Resident 2011 - 2012

Most likely you are a med student looking for somewhere to live near the hospital, right? Well, unless the Marlboro is your only other option (and that place is a smelly pit) Camden Court is a horrible place to live. Where to begin? It's in a very undesirable area. The word "Downtown" usually evokes an image of buisnesses, but here it is borderline ------. Don't let anyone glamourize it by saying it's "near" the Inner Harbor. It's about six blocks away. The fire alarms go off ALL THE TIME. Seriously. And there is never a fire, they just like to set them off. FOR HOURS. Think the fire station located right next door means there will be a prompt and efficient response to the alarms going off? THINK AGAIN. There is a FIRE STATION NEXT DOOR. You get the joy of hearing the trucks come and go at all hours. There is a train station just a few steps north. So the trains are under your windows. And they are not quiet. Don't ever open the windows, because then you will realize you are paying an exorbitant amount of money to feel as though you live on the streets. At least as far as the decible levels are concerned. The street noise is excessive here, espeically during the Baltimore Grand Prix. Or Orioles games. Ugh. Parking is expensive, and if you go the 'cheaper' (by $25.00) route, you get to park across the street at the First Mariner Arena parking. Which is constantly busy with events for the Arena (of course.) There is no assigned parking there, so you better just not go anywhere when there is a big show, because there is no guarantee you will have a parking spot even though you pay monthly for one. Think the low security deposit is awesome? Well, they surprise you with a long list of exorbitant possible charges when you give notice that you will be moving out. Also, you must give two month's notice prior to moving. I've never heard of this before, and I have lived in three major cities. The "security" is laughable. Mostly uninterested young women surfing the net and talking on their cell phones, when they are not 'doing their rounds" (that is, taking a smoke break.) People smoke in the stairways. WTH? There are random corners in many rooms, making it difficult to arrange your furniture. The kitchen is ridiculously small. Unless all you do is order out. The heaters are giant boxes located under the windows, taking up much floor space. You can feel the outside air blowing in from the OUTLETS. This will increase your already way too damn high (thanks, BGE) electricity bill. There is no storage space, and very little closet space. You'd better not have much stuff. This is not a place to have children. There is nothing for them to do here or nearby, and just crossing the street when you leave can be treacherous. There are much better places to live, if you absolutely must live in Baltimore. I would advise against living in the city at all, especially if you don't enjoy paying excessive city taxes.
