Silver Spring House

I’ve been living here a month and it’s awesome. The location is the best, and it’s very quiet. Best of all is Kimberly, the property manager. She is always available to help, and seems to really care about any issues. Hurray!

This is one of the best values in Montgomery County. You will not find anywhere else with 2-3 bedroom apartments with hardwood floors, new appliances, free parking, and patios or balconies at these prices in the highly-coveted downtown Silver Spring area. The property is well-maintained inside and out. It is generally very quiet although many children live in the building. The most noise I ever hear is the Ride On bus announcing stops, but it doesn’t run overnight.
The manager is professional… yet warm. She has always responded promptly to my questions and concerns and, when needed, will follow up to make sure I am aware of next steps. There is preventative pesticide application, but it is scheduled with several days advance notice to tenants. However, if anyone who sees pests in between those scheduled visits should let her know.
We’ve been tenants for two years and have no plans to move. It’s an ideal location if you want urban living in Montgomery County without either paying luxury apartment prices or sacrificing comfort and safety. I know several residents who have been happy here for a decade. Read More

I have been living here for two years. Within a year, we started having a lot of problems here. The hallways always smell like burned food combinations and cigarettes. There’s all types of bugs everywhere. Property manager is never in the office or is found outside walking her dog or smoking. When she is in the office, she’s very rude to you and make you feel very uncomfortable. The building looks like crap in the inside. I’ve called for maintenance to come paint my apartment almost three months… ago and I still got no response to it. Mind you, it hasn’t been painted since I’ve moved in. People are very loud all day and night. People throw parties very late at night. You can hear anything from the other floors from the air vents and hear a lot of fighting. Also, rent keeps going up like crazy but we see no improvements at all within the property. I would not recommend anyone to move in this apartment. Read More

I decided to write my review as a response to some of the misleading feedback left here about the property and personnel running it.

If you’re looking for a space within 10/15 minutes of walk to/from Metro and Downtown and stay in nice quite residential area surrounded by the great parks and walk trails – this is the place.

It should be mentioned that the unit is pretty good sized and well lighted thanks to the good big windows installed in it. For me it was one of another reasons and factors… to choose that property as my residency here in Silver Spring.

As of the periodic maintenance work performed on the property by the staff running the shop. I believe that it is a very good sign that people responsible to do so, do actually care and invest their efforts to maintain the place in good shape and keep it running well. Seen the opposite and know when it is not the case.

As a conclusion and free advice - come over, look around, walk around, talks with residents and check the surroundings in order to get the true sense about the place. You’ll like it. Read More
