Looking for Recommendations on Where to Move in Silver Spring

Hi everyone,

I currently live in North Jersey (Bergen County, to be exact), and I'm planning to move to Maryland alone in November. I mention where I live because I'm not a super busy city type of person (I stay out of NYC whenever possible) - I value quiet nights and safety.

I'm looking for recommendations for places relatively close to the Red Line. While I'm considering Silver Spring, I'm not exclusively set on Downtown Silver Spring (DTSS). I'm also looking into areas like Forest Glen, Woodside, and similar locations along the Red Line.

I'll be commuting to DC for work via Metro 2-3 days a week. My budget for rent is under $2300, and I have one car. My only requirements are off-street parking and an in-unit washer and dryer (although I can forgo the in-unit washer/dryer if the apartment is safe and pest-free).

Any recommendations on good apartment buildings and/or areas to avoid as I continue to narrow down my options? Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks everyone! After much deliberation I decided to go with a place in Wheaton near the redline. Happy it's reopening just in time for my move.
