We keep the good parts of shared housing while removing the annoyances. Members at Common enjoy the privacy of their own furnished bedrooms with access to community in beautiful shared suites and community spaces in their homes. From spontaneous get-togethers with your suitemates to curated events, Common makes it easy to build friendships and discover the best the city has to offer. Best yet, one all-inclusive rate covers your rent, weekly cleaning, laundry, property services and more.

Value: Common members save over $500 every month over a traditional studio apartment. Easy move-in day: Move-ins can take as few as 30 minutes thanks to keyless access and clear, thoughtful instructions from our Member Services team. An open invitation: As a member, you have access to the entire Common community, whether you’re on the east coast, west coast, or anywhere in between. Stay connected: Find out what’s happening in your home, or check in with members across the country. We use Slack to empower members to engage and coordinate plans with each other. Built for community: Every Common home has community spaces, perfect for a potluck meal, movie night, or book club with your neighbors.

Common - City living made better

Shaw “is in the midst of a renaissance,” brimming with microbreweries, world-renowned restaurants, shopping, and more. Located in central DC, our home in Shaw is convenient to everything the city has to offer, from Eastern Market, to the Smithsonian, White House, and countless museums and landmarks.

You’re just a nine-minute walk to the Shaw-Howard stop and two stops away from DC’s downtown. There, enjoy dinner at Barcelona Wine Bar or Le Diplomat both located on 14th.
