Apartments and Condos Near Grosvenor-Strathmore 

Avalon at Grosvenor
This is where I live. It is as close to the Metro stop as you can get. It is also great building with an on-site office, a pool, lots of parking, and a gym. Drop me a note if you want to know more about the building.
Park Side Condos
After the Avalon, this is the second closest set of buildings to the Metro stop. I've been into one of these condos and it seemed quite nice--but since they are individually owned, your mileage may vary. Apparently you can get permission to plant a small garden behind the condo building, which I think is great.
Ten Ten One
This building is across Rockville Pike from the Metro station. It looks a little more rough around the edges in person than it does in the photos--but the building does have a lot of great features: pool, gym, a small grocery store near by, and tons of parking.

Entertainment Near Grosvenor-Strathmore
