I have been a resident of the Metropolitan at 7620 Old Georgetown Rd., Bethesda for about 5 years. The Metropolitan recently welcomed a new Manager who is making great improvements to the quality of life and service to residents. The Metropolitan is ...

I use this as a second residence when I work in Bethesda. It is a comfortable place. The location is the big draw for me; Safeway directly across the street, haircuts downstairs, metro around the corner, reasonable parking garage downstairs, and plen...

I've been living at the Metropolitan for quite a few years. The location is extremely convenient, being across from the Safeway and also across from the Metro. The Metropolitan used to offer superb amenities and services until a few years ago. At tha...

First of all, I will reiterate one point that has been made in other reviews - the Metropolitan has a perfect location. Two skywalks straddle the central courtyard area: one leads to the grocery store and the other leads to the metro transportation s...

Super convenient location right by the Metro. People complaining about the residents are obviously very sheltered and spoiled, and would be better off staying in the gated communities they came from. The current management team seems to be doing a ve...

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.

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.
