Highly Recommend

July 17, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I’ve had a great experience at The Blairs District. The community is well maintained, the events and fitness classes are great, and the staff has always been friendly and responsive whenever I’ve needed assistance. Maintenance requests are handled promptly, and the location is convenient with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and the red line while also being in a quieter part of town. The price you pay for the size of apartment you get is incredible value, and I’ve really enjoyed my almost 8 ...
years at The Blairs. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable place to live.

It Really is That Bad

September 4, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
I feel fortunate that I did not sign a 2 year lease.. I've never had to deal with such disrespectful and incompetent management in any other apartment complex I've lived in. The Blairs really breaks records for how bad it is. It's like the employees don't care about their reputation or know that they will never be held accountable by upper management. I had very simple issues with some features of my apartment such as roaches and the dustiest/nastiest/moldiest air vent immediately upon move in ...
and it was never dealt with. I was told to contact the building manager and I did, many times, through multiple emails, but did not receive any reply or attempt to remedy the situation. Like they couldn't even give a basic reply saying they"ll take care of it. The building manager just ignored it, and set an example amongst her employees as they seemed to have the same level of integrity. Some neighbors also had major flooding in their units and said it was a nightmare to deal with (claiming they were harassed and insulted by the staff as they had to deal with their homes being soaked by rusty water). The constant smell of weed, dog poo, and garbage is the hallmark of the Blairs. They also left the front door unlocked most nights so anybody who steps foot on the property could come right into the building and up to your door. The horrible communication issues and disregard from management just solidify this place as a liability for anyone looking for a secure apartment that you can confidently call home. If management did their job and general preventative maintenance was done properly, this place might be a decent place to live. The location in Silver Spring is good, but please don't let that fool you into thinking this place is worth it. Check out reviews on other sites like Reddit and you'll see firsthand accounts of the horrible situations people got stuck in by trusting the Blairs. Find somewhere else in Silver Spring to live.

Too Many Management Issues

December 10, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
I have lived in this apartment for 6 months and I can honestly say that if I knew all the things I know now, there is no way in hell I would've chosen to live here. The only reason I am giving this apartment 2 stars is because the location is impeccable (3 minute walk from the metro and Giant) and the staff members- aside from management- are wonderful people. First off, the AC/Heating is controlled by the building management. AC is turned on for the summer and turned off for the winter. The ...
downside with this is if you turn on your oven or your stove, the temperature starts to climb. I left the living room window open overnight when it was 45 outside. I woke up and it was 66 inside the apartment so I closed the window. An hour later is was 76 (heat has never been turned on). Second, if you have a car, be aware the parking is incredibly expensive ($120 per month). If you plan on having guests over who drive cars, good luck getting a guest parking spot. Each building only has a few, oh and they cost $5 per day. The amount of times I have attempted to get a pass and been told there are none and then questioned where my guest, who was already there, was supposed to park their car, only to be told "well you can try parking at Giant and hope you don't get towed." Great, and can I send you the bill from the towing company if that happens? Lastly, each building has package lockers for deliveries, which in theory is great, except they are limited in size and quantity so more times than not you'll have to wait a few hours after a package has been marked delivered for the front desk of your building to process it and send you an email to come pick said package up. Occasionally, you won't even get an email and 5 hours after your package has been delivered you'll have no idea what happened to it. There are other little issues, but for me, had I known about those three, I probably would've picked another building. Don't waste your time or money here.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, Elissa. It's disheartening to hear that your experience at The Blairs hasn't lived up to your expectations. Guest parking is by far the cheapest in the area which is why it does go so quickly. Our parking prices are also consistent with others in the area. We are happy to look into your unit's heat and A/C with you to find a solution that may work for you. We value your input and would be happy to talk with you more about it in person.

Location Excellent. That’s it.

September 16, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
Pros: The apartment shares a parking lot with a Giant, CVS, and a handful of other key shops. Is also less than a 5 minute walk to the Silver Spring Metro. Cons: Building-level fire alarms force evacuations once per week. Construction projects last for months on end. Frequent electric and water shutdowns without sufficient accommodations/backup plans. And nobody from the concierge to the local business offices to the corporate office seems to have any idea how to address or remedy any of the ...
problems that seem to have existed for years. The answer is always either a shoulder shrug or “we’ll get to it tomorrow” and staying true to DC politics, tomorrow never comes.

Good and not so good

June 13, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
There are pros and cons. Pros--near the metro, Giant grocery store, CVS, nail salon and other shops, right next to downtown Silver Spring where the theatre is and nice restaurants and general shopping; dog and cat-friendly, great grassy field area for dogs, sense of community, and depending on your neighbors, it's generally quiet. There are parcel lockers for package pick up which is great, a concierge desk with generally nice and helpful staff. Cons--the apartments are old. Some have been ...
renovated or partially renovated, but overall the condition of the building is not at the level of the rents that are being charged. The windows are terrible--they are single pane and let in bugs huge amounts of cold during the winter. These are supposed to be being replaced soon though. The bathrooms are small and cramped and some don't have proper ventilation; the carpets in the hallways are old, dirty and very unsightly. And the elevators. Can't forget about those. Typically, only two of four operate at a time; they come pretty quickly though. No washer and dryer in the apartments either. And there always seems to be construction of some kind going on. Right now, the garages are being remodeled and the workers start very early in the morning, seemingly oblivious to the people that live in the building. Drilling/jackhammering has been going on for two months now. Sorry for those that work at home. But this starts from the top and obviously management has allowed this. Lots of issues with the Blairs but there are positives too. I think though with the price points for rent, it could and should be a far more modern building with greater consideration for its residents.

The pros and cons from a 4-year resident

May 12, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
Pros: Great location, maintenance staff is VERY FAST to respond to requests. I never hear people in neighboring apartments (but you do hear people talking in the hallway), no pest problems. Cons: The building controls whether warm/cool/ambient air blows through the A/C unit. In the summer it's cool air, in the winter it's warm air, and in the spring and fall it's often ambient air. This is BY FAR the biggest drawback to The Blairs. My apartment faced the afternoon sun and the temperature would ...
get up to 80+ degrees inside the apartment because the building hadn't switched on the cool air during the spring. Management suggests closing the blinds and curtains to keep your apartment cool. That seems a bit archaic for 2022. There are no in-unit washer/dryers, but they're available on every floor. Given the Blairs charge rents comparable to other newer buildings in the area with central heating and air that is user controlled, AND have in-unit washer/dryer, they aren't the best value.

The best apartment experience you can ask for.

September 11, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
Mileyda helped me with the leasing process and moved me in last week. It was a quick and easy one. Since someone recently moved out. It needed some repairs. All of the repairs were made in a week. The apartment was immaculate/clean and pest free! You wont even find an ant on your porch (unless you're on the first or second floor probably). I love my apartment, the location and luckily a parking space opened up for me by move in. I recommend The Blairs to young professionals if you'd like to live ...
in a safe environment downtown.

Blair House - parking spot might not be available and $500 at least to reserve the club room

August 3, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
After you reserve your place, you will not get a parking place assigned before your moving date. And on your moving date if they don't have a spot (they have limited parking space vs number of Apartments ) you are left to find a parking spot off property on your own(I was shocked to learn that). You can't parking reserve while reserving an apartment. And in order to reserve the club room for a private party, you need to pay at least $500. There is amenities payment of 300 per year but that will ...
not save you from the $500 and up payment to reserve it.

REALLY LOUD

April 26, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
While front desk and staffs are very nice, the apartment itself is subpar. There is constant renovation going on in the building as well as outside closeby, and I had to bear with constant hammering and whatnot from the floor above, which occurs on an weekly basis and has been ongoing for months. The walls are completely NOT soundproof and I can hear everything on the outside despite living on one of the higher floors. Whoever is working on construction also have no regards for other tenants ...
because they will be loud regardless of the time of day. If you want to live somewhere where you don't hear constant banging and bulldozing as well as management that care about the tenant's schedule, this is not the place

DO NOT STAY HERE.

August 19, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
Besides the incompetent leasing office, I have had issues since day one of moving into my unit. The VERY first night of moving in a roach appeared. I have only lived in my unit for about 3 1/2 weeks. There have been roaches SINCE DAY ONE daily. They have came from the kitchen and bathroom areas. We have kept the place SPOTLESS. We take all trash to the trash chute immediately and spray every morning and night. The problem still persist. We have done more than the leasing office who is OBLIGATED ...
by Montgomery County Housing Code to take care of pest issues. This has been a large inconvenience to my roommate and I. We have to keep the lights on every night fearful a roach will come out if we turn the lights off. It is an inconvenience to spend 15-20mins spraying before we leave in the morning and 15-20mins spraying before bed every night. It is an inconvenience and stressful to be fearful that a roach will appear when I walk into my bathroom. It is inconvenient to be fearful while cooking that a roach will appear on the counter WHICH HAS HAPPENED AND MAKES ME NOT WANT TO COOK IN MY OWN HOME. The business office claims they are sincerely sorry and are working diligently to resolve the issue but the problem still remains and they don't do anything besides say sorry. I don't understand how there is a roach problem in a new apartment when we asked for them to spray for pest prior to move in. When I asked if the apartment was even sprayed the man in the business office said "there is no way of tracking it and he can not give me a definite answer." The building has a roach problem in general. When parking my car in the garage there was a roach in the garage as well. This is a roach infested apartment complex and I am proud to leave this review on the basis of saving someone else from experience such a tragedy and inconvenience.

Not great

July 1, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
The building is old, but renovated (although not so well). The walls are really thin so you can hear your neighbors through the walls pretty clearly (like i hear my neighbor sneeze). If you need maintenance done, they're pretty quick about it, but not very organized. I've had maintenance people come fix something that was already taken care of days ago so i assume there is a lack of communication with management. They boast a lot of amenities with free gym classes and things like that, but the ...
gym has horrible ventilation/ AC so it always smells horrible and is way too warm. The building isn't great, but the location is awesome. Its super close to the metro and the Giant grocery store.
