Not worth the amount of money you pay in rent.

I am very disappointed with how the complex is run. The 24 hour guarantee means nothing and often not kept. You never know when someone is coming or has been in your apartment. People who say they are maintenance have keys to come and do routine service but they are not known to be staff. Mgmt is untruthful about the utilities, you pay for garbage, sewage and water also, which can run over $55 for s&w EACH. Plus, they do not mention the Baysox play next door and you can expect loud booming fireworks atleast 3 or 4 nights (including weeknights at 10pm) all during the spring and summer. During the winter you can expect to shovel your own stairs and walkways. This will definitely not be a lease renewal situation.

Wow, I am seeing a trend with "Dmoney 916." Seems that you are really defending Governors Green. Unfortunately, such an opinion is expected from management. Please allow current and former residents the opportunity to warn the public of the problems with your apartment complex. Again, you should probably have your facts straight before you defend this complex. Management is untruthful.

You should have seen the BIG ELECTRIC BOWIE BAYSOX SIGN before entering the complex, so they shouldn't have to tell you that the baseball stadium is right next to it unless you're blind. Plus, that's only in the spring/summer. And, management isn't untruthful about utilities... they say from the beginning, it says online and it even says IN THE LEASE that no utilities are included. Management may be incompetent, are horrible about returning phone calls and tend to not know what they're talking about, but if you're going to complain at least be accurate about it instead of complaining about things that were your fault that you overlooked. People who don't read their leases shouldn't complain about what's in them.... if you had such a problem with utilities not being included then you shouldn't have signed a lease agreeing to pay for all utilities. Moral of the story for ANY apartment complex: do your research ahead of time, know what you're stepping into before you even visit, know what questions to ask and READ EVERYTHING.
