Speaking of parking, there is off-street parking, two spots for each condo right out in front with more in back. Parking can be "piggy backed" so even your guests have places to park. For overflow parking, there is a shopping center parking lot at the end of the sidewalk that's available!
Public transportation? The bus running between the Silver Spring and Bethesda metros stops right in front, at the end of the sidewalk.
If you choose to walk? It is exactly 20 minutes from your door to the Silver Spring metro's door.
Driving? We are about 15 minute drive from Walter Reed, 20 from PG Community College, 30 from the University of Maryland, and 5 minutes from Gallaudet University. The nearest hospital is Seventh Day Advantest or, heading the other way it's Sibley. If you work in DC, it's 16 miles straight down 16th street to the White House. The bus runs, or you really can easily drive it.
Do you bike? Take your bike from the locked, dedicated bike room and cruise through Rock Creek Park. The park is closed to vehicle traffic over the weekends, so it's a beautiful place to spend some quiet time on that bike, roller blading, taking a walk or having a picnic.
More about my unit. It is 836sf. It has hardwood floors throughout, new Caffes Steel windows, upgraded electrical system and built-in bookshelves in each room. The condominium fee, which is $585 (wait for it!) covers all the utilities. On-site management handles snow removal, garbage pick-up, lock-out service, buzz-in security system (which can be linked to a cell phone), and grounds maintenance. The large, newly-renovated 24-hour access, keyed laundry is in an adjacent building and also maintained through the condominium fee. The "Village" is installing solar panels on each building this (2025) summer. Are you a gardener? The Village allows personal gardens on the premises. Veggies? Ornamentals? It's encouraged.
Shopping? The property abuts the Rock Creek Shopping Center. Health club, 2 restaurants, Sherwin Williams, a dry cleaner, the Parkway Deli, (voted best in Montgomery county for almost 50 years), and more. It's easy to walk 5 minutes across a parking lot to one of the best Sunday deli breakfasts in the area. You're so close to Rockville shopping and dining that it's another social life.
This is an excellent location for children, with dedicated playground areas, BBQ areas and dog-walking areas. The Village is pet friendly. Perfect for a starter home, a place for someone new to the area, or a new family. The population is young and active.
Rock Creek Elementary School is also on the Village's border.
I bought this unit in 1985 and love it to this day. Please don't hesitate to drop me a note with questions. Showings by appointment. Thank you for reading.
