Finding Your Perfect Neighborhood

By: The Point at Silver Spring

Apartment Guide recently published an article guiding renters on how to find their perfect neighborhood when searching for a new apartment. This got us thinking – it is so important to know that your lifestyle meshes with the lifestyle of your future apartment building! Not only does it make living there more fun, but it makes meeting your neighbors and starting friendships that much easier.

According to Apartment Guide, here are the five things to consider when searching for your perfect apartment neighborhood!

1. Price Range: First and foremost, the price range should be well within what you’re happy paying each month. Even with a smaller budget, you can still find a place that suits you perfectly – don’t settle for anything less than what you’re comfortable with! At The Point at Silver Spring, our newly renovated apartment homes are available in varying floor plans and price points. This variety makes it easier for any renter to find the space that’s ideal for them in our apartment community.

2. Amenities & Attractions: The amenities and perks to living in a certain apartment community should appeal to you – after all, they’re there for your convenience! With such an array of amenities offered here at The Point, there’s no doubt you’ll find something that you’ll like. A luxurious rooftop pool, exclusive resident lounge, health club complete with updated equipment and yoga studio, gourmet coffee and so much more are all at the fingertips of renters!

3. Commute: With as many working professionals living in Silver Spring as there are, including residents at The Point, you can bet that transportation played a role in their decisions to move here. Just two blocks to the Silver Spring Metro station, The Point offers incredible convenience to professionals working anywhere in the DC Metro area. Additionally, our garage houses a number of our residents’ vehicles, making their commute to any of the area’s many employers simple.

4. Safety: Before moving to any new location, it’s a good idea to look into the safety standards held by your future apartment building. At The Point at Silver Spring, there is controlled access to our garage and building, ensuring that residents feel safe in our complex. Equally as important to consider is the crime rate in the surrounding city or town. According to Neighborhood Scout, Silver Spring’s crime index is 30% lower than the state of Maryland’s average, and is less than 52% of all cities in the state.

5. Home Size & Shape: Is the size suitable for you? Do you have enough space? Too much? Goldie Locks didn’t settle until she found exactly what she was looking for – and neither should you! At The Point, we have newly renovated studio, one- and two- bedroom apartment homes. With such variety, you’re bound to find your next neighborhood at The Point!
