I will be a new resident in Dec. I read these reviews before I visited the property, and still I went and checked it out. The property was nice and clean. I didn't have a problem with the staff. I do however think that the rental rates for the renovated apartments are ridiculous! Some of the reviews stated that the electric bills are crazy high. Can someone just give me a little example of what they consider high and apt size. I currently pay electric where I live now and my Pepco runs about 100.00 or so in the winter and of course lower in the summer.

For a one bedroom apartment our BGE bill was well over $200, and I know there were some there that had 2 bedrooms that paid over 300-400 maybe a little more. You haven't had a problem with the staff yet, but I don't think anyone ever does at first, you have to be living there to have an issue. It's just too expensive there for what you get, and the previous management was much more efficient. Hopefully you are not in the back of the complex by the shopping center because if you are a light sleeper you will hear the trucks loading very early in the a.m., not to mention the walls are pretty thin so you can hear your neighbors if they are the least bit loud. I think you only have the option for Comcast and not Verizon too for cable. There are better places in the area to live that aren't as pricey too, but you might have to be on a waiting list.

we had a 2 br and our bill was 250-300, and this was back BEFORE the rate hike. we had to have a space heater in the living room because the windows let so much cold air in. good luck, as the staff was really nice until AFTER we moved in (well, actually the DAY we moved in, you can see my review for further details...)

I was concerned with the electric bill also so what I did was call BGE and got the highest total and the average spent over the last 12 months. When they gave me the figures I thought it was pretty reasonable nothing like what Im reading. I also know some that live in the neighborhood and got their input. Again, nothing like was is being reported. 200 to 300 being paid for electric is crazy. You just have to monitor yourself.
