I used these ratings when I first started looking at the Blairs. I was really impressed with what I saw and the only thing that disturbed me was the poor ratings this building got.
Well I decided to move into Blair Plaza and everything has been great so far. I have been here a month. This is not a long time but I have had no problems and have been very happy here. Everyday I reminded of what a convenient and comfortable place this is.
First, you can't beat the convenience. The shopping center is so close. The metro is so close. The beltway is easily accessible. The Blairs is also close to 16th st and georgia ave which both are helpful when trying to drive into downtown.
Second, the Blairs is comfortable. People are friendly here. The staff is extremely pleasant. I'm from NY and I'm not used to people speaking, maybe that is why. It's very quiet here too. But not a scary quiet. The blairs is located in downtown silver spring but its out of the way of the hustle and bustle of colesville and georgia aves.
Third, the amenities at the Blairs are excellent additions.The pool is great for those hot days. It's good to see that everytime I go there, there are people there. THere are lots of kids, but who cares. I was really impressed how there is "adult swim" times when the kids must take 15 min time out. Also, the gym in the building is great. I am an outdoors person. Rock creek park is so close too.
Fourth, this place is safe. I have come in and out at all hours of the day and night. Security patrols the parking lot constantly. Sometimes I have to park a little far (over in the Giant parking lot) but it's not so bad.
Lastly, the management is pretty good. I had a few minor problems with my apartment when I moved in. As soon as I notified management, they took care of the problems. They actually went above and beyond what I requested.

I think that's all about the Blairs, specifically Blair Plaza. It's a good move.

Gimme a break, this is SO OBVIOUSLY written by Blair staff. Just goes to PROVE how fake staff here really is, instead of posting these falsities why don't you actually DO SOMETHING about the problems that REAL PEOPLE post on here.

Get a life. I am not part of management. I just happen to be a happy resident. Also a graduate student so admire how articulately written the review is.

This review was clearly written by management. Didn't they realize it would be so obvious?
