7208 Bowdoin Ave #5, College Park, MD 20740

This rarely available junior one bedroom penthouse suite is available now and you can be the lucky new occupant! Why rent a room in a crowded house when you can have this apartment all to yourself for the same price? Also, you can not get closer to Metro than this! Less than a one minute walk to the College Park Metro Station (Green and Yellow lines) and the MARC train to DC or Baltimore. Walking distance to USDA, NOAA, and the University of Maryland. Take the free shuttle from your doorstep to UMD, the PG shopping mall, grocery stores (new Trader Joe's will be opening about a half a mile away later this year), etc. Also close to NASA and the FDA. There's nearby shopping, restaurants, bars, bike and walking paths. Obviously, you can easily live here without a car, but if you do have a car there's a driveway parking spot included with the rent giving you free off street parking. This large penthouse/attic apartment takes up the entire third, top floor level in a five unit building located in a historic community. This is a self contained unit, not a room in a group house. You have your own private bathroom in the apartment. You have your own kitchen in the apartment but there is no stove due to city regulations, however microwaves, toaster ovens, hot plates, etc. are allowed. The building does have central A/C but there's also a window air conditioning unit to help augment the central AC for hot summer days when the top floor gets warm. Access to the washer and dryer in the common area is free. Rent is $1197 a month and you would be responsible for paying 1/5th of the utilities (water, electric, gas, and Internet) The apartment is available for occupancy starting August 1st, single occupancy only (no couples or families), no smoking or vaping inside the building, and a refundable security deposit equal to one month's rent is required. The only application "fee" is $45 to run a tenant screening. Message me for the link to a video tour of the apartment or for the link to schedule an in person showing or if you have any questions. Thanks for looking! Utilities are shared and split between the tenants in the building and averages about $100 a month for everything (water, electric, gas, FIOS Internet / WiFi)
