Easy metro access

The apartment is in a great location in downtown silver spring. It is right across the street from the silver spring metro station and there is a Giant supermarket below the apartment. The apartment is very spacious, there is a very good gym in the building, and the price is very competitive for its location. It is only about a 30-35 minute commute door to door to Howard. However, management is not great. It takes multiple complaints from multiple residents before something is changed, and they are pretty slow at acting to fix an individual apartment complaint.

Amazing

We are still waiting to find out how we pay so little for our apartment. Yet to have a single problem and snow removal was faster than I could have imagined. We never want to leave and are kicking ourselves for not signing a twenty four month lease.

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.

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

There is a lot of green space, and the walk to the Metro station is really nice. It's quiet, which we really like.

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.

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.
