Good Condo/Apt. Name
I think I’ve finally found a classic. The Irving, located at Irving and Sherman seems to be a solid name. Now the Columbia Pristine seems like a really nice building but I just don’t get the name. Which name do you prefer the Irving or the Columbia Pristine?

Irving is definitely solid
Pristine just sounds like its trying too hard. Plus when it gets run down, the jokes would be endless…Irving is much better.
I love how all the old apartments on Connecticut ave are named “The ___[name of cross street]” e.g. the Brandywine, the Albemarle. The Irving or just Irving — even better! I wonder if those old names are already taken, though? New developers may not have the right to use them?
My new least-favorite condo name is “Sidney on the Avenue,” the new building on Georgia Ave between Lamont and Morton. Ridiculous, but at least there are about 8 units. The silliest thing is naming 2-unit buildings.
Only “Quality Investment, Inc.” would develop “The Columbia Pristine”.
hey DC Liz. i completely agree… Sidney on the Avenue is soooooo stupid. and does anyone know WHY someone would give a 2-3 unit rowhouse conversion a name… its very nouveau riche.. “oh honey look the suchandsuch… that sounds nice”
I use Columbia Pristine to clean my shower stall.
Herb…. nice!
I was walking by the Columbia Pristine the other day and didn’t know what the heck it was – I thought it was some sort of not-for-profit or small company…didn’t think of it as an actual condo building name!! Stuuupid.
I just walked past The Foster on 15th. Don’t like that one so much.
This place is trying so hard to be SoHo and Park Ave, it is sick. Keeo DC as unique Dc
