Georgia West Apartments

The apartment is located a quick 5 minute walk from Downtown Silver Spring, as well as the metro station. It is situated across from a park. The management company does an excellent job dealing with any issues in a timely manner, generally the same day. The building is always kept clean and tidy. Water and Gas are included. Electric and Cable are not included. Two options for parking, upper and lower deck not included. There is a county parking garage at the end of the street where your visitors can park free in the evenings and on the weekend. We have a laundry room, pool, business center, party room, and small gym. No pets or smoking allowed in the building. No storage units.

Lovely terrace, great neighborhood!

We have loved making Georgia West our first home living as a couple together. We feel that we receive a great value in terms of the space and conveniences we have for the amount we pay. Silver Spring is a great neighborhood, with plenty of restaurants and things to do, but we are also conveniently located near the metro for the nights when we'd rather head into DC.

Wonderful Home, few amenities

This apartment is a wonderful deal for the price. Love our spacious one-bedroom with its cozy carpets and beautiful back patio that we enjoy whenever the weather is nice! My favorite feature is the amount of storage space between the bedroom closets, hallway closet, and kitchen pantry. Plenty of room for 2 people and all of their things. If you are someone who wants a lot of amenities, this may not be the building for you. There is a pool open during business hours during the summer months, and a small fitness center that you have to reserve in advance to use, which is fine for our needs, but may not suit others. Overall we've had an excellent experience here and will likely stay as long as we can.

Getting around Silver Spring


Silver Spring Reviews

66 reviews
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.
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.
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.
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.
