Great Place, High Rent

I've lived at Governor#s Green for over two years and I still love it. The ground are well kept and the area is generally nice and peaceful. Car theft is a steady problem (1 every three months or so). The apartments are roomy, well appointed, and new. My unit has a really long living room which helps accommodate my large tv and bedrooms that are far enough apart as to insure some measure of privacy between roomates.

People are respectful and generally keep to themselves. Parking in some areas can be a problem. Over the last year or so more families with children have moved in but, still, I have not had any problems with excesive noise or anything. Getting into and out of the complex is an annoyance as the lights at the intersection do not last long enough.

The complex is located at the intersection of Routes 301, 50 and 3. All this means easy access to all points North (Baltimore, NY), west (Washington, VA), South (Richmond, Southern MD) and east (Ocean City). The New Carolton train station (Marc, Metro, Amtrak and Greyhound) is less than 10 miles away and BWI is about 20 miles north. The Bowie Town Center along with a movie theater is within 3 miles and there a lot of resturants located to choose from.

To me, if you want to live in the burbs, but still have easy access to city life, Bowie is an ideal location to live - you've got easy access to everything. You can party-harty and come home to peace and quiet.

My only compliant, like everyone else, is that the rent is way too high. Sadly this going to be my last year because I frankly can't afford it anymore. I love it but its being priced out of my budget. It would be great if management offered people the same discounts to stay on as they do to move in.
