I just moved from there in March '08. They have started renovating there when i left. The biggest issue is the elevators, parking, and the building gets very dirty. Living there was ok for me nothing happended my unit was ok there is noise, children running down the halls, stinky trashroom. the building can get very dirty and the lobby is only clean during business hours, mail,trash can be found all over in the lobby and hallways in the evenings and weekends. Im not sure what building your moving in but most of building 5800 is renovated so they may push you in there. It makes no sense to take a non-renovated unit you will be forced to move out or transfer to a new unit in the future. Thats what happened to me and i choose to leave the property all together, they gonna show you the good to get you to move in. Maintanence is slow to responding and you may have to call several times to get a response. Overall, its ok but you can live better for the rent they are charging for these units. The hallways look a mess and painting is needed badly. They making improvements but if your patient then you can sit around and wait.

SERIOUSLY, I have been living in the rental office building,, which is 5802 Annapolis Rd, and it has been terrible. Everything that everyone has said negative IS TRUE! I have seen roaches everday for the past 13 months all over my apartment. Not just one or two, I'm talking about at least 10 a day. In my bathroom, on my bed, in my sheets, on my dishes in the kitchen, the living sofas, the jacket closet near my front door, I mean pretty much every place in my unit -- there are roaches in it! If you move here after reading all of these reviews, which are not ironically all negative for nothing -- THIS IS FACTUAL INFO and if you move here you are seriously a BIG FOOL! I never received my referral fee of $500 from the rental office, the maintenance sucks and they take months to fix anything, security is not consistent. I mean, anything that you can possibly think of that you wish could never happen living in an apartment HAPPENS HERE! Serioulsy, it's probably worse than "Good Times" because unlike JJ and Penny, there are NO GOODTIMES living at the Phoenix. The rent is ridiculous -- now starting at $40 shy of $1100 for a one bedroom. Utilies ARE NOW BEING CHARGED FOR EXISTING TENANTS WHO RENEW THEIR LEASE AND NEW TENANTS! The worse part about it -- you are not being charged for actual usage instead it is supposed to be based on how many people live in your unit and square footage but this is NOT the case b/c I have spoken with several people who have complaints that their bill is from $200-400 and it's like this whether you have a one or a two bedroom renovated or not! JUST RIDICULOUS. DON'T MOVE HERE. I don't have mice but roaches are a disturbing issue...it's like there are millions because they never stop coming I swear. They are even in the dayum elevators for God's sake...RIDICULOUS! And the leasing consultants are rude and unprofessional to the highest degree. I can't wait until my lease is up because I am getting the hell up out of here immediately. P.S. The laundry machines do not work 9 out of 10 times and people are still pissing in the elevators. They finally just changed the carpet on almost all floors in the 5802 bldg. but things are still not improving. POOR COMMUNITY, POOR SERVICE, POOR QUALITY. The Donaldson Group -- I will never rent from you again!
