I would recommend The Estates to those who are looking for apartments in the Pikesville area. My wife and I have lived here for approx 2 years and have enjoyed our stay! The staff is excellent and ALWAYS respond to any problems that may occur in your unit. The office staff is polite, friendly, and cares about their tenants. Yes, the gates may not work all the time, but they are on top of fixing them when that occurs. If I was not starting dental school and needed to get closer to downtown Baltimore I would have definitely stayed!!!
