Resident Reviews

I love living here. Except the lack of parking for visitors. It's a major pain to have an overnight visitor -even my son visiting from out of state. Or a friend here for the weekend. It's ridiculous you don't provide any guest parking. And there IS space downstairs in the resident section. It's a huge downside.

Clean and safe building with lots of amenities around it. Only downside is it seems to have quite a few fire alarms go off (some of which are connected to the stores below)

All cleaning staff work very hard everyday, so all area are always kept super clean! Also we have so many seasonal events and enjoy them. Totally I am satisfied to be a part of this community.

I have loved living at The Upstairs. The apartments are all very nice and a great space, but I think the location itself is the strongest selling point. Everything you need is within walking distance, including local downtown Bethesda free public transit, and the metro station.

Lived here for 3 years and love it! The staff is so friendly and responsible. Would like annual carpet cleaning to be included when re signing leases. Also new lighting over the bathroom vanities.

I love living here! The staff is all very pleasant and very attentive. I feel safe living here. It is also great that it is a smaller community so I can really get to know my neighbors.

it’s been okay so far. noisy but the area is lovely which makes up for it. leasing staff is quite slow and difficult to work with. i like the events and amenities in the building.

Nov 2, 2023

Very nice place to rent in a very walkable area. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Good soundproofing in the walls although we hear noises from workers on the roof.

I LOVED living at UBR. Best community there is!!! The front desk concierge are lovely and so friendly. The leasing team is also very cooperative and willing to help you with anything.

Sep 10, 2023

It has been a good experience living here for the past 14 months. We were also appreciative that the annual rent increase was fairly nominal.

Location location location Friendly helpful staff. Great amenities. Near restaurants, grocery store and shopping. Everything easily accessible.

Aug 20, 2023

I am going on 2 years of living here. I love the area and how accessible it is to so many things. It is a great spot to live and Upstairs includes lots of amenities.

Aug 17, 2023

The location is super nice, easy to access cafe, bakery, grocery and shopping places! Also inside of the apartment is always very clean. I totally satisfy this community.

The apartment itself is really nice, and I love how Walkable it is to everything in Bethesda. The apartment also has plenty of storage space, a huge kitchen, and the views of Bethesda Row are immaculate.

Jul 16, 2023

I’ve rented many apartments in my life, and this experience has been, by far, the least attentive, most confusing and most frustrating. Plus, no matter when I call to ask questions about it, nobody is in the office. Awful.

Jul 1, 2023

This is an excellent location to live in due to its proximity to groceries, shopping, and restaurants. It's also very pet friendly which is great.

May 31, 2023

This apartment is a great place for a temporary stay. Close to NIH Campus and vibrant restaurants and communities. Reliable front desk staff and good safety. Only detraction is the temporary loud construction and hearing footsteps from neighbors in apartment above.

May 30, 2023

Excellent location. Gym in the building, very friendly concierge service, maintenance requests are completed very fast. Overall great experience.

May 16, 2023

Upstairs at Bethesda Row is a beautiful place to live. Pet friendly, too! It can be a bit noisy as you can hear the people outside eating and shopping but eventually it becomes background noise.

May 3, 2023

Great location with friendly staff! Have enjoyed living here because of proximity to shops, restaurants, metro and the capital crescent trail.

May 1, 2023

The office and maintenance staffs are very friendly and work hardly to keep our community clean/comfy. Clean staff clean up the entrance/all floor every day and all area always look shining! I'm happy to be a part of residents in this community.

Apr 5, 2023

I’m love my upstairs Bethesda Row. Good condition and great quality for service and good people with great job. So nice great building and so many great ideas and restaurants shopping around lots more places and lots more parking. Thank you

Jan 17, 2023

The location is super nice, easy access to groceries/cafe/gym/metro station. I love this apartment! Also, all public area is always very clean.

Jan 3, 2023

Es un gran lugar para vivir. EL personal es super agradable. Bien ubicado. Ideal para vivir en familia. Con Mascotas. Buscamos entre varios lugares de Bethesda y este es el mejor lugar

Dec 26, 2022

This building is fantastic! Can’t beat the location. Everyone we have come into contact with have been super professional, courteous, and helpful. We have one small outstanding issue that I hope will be resolved soon. However, overall, highly recommended!

Dec 7, 2022

I’ve have a great experience while living here! The overall experience has been wonderful! The location is perfect. It’s convenient for all aspects of my life.

Dec 4, 2022

I absolutely love it here - especially the concierge! Everyone is extremely warm and friendly. They know you by name which makes UBR feel even more like home!

Nov 28, 2022

Location is very good, close to groceries/cafes/shops...but sometimes noisy at weekend night. Inside of the apartment is totally quiet and comfy.

Oct 1, 2022

I’ve truly loved my time here at Bethesda Row. Living here completely changed my outlook on the area, and put me in a good mood virtually every day. I’d highly recommend it for people of all ages!

Jul 24, 2022

Most of the people are great 😊 The location being close to shops and restaurants is a plus! The apartment building has some minor issues that they resolve when they come about. My apartment on the other has a serious water leak under the floor that hasn’t been resolved since I moved in…. Most of the other issues were resolved within a day or so.

Jul 11, 2022

The location is very nice, close to the station, restaurants and cafes. The maintenance staffs are friendly and always work hard to keep this community clean.

Jun 27, 2022

It has been one month now and I’m enjoying the apartment and the neighborhood! The outdoor terrace is great and the ease of access to all the shops and restaurants is fantastic.

May 30, 2022

I have nothing but great things to say about living here. The location is incredible, and the staff is friendly and very attentive. All in all, a great experience.

Apr 22, 2022

Great location and nice floorplans. Neighborhood is convenient and fun. Noise levels are low in the apartment, though noise from the courtyard below can be loud at night.

Apr 18, 2022

When Eleni was the manager, everything goes smooth and well. After she left, we never get emails to notify apartment events and service work becomes slowly.

Mar 21, 2022

apartment is alright, previous community manager mad removing in a hellacious experience. Best example is calling 24 hrs before driving half way across country to tell that she couldn't honor the lease she agreed to because the current occupant of the unit didn't want to leave. Location is great though

Mar 13, 2022

UBR is a great residence with attentive staff and accessibility to many hot spots in the area. One star lost due to some noise at night from the neighbors, maintenance requests marked as resolved when not, and parking garage gate that causes inconvenience sometimes.

Feb 1, 2022

Upstairs community is exceptional! Outstanding staff. Pristine environment for family with kids. Two amazing years in this property and We have had a wonderful experience with our apartment. Tina concierge is a lovely person to have greet you coming back home. The entire property is in excellent condition and well cared for by the cleaning crew. Thank you to Elleni for being patient and understanding while negotiating our lease. We will happily continue living here.

Jan 28, 2022

so far my experience has been great! the location is perfect, surrounded by everything you need and want. the staff & neighbors have all been so friendly!

Dec 15, 2021

The location is nice and I have enjoyed so many seasonal events in this community! Thanks for all staff working for us, I know you work so hard to keep our community clean every day.

Dec 11, 2021

Kudos to Ckatherin and the incredible staff for making sure my move was seamless and stress free. I am happy to be joining such a wonderful community!

Nov 19, 2021

After a full year here, I’m still as happy now as when I first moved in, maybe even happier. The location is unmatched, and the staff is great!

Nov 13, 2021

Great. I have enjoyed living here. Great amenities and location. The staff is very friendly and the maintenance staff is very helpful and fast.

Nov 1, 2021

Great experience - love the bustling neighborhood and the spacious unit. We’ve been in the building for going on 4 years, and have no complaints.

Oct 27, 2021

We have a mouse infestation and handling it ourselves. The management does not care and has not handled it as an urgent matter. We have had to buy our own supplies. We have thrown away all of our food and no longer feel comfortable about cooking in our apartment

Oct 25, 2021

We have truly enjoyed making the upstairs at Bethesda Row our home. We love the staff, the location, and the community! The management always makes us feel comfortable, heard, and welcomed.

Oct 12, 2021

Overall I am happy living at UBR. Took stars away because of the frequent false fire alarms (very bothersome as a mom with a 5 year old at home) and occasional pest issues that are apparently not thoroughly taken care of.

Aug 25, 2021

The location of this place is phenomenal. All the essentials are at a walkable distance. Very clean and well kept. Responsive management. As advertised.

Aug 17, 2021

I wish some extra effort would be put into the community events. I know we are still in a pandemic, but saying that you’re handing out antipasti and then handing out lunchables is laughable; these are two distinctly different things. Other communities are using their outdoor space to still have nicer events and we get an avocado or a lunchable.

Aug 13, 2021

great staff (friendly, on top of things) - work order get completed very quickly, 24hour concierge is convenient and the people are extremely kind, clean building, great location

Aug 13, 2021

Living at Upstairs at Bethesda Row is everything I hoped it would be, and maybe more. Whenever I walk into the neighborhood, I feel as if I’m on a movie set!

Aug 5, 2021

Very nice resident experience. I enjoy the amenities and living close to so many places. The apartment is big and areas are well distributed.

Aug 2, 2021

My boyfriend and I have been so happy since we moved in. The neighbors are all so friendly and the concierge have been so helpful. The apartment is located in such a great spot, we couldn’t be more pleased with our experience so far!

Jul 28, 2021

So far all the neighbors I have met have been very nice, the staff is all nice and very helpful with all my questions. The building itself is clean, smells nice and my neighbors all seem to respect each other.

Jul 28, 2021

When I came to look at the apartment it was a delight to work with David, he was very professional and welcoming. And the front desk personnel also was very accommodating

Jul 26, 2021

The staff have been incredibly helpful and responsive to all of our questions. It was easy to see we’d be joining a great community full of friendly faces.

Jul 19, 2021

The location is very convenient, close to grocery and bus stop/metro, but sometimes noisy because many people are screaming at the row. Totally nice apartment.

Jul 1, 2021

Living in the Upstairs at Bethesda Row apartments has been delightful. If issues arise, the team addresses it quickly and the staff is incredible. We love our new home here!

Jun 30, 2021

I was not able to visit Bethesda before relocating to Maryland due to the covid pandemic. I am really glad that I chose Upstairs at Bethesda Row. The apartment is nice. The location is awesome!

Jun 23, 2021

maintenance was quick even on a holiday Manager was very thorough with on boarding instructions. Parking is very secure. Clean space. Spacious unit. lovely patio -near ROW. walkable to Equinox. very convenient

Jun 1, 2021

I enjoy how hospital the place is. It is always clean. The people who work at upstairs are great and very friendly. I like that the building is pet friendly
