This is now the fourth consecutive year that the community pool was not ready for Memorial Day weekend. Last year, the pool did not open until July 2025, forcing residents to pay additional money to use other facilities during the summer. Residents continue to pay full rent while amenities that are advertised and included in our community remain unavailable. Not to mention, when you go to the Greenbelt Community pool, you are not considered a technical resident and therefore have to pay non-resident fees, because the property does not pay Greenbelt or Prince George County taxes. After learning that the pool would once again not be open as expected, I called the management office to ask why there was a delay and why this same issue continues to occur year after year. Unfortunately, the property manager was very short and dismissive during the conversation and did not provide any meaningful explanation or accountability. As a paying resident, I believe these are reasonable questions, and I was disappointed by the lack of professionalism and concern shown in response. Unfortunately, the pool issue is only one example of a much larger pattern of neglect. Management appears more interested in collecting rent than addressing the ongoing problems that affect residents' quality of life and safety. There is a severe rodent problem throughout the property that has not been adequately addressed. In addition, the dumpsters are frequently overflowing with trash, creating unsanitary conditions, attracting pests, and making the community look poorly maintained. Safety and security are also major concerns. Vehicle-related crime has become alarmingly common, with car wheel theft occurring so frequently that residents regularly find vehicles left sitting on bricks or crates. Despite these recurring incidents, there has been little visible effort to improve security measures or protect residents' property. Residents deserve a clean, safe, and properly maintained community, especially given the rent we pay. I urge management to take immediate action to address these ongoing issues, improve communication with residents, and provide accountability regarding the timeline for correcting these problems. At a minimum, residents deserve honest communication, timely maintenance of community amenities, and a management team that takes resident concerns seriously.

It's nearby a police station, trail, park, co-op and has an open field you can play with you dog. They are very pet friendly and everyone I've met were an animal lover and kind.

I loved the diversity of culture and ethnicity that reside here. From working professionals, artists, college and family. The rent range isn't bad for the location and I'd recommend this place to my family and friends.

It…read moreis a very nice complex in Old Greenbelt within walking distance of Buddy Attick Park and Greenbelt Lake. It is also near the Greenbelt Metro and the Beltway. I love the wooded grounds and the fact that you can see wildlife in the area. There is an outdoor pool which is open in the summer months. It is also a complex that permits pets. Lakeside North is very safe and is near the Greenbelt Police Station. I have experienced few problems with noise or disruption. Residents consist mainly of families, individual professionals, and graduate students. The apartments are spacious, have lots of closet space, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Windows were replaced a few years ago with double-pane windows, which are better for conserving energy. Most units are carpeted but you can also get units with wood laminate flooring. All units have dishwashers and card-operated washer/dryers are in the basements of each building. Maintenance is very responsive to requests for repairs. Probably the best part of living here is the Lakeside North staff. The rental office staff plan events for residents throughout the year, including parties for Mother's Day, Halloween, and a Labor Day barbecue/pool party. They do thoughtful things such as leaving Valentine's/Halloween candies on residents' doors. They also help to publicize community events and volunteer opportunities.

Don't be fooled by the recently remodeled entrances. Most of these apartments are filthy and in desperate need of renovation. About once every few weeks, we would get notices to clear our kitchens to make room for the roach exterminators to spray. There is also a rodent problem. Lovely. Terry, the secretary who runs the front office in Hartwick, is incredibly rude and clearly has no greater pleasure in life than imposing ridiculous fees on students. They charge $75 cash to move in, $10 cash to use your spare key (it increases each lock out), and $600 for their "limited" parking (although the lot is never completely full.. ever). In addition to her miserable job, she has the most unsympathetic attitude and should be avoided at all costs. Because each unit has a different landlord, there is a wide range of conditions in each apartment. However, the average unit will have outdated appliances, matted carpets, and a general air of despair. Your neighbors will be loud frat boys who weren't cool enough to get a bed in their satellite houses. Expect an aroma of weed and trash. For anyone avoiding rising rent costs, I recommend living ANYWHERE but CP Towers. There are smaller apartment buildings on Yale and Dickinson for the same price point without the crooked management.

They have pest control that will come into the apartment every 6 months or so, but all they do it a little spraying under the sinks and put a glue trap or two down. They will not address the infestation problem in the walls. No matter how clean I keep it, roaches alwasy take over my kitchen at night. It's disgusting. Also, beware - the AC/Heat system is OLD, and you will only be allowed AC in the summer and Heat in the winter, both will never be available to run at the same time. AND they turn off BOTH AC and Heat for one month in the spring to switch the systems. So, although it might be 90 degrees for a week in April/May, or 30 degrees for a week in October, it won't matter, you WILL NOT have AC or Heat for that time. Also - utilities are shared per building, not per unit. So be prepared to pay A LOT more than what you use.

RUN, RUN, RUN!!! DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPLEX!…read more My husband and I have been residents of this community for eight years and have lived in two different buildings during that time. Unfortunately, our experience with management and office staff has been consistently disappointing. The staff, including the property manager, have been rude, unprofessional, and largely indifferent to tenant concerns--even serious issues such as rodent infestations. For the past three months, we have been dealing with mice in our apartment. The maintenance supervisor has worked with us by providing treatments and sealing potential entry points, but the problem continues. Despite the ongoing infestation, the property manager has been extremely negligent in addressing the situation, to the point that I had to contact the city to bring attention to the issue. We also spoke with David, the individual who frequently responds to Google reviews. Unfortunately, he was no help. While he presents himself as someone who understands and cares about residents' concerns, our experience suggests otherwise. We felt misled and unsupported throughout this process. To make matters worse, our request to terminate our lease without penalty was denied, despite the ongoing infestation and what appear to be ineffective attempts to resolve the problem. It has become clear to us that this company prioritizes profits over the well-being of its tenants. After eight years as loyal residents, we expected to have a better relationship with management. Instead, we've learned that loyalty means very little when tenant concerns are not taken seriously. We will not be renewing our lease. We would rather spend our money somewhere we feel respected, valued, and appreciated. Save yourself the frustration and think carefully before renting here. If you choose to do so, proceed at your own risk.
