The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at The Stories
Great so far. The building is well kept, everything is clean, maintenance is very responsive. The area is quiet and you can walk to many shops and the metro.
Living at the Stories has been a great experience. The property is well maintained, conveniently located, and the management team is very responsive, friendly, and helpful.
There two apartment buildings at Stories in Rockville. The buildings are located at1620 and 1628 E Jefferson St. We live in the 1628 building which is the newer of the two buildings. From speaking with people in our community, we have come to understand that the newer building at 1628 is the "better" of the two buildings. We have a two bedroom, two bathroom apt. Our rent is a tad higher than similar apts. in our area, but it is well worth paying a little bit more for the peace and quiet, the friendly people, the clean exercise room, the clean interior of the building, the well landscaped property, the view overlooking the children's play area, the short wait at the elevator of no more than 15 sec., a good size parking lot that is never full leaving ample parking for visitors, a maintenance staff that responds quickly to fix problems, a management staff that hosts parties at holiday time, the convenience of nearby shopping, and the cheerful friendly people we have met here. Needless to say, my wife and I are happy living at the Stories of Rockville.
Amazing staff, very helpful and pleasant. Wonderful location very accessible.
It has been a beautiful experience living at The Stories for the past five years. I appreciate the sense of community, and welcoming environment on a daily basis. Location and safety are important advantages.
Great location. Easy to access to metro station, restaurants, supermarkets, shops, schools and cafes. Enjoy living at the stories apartment.
I like the community, staff and the people who live here. The area has plenty of shopping and dinning options but the community is still quite and very clean.
I had an amazing experience staying at this condo! The place was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and super comfortable. The location was ideal—close to everything yet peaceful and relaxing. The amenities were top-notch, from the sparkling pool to the well-equipped gym. The private balcony had breathtaking views, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. Plus, the host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout my stay.
Thank you so much for The Fast and Prompt service this team is very helpful. loving my experience on this property truly a gem of the Rockville area!
The Stories has always provided a clean and safe place for me to call home. The staff here are always ready to help fix any problem I've had, noting they were all minor problems I would expect anywhere. However, not all places were this good.
The Stories has been a wonderful first apartment experience. The proximity to public transportation and stores is convenient, the amenities meet my needs, and the space is always clean and the staff welcoming. I would recommend to anyone looking to live in the Rockville area.
Location is the best part of living in this apartment . Used to be better service, equipment and amenities, but not anymore. I hope it comes back.
We love living at the Stories. All of the staff are very friendly and the apartment itself is nice. Very cozy and affordable. Our pups also love taking advantage of the dog run
The community is fairly quiet. We had some people move in that make tons of noise and make the hallway smell like tree. The location is unbeatable!
Hallway floors are gross and smell like dog pee. Other than that everything is ok. Decent apartment. The amenities to the newer building are nicer and it seems cleaner, but is pricier.
Great location. Easy to access to metro station, walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants, cafe, small parks and shops. Enjoy living in the stories.
This is my first apartment and I’ve been very impressed with this building. Any service requests are answered quickly, all staff and residents greet you with a smile, and all common areas/amenities are clean. It is a great place to live, with convenient access to a plethora of stores and a short walk to the metro.
Great location! Walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants, metro station, coffee shop and Retail stores. I enjoy living at The Stories apartment.
My resident experience has been exceptional, combining comfort, convenience, and a sense of community. The facilities are always well-maintained, and the staff is attentive and responsive, ensuring that any concerns are addressed promptly. I’ve enjoyed the thoughtfully designed amenities, like the gym and shared spaces, which provide opportunities to relax and connect with neighbors. The location is ideal, making daily errands and commutes seamless. Above all, the atmosphere feels welcoming and safe, creating a true sense of home. This experience has exceeded my expectations and has made my time here truly enjoyable.
I've lived at the stories for the entire time the 1628 has been in operation. The place is neat and clean, including vacuuming and sometimes shampooing the hall carpeting. The rental office staff is always helpful and courteous. Improvements are made to make things safer and more convenient when needed. Events are organized for residents by community management and staff.
The stories has been great to live at. The maintenance team is very responsive and helpful. The leasing office has been great and helpful if any concerns arise. The community is very clean and well kept
All members of our community staff, including the rental office manager, the assistant manager, and the housekeeping contractors are friendly, as they perform their duties and helpful when a resident needs on the spot help to fulfill an immediate need. For example, I walk with a rollator walker and dropped my key as I came into the lobby. She immediately saw it on the floor, picked it up and put it in my hand. I was very relieved and impressed.
Great location such as walking distance to metro station, shops, supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops and clinics. I enjoy living at the stories apartment.
I have been a resident for 13 months, and I have been consistently impressed with the management team, maintenance staff, property condition, and convenient location. The management team has always been responsive to my needs and inquiries. They are professional, courteous, and helpful. The maintenance staff is prompt, efficient, and knowledgeable. They have addressed all of my maintenance requests in a timely manner, and their work is always top-notch. The property itself is well-maintained and clean. The amenities are excellent, and the location is ideal for me. I appreciate the convenience of being close to 5 shopping centers and very close the the Twinbrook metro, all within walking distance. They also host monthly resident events! Overall, I have had a very positive experience living at The Stories. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great place to live. Thank you for providing such a wonderful living environment.
I like the location of where I live, but I wish the management would tell us more of what is happening in the building. Instead of us discovering that there is construction happening or that something is not working and that a part is on back order.
Walking distance to metro, restaurants, supermarkets, book store, and coffee shop. Location is great. I enjoy living at the Stories apartment.
I have lived at the same address for 9 years. It's the longest I've been at any place since leaving my parent's house in Queens, New York City. My wife and I were the first two people to live in building that includes my apartment. It's just me since my wife died of natural causes just a few weeks short of a 50th wedding anniversary. My nearby family and friends have been looking after me and the management of this community provide a high-quality place to live. All common areas and the maintenance in the apartments are well maintained by the excellent staff. The community's staff also provides events and quick responses to requests for assistance. I am happy to live here and have no plans to move. I recommend that anyone looking for an apartment community visit our leasing office and have a look at the options it provides.
I have lived in this community for eight years and the level of maintenance and various other services such as housekeeping, groundskeeping, and management efficiency and effectiveness have improved continually over time.
I love this apartment complex! Residents and staff are so friendly! Deliveries are somewhat complicated. I am not notified about Amazon or any other deliveries despite being registered for the mail room, otherwise this would be 5 stars!
Great ambience and a quiet place to live in. Also very close to stores which makes it a convenient place for a new person in the area to live in.
The maintenance team is very responsive and timely with completing requests. The buildings are clean and apartments have good features and amenities
Walking distance to metro station, supermarkets, restaurants, book store and coffee shop. Also good access to highways. I enjoy living this location.
Everyone here, and I mean everyone, is capable, kind and friendly. It's a good place to call home.
The Stories is a wonderful place to live. The leasing staff are courteous, professional and very helpful.
I will have been at the Stories for 15 years this August, and I have much to be thankful for. There is a metro line about two blocks away, a pharmacy and 7-11 nearby, not to mention places to eat of all kinds. The front desk is very professional and helpful.
The Stories is a very comfortable place to live. The maintenance staff is one of the best features of living here. Also, I was impressed with the automated response provided by the residence portal that allowed me to submit my lease renewal elec
I am very proud of my home at The Stories and feel very safe and well-served here.
It will be fifteen years at this location in August, and there is little to complain about. Shopping of all sorts is within walking distance, and places to eat as well. The metro is about two blocks away.
Courteous and thoughtful people who are completely professional and caring.
This apartment is excellent around the area, the leasing center and maintenance team are both exceptional.
Recomiendo The Stories a las personas que estan buscando un apartamento , les va encantar la ubicacion, tienen cerca a Fresh Market, Starbucks, restaurantes variados y lo principal la estacion de Metro Twinbrook esta muy cerca. Asi mismo el Manager Raul o Ashanti regularmente programan eventos para que los residentes se puedan conocer. Mi esposo y yo estamos muy contentos
The Stories community in Rockville, Maryland is in an attractive location near good public transportation, shopping and houses of worship. Management also organizes and supports many resident activities. I have lived here more than six years and hope stay here for more years to come.
Used to be a good place, until un professional management took over.
This is a great community. The office staff are friendly, professional and helpful. The property is well kept.
La atención del personal de trabajo en The Stories es excelente, son amables y resuelven cualquier dificultad de forma inmediata. El ingreso a los apartamentos se mantiene limpio, así como como las alfombras de los corredores. Por otro lado, la ubicación es ideal, esta en un lugar céntrico y silencioso
I have had a wonderful experience staying in this community. The place is beautifully maintained, the management is great and my neighbors are awesome. The management organizes parties that are fun and build a sense of belonging. Sneha
Accessible public transportation and essential shopping are readily available, and the overall residential community is not too small or too big.
This is a great community. All the residents and staff members are respectful and courteous. It’s always quiet and the grounds are well kept. I love living here.
The Stories is a great community. The residents around me are quiet, the building is in a fantastic location right next to the Congressional Plaza shopping area, and a 15 minute walk from the metro into DC. The staff are friendly and professional, and the package receiving system is fairly streamlined and safe.
I have lived here for 10 years! I have seen several property managers, some good, some not so good but I always try to reasonable with my expectations. At one point I wanted to move out because of the maintenance issues and lack of action by the property manager “of the moment”, then I changed my mind because not only we got a very competent manager, the useless maintenance guys left and we got two professional skilled and courteous, real technicians that knew what they were doing!! Unfortunately they all left and for some reason they brought back that incompetent, irresponsible and arrogant maintenance guy!! He not only does not know how to fix maintenance issues, he ignores EMERGENCY CALLS!! It is not safe to live here at the Stories anymore because if you have an emergency, you are on your own!! Sadly not only the property manager is unable to do anything, the regional manager or whatever their title is, doesn’t care to respond to complaints!!! I AM NOT THE ONLY RESIDENT FED UP
