      I am sick and tired of having to fill this space every time I'm asked to fill out the survey. I'm thinking of unsubscribing on that basis. Seriously, two hundred characters is the required bare minimum?

        Overall a solid place to live. Never felt unsafe, always a space in the gym and an empty laundry machine, and you really can't beat the location. My only real complaint is that people smoke weed constantly in the building and it seems like nothing is really being done to stop it (I'm not trying to moralize about weed, but you're not supposed to smoke indoors. I'm asthmatic and the smell occasionally triggers an attack).

          The Blairs is a fairly good apartment complex, though most of the buildings are a little on the old side. The strongest feature of The Blairs is its proximity to the Silver Spring Metrorail station/transit center and to downtown Silver Spring.

            I don't want to spend the time to write 200 characters here in order to complete this survey. I previously wrote a brief complimentary message, but this is the most annoying thing ever. Because of this box I will never do your survey again.

                  marijuana smokers and other smokers every where despite being NOT allowed in lease and reminder emails. When I call in to tell them, am told someone came out if they did, and that it wasn't marijuana but cigarettes. However, even cigarettes not allowed. homeless man outside my door one day (inside apt) bc entry doors not kept locked)/broken

                      I'm leaving in 177 days due to new management decisions. Thanks to management's practices personal items were stolen from the package locker assigned to me, yet they won't take responsibility. In addition I asked to be removed from the locker system, and they claimed only if I have a reasonable accommodation request submitted, they would consider the request. I don't have time to play with these children. We'll settle these things in court.

                              Maintenance response time and effectiveness for a major issue is abysmal. Otherwise the community is satisfactory. Concierge staff is friendly and maintenance staff has been personable, however they did not solve the problem themselves or put in steps to solve it, and they did not communicate at all.

                                      My experience with tge Blairs has had its ups and downs. Usually the downs are due to negligence from the leasing or management offices or in regards to moving in. Outside of that I love the location and the space in each unit.

                                        Very comfortable stay! It's very close to amenities such as the metro , giant and cvs. This makes it easy to commute. The staff are very friendly and professional. The community is clean and well maintained.

                                          Great location and affordable with spacious rooms and closets. The areas clean things are for the most part addressed in a timely manner the only major complaint I would say is there seems to be a miscommunication with deliveries and ensuring things are delivered to the right location

                                            Every aspect of service has changed since I first moved in (1992). Quaulity of service is less than years past. I realize that the covid pandemic has caused changes in how normalcy is throughout the country. However I do believe management can do better.
