            Thank you for review of North Forest Apartment Homes. What you describe is certainly not the impression that we want create. Unfortunately, the Crofton area has experienced unlawful activity more recently. Our community has taken the appropriate steps in these matters in addition to working with local law enforcement. If you would like to discuss these matters in further detail please contact Resident Services at your convenience. Kind regards, Alicia

                We do make every effort to find that balance between reasonable affordability and being competitive in the market. Much research and regionally specific comparisons go into determining pricing, including factors of age, size, community and apartment amenities. We truly hope you are able to find a community that can strike that balance within your own budget and apartment preferences. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.

I am glad that the resident services and service teams were able to address your concern so effectively.

                                              Complex is nice, but with the rent increase every year, should be doing upgrades to the apartments (new appliances NEW FRONT DOORS that fit properly). The staff is friendly and responsive to maintenance and other request. Overall 3.5 out of 5.
