Good place to live

It's a nice place to live with roommates, or as a starting apartment. It has a pool and tennis court, which I never used. They have a gym that is kind of old, so that is a minus for me. People that work there are very nice and work effectively. Lots of parking.

My Review of Summit Hills

My experience at Summit Hills has generally been a positive one. When we first moved in, they had finished redoing the kitchen and it looked gorgeous and modern. Any problems that have surfaced have been dealt with quickly by the building manager. The living space is a decent size and allows for a good amount of furniture to be housed within. The bathrooms are pink and black, a style popular in the 1950s but appears very outdated today. Water and electric are covered as part of the rent agreement and there is a gym open 24-7 and a pool open during the warmer season. There are events run on the complex throughout the year and they offer a chance to socialize with the other residents. There is also an option to rent movies for free from the Gate House.

Happy Long-term resident

I've lived in Summit Hills for 8 years, in three different apartments, both with a roommate and with my husband. We stayed because the location is great (right near a metro and walkable to downtown Silver Spring) and Summit Hills is the best value in the area for your money. We have plenty of space, free parking, a gym, a pool, utilities included...

It's not a modern building, but the value is great.

Great for students and working professionals

Given the price and proximity to the metro and buses to downtown DC it is a great option for students and working professionals. The amenities are nice, including garden plots, pool, gym, playground, tennis courts and beach volleyball court. Great for pets, both cats and dogs, as there are also small dog parks in the complex.

Summit Hills

Summit Hills is decent, but it seems far from the city, even though it really isn't.

If only something this price existed in DC

It's been great living here. I just wish it was closer to work. I'm paying $700 for EVERYTHING! It's amazing.

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
Reviewed by GW Law Student living at Falkland Chase
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.
Reviewed by Anonymous living at Georgia West
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.
