Best residence for the value! I have been a resident here for almost 3 years, and enjoying every moment of it! Not only is the community jam packed with everything one could want in their community (quality schools, emergency services and SEVERAL grocery stores, restaurants and more within walking distance, or 5-10 minutes away by car), but the professional staff (BOTH office staff and maintenance personnel) at Briarcliff Apartments are also hard at work in behalf of residents! From building/safety issues, courtesy trash pick up, EXCELLENT snow removal (they worked very proactively before, during and after storm in our most recent snowstorm of 28-30 inches, to clear lots as fast as possible, given the size of this recent event, as all of us worked to help each other dig our cars out), timely text/email/circular alerts provided (things ranging from announcing community perks like movie night, regular/special events regularly hosted by or provided by Briarcliff, weather hazard alerts/personal safety tips/freeze warning tips and more!), very efficient and convenient washer and dryer units (we've been able to do ALL of our laundry right at home!), beautiful, quiet grounds and also neighbors that are actually neighborly, whom you can say hi to, and not have to always worry about disturbances and the like! During my stay here, we've had only a couple of "natural wear and tear" issues (a small kitchen pipe issue, and a need to refill the AC coolant system), but they were very fast AND friendly, and since they do so much to keep the property up, any issues have been VERY rare! Also, construction of the apartments is in such a way that you don't hear your neighbors' doings through the walls, AT ALL! I have lived in other nearby residences in the Baltimore, Towson and Cockeysville areas, and many of them have had a few amenities, but NOT MANY communities offer as much as Briarcliff! And what is more, Briarcliff works hard to make it an ENJOYABLE community to live in! read more

We moved here on May 2, 2004 and loved it ever since. Trash removal: Three days a week is more than adequate. Going to five days is even better. Having containers for trash is a plus. EXCELLENT. Personnel: Office staff, maintenance crew and custodial personal are always pleasant, courteous and eager to please. They never fail to acknowledge us with a wave, horn toot, etc. , when passing. EXCELLENT. Maintenance: Requests are always handled promptly. The men are always courteous, professional and knowledgeable. I like the ability to request service on line. EXCELLENT. One concern. We recently made three requests (toilet, bath but and clothes dryer) in a short period of time. Maintenance arrived promptly but was unable to complete work on any. They have not yet been back. We expect this is just an anomaly so still rate this as excellent. Outside Appearance: Landscaping. EXCELLENT. CONCERNS Dumpsters: Residents placing trash around overfilled dumpsters is disgusting and unnecessary. An overfilled recycling dumpster is annoying but doesn't excuse piling stuff around it. We cannot see this from out apartment but it must be almost unbearable for those who view them from their balconies. It embarrasses us when our guests see them that way. POOR. Kitchen water temperature. Periodically we get hot water from the cold water faucet. The water has to run a number of several minutes before getting cool. No one has had an answer. ANNOYANCE. Street Lamps. Some are unlit and some removed since we moved in. The one in front of 10333 was removes and the stump of it is left. Lit street lamps made this more like a village than a compound. COMMENT. read more

I have lived at Briarcliff since August and I am very happy so far. When I first moved in there was an issue with my AC that took over a month and 4 calls to maintenance before it was fixed. We'll see how it goes this Spring when I turn the AC on again, but I think they finally figured it out. Other than that I have had no problems. The maintenance guys are very pleasant and friendly when I see them around the community. I pay rent online so I do not go into the office much, but the times I have stopped in the ladies were very pleasant and helpful. My building is very quiet and the other tenants are all friendly. I have become friends with some of my "building mates". All units have full-sized washer/dryer which is great. I live in the back of my building and it looks out over a wooded area and golf course. It's very peaceful to sit out there for dinner or just to relax in the summer. There is an Olympic sized pool which is great during the summer. We have tennis courts that I don't use, but that is a nice amenity for some. No gym, but I belong to Merritt which is right across the street. It takes me 5 minutes to walk there so no more excuse not to go. Parking is not an issue at all. I love that there are numerous choices for grocery shopping and tons of great restaurants. 83 and 695 are easy to get to. It's a great location. I feel very safe here. I do wish they would review their pet policy and allow for 2 small dogs. Other apartment communities I considered do allow 2 pets. I will most likely be renewing my lease this summer, but a review of the pet policy would seal the deal for sure. A dog park would be the icing on the cake. :) read more

We've resided here for almost 5 years now. Honestly, the way I see it, Briarcliff and I will grow old together. The staff, resident community, and maintenance provide the most personal and enjoyable experience you'll find in apartment living. Management is constantly proactive in providing a safe, clean and updated complex, keeping costs reasonable and competitive. There has been no storm or situation too big for them to handle. Around the clock, we're provided with a service team clearing the complex, and doing their best to provide timely access with safety in mind. You'll enjoy your choice of very quiet privacy, or community interaction and activity at any time. Briarcliff offers amenities and living choices to include everyone from singles, to couples with and without children, to retired residents, and those with pets. Inside your unit, you'll find very spacious living, far exceeding competitors. Storage is plentiful, and you also will enjoy newly updated windows throughout. A call to maintenance staff at any time will be answered by a live person, and responded to in a very efficient time fame. I've referred family members here as well, who've chosen to make Briarcliff their home. Residing here, you're within walking distance of shopping, schools, nightlife, Merritt Athletic, banking and more. Public transportation access is literally across the street as well. The surrounding area is accommodating to a variety of interests, and close access to I-83 and 695. Your only regret choosing Briarcliff, was that you didn't come here sooner. read more

From the spacious rooms (which were greatest value per sq ft when I moved in nearly 5 years ago) to the excellent maintenance staff, this apartment complex is the best! I generally don't stay in one apartment for more than a year mainly because I could find a better deal, but that has not been the case with Briarcliff! The rent is amazing, the yearly increases are reasonable and the maintenance staff is still polite,professional, timely and friendly. Briarcliff will even remove you trash when you set it outside your door on the scheduled removal days with makes life so much more simple. Did I mention that the maintenance staff is timely, polite, professional, timely and friendly? I have lived here almost 5 years and the maintenance staff workers always smile and wave whenever they drive by. They do a fantastic job of cleaning the stairwells and the main entrance ways to the buildings to great those with a clean and welcoming feeling. Briarcliff is by far the best place I have lived with places and shopping all within 5-10 driving minuets away, it makes the location awesome! What if you use Public Transporation? Well lucky you! there are bus stops right outside the main entrances and a light rail all in the same area! This is truly an amazing location with many amenities to make living a little more simple. read more

I moved in one year ago and I can say I'm home. Everyone has been great, professional and courteous. From leasing consultant (Gabby) to maintenance, who by the way do a fantastic job. Gabby was very informative and helpful. Told me what was needed to sign my lease and gave me the time to do it. Very grateful for that. I've never had to call maintenance twice with a problem, most times it was handled the same day. Grounds are very well kept and they gently remind residents to keep it that way. They are very friendly and go out of their way to say hi. The valet trash is a plus for me as I have health problems that prevent me from taking my trash to the dumpster. I might add the dumpsters are away from the buildings and dumped regularly. Love the spacious apartment and closets. Washer and dryer in unit which I needed. My appliances aren't new and that's fine with me because this meets my budget. Two year lease signed and God willing will renew if nothing changes. Would HIGHLY recommend Briarcliff North as your next new home. Thanks J C Chaplin read more

I work in the hospitality industry at a hotel not that far from Briarcliff. I know a thing or two about service and what people expect when they are looking for a place to rest - be it permanent or temporary! Hands down, the staff here are incredibly kind. I once had a problem with my patio door not locking and it made me nervous even being on the second floor. Maintenance made it out to my home the next day to fix the lock! The property manager actually came out himself to inspect and make sure I was happy. That's service! I actually don't drive, so having a bus stop that I can see from my window is amazing. My neighbors usually keep to themselves, but I never hear them unless someone's literally right outside my door walking by. Truthfully, the concrete is what got me to move. My daughter loves the playgrounds and the sprinkler area that's at the pool. read more

I lived at Briarcliff for 2 years and had a wonderful experience. I stayed in a 2 bed 1.5 bath apartment that had plenty of space and the layout of the apartment made sense - unlike a vast majority of apartments in the Baltimore area. The walls did not let any sound through, however the floors/ceilings did, as well as the the entryway door. I did habe to complain to my neighbor above me a few times and let management know, and management responded quickly and professionaly to help resolve the issue. The grounds were well kept and the landscaping was excellent. I enjoyed going to the pool as it seemed to never be busy, so it had a nice calm and relaxing energy to it, and it always clean and well maintained. 10/10 would live here again, and I would have stayed living here if I hadn't had to relocate for work. read more

This was our first apartment for my boyfriend and I. We were really worried about the neighbors making noises since he works at night and sleeps during the day. But thanks to Briarcliff, the apartment was sound proof. Neighbors were nice. Briarcliff also provide valet trash service. Maintenance was on top of things. Since we chose the deluxe apartment kitchen and bathroom all of the appliances were brand new. It definitely is a spacious apartment for a one bedroom. The Olympic size pool and tennis court became one of our hang out spot during summer and spring. Oh, having washer and dryer in your own apartment is definitely a plus! read more

Coming from New York City, finding a place where I had my own laundry machines, a dishwasher, and so much space for such a reasonable amount was a dream. I'm still loving the place. The only downside is that the North-specific apartments are not pet-friendly, and the pet friendly East apartments require cats to be decalwed, a practice I swore never to do to another cat since I saw what the procedure did to my own childhood cat and after learning more about what the procedure involves. However, other than the pet-policy and some issues submitting a non-emergency maintenance request, this place has been great to me :) read more

I have been living at Briarcliff since March of 2016. I am in a newly renovated "premium" unit across from the newly renovated pool and club house. The pool area is gorgeous! Everything inside of my apartment has been replaced and upgraded including the windows and my patio door. Believe it or not even the concrete was replaced on the patio. I love the location. It's minutes away from any where I want to be. The apartment is quiet, I never hear my adjacent neighbors. Before moving in I had done my homework. The living space for the price was unsurpassed. Overall it is the best value for the money! read more

My Family was really interested in moving here, but when I found out that one of their Tenants is running a Business and Bakery out of their Apartment (ie: Groovy Girl Cupcakes, Tenant: Tanisha Olin), I decided not too move here out of concern that she might one day set the apartment building on fire. My safety and the safety of my Family, especially my children will always come first. They need to shut down this illegal Bakery Business As Soon As Possible, plus it Violates Health Code Violations. read more

I was a previous tenant 4 years ago. Moved back about a week ago. The newly renovated Legacy apartments are amazing. Roxanne, who works in the leasing office, was extremely friendly and helpful. She went above and beyond to make the moving process absolutely flawless. In fact the entire staff in the office and the maintenance crew all deserve recognition for the level of service they provide. I couldn't be more pleased. read more

Definitely not a bad "starter" apartment. It is not "up to date", but I can say that there has never been any issues with insects or anything disgusting. Everyone is very nice (neighbors and staff). Pool is fun and it is in a great location! read more
