Resident 2012 - 2013

1/10/2013

I lived here at Parke Laurel for 7 months so far. I have no issues with this place. PROS; nice size apartment (I have a 1 bedroom)770 sq Affordable-not as cheap as it is if you lived inside 495,(Laurel is a bit pricy) but not also paying a mortgage for rent. Try to get a special though Quiet Area-I hear no loud music, bad kids, etc. Clean/Beautiful landscaping-No trash everywhere unlike other communities in PG County Safe-I have gone jogging at night during the spring/summer/fall and have not been attacked. Plus you can see lots of people walk their dogs at night. Also in our building, we know our neighbors and cars they drive just in case something isnt going right, we loko out for each other. I was at first reserved but it feels good to have some neighbors that speak to you in passing and actually look out for you when you are out of town. CONS: Fees-You pay a trash removal fee. People come and pick up your trash outside your door, even though there is a dumpster outside my building Maintenence-The turnaround time is variable. I had to go back and inquire about a work order I placed a week ago. Large community/not so large maintence staff, however when its fixed it stays fixed. Management-Staff changes every 3-5 months...So dont get used to the Leasing Consultants. Martin, the Assistant Property Mgr is ok, you have to make sure he stays on top of things. I NEVER met Khamilah, the Property Mgr. No Package Drop Off-If you get packages, you have to go to UPS and pick them up or wait for them to come the enxt day, the staff doesnt accept packages. For the most part, I will renew my lease here. I like it here. As a young govt professional, this is a stepping stone until I purchase my home in a few years. I read the reviews before moving here and some where from old management which are no longer here (I did my research). I dont have roaches, nor bed bugs as I keep my house clean. I rarely see any kids playing, and when I do they are usually with their parents on the Tot lots, or at the pool which is in the back of the community, Also across Contee Road is another park and Soccer Field.
