Bethseda Apartments (Bethesda: renting, maintenance, live)

[globetrekkeress]

A friend of mine moving to the area is looking at taking up an apartment either at the Whitney, Metropolitan, Pallisade or Triangle Tower. Does have any experience renting in these apts or know anyone who has? What were your experiences + or neg. Luckily his company is paying for his expense for 4 months so prices is not an issue. Mainly concerned about a decent apartment with good security and responsive maintenance/office staff. Thanks!

Try apartmentratings.com. Triangle Towers has excellent reviews....63% recommend it. Both Metropolitan and Pallisade's have very negative reviews.

I posted this in the DC forum as well, but since the expenses will be paid by the company, I would go with the Palisades or the Whitney. These are two of the nicest apartments in Bethesda and are fairly expensive.

Regarding apartmentratings, I found a lot of the negative reviews to be completely unwarranted and seemed to come from people who had nothing better to do than complain.

Triangle Towers is nice with a great staff, as I lived there for a year. However; the building is much older than the others, and there are no washers and dryers in the apartments.
