Huge apartments, great view, right across from the metro, and nice pool.

However, you also have to deal with terrible service from the management company. They are rude and unhelpful and do not make you feel like they value your business. Also, good luck getting anything fixed in a timely and effective manner. Some serious problems have included mold and mice. Another example is when locks were changed and we received 1 new key for 3 people.

Don't count on being able to work out in their "rennovated" gym either. There are 6 cardio machines which are always full (that's if they even have any keys left to get into the gym.) Not sufficient for a building of that size.

They advertise plenty of "free" parking but there are never enough spaces between all the apartment building tenants and the grocery store traffic. Finding a space can be a nightmare.

Overall, the close location to the metro and downtown Silver Spring is the best part, but it's still out too far from the city to justify ridiculously increasing rent prices. Many problems could possibly be overlooked if the management company invested in some customer service training for their staff.
