The Lauren is a 10-story condominium built in 1973, located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, DC. Predominantly configured with studios and one-bedroom units, the building mixes classic 1970s bones with periodic mechanical and façade updates; common-area work cited in listings includes upgraded electrical service, HVAC, and replacement windows. Individual residences typically feature parquet or wood floors, efficient galley or eat-in kitchens, built-ins and generous closet storage, and finishes ranging from original details to renovated kitchens with quartz and stainless steel. Shared facilities emphasize urban convenience and social spaces: a staffed 24-hour front desk/concierge, communal laundry, secure bike/storage rooms, and a landscaped rooftop deck that includes a swimming pool, gas grills, seating and skyline views. Exterior attributes include extensive hardscape, exterior lighting and accessible sidewalks; some units have assigned or rental garage parking. The condo association often covers utilities (water, gas, electricity) in the monthly fee, and pet and guest policies are managed by building rules. Located two blocks from the Dupont Circle Metro (Red Line), the building offers immediate access to restaurants, markets, parks, cultural venues and a highly walkable city lifestyle.
