Silver Spring will be getting a new apartment complex. Last week, Priderock Capital Partners LLC and DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners broke ground on apartments at 8021 Georgia Avenue, a nine-story complex that will offer 210 units and two levels of underground parking. The complex will be comprised of two older buildings already on the property and a new one that broke ground on the 1.88 acre site last week. Building will unfold in two phases: new construction, followed by building rehabilitation of the remaining structures. During the first phase of building, as the new structures are built, the older buildings will be cleaned of asbestos and brought up to code. The complex will offer a gym with simulated golf, massage area, concierge, swimming pool, and secured parking. 13% of the un...

There is a new and "improved" corner in Silver Spring.  Gil's Restaurant has opened @ the corner of Silver Spring Avenue and Piney Branch Road.  It's the corner store at the end of  the old strip shopping center on Piney Branch Road near the  intersection of Dale and Piney Branch.    I hardly recognized this place.   It's was the site of Matchu Pitchu restaurant and then something like Lembada's (not sure of either spelling), just remember the restaurants there before were "scruffy", beat up looking, raucous at night and not very appetizing.  The place has been painted, spruced up and there is new landscape in the front.  The inside feels cleaner than the places that were there before. The food was great.  It is Tex-Mex & Salvdorean.  I had a lunch special platter with cheese enchiladas...

Lush Majestic Settings in a coveted hidden community of only 60 estate homes. Burnt Mills Hills is a quiet pastoral neighborhood of rolling hills, lush indigenous and mature landscaping with Acre+ lots. Burnt Mills Hills was developed by the R. E. Latimer Land Company in the early 1930's after purchasing the land from the McCeney Family and others.  The first and main road through the Burnt Mills Hills subdivision is McCeney Avenue.  The oldest house is a 1856 Farmhouse, that predates the development.Silver Spring's best kept secret is this sylvan setting off of Route 29 (Colesville Road).  It's hard to believe this subdivision is so close to the Urban area of Downtown Silver Spring, the Capitol Beltway and just 4 miles from the District of Columbia - Washington DC line.Boundaries: The ...

Looking to Buy a House in Silver Spring, Maryland? If you are looking to buy a house in Silver Spring, Maryland, the first thing you need to know is how much you can afford. You'll have to get prequalified from a lender who will tell you how much it will lend to you, based on your income and credit score. Then you'll know what your price range is. There's no need to look for houses before you get qualified to buy. Otherwise, you can't submit an offer (because the seller will want to see that you are qualified to purchase) and you are wasting your time. So, the first step is to get qualified now. If you can't qualify now, I can help you find a rental or perhaps a rent-to-own home. If you already are qualified, fanstastic. Let's start looking for your dream home. Find houses online that a...

Chase Offering Payments to Owners of Short Sales If your house's mortgage is financed through Chase, and you have been through the loan mitigation process and been denied, you may be eligible for a huge financial incentive to do a short sale. Chase is offering many of its customers up to $30,000, depending on the size of the loan, that can be used by the homeowner for any purpose, whether to help with a move to another location, pay off bills or other general living expenses. The cash is given to the homeowner at closing, when the short sale is sold. Called the Chase Short Sale Initiative, the program is for owner occupants and investors. I was surprised about the availability for investors; usually they are left out of these types of incentive programs. In addition to the $30,000 incen...
