Affinity on Georgia

"As a current resident, we found ourselves compelled to share our rather disheartening experience. Since the management change, the quality of living and maintenance standards have drastically declined, impacting not just the comfort but also the safety of residents. One of the most pressing issues is the persistent leak from our apartment window, an inconvenience that has been part of our daily lives since December. Despite submitting multiple maintenance requests, the problem remains unaddressed, leaving us to deal with the complications it brings, especially during adverse weather conditions. The elevator situation further exacerbates the living experience. With two of the elevators being out of service for more than six months, the daily commute within the building has become a time-consuming and frustrating ordeal. This not only causes inconvenience but also raises concerns about emergency situations where elevator access is crucial. The new management's apathetic attitude towards these pressing issues is alarming. There seems to be a blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of the residents. The focus appears to be solely on financial gain rather than investing in necessary repairs and maintenance to ensure a safe and comfortable living environment for its tenants. In conclusion, the living experience here under the new management has been deeply disappointing. The lack of timely maintenance responses, coupled with a disregard for resident safety, has created an environment that is far from the standard one would expect from a reputable apartment complex. I hope this review serves as a wake-up call for anyone interested in living here…"

"I’ve been extremely happy with my experience living at Affinity so far. Eight months ago, I moved cross county for a new job, and had to rent an apartment sight unseen. The place I moved into was horrible; it had so many problems that went unfixed for months. Luckily, I was able to break my lease and get out, and in my search for a new apartment I stumbled upon Affinity. The leasing agent at Affinity (Ms. Robinson) was professional and helpful during the move-in process, and the apartment itself has been great so far! I feel like this building is the best value for your money in the Silver Spring area, and I’m so thankful I found this place."

"Elevator door has been broken for months and often times only 1 is working at a time. During rush hours the elevator with broken door will stop at every floor and takes forever to close"

"This review is based off a tour: In looking for a new home for me and my 2 daughters, I took a tour of Affinity today. Casrice Robinson was very professional, patient and gave all information needed that will help me determine my final decision. We viewed a 2br and 2ba which was very nice and updated with big walk in closets and big bathrooms. Thank you Casrice!"

"Lived here for a while. Positives •two pane windows are great. Limited noise from the street. •parking garage •close to a few grocery stores and specialty food markets •close to the train •close to DC •Rent price is not as ridiculous as other places •the office staff was pretty good •they organize activities for tenants and kids •there’s a nice multipurpose room Negatives •floor to ceiling windows make it difficult to regulate the climate. •drug dealers live in the building and other interesting characters. I mind my business, but one tenant was raided at 4 am •security isn’t consistent. Anyone can make it into the building. A woman was banging on our door at 1 am looking for some guy and she only went away once we said we had a newborn. She was probably drunk. The building is in walking distance from the bars. •We wanted to move to a bigger unit and the unit they moved us into was infested with mice. I was pregnant. We moved into another unit the same week we moved into the bigger one. We had to pay $1600 for both moves. They didn’t charge a transfer fee but they should’ve paid for the move because they knew there was an infestation. •People don’t clean up after their dogs •They remodeled the lobby, but the elevators are slow or down and the building needs some TLC. •Say goodbye to long hot showers •The gym needs to be updated and half the equipment is broken. If people are dropping weights you can hear it in the apartments •be prepared for a fire drill at anytime no warning and no communication •high crime area •the garage doors are constantly broken. One was broken for 6 months and they fixed it in two days after someone’s car got broken into •parking for guest I would recommend for young singles and couples. Not a family environment in my opinion. My stay here wasn’t awful but it definitely had its challenges. Management and upkeep of the building and units could be a lot better."
