The acoustics are probably the biggest problem with these apartments - the joists sound like they are made of 2X4s! No matter how quiet the upstairs neighbors try to be you can hear EVERY movement. We also had a problem with a neighbor who was angry that we parked on her side of the building. I have two small boys and parking on the same side as the apartment was a safety issue - she told me to 'move your f**** car, you don't live here!' Charming! That said, I lived there for 8 months, paid the additional one months rent (willingly) to move out early, left the apartment immaculate, always paid the rent on time, gave notice, essentially we were good tenants (I own some rental properties,I know what good tenants look like). Upon moving out we requested a walk thru, but they said to just leave the keys at the office which my husband did. Later, they hit us up with an ozone treatment for $100 for pet odors, but we DON'T have pets. I took photos to show we left the apt. spotless, but the collections agency - yes collections agency asked if I have proof there were no odors?......So was this some kind of personal petty retribution on the part of the office staff? It's not a luxury apt., some of the other tenants lack civility and I would NOT recommend Silver Spring Apts. Look elsewhere.
