My partner and I have felt safe and comfortable living in our 1-BR unit the past several years. We have not been bothered by excessive noise or smells from other apartments, and we appreciate that the building keeps common areas clean and safe. The value is manageable for two of us sharing a 1-BR, and the rent is more reasonable than some other places closer to Bethesda or further into DC (though the rent might still might be a little pricy for students/young professionals trying to live on their own). Management could be more responsive to general questions from tenants.

spacious apartments

HHW is a great complex depending on where you work. This was the main reason for our selection of HHW. It's a 5 minute easy walk to the Red Line Metro and very close to downtown Bethesda (short 5 min bus ride with spot just one short block away). The main downfall for me is the lack of interesting food/restaurant options in the neighborhood. It seems like everything here is a chain or too expensive. Some good, local, ethnic restaurants would be a nice addition. (Chad's on Wisconsin comes close). Also, the apartment complex has a nice mix of ages and demographics - lots of students, young couples, young kids, older adults, etc. The building is very quiet and well maintained. Everyone who lives there seems pretty nice and respectful.

Have been living here for 3 year. Excellent location for great price. It is close to stores (such as J.Crew, Banana Republic, Gap, H&M), grocery stores (Whole Foods, Giant) and restaurants (Lia's, Cheesecake Factory, Clyde's, PF Chang). Close to Friendship Heights Metro Station.

Nice apartment building, helpful front desk staff. Gym adequate but could use extra machines and is poorly lit due to its basement location.
Central location within close walking distance to the Red Line, nice proximity to the capital crescent trail. Con-nearby supermarkets are expensive.

This is a great place to live for students as well as families. It's so close to the metro, bus lines, grocery store, and many places to shop and eat out. There's a beautiful rooftop with lounge chairs and a pool. The management is usually very responsive to residents' concerns.As a student, the best part is probably how safe I feel walking home alone at night.

Overall, the location is ideal - 5 min walk to the Friendship Heights metro, with many stores nearby. It's great for those who want to live near DC but not in the heart of downtown. The food options in the area are limited and mediocre at best (lots of chains). The building is extremely comfortable and well maintained. Service requests are dealt with very rapidly. Our rent is fairly reasonable for the area, though we are on a lower level, with windows facing other apartments. It's extremely spacious (try finding a 1 bedroom that's more than 1000 sq ft -- it's not easy) I feel very safe in the building, and the amenities are nice, especially the rooftop pool in summer months, the basement gym and free storage room.

Safe feeling with fob entry and 24 hour concierge and maintenance personnel, pool on roof, great location 1 block from metro, restaurants and shopping. Parking garage renovations are finally done and monthly cost is less than other local garages. Guest parking policy and no Sunday move in are the biggest complaints

Highland House Apartments are AWESOME! Clean well maintained and in the best neighborhood. I've lived here for 2 and a half years with no problems at all. It is close to the grocery stores, walking distance from the metro and is very close to all the shopping.
