[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTW some buildings do not use realtors you have to apply online or in person. For example I walked into Long and Foster on East West Highway by Wisconsin Ave in Bethesda and was looking for building to rent close to that location. No mention of Topaz house which was two buildings only as apparently they don’t pay realtor commission. I found building on line and toured building and rented there. But a few buildings are like that. [/quote] How do you like Topaz House? It’s on my list. [/quote] The good and the bad. The good 1) units are larger than new units at same price point. Their 1,2,3 bedroom units are pretty big 2) has quiet grassy courtyard in middle of building 3) owners do voluntary rent control hence large amount long term tenants so not as transient 4) HS across street is nice for older kids. Bus stop elementary pulls into circular driveway moms and dads wait in lobby 5) 24 hour front desk 6) nice roof top pool 7) rents are pretty good 8) dry cleaner and gym in building 9) storage space available for free 10) biggest perk Utilities included. Heat, AC, Water, electric. Nice perk. Bad 1) A bit dated compared to new buildings 2) laundry in hallway on each floor 3) lower floors toward front of building facing east west highway more noise. 5) the walk to bars and restaurants on other side of Wisconsin a bit further walk I only lived on third floor but I faced Internal garden court yard and was quiet. I like that unlike some buildings on Wisconsin a bit set back. The Uber etc could drop off at door easy. Public parking garage around corner for guests. Also vamoose bus to NYC right there [/quote] Wow, that actually sounds really ... perfect! [/quote]
