This apartment is really good if you are in a tough spot and can't get approved for any other places or you're someone who doesn't want a roommate, but can't afford the price of a 1 bedroom w/ utilities. I have lived here for a year and after being told by the apartment manager that because the complex has rent control the price would never go up, I received a notice that my rent is rising from $995 to $1,038. This place is not worth that price so I will be moving. Pros: - Amazingly responsive staff. Property manager is very nice and always responds. Maintenance request are resolved almost immediately. - The grounds are well kept - It is quiet. Strange because with this area you wouldn't expect it, but I think most of the tenants are seniors. - The walls are THICK - Water pressure is very good - The space itself is quite large for one person or one person and a child - Very close to the Eastover shopping center, the P12 bus and the A4(?), 495, & 295. I don't think my travel time has been longer than 30 minutes and that's to go to Silver Spring/Takoma Park. - Free parking & monitored parking lot - No utilities Cons: - AC/Heat. Because this is an old building they do not have central AC or heat. The AC units are fine. They make the apartment freezing cold which is lovely. The radiators used for heat, not so much, last winter, even though they bled all my radiators, I still had to keep my oven open for about 3 hours to actually warm the apartment enough to take my hoodie and sweats off. Also because the AC units are in the windows, these windows do not open. So I cannot open my bedroom window in case of an emergency (AC units are screwed in) nor my dining room window. Kitchen window, living room window, and bathroom windows all open. - Walk-up. This is not a major con for me because I'm young and also knew this when I chose the apartment, but for them to be raising the rent to $1,038 as a walkup and the Milano's rent is $1,060 and they have an elevator they are trippin trippin. - No amenities. Again, I was fine with no amenities previously because this was the place with the lowest rent in the area I wanted to live and I didn't have to pay utilities, but with them raising the rent you would think they would begin offering some type of incentive to rent here. Compared to places, that are less than 5 minutes away, that have elevators, trash disposal services, pools, community centers, laundry facilities IN your building, etc etc for less than $100 more, I really do not see the benefit to choosing here over another place (again, unless you knowingly can't get approval) - Laundry facility. There are only 2 buildings for laundry and neither is an available complex so you must carry your laundry outside and back. Coin operated. Takes about $8 to wash & dry 3 loads of clothes. -You will need to have this place professionally cleaned before you move in. Update: No more roaches!!!!, but it is the end of December and I have no heat. I’m forced to use my oven to heat my apartment which is dangerous. Luckily I’m moving soon 🙌🏾.

Very unprofessional put in an application a month ago for this complex, kept getting the run around by Ms. Williams stating if my application was approved or denied had to call almost everyday to see what was the status of my application still no response she told me to call corporate I did still no response I just gave up next time Ms. Williams please be professional about someone’s rental application and not give them the run around wasted a 50 dollar application fee because of your unprofessionalism.
