Great place.

I have no complaints at the moment. Generally I am very satisfied with my stay. The gym we are supposed to have access to is closed because of reconstruction and COVID. They haven’t made any accommodations for that. Hallways occasionally smell like weed but it never smells in my apartment.

Lived here since my M1 year-- no real complaints. Not too far from school, rent is cheaper than living in DC... more space + free parking and utilities included

Great place

It’s nothing fancy but I share it with two students and we’ve lived there all three years. Plenty of living room space and it’s comfortable. The other residents are mainly young people and families, which is really nice. I’ve loved living here and would recommend it to anyone who wants to save money, and doesn’t need the luxury amenities other places offer.

Perfect living and study space

Very good experience. The staff is very responsive if things go wrong. The building is old but they replace the carpet, bathtub, and toilet seat/covers when you move in so it feels new. They also repaint the walls. My roommate had an issue with the ceiling of her bathroom leaking, but they came in and fixed it within 2 weeks. Other than that, they are very responsive to repair requests, mostly within a few days.

Good Place to Live

The management team is great and the service team is also very responsive with any issues we have. The neighbors are friendly, the building is very safe, and we are also within walking distance of downtown Silver Spring. The only issue we have had is a mice problem. The building is older and mice keep coming in no matter what preventative measures we take.

Reviewed by Howard Med Student living at Fenwick
Slower pace, smaller and safer than DC, but has all the same offerings. Ethnic restaurants, shopping, nightlife, nature trails, public transit, farmers market. Very diverse, aesthetically pleasing and walkable.
Reviewed by CUA Columbus Law Student living at Alexander House
There is a ton to do in downtown Silver Spring. The Veterans plaza area has great restaurants and bars. The farmers market on Saturdays is huge, and my favorite part of the weekend. Lots of young couples, and families.
Reviewed by AmericanU Graduate Student living at Lenox Park Apartments
I lived in silver spring since undergrad and have no complaints. Front desk does good job of not letting random people into building. You need key fob to access most areas of building so feels very safe
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Falkland Chase
There is a lot of green space, and the walk to the Metro station is really nice. It's quiet, which we really like.
Reviewed by Howard Med Student living at Silver Spring Towers
Right in the heart of DTSS so a lot to do and a lot of great restaurants.
Reviewed by CUA Law Student living at The Point at Silver Spring
It's only a five minute walk to the red line metro stop in downtown Silver Spring (which is only three stops from campus). As someone who does not have a car, it is in an excellent location as everything is within walking distance (although the bigger grocery stores like Giant and WholeFoods are a bit of a farther walk- about a half mile). The apartment is right around the corner from one of Maryland's Federal District Courthouses and a wonderful brewery that offers a lot of fun and safe outdoor dining options due to COVID-19. There is also a farmer's market in downtown Silver Spring's center shopping area every Saturday morning. The noise levels aren't too bad as the apartment is on a side street rather than the main roads in the downtown area.
Reviewed by Anonymous living at Georgia West
Pros: Across the street from a park and quiet neighborhood for children to play. The neighborhood is good for a quiet run. 7-11 across the street for quick snack and coffee runs. 5 minutes away from downtown for restaurants, shopping and movies. 5 minutes away from metro station. Grocery stores and mall within 10 minutes.
Cons: Traffic. elevated noise due to multiple high rises amplifying outside noise.
Reviewed by Washington DC Resident living at The Gramax
DT Silver Spring is very much a city. It's more diverse that DC neighborhoods tend to be, with people from everywhere, of all income and education levels and of all ages and life-stages. This makes for a pretty eclectic place. There are three grocery stores in walking distance (including a Wholefoods) and the Silver Spring metro and bus station (a hideous looking monstrosity) ensure you can get anywhere pretty easily. The train line can be pretty noisy when the freight trains come through, but you get used to it.
