Hit the Trails in the DMV

Spend the last days of summer enjoying the trails around the DMV. Polinger Company has a community near some of the best in the area.

Rock Creek Park, considered a gem in our nation’s capital, offers the ideal setting to peacefully take in the beauty of nature. There are over 32 miles of trails, while all roads and paved trails welcome bicyclists. The Swift at Petworth is approximately eight minutes away and perfect for its residents with dogs.

The same could be said about 4000 Massachusetts, as their community not only offers the best of the best in luxury apartment living, but they’re also right by this park, and with quick and easy access to transportation, residents have no trouble getting out for a fun-filled day of enjoying the great outdoors. Among other ideal communities, The Highlands of Chevy Chase is only about ten minutes away, along with many other attractions to enjoy in the fall.  

Brighton Village has trails all throughout the community with a basketball court and soccer field adjacent to the back of the community at Malcolm King Park. Located in the welcoming and upbeat city of Gaithersburg, Brighton Village is about five minutes away from Boherer Park with its open spaces and sports fields.

Northwest Branch Trail runs between Hyattsville and Silver Spring and is an integral part of the Anacostia Tributary Trail System. This scenic trail extends north of the Capital Beltway to Wheaton Regional Park. It provides a wilderness-like experience and is perfect for those who want to get out for a calming walk or hike amidst the beauty of Mother Nature. While offering their very own aerobics trails, Country Place is also not far from this trail. Not only is this a great way to exercise, but it also allows you to clear your head and really embrace all that the great outdoors has to offer. Country Place is also about five minutes away from Fairland’s Park, which has a playground, basketball court, baseball field, and other fun activities. It’s also an ideal spot to just relax and take in the beauty of nature during the summer.

Cabin John Recreational Park is considered one of Montgomery County’s best combinations of nature, sports, and recreation. It consists of various athletic fields, an ice-skating rink, picnic areas, trails, and scenic campsites. It’s also just minutes from Bethesda Place. Both Congressional Towers and Rollins Park offer the Rollins Congressional Club to their residents, but some days you just have to get outside. Both communities are also conveniently located just a few minutes away from Cabin John Recreational Park.

Polinger is proud to manage communities that have so much to offer inside and out. While each provides various unique apartment features and community amenities to keep you smiling and stress-free, they are all located in beautiful areas that allow residents to improve their health and happiness by enjoying nature.

Sky-High Amenities

One of the many perks of city living is the rooftop of our apartment buildings. Summer is here and the rooftop decks are open and ready for entertaining and relaxing. 

Aura Pentagon City features two pools on rooftops along with sundecks with grills and seating areas. 

Not only do our 2401 Pennsylvania Avenue and Swift Petworth communities offer gorgeous apartments in NW DC; they’re also perfectly located for spectacular views of the Fourth of July fireworks. 

Each year residents and their guests gather to enjoy food, fun, and fireworks all from the convenience of their own apartment building. At The Swift in Petworth, there are commercial-grade grills that may be reserved for your entertaining needs and a cozy fire pit to warm up the cooler nights. 2401 Pennsylvania Ave. treats its residents to some of the best views of Georgetown and Foggy Bottom from its rooftop terrace creating a calming oasis away from the bustling city.

Only a few miles outside of DC in downtown Chevy Chase, MD, you’ll find The Highlands of Chevy Chase. These two sister buildings sit in the well-landscaped neighborhood of Friendship Village and both feature rooftop sundecks with swimming pools. Shaded tables line the sundecks to provide a comfortable outdoors for all visitors. The large swimming pools are appointed with lush greenery and relaxing lawn chairs to provide the ultimate relaxing experience. The beautiful tree-lined views sprinkled with the cityscape provide a unique panoramic view. Both communities treat their residents to a refreshing atmosphere suitable for all ages high above the busy city. 

It’s great to take advantage of these amenities during the hot summers of Washington, DC, and Maryland. A rooftop deck and swimming pool can make a “staycation” feel like a true getaway. For more information on Polinger Company and apartments to rent, visit polingerco.com.
