Comes with the Good and Bad
Yes, the walls and ceilings are super thin. You can hear people going up and down the outside wooden stairs. I had the unfortunate situation of living on the second floor: had an upstairs neighbor that would lift weights at 3 am and drop them constantly on the floor, waking me up, and annoying neighbors on the first floor that would play super loud music till the wee hours of the morning. But you can find ignorant, rude people in any apartment complex you move to. If you move here, spend the extra $$ a month and get an apartment on the 3rd floor. All in all, a quiet community mostly of small families, single people, and military members. Surrounded by the beautiful Patuxent River and wooded area. Plenty of biking/running/walking trails, and a fairly decent gym available to renters. The above average prices in rent, to me, were worth it to have a fairly safe, community feel to your home, which you don't get with many apartment complexes in the area. DO BE ADVISED: while living here, my car was keyed numerous times in the parking lot, and my boyfriend's car (as well as many other resident's cars) were broken in to during the middle of the night and his GPS and stereo stolen. There is NO security for your car in regards to cameras, parking permits, security patrol. The thieves know this is a fairly prominent community and also know there is no security in the parking lot, and they TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. And the staff takes NO responsiblity to help. They were downright rude to us when we told them about the thefts. The staff itself is helpful or incredibly ------ depending on who you talk to. Maintentance problems were fixed in a timely manner, usually during the day while I was at work. As the apartments were fairly new at the time, I hardly had any maintenance problems to begin with. All in all, I enjoyed living there despite the vandalism and theft to the vehicles. Just make sure you don't have a nice car, or if you do, have a good security system installed in it.Share This Review
