Great value, location, community
PROS: The price is very good for what it is. I got a renovated 1B1B which was in excellent condition with a very clean overall feel to everything. The balcony is very spacious and a pleasure to sit on. The agents were reasonably helpful but there were no major hiccups in the move-in process. The area is extremely convenient but is just far enough off the Rockville pike where you get some sense of a break from all the noise. Every other resident I have met has been very welcoming and we even... frequently exchange hello's. The storage lockers are very convenient although pretty small. There are ample and convenient guest-only parking spots which don't require any extra steps other than just having your guest park there.
CONS: You have to pay about $3.75 for a load of laundry which is lame, but not bad based on what other people pay in the area. In the first month I got two emails about vehicle break-ins which is concerning. There is a fob lock on the building door, and a weird electronic key lock on the unit door that auto-locks itself no matter what. It takes some getting used to that you can never step outside the apartment without your keys. I did an at-home test that came back positive for lead paint on the walls. It has clearly been painted over, but there is enough to react with the test solution.
