Recommended Reviews
I'm not compelled to write reviews often, but after seeing the recent low reviews and also knowing how hard it to find a decent apartment in (around) the district, I have decided to give my 2 cents to give a better picture of this complex. I have lived at the Portico for about 11 months and have had an excellent experience. PROS: -literally a 2 minute walk to the metro -the interior and exterior is always clean -Maintenance, on average, attends to my requests within 2-3 hours of me submitting it -Office staff is friendly (and I pester the hell out of them) -They deliver packages to/inside your apt. (with your permission) -Quiet for the most part. Of course you will hear city sounds (metro, dogs, sirens) -Close to everything in DT Silver Spring CONS (mine and addressing others I have seen): -Parking is extremely high like $160 or something (Fix: I park at the Montgomery County parking garage around the corner and pay $123 saves me $20 and I get a little exercise) -No pool -There are rats that live behind the McDonald's in front of the building (Fix: Look where you are stepping and hustle up the stairs for 5 seconds you encounter them while they scurry away from you. If its a huge issue, walk the extra 30 seconds past the Mcdonald's to the stairs next to 7-11 and avoid the issue completely) -Sometimes, mostly on the weekends, a few people will congregate outside to hangout or smoke (I've never witnessed anyone drinking). (Fix: Mind your business. No one is preventing you from entering or exiting the building. Also a lot of the renters here are young so people hanging out outside is bound to happen. Long story short: There is no way this place could get a 1 or even 2 star review. Its a solid 3 due to it being more than liveable and in a prime location, but I'm rating it a four because I have had a great experience with only minor issues that I can look past. Was this review …?
