The Silva

I recently had the pleasure of touring The Silva and was blown away by the experience! Kendra was absolutely fantastic—her amazing storytelling skills made it so easy to visualize oneself living in the community. She really brought the property to life in such a unique and welcoming way. The Silva itself is beautiful and full of thoughtful touches. I loved how they partner with local artists to showcase their artistry throughout the property—it gives the space so much character and a true sense of community. The on-site coffee and bakery shop is such a great perk, but what really took it over the top for me was the rooftop. The 360° view of the DMV paired with the lush greenery and landscaping felt like stepping into a magical forest above the city. If you’re considering a new place in DC, I highly recommend touring The Silva—you’ll not only fall in love with the property but also appreciate the amazing team behind it!

READ MINE!! There is not a better place to live in DC than at The Silva. I can say that with confidence because I myself have lived here for 3yrs and I do not plan on moving to any other place in the city. Compared to other apts, The Silva has a spectacularly mature and respectful community. When you come to visit you will get the pleasure of a warm welcome from either Steven or Kendra, both in the office. They have this beautiful way of embracing you in conversation as if you are long time friends reconnecting after a while apart. That feeling is not something you find very often, if at all, when you enter into an apt building. What is priceless about that is that it is genuine! The staff here genuinely wants to take good care of you. Service team too, Mike is the go to guy around here being that he has been here since the opening of the place. Who could possibly know the building better than he does? It is also really helpful that he, as the Service Manager, is friendly to pets as he is a pet owner himself so he gets it. I never have to worry about my cat being freaked out when he has to stop by for maintenance. Besides that being the inside scoop, this place is freaking gorgeous!! From one side of the rooftop you can see the airplanes taking off and landing all the way at DCA in VA, the Washington monument, and the US Capitol building. On the other side you can see into east and west into MD. The neighborhood of Adams Morgan is up on a hill compared to the more southern neighborhoods of the city so we tend to get slightly less humidity and more breezes living here. That is also one of the reasons for the impeccable views! I could go on and on about why I love my home here. I you are looking for a place to live you have to come check out this wonderful community. Best of luck to your competing searches, as they won't stand a chance against The Silva!

It’s been great living at The Silva! Especially grateful for a management and concierge team! Andres and Caryn are professionals and are so easy to work with, they are always understanding and empathetic. Also Jerrod and Sylvienne are amazing, they are always super nice, attentive, personable and helpful, they really make my day every time I communicate with them. One of my favorite things about living here, besides state of the art amenities, are events that are regularly being organized, such as dance classes, yoga and HIIT workouts, feels like the team really cares and always trying to come up with something interesting and create a community atmosphere. Thank you thank you thank you :)

We watched The Silva go up and as soon as floor plans were announced, we quickly selected our stunning top floor apartment with unobstructed west views, floor to ceiling windows, and a generous terrace. Like many of the residents have said, this concierge team and office staff are among the best you will find. It’s true that this rooftop has incredible views. The infinity pool is jaw dropping. There are 360 vantage points for the entire city. There is also a stunning courtyard, but it unfortunately has a bit of a rat problem. Mostly due to residents no closing the gate behind them. For residential gyms, this one is sufficient, but limited. And then there’s the restaurant/cafe/wine bar that never opened. And our lease term of 18 months, ends in April, this year. Quite frankly, the pool and looking out the window at the courtyard, are the two notable amenity features. There’s no common kitchen or event space, other than three small business rooms. The grills on the roof are great, but it’s a warm weather amenity. The amenity fees and the parking fees are significantly high. But, we have loved our apartment. The way this building has been designed is state of the art. Not only are the staff awesome, we have very quickly made wonderful friends here. Any of the negative aspects of this building are to do with the owners. They don’t seem to care about the residents. But I assure you, the staff do. Consistently. If you’re not looking for amenities beyond a seasonal pool, the Silva is a great place to call home. We will miss it. My four star rating instead of five is only related to the limited range of amenities, and the way decisions are made outside of the property. We were underwhelmed by the lease renewal process and were sold on having a cafe in the building that never opened.

I don’t normally write reviews, but listen—if you haven’t met Kendra and Kelly, you’re truly missing out. Honestly, they are a huge part of the reason why we decided to move forward with this place. Don’t get me wrong—I’m absolutely in love with everything about this building. From the stunning architecture to the thoughtful amenities, it’s a dream. And that 360° rooftop view? Breathtaking. But what really sets this place apart is the energy that Kendra brings. It’s the perfect mix of luxury, warmth, and genuine joy. She instantly made me feel at home. To be honest, I’m not even sure if this review is about how much I love the building, or how much I love Kendra and the light she brings to it all. Either way, you get the point—this place is special, and so are the people. We’re so excited to call it home.

Kendra Johnson the assistant property manager diligently ensures smooth operations. With a keen eye for detail, this individual addresses resident concerns promptly. Their organizational skills contribute to a well-maintained property. A friendly demeanor fosters a welcoming community atmosphere. The dedication of the assistant property manager is truly valued.

Kendra and the whole team have made our move to The Silva an amazing experience. From the warm welcomes every week as we measured and planned leading up to our move in to all of the personal support helping us get settled. We're very happy here with our new Silva family. The team has an approach to customer service that reminds of 4 and 5 diamond class resorts.

I love having made the decision to live at The Silva, It is a fantastic architectural work from every little detail. It is also a place where is a pleasure to live, the maintenance staff is very efficient, Andres and Caryn have been very professional, empathetic and kind. Also the concierge team is amazing, they make me and my family feel comfortable 24/7 especially Jerrod is one of the funniest and stylish people I've ever met ,always ready to give you a smile and a good vibe. The entire staff creates an atmosphere of peace and community that makes us feel at home. Thank you :)
