Syringe found in parking area-drug usage in Burgess Mill Community

What you CAN EXPECT at this property is the ugliest, most despicable, conniving unethical and of course unprofessional "staff" (Mary & Stacey) even to the current regional "manager" (Linda). They care and cater to their section 8 tenants (which is not publicly known) more than people who pay/work. Expect to hear excessive noise (including hearing fights and your neighbors having SEX) during after hours with no recourse from "management" (they will state its normal apartment noises-sorry for the kids and babies hearing it)(your neighbors can hear your conversations-there's no soundproof/privacy), expect to have your personal and private information taped on your community mailbox, expect to have your emails and complaints not responded to/ignored..belittled and dismissed. Expect to be double charged for fees. Expect for childs play games..Expect for them to lie and say there aren't any rodent problems..when you can clearly hear mice running and scratching in the walls..running from other neighbors apartments. Expect to hear your neighbors threaten to stab one another..and syringes in the parking lot..trash overflowing and underneath stairwells..packages stolen and left in the middle of the pathways (need I say more?!)..the owners of this property are the housing authority (you're welcome- in which not much will be done from them either). If you are looking for TRUE privacy, peace/quiet..professionalism..safety..maturity/transparency from landlords..etc...you will absolutely NOT find that here (these are slumlords). Do not be fooled by photos (the toilets have black buildup (make sure you check)..old carpet (you will have to clean the carpet)..holes in the corners of walls/closets/oven floor area from mice getting in that you will have to get a professional to close up..door closing problems, parking issues, drug dealing in the community, cracks forming on your walls due to your upstairs neighbor stomping..uneven baseboards, ant problems, etc). THIS is the Burgess Mill Station/Humphrey Mgt. Way! For the current tenants reading this..please shed light on what you are experiencing and do not stop reporting on them!

I proudly displayed the American flag, On June 15th the flag was removed and I was told I cannot display it

When I started living here nearly 4 years ago it was wonderful. We had great and responsive…read moremanagement, lots of helpful service techs that came right away, problems were fixed fast, and the management went above and beyond for residents. Now, it feels like I'm living in a motel 6 while this place is marketed as a "luxury" building. I am a breast feeding mother, I have a newborn in my home. My freezer with all my breast milk repeatedly breaks and the new management has done NOTHING. They've basically swapped my fridge with another fridge from another apartment (same model) that seems to have the same issue. After they brought me a replacement fridge after days of hassle to even get that the same issue is happening. I call the front desk and the new manager basically says "well the fridge was fine before" as if a working, breastfeeding mother with a newborn has nothing better to do than to purposely break appliances and empty several refrigerators while they continue to "replace" them with more broken ones. And now the same issue is happening again and my husband and I scrambling to save whatever breast milk we can. Does management care? No. I don't know if they realize there is a formula shortage and breast milk is not a replaceable resource!! It takes hours of effort to make. This is the only food for my baby. To top this list of my laundry machine is very loud (again I have a baby at home!), all of the things that were "included" in rent are no longer provided : no more No more utilities, no more front desk, packages are just left all over the halls, all the things the previous management did to make residents feel special is done. Like some more recent reviewers said, don't read the old reviews for this place when making your decision, read the new ones.

I currently live at The Residences at Oella Mill. My husband and I have lived here for 3 years…read more Until 6-9 months ago this was a fantastic place to live. There were resident activities, quiet peaceful neighbors and a real sense of community. Sadly this place has changed, and in my opinion not for the good. The setting of the property is like out of a story book, nobody can deny that. The views over the Patapsco from my apartment are outstanding and I can watch bald eagles fly by daily. The condition of the building is also stellar, the cleaning and maintenance crews do an amazing job keeping the building and the grounds beautiful. Additionally, my apartment is a fantastic blend of modern and period architecture. It is a beautiful physical space to come home to. This is why I am giving this property 2 stars. For the reasons I am not giving more, please read on... The problem is with the management of the building and with the building's owners, Southern Management. There have been several changes over the last year that have made this an increasingly less desirable place to call home. For example, several resident amenities have been reduced or eliminated altogether, residents are treated and made to feel like children, resident concerns are given the brush off, building management would prefer to sit in their offices rather than mingle with residents and changes to corporate policy are going to result in huge increases in rents being collected by residents already paying a premium. When we moved in this was an "all inclusive" community, residents were not "nickel and dimed" at every turn. Moving forward, what was all inclusive (electric, water, trash, maintenance, etc...) will now be billed to each resident. This essentially is a rent increase because each of these items were previously included in the rent paid. Also, it has not been made clear to any resident how they plan on determining the amount to be paid (apartments are not individually metered). A friend of ours had trouble with the door lock to the apartment. This friend was charged to have the lock fixed. Isn't this the responsibility of a landlord to fix? Why is a resident being charged for a maintenance request? Just this morning my husband returned home from work at 3am to find someone had parked in his reserved space in the parking garage. This has happened to me on two other occasions previously. The building management simply shrugs its shoulders and says we need to give them time to move their vehicle. Further research concluded that the front office made a mistake and assigned another vehicle the spot we already pay for. Yes, parking in the garage is an extra fee. Instead of apologizing for the snafu, I was snapped at and made to feel like I was a bully for complaining. No, I pay a premium price for you to do your job, and expect a sincere apology and explanation when something goes wrong. These are just a few examples of the issues both we and other residents are currently experiencing living at Oella Mill. Trust me, there are many, many more. The Residences at Oella Mill was once the premier apartment community in Howard/Baltimore counties. Sadly, you are now being asked to pay an incredibly premium price for sub-premium customer service and amenities. Do yourself a favor and look at other properties, I know I am.

I am a current resident at Lakehouse and a happy one. From perfect amenities to the friendly staff,…read moreI would recommend this place over other apartments in the area. The location is very strategic: in the middle of Columbia Town Center but away from the main road so you wouldn't hear noises. I get free coffee from the lobby every day, and it is the highlight of my day. The Concierge lady, Sherri, is very reliable and friendly. Oh, did I mention they have many significant events every month and complimentary yoga classes twice a month? Not forgetting they have a free EV car chargers for those with EV cars.

I'm going to say right now - Lakehouse is such a pleasure to live at (it's pretty new at just under…read morea year old). The rest of my review is below - My girlfriend and I looked at apartments in April of 2018 with the plan of moving in to wherever we selected near the beginning of June. We visited Lakehouse and several other apartments in the region. We made the "mistake" of visiting Lakehouse first which sort of soured us on everything after... HOWEVER - this wasn't necessarily a bad thing. The rent here is a bit on the higher side - but Lakehouse is classified as luxury for a reason. The staff are all INCREDIBLY friendly and fast to respond to special requests and maintenance tickets. We had a few things (very minor) that needed fixing or adjustment when we first moved in, and we never had to wait more than one business day for the maintenance folks to resolve issues. Further, the concierge/front desk is even willing to deliver packages to our apartment if you will not be home in time to fetch your packages on your own. We have a weekly HelloFresh delivery that they even unpack and load into our fridge for us! The building is pet friendly ($40 pet rent per pet). We had a few issues with a neighbors dog barking for hours on end but that has calmed down significantly. The staff was quick to get back to us and has always been willing to work on any issues that pop up. Your rent doesn't include utilities - but you only pay $6 per month for trash services (disposal rooms are easy to find and well lit). You pay utilities (both Comcast and Verizon are available for telecom). Electricity is through BGE and through our first month the prices have been affordable. We have laundry machines in our apartment and they are energy star rated - the washer is a bit compact and can't handle that much laundry - but that's the trade-off for saving space and water. Parking is INCLUDED in your rent and the parking garage has ABUNDANT parking (I'm not exaggerating). The garage feels very safe ( I regularly leave radio equipment (for my volunteer gig) in my car and it has not been broken into)). Security guards watch the garage overnight as well. You have control over your climate control as well which is very nice - the balconies are spacious and enough to fit chairs/small table on them. I will definitely reiterate that the major draw here is the staff - they are so friendly and willing to go the extra mile. I hope Bozzuto has no plans to give the building to another management company. There are frequent resident events as well. The rooftop pool is a huge plus - it's never super crowded either. The staff also tends to remember resident names. If you're looking to move to Columbia (easy to reach route 29) you should definitely visit/tour Lakehouse.

One positive of covid is how creative businesses have become in trying to adapt and keep everyone…read moresafe. While I am living for these virtual consultations (across healthcare, home improvement, beauty), some things are just better in person. Apartment hunting is one of them. I want to commend The Met for their various tour options at this time. Instead of going completely virtual, you can choose between a virtual tour, an in person tour with a leasing agent, or a self-guided tour. I was a bit apprehensive about taking a tour myself (how would I know my way around? What if I have questions?), but The Met went out of their way to make the experience seamless. Prior to the tour starting, Suzette emailed me a building map, the two floor plans I was going to see, and a cheat sheet with the on-site amenities and monthly costs. It was super cool being able to walk around and feel like a resident, seeing things at my own leisurely pace. For those wondering, the doors to those model units were already opened for us and we were given a key fob for the elevator. While leasing agents do give you time to look and are usually accommodating, being able to talk freely among yourselves (family/whoever else is touring with you) just makes it so much easier. No need to to shoot glances at each other and mind read. After the tour, you are able to sit down with the leasing agents and ask all of the questions you collected. I hope self guided tours for apartments are here to stay, even beyond covid. Bravo for the creativity and experience.

Fantastic community -- highly recommend!…read more I've lived in this complex for a while now, and it's easily the best apartment experience I've ever had. The facilities are first-rate -- a great fitness center, beautiful pool, game room, and modern, well-kept apartments. The security gives me real peace of mind, and everything is always clean and well-maintained. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the people. Sean, the property manager, is approachable, friendly, and genuinely cares about the residents. The office staff are always helpful, the cleaning crew does a great job, and the maintenance team is outstanding -- quick to respond, skilled, and some of the nicest people you'll meet (which isn't something you can say about every complex!). They also go above and beyond to create a sense of community with fun resident events -- from free breakfasts and barbecues to pet-friendly gatherings with treats and photo ops. It's those little touches that make it feel like home. If you're looking for a safe, friendly, and well-managed place to live, this is it.
