I am a young professional who right now lives and works in Frederick, but I am looking to relocate to Gaithersburg sometime this mid-to-late May in order to be closer to family and friends in DC and NOVA. I'm looking for a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment with a monthly rent of around $1100 (I would like to be below $1100, and the highest I'm thinking of going is no more than $1150). From my research so far, looks like I would find housing for those prices in Old Gaithersburg. I have also heard to avoid being right near the mall (Lakeforest Mall I'm assuming).

I have been doing some research online, and here are places that I found fit my price range. Please let me know if there are any major concerns with any of these places (e.g. unsafe area, terrible apartment management, poor quality apartments, etc.). Please let me know any thoughts you may have or post any suggestions at other places I should consider looking. Also if anyone could tell me if the ratings for each of these apartments on Apartment Ratings is accurate or not would be very helpful.

I'll be honest with you. I look at the addresses and I cringe. Why do I cringe? Because I grew up in Gaithersburg and know the areas well.

I used to live at the Eaves (just before it became the Eaves). Looking at the reviews it appears not much has changed. When I lived there, there was gunfire into apartments, I had prostitutes as neighbors, there was a rape. Good people lived there as well but that does get overshadowed by the filth. Wouldn't recommend. And when they did the remodeling the roaches came out in full force.

Londonderry. They need to tear that whole place down. Londonderry was always one of the worst places to live in Gaithersburg.

Would not live around Amity. Amity was always known for being unsafe. Had a number of friends who lived around there.

Brighton Village...I knew a guy and his wife who were from Detroit and moved out of there because they felt uncomfortable. But his wife was very attractive...Maybe as a single guy it would be different.

I will not comment on the other apartments since I don't know anyone who has lived in them. I don't know where you're from but some people might not have issues with where these apartments are located.

You have described yourself as a professional which makes me think you would be uncomfortable and feel out of place living at most of the apartments you've selected. Personally, I found Germantown to be much quieter and had more professionals..still mixed in with some undesirables but much better than Gaithersburg.
