Living at Summit Hills has made my transition of moving from the west coast to DC for school so much easier. Although it is still a 20 minute drive from my school, the location and price can't be beat. It is close to the red line silver spring metro. Going to school via metro takes about 30-40 minutes (walking time included). It is also very close to a grocery/pharmacy store (giant, CVS, rite aid; close to restaurants and DT Silver Spring.

As the saying goes, you pay for what you get. This is a building best suited to low income families and students who live on a fixed income. Don't expect them to replace appliances if they break down. And don't let the booking office fool you, parking is a beast. But the onsite laundry is clean. Apart from the lack of noise barrier in the older buildings, most people keep to themselves. The pool is not well maintained and I would never suggest swimming.

This is a nice apartment building near downtown Silver Spring. If you work in DC, the it is an easy commute either by public transportation or if you are driving. The apartment is simple and basic, but does the trick if you are looking for convenience and a good price. There's a pool, tennis courts, gym, and free parking. Parking for guests is available and easy to find. I overall liked my experience.

Summit Hills is a little removed from the heart of Downtown Silver Spring, however it is about a 8-10 minute walk to the metro and to the Blairs shopping center. Parking is free for residents and visitors! Although there isn't one large common space for residents to lounge, Summit Hills management has put together events and celebrations to create a friendly community within the complex.

This apartment complex provides ample space, close proximity to the metro station and restaurants/bars, and responsive management. There is also plenty of parking space and all utilities are included with access to high-speed Verizon FIOS. This is by far the best apartment that I have ever rented.

Summit Hills has been a great place to live! There are several buildings as part of the community. It is gated with open parking and 24/7 maintenance (quick to respond). It's an easy walk to the metro, and everything Silver Spring has to offer. Overall, great place to live

It's a nice place to live with roommates, or as a starting apartment. It has a pool and tennis court, which I never used. They have a gym that is kind of old, so that is a minus for me. People that work there are very nice and work effectively. Lots of parking.

My experience at Summit Hills has generally been a positive one. When we first moved in, they had finished redoing the kitchen and it looked gorgeous and modern. Any problems that have surfaced have been dealt with quickly by the building manager. The living space is a decent size and allows for a good amount of furniture to be housed within. The bathrooms are pink and black, a style popular in the 1950s but appears very outdated today. Water and electric are covered as part of the rent agreement and there is a gym open 24-7 and a pool open during the warmer season. There are events run on the complex throughout the year and they offer a chance to socialize with the other residents. There is also an option to rent movies for free from the Gate House.

I've lived in Summit Hills for 8 years, in three different apartments, both with a roommate and with my husband. We stayed because the location is great (right near a metro and walkable to downtown Silver Spring) and Summit Hills is the best value in the area for your money. We have plenty of space, free parking, a gym, a pool, utilities included...

It's not a modern building, but the value is great.

Given the price and proximity to the metro and buses to downtown DC it is a great option for students and working professionals. The amenities are nice, including garden plots, pool, gym, playground, tennis courts and beach volleyball court. Great for pets, both cats and dogs, as there are also small dog parks in the complex.
