    What's special

    Air cleanerTemperature and humidity sensorUv lamps
    This is a two-bedroom, fully separate apartment located in a three-story house in a safe, upper-middle-class neighborhood close to Washington, D.C., near I-495 and Westfield Montgomery Mall. The property sits on nearly 2.5 acres and features a small private forest in the backyard. This is a unique opportunity in Bethesda, allowing you not only to see some wildlife but also to have a garden where you can grow organic vegetables and even raise chickens. This is a very desirable neighborhood with many famous residents nearby. It is an ideal choice for families with children who want access to excellent public school education(Winston Churchill school cluster is the top in MD), featuring highly motivated and intelligent students, all at a more affordable price. This Airbnb-style apartment is particularly suited for parents relocating from other regions, as it requires no need to purchase furniture. Parents can easily enroll their kids in top public schools such as Seven Locks Elementary School, Cabin John Middle School(The best in MD), and Winston Churchill High School. This location is also perfect for those seeking to rent in one of the safest areas, with easy access to downtown Washington D.C. (just 15 minutes by car with no traffic) or Bethesda NIH (approximately 12 minutes by car with no traffic).There is a convenient bus stop nearby, making it ideal for those working in downtown Bethesda or D.C Additionally, it's a great option for those looking to be close to world-class medical facilities, including Walter Reed, NIH, and Johns Hopkins Hospital. The neighborhood also welcomes educated foreigners, as we have a large German, French, and Japanese community, along with many affluent residents from around the globe. The apartment is equipped with a temperature and humidity sensor, an air cleaner, and UV lamps that kill mold and bacteria throughout the house. You can control the temperature, humidity, and air quality using an app. The rent for a short-term lease, which includes all utilities, internet, Max, Disney, and Netflix, is $3,800 per month. For a long-term lease of one year or more, the rent is $3200 per month (without access to public schools) or $3600 with access to public schools, including utilities. Free parking. After my research, I believe this area is one of the best in Maryland, especially for parents who want to provide excellent education for their children. It also offers easy access to some of the best museums and concert halls in the United States. Must have min. credit score of 650 and min 100 K income per year and at least 2 references. Utilities are included.
