The actual building is awesome. I don't fear rodents or bug infestation like most DC area apartment buildings. I do fear the sleeping homeless people in the stairwells, but I've only come across them twice. The actual staff is not as cool. The concie...

I moved here in mid-January, and I'm loving the area right now. The building is just above a public parking lot that has controlled access to the apartment complex itself. The city workers also have patrols in public parking lots very regularly. It's...

I have really enjoyed living here. The location in Bethesda can't be beat. The maintenance staff is extremely courteous and helpful, as is the front desk staff. They have always tried to answer my questions, or find someone who could. It is a relativ...

I've been there for eight years, and never had any issues. The fire alarms were a problem at times, but lately has been fine. Service is good and the people working the desk are always helpful and professional. Excellent walls/noise control. I've alw...

I recently moved into The Metropolitan back in November. I have been satisfied with the price, location (right next to metro) and amenities. The staff is friendly and helpful enough, and I think it's a great place to call home.

Yes, it's nice to be in downtown Bethesda BUT if you're paying almost $2,000 a month for a one bedroom apartment, you don't expect to go to a workout room in the early morning and see a homeless person sleeping on a work out mat. The Metropolitan is ...

I really love it here. I've lived in the community for some time and the staff is wonderful and my apartment is beautiful. I've lived in other Bozzuto Apartment buildings and have experienced the same satisfaction.

Just reading these posts, hilarious. I don't work here, but I DO work in property management in Rockville and I like to listen to resident complaints in other buildings to make sure I can avoid these issues. It just seems like the same person is post...

The management is not that great. You need to ask them several times before you get a response. The staff changes alot so it is very inconsistent. Maintainence is also poor. The only good thing is the location.

I'm just curious because I lived that the Metropolitan and it wasn't bad at all. I was in apt 819. It was a large 1 bedroom with a good view. We were happily suprised to see brand new carpet in the unit when we moved in. The 8th floor was a quiet flo...

This area, building and community is great! I read some of these reviews and have to wonder that negative reviews come from people who truly believe they are above apartment home living and the people that live near them ~ you can't please everyone h...

I've lived here for 18 months (yeah, I renewed my lease, that was dumb) and am seriously considering breaking my lease. The walls are very thin (I hear my neighbor's phone ring every night), the garage is dark, management doesn't care about problems ...

You could probably find at least one bad review for every apartment in the United States. The problem is, peoples' opinions about a place depend largely on their individual experience and specific factors like where their apartment is in a building a...

If you don't care about the air you breath, the smells of trash, and rude management then this somewhat overpriced building may be for you. I'm leaving.

While I understand and agree wholeheartedly the concern for excessive loitering and noise that is seen around the apartment complex, and I am also opposed to the lack of management responsiveness to such matters, I am quite offended by the comments o...

Everytime someone has something nice to say about the apartment, this person comes back with a negative comment. It seems like this person is on the website everyday waiting for someone to post. I do live in this building and I like it. I don't hear ...

My wife and I have been in the Metropolitan for 1 year and just renewed our lease, we love the convenience, location, responsiveness of management. If something is broken and not fixed within 24 hours, rent is free for the day. That has only happened...

This place is not that bad. There are a lot of people in wheelchairs. Haven't noticed Section 8. Our floor is quiet and we never hear our neighbors. Our neighbors must not smoke either, because our floor never smells like smoke. My last apartment was...

I've been here since February 2004 and am very happy with my decision to live at The Metropolitan. The bridge from our courtyard to the metro makes my commute to DC so easy...and I love the bridge to Safeway. I've never lived in such a convenient loc...

Wow, I'm really surprised at some of these negative comments. I've been living here for 8 months and everytime I've had a concern, the office staff has been very attentive.

I've lived here for almost 4 years. Anytime I've ever had a concern or issue, the maintenance staff has been on it right away. The management is also very helpful.

Obviously not everyone can be happy. It seems like this rating source has very few comments from disappointed residents. I however, along with many of my neighbors absolutely love the staff here. They've been very courteous, patient with the demograp...

Since new management took over this place in the begining of 2004, it has been very hard to deal with the management and leasing staff. The previous comments about management lies and the number of nut cases in the building are very accurate. I have ...

A few months back I began by search for a new residence. Bethesda seemed to be a good place for me to move - area offerings and close to work. What I was not ready for was the attitude of most of the apartment building leasing staffs. After some g...

Be careful when signing the lease. We looked at an apartment that was very nice except for the carpeting, which was worn and dingy. We were promised that new carpeting would be installed before we moved in and that it was Bozzuto management policy to...
