I am surprised at the number of bad reviews on here. Maybe I was lucky in my dealings with the apartment? But it is an apartment. Keep in mind, a lot of the bad reviews on here are based on security deposits not being fully refunded. There are good things and bad things about this apartment. Like any other. I had a 1 br. The rent jumped a lot after the first year. Make sure you discuss that before renting here. For me it was a shock but I was able to manage it. But my first year was below their 'normal' monthly rate and I think when I renewed it was to correct that. When I first moved in, there were live bees coming into the apartment. We weren't able to find out from where. Since my then fiance was allergic to bees, this was a big concern. They were slow to fix it, and the exterminators first 'fix' didn't solve the problem. One night while eating dinner in my chair, a bee fell into my bowl. They were dropping from the vent in the ceiling. The exterminator was only then able to solve the problem completely. Speaking of bugs, they can be a nuisance. Box elder bugs seem to be slowly infesting the apartment. We were killing a few a day coming inside. Since we were moving soon we never called about it. But every call to maintenance we got a fast response. Always very polite, good to fix things, and always refused tips. :) Neighbors are quiet. If you have an upstairs neighbor you hear their walking above you as if they were stomping. And if they are on their balcony, you will hear them LOUD and CLEAR in your apartment. A lot of Indian neighbors here. But I will tell you its a great community of people. Very safe in here and people keep to themselves. The jogging trail is great. 2 miles around and very nice. Their are also a couple retention ponds near lake cook that have a lot of bass in them. :) But again, it's safe. I walked around this in the middle of night plenty of times and never worried about people here. My car was also never touched my whole time here. Parking is fine and well lit. Staff has always been nice. They were always good to deal with. They have parties for the residents a few times of year. These are a great perk. All you can eat food & beer! And we have won a few nice raffle prizes. I will miss these the most lol! The pools are nice. My wife and I liked them because we could go in the evening and usually have the pool to ourselves. No lifeguard, swim at your own risk. But it felt like our own little private swimming pool. We did not have a washer dryer in our unit. But it was right outside our door. Not cheap and a lot of times we were fighting our neighbors for the 1 washer. I didn't get my full deposit back. Like most on here. But I got something back. What they did charge me for didn't seem too outrageous. And they do supply pictures and invoices to back themselves up. I guess if you care a great deal about your security deposit, you keep your place pristine. Hard to do... I would have loved to stay here. But their 2br are outside of my price range. We have a baby and she needs to have her own room. I will miss this place. And I recommend this place to anyone. It's not perfect but it was home to us. Thanks Green at Chevy Chase!
