Avalon at Rock Spring: Car Theft in "Secure Garage" (Not Recommending)

2009-12-14T12:36:52-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This apartment community appears, safe and secure on the outside but upon further inspection you will find it one of the least safe communities in the greater Bethesda area. Our car was broken into and dismembered for parts while parked in the garage. Other cars have met a similar fate ... [click to read full apartment review]

Avalon at Rock Spring: Love it so far, but the maintenance crew is a little clueless... (Recommending!)

2009-06-22T10:34:46-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I was very happy to move into Avalon @ RS this winter. It's a beautiful community, and I got the floor plan I'd been enamored with ever since I discovered them a couple years ago- as a student & lover of architecture, to me this particular floorplan is almost PERFECTLY ...

Avalon at Rock Spring: Great complex for children and teens! (Recommending!)

2009-05-07T10:04:14-06:00

From greatforlargerfamilies: These apartments are very accomodating for families w/ children and teenagers. There are lots of areas (including the ramps in the parking garages) where they bike and skateboard. We could use a little less noise and trash in the hallways, but I guess that's just how kids are!You have to ... [click to read full apartment review]

Avalon at Rock Spring: Horrible (Not Recommending)

2008-09-10T11:43:56-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This is by far the worst place I have ever lived. The management staff is imcompetent. As many have said, the turnover is extensive. The maitenance staff is even worse. They never fix things correctly the first time and it takes several calls to get them to come back. The ... [click to read full apartment review]

Avalon at Rock Spring: Not Great, but atleast okay (Recommending!)

2008-07-29T07:26:21-06:00

From prettywmn95: We are getting ready to leave Avalon at Rock Springs after living here for a year.

Avalon at Rock Spring: To much noise from above. A comprehensive review. (Not Recommending)

2008-07-18T11:28:47-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Without a doubt the major problem here are the thin walls (especially via the apartment above). As many others have said in the previous reviews, you can clearly hear every word being said in an adjoining unit and every step being taken in the unit above you. The noise from ...

Avalon at Rock Spring: Too Noisy (Recommending!)

2008-06-18T03:00:38-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I live here now and I cannot wait to leave. It is 3:30am and I am up for the third time this week because of the frat mentality of a few of the residents here. Some of these people work in the building in some capacity or another and feel ... [click to read full apartment review]

Avalon at Rock Spring: No hot water (Not Recommending)

2008-01-26T12:14:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We have not had hot water for several days, despite a maintenance visit (and still waiting another) in which we were told you can't have heat and hot water at the same time!!!! That is clearly unacceptable nonsense and violates basic tenants rights. Just to be clear, we did not ... [click to read full apartment review]

Avalon at Rock Spring: satisfied (Recommending!)

2007-11-01T13:34:50-06:00

From rudyhome: We have recently moved in here and I hesitate to write a great review as Avalon is indeed a wonderfully kept secret.The location could not be better.

Avalon at Rock Spring: Lovely place to live (Recommending!)

2007-09-24T14:19:18-06:00

From satisfiedbethesda: Don't believe what you read. Avalon is a lovely place with a premium living environment. You will NEVER find a building that is completely noise free but this is as close as you can get. The designs of the apartments are superb in that they carefully plan the bedrooms not ...

Avalon at Rock Spring: I won't be reknewing my lease (Not Recommending)

2007-03-22T13:56:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I disagree with one of the posters who state that this apartment is like living in a hotel.

Avalon at Rock Spring: Not the best, Not the worst (Recommending!)

2006-11-08T12:16:54-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The quality of the apartment I lived in wasn't bad at all. Carpets, appliances and rooms were clean. The walls/floors/ceilings are a little thin, but not as bad as some reviews might lead you to believe. Staff was friendly and helpful and I never had any gripes about the amenities ...

Avalon at Rock Spring: You can hear everything!!! (Not Recommending)

2006-11-04T14:37:43-06:00

From rspt88: These apts were built 2/3 yrs ago, but the construction is very, very, very poor. You can hear the person above flush the toilet, open and close cupboards/drawers, their bed creaking and even hear them peeing. You might as well be sharing your apt with them and sharing the rent! ... [click to read full apartment review]

Avalon at Rock Spring: Excellent except for garage problems (Recommending!)

2006-10-03T23:58:46-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Going on year two now. Maintenance and office staff in most cases are responsive and helpful -- there have been a few bumps here and there, but nothing worth mentioning.

Avalon at Rock Spring: Would NEVER recommend (Not Recommending)

2006-10-01T12:37:26-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place is FAR from a "luxury" apartment.

I should've known when my lease/apartment wasn't ready when I arrived with my movers. I waited for over three hours while they compiled my lease and cleaned my apartment. Carpet had stains from previous owner upon move in. BTW - my movers ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-09-24T07:48:57-06:00

2006-08-24T18:17:52-06:00

From -Anonymous-: After reading some reviews here we were a little worried about moving in but we had already signed the lease and have short-term plans for living here, so we went ahead.

Avalon at Rock Spring: Lots of problems, but doubtful the management will fix! (Not Recommending)

2006-08-11T22:50:08-06:00

From too_many_bugs: I really like the apartment, BUT . . .

The primary problem is lack of security. If your ideal life is locked in your apartment with the security alarm on, then you will love this place. However, if you want to go out after dark, I highly recommend against living here. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Avalon at Rock Spring: Poor Management, not luxury (Not Recommending)

2006-06-25T15:18:43-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Noisy, poorly kept and poorly managed but nice apartments. The interior of my apartment was nice and well kept. They don't work with you at all on anything.

Avalon at Rock Spring: not enough for your dollar (Not Recommending)

2006-05-23T13:00:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The fact that this Avalon is a luxery property is a joke. There are CONSTANTLY break-ins in the parking garages.

2006-04-25T10:24:07-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We found that with our dog, options in the Bethesda area were limited. Avalon, happens to be lucky in the fact that it has a 2 acre "dog-park" area of fenced in grass and trees caused by the fence along the road and the parking grage. That is proabably the ...

2005-06-30T20:46:19-06:00

From timemisspent: I made the mistake of moving to Avalon at Rock Spring in SEPT04. Chose the place because I have a dog and needed to be closer to my work.
