There are scores of suburban garden apartment complexes in that area of Silver Spring which are similar. Top of the Park has nicer landscaping than most -- more shrubbery and ground planting, in contrast to standard garden apartment landscaping of grass lawn only.

My distinction between urban and suburban is the inclusiveness or exclusiveness of the civic space. Are strangers welcome on the streets and sidewalks of Top of the Park? My guess is in that in general, the answer is no. Contrast that to most streets and blocks in DC, where strangers are free to walk the sidewalks and everyone takes that freedom for granted.
