We have been living here for 6 months so far, and this is our experience:

Very attentive staff, good maintenance, new appliances in apartments (refrigerator, electric kitchen w/ oven, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer, bathroom). It has a gym (not a big one, but it is fair), and a compyer center (computers are not always very fast).

It seems to be safe (we have not suspect any issues, although we received a notification to be careful b/c there was an assault a few weeks ago). Neighbors are nice (although a few months ago there was a neighbor in the upper apartment that yell almost every night-I think she left).

The location is good (you are in walking distance to an Amish Market, blockbuster, CVS, Outback Steakhouse, and other stores, and a few minutes in car from different grocery stores, banks, public library, shopping centers, postal office and the highway 270). Average Distances: DC: 40 minutes, Silver Springs: 25 minutes, Reagan & Dulles Airport: 45 minutes, Baltimore: 50 minutes, Virginia: 30 minutes.

We haven't had any problems with the electric bills: during winter we paid $130 as a most. The apartment is not luxury, but is not a gettho. It is average. It seems to be a little pricey, but that is the average price in this area. It is still less expensive than Silver Spring, Rockville, or DC.

Of course, if you are late, you will not find a parking in front of your apartment. But you always find a parking, and you should not walk more than 1 minute between parking and your apartment.

Our only complaint in here is that you can hear what is happening in other apartment (using the shower or the washer/dryer), and the floor creak in some parts of the apartment. However, I think it is very common in the different apartment complexes in the area, and you can revise completely the apartment you are willing to rent BEFORE leasing.

Overall, it is a good place to live. The staff take great responsibility to fix any problem you may have.
