Submitted by a verified resident of the apartment community. Participating residents may receive reward points in exchange for posting a review during their lease term, regardless of the nature of the review.The management is preparing to dive into a major renovation of our building. It is exciting to wait for the changes and improvements but nothing is as sure as the guarantee of great outcomes here. The staff of Metropolitan Apartments in Bethesda go above and beyond to be effective, professional, caring and helpful. I am sure that, in their hands, this big project will end very well.
