Americana Finmark (Silver Spring, MD) Real Estate News
Andrea Bedard, M.A. ~ REALTOR® & Mil Spouse ~ Silver Spring, MD and beyond (Thompson Company Realtors)
I was contacted a couple of weeks ago by a lovely couple in need of
a home away from home in Silver Spring, MD. While
I listened to their wants and needs I immediately thought of the
Americana Finnmark subdivision as the ideal
location: steps from Forest Glen Metro, just 1 stop south to
Downtown Silver Spring (new place of employment for one of my
clients) and 1 stop north to shopping and within close proximity to
local parks.
The Americana Finnmark condo development is a quiet community that
has a great reputation. It offers several amenities (tennis court,
swimming pool, playgrounds and BBQ gathering areas), is well
maintained and is also lead by a management team that is
approachable and on top of everything.
My clients agreed and jumped at the opportunity to call a condo at
Americana Finnmark their new home away from home.
Interested in buying or renting in the community? I have had
the pleasure of helping several clients find their new Americana
Finnmark home and I can help you, too.

you! Please contact me for a consultation.

Location,
location, location are the three words that best sum up
Americana Finnmark's appeal
for Silver Spring, MD home buyers! The condominium complex is
across the street from the Forest Glen Metro Station in
20902 Silver Spring,
MD.
It's also within close proximity
to the beltway, Holy Cross Hospital and neighborhood parks
such as General Getty's and McKenny Hills as well as Sligo Creek Park. Plenty of
shopping and restaurants are just one Metro stop
away in either direction: Westfield Wheaton Mall to the
north and Silver Spring Downtown to the
South.
Americana
Finnmark consists of several 3-story and one mid-rise
building with mostly 1 and 2 bedroom condos, all
of which have a private patio or balcony. Some condos feature a
washer & dryer in the unit, for the rest secured laundry rooms
are available on the basement level, free of charge. Many show
pride of ownership with beautifully maintained parquet flooring and
upgraded kitchens and baths.
The monthly condo fee
may seem steep at first glance. However, all
utilities - gas, electric, heat and water - are
included. The community is fully fenced in and also
features several amenities: tennis courts,
basketball court, picnic area, play-grounds and a swimming
pool.
In the interest of full disclosure, I
have to admit that Americana Finnmark is not the most
attractive subdivision - it's clean and ver well maintained but its
visual appeal is lacking a bit with its color scheme of brown,
brown and well, brown.
However, if you can look past that and
are searching for a condo near the Silver Spring, MD Metro,
Americana Finnmark is well worth a visit!
