Decent apartment living

I lived at Strathmore House apartments for about 6 months, I had to break my lease because I was getting married and moving to another apartment. <br> <br>Overall, Strathmore House has unique floorplans, and the apartments are very spacious, well-located, and comfortable. <br> <br>I had a 5 minute commute to the Glenmont Metro station in the morning, and 10 minutes home. There are grocery stores, schools and lots of other things nearby, but not really within short walking distance. <br> <br>I loved the layout! I didn´t think I´d be able to fit all of my stuff in a 1 bedroom apartment, but with the added den that comes standard on each apartment, I had plenty of room. The kitchen was lacking in counter space, but it was so nice to have the washer and dryer in my apartment. (They were brand new, too!) My apartment had wall to wall carpeting, not the parquet floors that some models had. I didn´t mind it, but I wish that the apartment above mine had been carpeted too. <br> <br>Noise was the biggest issue I had with Strathmore house. There was a very large family that lived above me, and I heard just about everything that went on in their home, footsteps, the treadmill they bought... even things they probably didn´t want me to hear. They also had a problem with their volume level on their music, which is something that I thought should have been better enforced by the management. It was certainly an unreasonable volume. If you´re looking for silence, either get a top floor apartment, or look for a place that has concrete in between the floors. <br> <br>Parking was bad, I lived at the end of a bunch of units, and would have to park far away if I came home late at night. (And being a single woman, I didn´t like having to walk a distance from my car late at night.) <br> <br>
