy. Additionally, the turf allows your furry friends to “do their business” complete with a bag station and receptacle for waste, making it so convenient for those before-bed outings. The dog run is cleaned regularly ensuring that your furry friend has a safe and healthy environment to explore. Another added bonus of the dog run is not only for your dogs to make friends with other dogs to run out their excess energy with, but it’s also a great place to meet your other pet parent neighbors.

No Pet Rent?!

Yes, you read that right–at Crest, there is no pet rent. At most communities throughout DC, you’re subject to an additional monthly pet rent (typically $50-$75 per month!). We pride ourselves on being truly pet-friendly, and we believe your furry friend should be able to live comfortably without having to worry about paying their own rent (we hear that the dog food modeling industry is quite saturated!).

Convenience, Convenience, Convenience

Hand Putting Dog Treats on Bowl

Noticing a trend here? At Crest, we believe convenience should be part of your living experience, and that includes within your daily life. Need a new dog toy or forgot to re-order that dog food? Not to worry–Lidl is just steps from your front door and has a well-stocked pet section that is sure to cover all of Fido’s needs at ‘suspiciously low prices’.

If you’re looking for a community that is truly pet friendly, look no further than Crest. Whether its the comfort of having your own community dog run, the value of putting a standard monthly pet rent back into your pocket, or the convenience of having all of your furry friend’s needs just steps away, we’ve certainly got you covered!

5 Reasons Friends Make the Best Neighbors at Crest

by Daniel Moss

Living in an apartment community can be both exciting and challenging. One of the biggest factors that can influence your experience is your neighbors. While you may not always have control over who lives next door, having friends as neighbors can significantly enhance your apartment living experience. Here are four great reasons why friends make the best neighbors in an apartment community:

Man Wearing Headphones Watering the Plant

Built-in Support System

In times of need, having friends living nearby can be invaluable. Whether you need someone to water your plants while you’re away or just want a friendly face to talk to, knowing your friends are just a few steps away can provide a sense of security and comfort.

Enhanced Sense of Community

Neighbors Playing a Board Game Together

Living in close proximity to friends makes it easier to plan impromptu get-togethers and social activities. From movie nights and game evenings to weekend barbecues, having friends nearby means you always have someone to share experiences and create memories with. It fosters a sense of community within the apartment community, making it feel more like a home.

Convenience and Accessibility

borrowing grocery from neighbor

Need to borrow some sugar or milk for your morning coffee? With friends as neighbors, you can simply knock on their door without feeling like you’re imposing. The convenience of having trusted friends nearby means you can easily share that cup of sugar, and lend a helping hand whenever needed. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Spontaneous Adventures

Having friends as neighbors opens up opportunities for spontaneous adventures and outings. Whether you’re looking to shake up the monotony of your weekly routine with an impromptu dinner in the Fuji Steakhouse & Sushi, treat yourselves to a pedicure at Skyland Nails and Spa, or simply hang out and shoot a game of pool in the club room, the proximity of friends makes it easy to seize the moment and make the most out of everyday life.

Resident Referral Bonus

At Crest, we believe the best communities are made up of friends. As an added bonus, we offer a generous referral bonus to every resident whose referred friend moves into the community! This way, you can celebrate your friends’ move with a celebratory dinner or night out. Please note, this offer is for a limited time and subject to change without notice. We recommend speaking to a Leasing Consultant to understand the terms and conditions.

In conclusion, friends make the best neighbors in an apartment community due to the built-in support system, enhanced sense of community, convenience, spontaneous adventure, and of course, Crest’s generous Resident Referral Program. Cultivating strong friendships within your apartment community can not only enhance your living experience but also foster a sense of belonging and camaraderie that transforms neighbors into extended family. So, if you have a friend that is looking to move, why not make them your neighbor at Crest?

Featured One Bedroom Floor Plan: 1-F

by Daniel Moss

If you’re looking for a unique floor plan that maximizes functional space, look no further than the 1-F Floor Plan! This layout is a refreshing departure from the standard modern “square shaped” layouts that you see in a lot of new apartment communities. While the layout has some personality, it does not come at the expense of functional space. Join us as we explore the uniqueness of this layout, and read on about why the 1-F floor plan might be your perfect apartment home.

1F-Floor-plan-at-Crest

Anything But Standard

One of the standout features of this one bedroom apartment is the unique shape of the layout. A departure from the traditional square shape, this floor plan features a wide angled wall in the living space, giving an incredible feeling of openness in the relatively modest 645 square feet. A corner-set kitchen still offers the functionality and counter space that comes standard in all of our apartments, but gives a different aesthetic. Whether you’re the consummate entertainer who hosts dinner parties, or someone who likes to spread out when working from home, the added width of the space leaves plenty of space for a dining table.

Customizability

With a unique layout comes unique options for furniture and décor. The wide angle wall in the living room is the perfect gallery wall if you’re looking to feature your pictures or art pieces. If cozy is your goal and you want a one bedroom apartment that will still accommodate an oversized sofa, then this is the floor plan for you. The open design also provides an airiness that makes it feel much larger than the actual 645 square feet.

Assorted Paintings

Storage

Modern wardrobe with white drawers full of different casual wear with brown leather bag

As with all of our apartments at Crest, the storage is exceptional. If you love to cook and want to store your kitchen appliances and cookware, you’ll love the kitchen storage. If you’re a lover of clothes and need space to store an extensive wardrobe, the walk in closet is sure to have you covered. No matter what your needs, the thoughtful design of each of our apartments has you covered.

Modern Finishes

This one bedroom apartment also boasts modern finishes throughout, including stainless steel appliances, sleek cabinetry, and durable laminate-hardwood flooring. These features not only add a touch of elegance to the space but also provide a durable and functional living environment.

Sustainability

We designed the apartments at Crest with sustainability in mind, and the 1-F is no exception!
