$1,600s ? let me be the first to say "Ha!"

Wow - pricier than Kentlands!

Park station, a decade-old complex just around the corner from Archstone, is pretty much the current top of line rental in Olde Towne. Those units rent for $1230 to $1975, and at those rates appears to have only about 11 units available. For comparably-sized apartments, Archstone seems to be about 15-25% higher. Given the relative amenities and age, as well as the proximity of the two complexes, the Archstone rents do not seem out of line.

Moved in a little bit ago thinking a brand new complex would be nice....WRONG!!!! So far I'm having the worst experience of my life. Constant construction, noise and dust everywhere! The management is horrible! The employees have no idea about anything going on and the PROPERTY MANAGER IS WORTHLESS!!!!!! If you have a problem, they say sorry and do absolutely nothing to fix the problem. The amenities are still not complete and most of them won't be done till the end of june( I've been there now for almost two months!) it's way over priced! This isn't Rockville, Chevy Chase or DC! You're in Olde Towne Gaithersburg which consist of a micro brewery and a bunch of spanish mini markets, a lawn mower repair shop(which I obviously don't need) and an over priced appliance store....you're best bet is to stay away! Not worth a single dime! And they also have "lifeguards" that through research I found out aren't properly qualified and are students from overseas coming here for summer employment. This community/company can't even employ our own local residents! A free months rent isn't worth the amount of heartache you'll get from the moment you step on the property! Already looking for somewhere else to live!!!

Was looking up reviews of this complex, where I also live, and am so pleased others are speaking up. DO NOT MOVE HERE! Well, it's up to you... Move here if you enjoy: CURFEWS: we can only use the pool and courtyard from 11am-8pm, the media room closes at 11pm). NOISE: it's still under construction. My fault for moving here? Maybe. But consider that management led us to believe construction on our particular building would be over by the time we moved in... not at all the case. DIRT: Mostly due to construction, but its bad. Also, despite it being a smoke free building, the workers smoke like chimneys and leave their butts everywhere. MICE: Yup! Mice! In a brand new building! And we're on the third floor! CHEAP CONSTRUCTION: Our paint smudges if you look at it the wrong way, which is to say very easily, the weather striping on the doors is shoddy, you can see clearly that air from the hallways and outside is coming through. INCOMPETENT MANAGEMENT: After giving the place a chance for two months, to see if the gazebo in the courtyard would finish (it didn’t), or if the kinks in the gym’s technical system would get worked out (they didn’t), or if the internet café would become available (it didn’t), I emailed the manager. He basically told me tough luck, it is was it is. Whatever happened to customer satisfaction? Apparently it’s not part of training for Archstone.. Anyways; long story short- DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!!!

I just saw the last review and had to speak up. Mice? YES. BIG ISSUE. curfew. Yes. Constant construction. Yes. Invalid promises. Yes. Yes. And, YES. It is ridiculous. It's a slum with a pretty face and a big price tag. Don't rent here!!! I have been here several months. Debris everywhere. Staff smokes. Construction vehicles. Unhealthy and unsafe.

This is a wonderful property!

This place is horrible. The management is incompetent. Constant construction. Bad choice.
