Alright - time to review this rating since I have been here for a while. When we first came: Amazing property manager, amazing concierge person, amazing maintenance guy. After 12 months - lost all 3. No idea about the property manager since I have never seen her around but although I signed a 24 month lease, I got a letter for renewal asking for an increase for a good couple of hundred dollars. It is either a tactical move to see if people would notice or if it is a get away with the promotion trick . The new concierge people are still pretty amazing. They are all welcoming but it is not a 24 hr concierge. Maintenance guy is also a nice guy and pretty responsive.

- WALLS SHAKE in this place when people walk upstairs. OR if you have a neighbor (like we do) who blasts music during weekend nights, then you hear and feel every single time that bass hits. Also I can tell when my upstairs neighbor plays catch with the dog, vacuums, turns on the food disposer etc. In the bathroom you can also tell when they are utilizing the bath vs taking a bath to every single detail.

- FAR FROM METRO - although it seems like an OK walk to the metro, it is far far away. The steep hill walk does not help either. It is not a bad walk during fall or spring. But if it is too cold or too hot or rain/snow, then it is very painful.

- CAR NOISE - Route 50 is right next door and it is truly loud. In the winter time when the windows are closed, it is not as bad. But during the spring, if you want a nice spring breeze, forget about it. Especially if it rained and the road is a little wet, the extremely loud tire noise will kill you and you will not be able to keep it open. There is not such thing as sitting in your balcony and listening to yourself for a few minutes to relax. It will beat you up with more noise and you will run back in.

Apartment still has nice finishes etc and although the settling structure seems to be an issue with a lot of people, I haven t had it that bad. It is just a few minor crack. Nothing the eye can see unless you look for it.

And it is DEFINITELY EXPENSIVE.
