| | | | Review Title: Good Place For Yupies | | | | | | Reviewer: Czechtranslator@comcast.net | | | | Review Date: 4/19/04 | | | | | | | Rate This Apartment | | | | | | | I lived at the Blair House for 5 years, moved out before they built a row of (nice, stylis, whatever traffic on Collesvile Rt 29 traffic soud muffing) townhouses. The location is great as far as 3 minutes from Red Line Metro, the above mentuioned Giant and completelly redone strip shoping center with nice Asian restaurant, drycleaners, etc. Discovery Channel building, about 5 minutes of leisure walk from the Blair House, in the very heart of Silver Spring downtown now dominates the area. And the Film Institute Theatre, a reto-buliding, stand in place of popular film theatre 50-70 years ago. You are also about 3 minutes from the edge of Rock Creek Park, as DC city line starts juts 60 years from the Blair House. Nice for jogging, family walks, further in part horse stables, tennis courts, great greenery inside of the city. Our apartment was 3 BR, huge square footage, 3 years ago, just when remodeling of the entire 12 story highrise was completed was about $1325, utilities included. Great (also large) swimming pool with nice setting, gazeboos, etc., small but sufficient fitness room. Compared to similar apartment living on convenient Metro location (i.e. really w/in walking minutes), such as Bethesda's locations, this is a bargain. Yes, you do not have the restaurants selection, no Nieman Marcus, etc., also not exactly for famiy with kids, but for childless couples, very good to great. Now we live in Columbia, MD, up notrth on Rt 29. A planned community, with INCREDIBLE offering of facilities for sports and recreation, everything done with human scale in mind (no poles with electric/phone wires, no ugly signs, great, great place to live. 24 outdoor pools, numerous great fitness centers, year-around indoor ice ring, etc. etc., lakes with jogging etc. paths, all for $49/month of family membership). Yes, we actually rent a room for a single F profesional here. aily commute with poshy coach bus, from the streetv corner right to the National Mall, with stops in between.
