I have been living here in a one bedroom apartment with my fiance since the end of April 2008. The apartment itself is quite nice and very large for the price you pay. I've only seen a few different kinds of bugs, and never repeat offenders (meaning never seeing the same kind of bug twice). The BGE bills are crazy expensive (over $100 a month!) and I am not sure why since supposedly the windows are new. Water bill runs about $20 a month. Kids are constantly playing in the street and the walls could be thicker.

The biggest problem with the complex is safety. I do not feel comfortable when I come home after dark. One of my next door neighbors was carjacked at gun point right outside. (You can read her review here too). My fiance's car was broken into among almost every other car in the lot and the management does not do anything adequate to prevent these incidents from occuring. Every morning I leave the apartment I wonder if my jeep will still be in the lot.

When work needs to be done in the apartment, expect to wait about a week and then remind the office before you get someone to come and take care of it. Also, the laundry machines barely work and are tiny. We bring everything to the laundromat down the road.

We plan to relocate at the end of our lease. If safety is a concern for you, this is not the place to live.

Most of this review is ridicules. The maint stuff...ok I understand that complaint. I lived ( and worked here) but I left b/c maint staff wasnt doing their job and I was getting frusturated. But the line of " My fiance's car was broken into among almost every other car in the lot and the management does not do anything adequate to prevent these incidents from occuring." AGAIN...MANAGEMENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER WHAT PEOPLE DO! Crime is everywhere. Did you expect the manager to stand guard by the cars at night and chase after people? No. Short of calling the police and sending out letters to residents ( which letters were sent out b/c I did them) then there is nothing else. Management isnt allowed to become law enforcement. It just doesnt work that way. So...be aware. If you went to a shopping center and your car was broken into would you hold the shopping center responsble????? Also...BGE being over 100 for 2 people is normal. When you say "over 100" do you mean 110, 120, or 175, 180??? Because if you havent noticed, BGE (along with gas, food, rent, water, cost of living, clothing, EVERYTHING) has gone up. "over 100" is actually good for 2 people. I'm conservation and live with my fiancee as well in a 3 BEDROOM TOWNHOUSE and pay about 150 monthly. How the hell is 100 too high????????

Ok... you are entitled to your thoughts... no need to be mean about it. I was trying to give people my honest view. But those letters you typed up were in vain, because we have never received any notices from management regarding the increase in the crime rate, and when we went to them with our concerns they said they knew nothing about it because no one had told them, so clearly there is a lack of communication. I have seen an increase in police patrol more lately, which is good. However, management could consider making this a closed community since there are only two exits, or add security cameras. I know they aren't police, but there are things that can be done. Regarding BGE, our bills in the summer averaged around $130. This is the first complex I have lived in where electric was not included, but I have many friends who also live in various communities in one-bedroom apartments and when I mentioned how much I paid they were shocked and told me to contact the company because that was almost twice what they were paying. This is the knowledge I have to go by. Plus, a few years ago I lived in a three-story, 6 bedroom house, and the monthly gas and electric I recall was about $200... so I naturally thought a much smaller home should cost a bit less, but perhaps I am wrong.

anonymous on 11/27, it seems like you go around responding to peoples comments with a lot of rudeness and on multiple apartments.(from your writing style and dates) You need a hobby, mate.. or better still treatment... we all understand apartment ratings is likely to have more negative reviews than positive ones because people who are happy don't go looking to rate apartment complexes, only people who are having problems with it... so we come here to read the negatives and find out if we can deal with that same issue if it happened to us... so deal with it.

By your response to this guys post it makes people don't even want to come here. You could be more professional. I understand being upset, but for people who don't live here it is his honest opinion. Thank you person!
