Roaches in my stove mold in my toilet tank dirty smelly hallways the list goes on !!

Depending on the area that you live in the apartments COULD be decent. you do end up in certain sections that make you feel uncomfortable and the management doesn't do anything about it they just push for you to stay. Don't even get me started on the roaches that I have found within the first month. I made complaints I begged to move. I begged to be let out of my contract, begged to move to another complex they managed...cause within a week I had seen 2. I wanted out and they wouldn't let me. it's crooked management. They just kept trying to pacify me. They didn't care about my safety concerns. Nor how my son is terrified of ANY insect. I had only be there 6 freaking days and they were strictly assholes. Everybody pays a didn't price for rent which makes no sense to me. Also the rent they charged to live there is absurd. Definitely not worth it... you could rent a house for the amt they charge. It's not a good section that I lived in and I hated it. Residents were RUDE as fuck and very disrespectful. I'm not that kind of person. read more

I have to give Parkwood 3 stars. They are willing to help you by giving you information if you need help paying your rent and utilities. The maintenance department keep the trash picked up from the pigs that throw it over their balconies and out there cars. Anytime I have had a maintenance request they have fixed except my sliding glass door doesn't open unless hercules was opening it. The other reason is because I am disable have a therapy dog, a daughter with lower bowel syndrome and a granddaughter type 1 diabetes and a handicap placket from motor vehicles and won't assign a Handicap parking space. Also the law is 33 spaces from last space and it is 31 to my area. Unfortunately, I got covid and I paid my rent although late and paid fees. They are holding this against me and made is so I couldn't move into Oak Hill when I had lived there previous for a years and only had 2 late payments. I don't think it was fair for Park Wood to make the decision for Oak Hill for me to move back there. And I had covid very ill and would not take into consideration. At least I paid the rent. read more

Parkwood Apartments - Apartments Near Me - Salisbury, Maryland

Parkwood finally gave me a new lease for 6 months because I had paid my rent late I was on probation. Are you kidding me, I paid any late fees. So is this the new policy? So in these months so far I ve had flooding from the upstairs apartment into my bath tub, called maintenance 4 times. Finally figures out loose seal in tub above me. Still have not fixed the broken off door handle and just a hole where key should go. Fluorescent lights ceiling and over kitchen counter burned out bulbs, I have to use a lamp at sink. Repeated work orders for these things. I still don't have screens on my windows for 2 years. I have a smoke detector in hallway never retuned to put back up. And the saddest thing is I wrote a letter to the owner Mr. Rayner and addressed all these things and never even replied. So I am in violation of my lease for late payment, well how about all these violations of inhabitable living conditions. I sweep the side walks and stairs I have to go out with a shovel when it rains to make ruts so water doesn't come into the apartment. No other tenant is going to do this. I shoveled the snow last winter no one could get to us. The funniest thing is I got yesterday 60 days notice to move out because I made a late payment. And I just happened to find a piece of paper folded up on the ground a letter saying move out. Did not mail it to me and what if someone had thrown away? Very unprofessional. It actually was partial and paid the rest with late fee but they evicted me. Today I get an email from corporate office to stay and renew my lease. Well I guess they never saw my eviction notice from the rental office, OMG. I have gotten one of those before and called and they said "Oh everyone gets one of those" I have tried to stay with Salisbury Apartments but I guess it's time to go. I really like my apartment even though those other issues. Their maintenance department is totally understaffed in my opinion. They do keep trash areas clean and pick up trash. No one is perfect, except for the women in the rental office!!! They even over ride corporate office, evict you for a late payment even if you pay the fee? So don't pay your rent late or you might get evicted. I am so looking forward to my moving expenses. And the reason it was late was because I got Covid and had missed pay. But I still paid it. read more

WORSE place to rent ever. So ghetto. Help desk is so rude and never answers the phone or send maintenance. Flooded and so so dirty my first week I moved there. Should have guessed. I have my apartment til July 18. I am still paying for it. I moved majority of my stuff to my new place so I had time to transition. Went back and ALL my stuff was gone and they had ladders and paint there. My key didn't even work. Mail key gone. My mail just thrown away. I AM STILL PAYING FOR IT. Worse apartment experience. Will never recommend my friends to go threw this ghetto living experience. read more

The owners are con artists. They do to many people what they did to me. Tell you there's no apartments here but there are ones available at the overpriced Market Manor development. They own both. Then they'll take your money and promise you a lease every day buy they're so busy they haven't had time. They'll do this for months. Then you may or may not get a lease and an apartment. Maybe not. Don't try your luck. Read reviews of Marley manor. They own both. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would... all I have to say is if you're not familiar with the area DO NOT move here. Crime ridden area that is incredibly overpriced. The pictures displayed online are not accurate, there has been no remodeling. read more

When I moved into Parkwood in 2012, I liked how quiet the neighborhood was in the evenings and I LOVED the large, open space of the living area in my one bedroom apartment. I also liked that the security deposit was only $250, unlike other apartment complexes in town that wanted a full month's rent. I'm afraid these few perks turned out to not be quite enough to keep me at Parkwood. I lived at Parkwood less than a year before someone in a neighboring building blew up a methlab in their apartment. I tried to rationalize staying by saying that this sort of thing could happen anywhere, but things only got worse. I did not, particularly enjoy inviting guests over knowing that the staircase was strewn with open condom wrappers and condoms. These took nearly a month to be cleaned up. In fact, the rather clean stairwells and tidy landscaping around the building fell into disrepair rather quickly after my move in, to the point where the stairwells almost always reek of mildew and the mulch around the trees outside hasnt' been refreshed in months. Parts of the sidewalks have begun to crumble, the retaining walls around the downstairs apartment entrances have tumbled over, and the parking lot has become swampy and full of trash. There are no security cameras in the buildings at Parkwood and it became very common for the parking lot lights and the lights in the stairwells to NOT be lit in the evenings, leaving the lots and stairs pitch black. Even when the lot lights are on, they are weak and don't do much in the way of brightening the lot, to the extent that it can be difficult to see the Schumaker Drive entrance until you have nearly passed it. With no security cameras, it was impossible for the management to identify which of the tenants was responsible for smoking in the stairwell, and thus filling everyone's apartments with second hand smoke. They also couldn't identify the vandal/prankster who smashed a jar of a mixture of nacho cheese, jelly and hot sauce all over the wall and door of my neighbor's apartment. It took two days before maintenance cleaned it up, and by then the nacho cheese had curdled and the combined smell of curdled cheese and hot sauce had permeated my living room so strongly that I spent days living out of my bedroom to avoid it. Just months later, while my boyfriend was staying with me overnight, someone jacked all four wheels/tires off of his car while it sat in my parking lot. We discovered it sitting on blocks of firewood the next day. Only days later, a neighbor's bicycle was stolen from their second story balcony in broad daylight. The following month I was awoken by a very loud explosion sound coming from inside the wall of my apartment, from the area near my a/c unit. I alerted the management office, concerned that there might be a burst pipe. It took them four days to send maintenance to inspect for a problem. I don't know about you, but I find four days an awful long time to wait to look into a possible burst pipe or electrical problem. Last night I came home once again to find the lights out in the parking lot and stairwells, as a lone petite female, I feel tremendously unsafe crossing a dark lot full of potential spots for an attacker to hide. I decided to call the office and make a complaint. I received the after-hours message indicating to press 1 for a leasing agent or 2 for the community manager. When I selected 2, I was played the same message in a different voice. When I pressed 2 again, I received a message that my choice was invalid. I called again, this time selecting 1. Once again I was played the same message in a different voice. I selected 1 again and was AGAIN told my choice was invalid. Either their voice mail system is broken, or it is set up so that you absolutely cannot leave a message. Given all that I've been through, I'm inclined toward the latter. I've already put in my intention to vacate at the end of my lease. I'm moving some place where they aren't going to jack my rent up $40 a month at the end of my lease and where they don't charge me a ridiculous $25 monthly pet rent fee for my cat. So...single women, do NOT rent at Parkwood. Families with children, do NOT rent at Parkwood. Really...anyone... do NOT rent at Parkwood. These people need to clean up their act. read more

Unprofessional. Maintenance department not filling up on work orders. Or work orders not being communicated to the department.

The office is absolutely ridiculous! Don't get greeted when you walk in, girls stay on the computers and then ask you what you need. New people in there all the time, don't know who even runs the place at times. You call in work orders and the ladies don't even take a real note, they put it on a sticky note! And we are left to wonder why no one has come to fix the toilet. Door to the building has been broke for two months, won't shut properly and staff does nothing. Have rules for parking in certain areas at our building and it's not enforced, they say people will be towed but I have yet to see a car get towed, even after calling two or three times about a car being in our spot for days. Apartment is out of date. Old stove, old microwave, everything is very drab looking. It can be decent if you need some place for a while but not worth dealing with the people in the office!!! read more

I am a current resident and I really wish I knew what I know now before moving here. I was told I was moving into a fully renovated apartment, lie. My apartment isn't anywhere near renovated or upgraded. Half of my appliances do not work! The appliances that do work are half way put together and missing pieces. For example my dryer has NO lint filter, lint just goes all over the laundry room, fire hazard. I am currently experiencing issues with my central air it's the end of summer and HOT AS EVER my thermostat is currently reading 78 and I was told there isn't anything they could do about and to wait until tomorrow. I moved in this apartment in June I submitted multiple work orders for things to be fixed here it is September NOTHING HAS CHANGED. Do yourself a favor and save money and do not move out here! THE PRICES DO NOT MATCH the BS you have to go through. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT move into Parkwood Apartments, or really any properties managed by Salisbury Apartments. My boyfriend has been living at Parkwood for the past year and has had nothing but negative comments about the apartment. I'm leaving this review for him as he doesn't wish to leave a horrible review in his name before he officially moves out. He moved here to save some money on rent for a while, but he can assure you it is not worth living here for any amount of money saved. He has the same complaints as many other people who have left reviews - mainly about the office staff. They are extremely rude, unprofessional, unhelpful, and not thorough. They are unreachable - messages are left unreturned, maintenance requests are left unfulfilled, and complaints are left unfixed. The apartment buildings are also filthy. They have chicken bones left for days inside, used underwear left outside on the stairs, and leaves/flowers left EVERYWHERE! My boyfriend's most recent problem has come as a result of COVID and moving out. He has expressed his intent to move out on numerous occasions. Since Parkwood requires 60 day notice when vacating the property, he has been trying to contact the leasing office for several week to officially sign the paperwork that he does not wish to renew his lease and that he wishes to leave. He has called various numbers for Parkwood Apartments and associates and left messages asking them to return his call. He had to discuss a maintenance issue as well as his intent to vacate the property. Several messages unreturned later he finally got through to an associate today. He expressed his intent to leave and was told he had to give 60 days notice so he would be held liable through the end of June. He explained he had tried to reach an associate for weeks to prevent this, and was assured that it could be taken care of. He signs the intent to vacate form and is then contacted by another associate saying he WILL be held liable through the end of June. Tries to e-mail/call back to explain and is once again left unanswered. Parkwood only responds when it is convenient for them. Don't rely on them for maintenance problems or really for anything, and definitely do not sign a lease here. read more

It's a shame I have to give it one star I was hoping there would be an option for Zero. I will never claim to be the perfect tenant. However I have never been so insulted by terrible customer service skills and basic communication. My neighbors were pretty awesome it's in a very good area And the places are very nice. If I could only take those places to different people running it it would be perfect. Do not do not do not do not waste your time and money here read more

My apartment was contaminated with visible mold and breathable mold spores. Apt. Mgmt. had no clue how to deal with it from a remediation and health standpoint. I am a retired Environmental Engineer with 32 years experience at Amtrak. (Parkwood's worst nightmare. ) After me quoting the EPA, MD State Laws and County Guidelines they tried to buy me off with ridiculous offerings which they owed to me anyway ! After wasting thousands of dollars on unnecessary attempts and failures to comply, they evicted me totally illegally and now will have to "Pay the Piper" in court. They are attempting to hide this from other building residents who along with their children may be breathing the same toxic air. The circus continues ..... read more

STOP! RIGHT NOW! And read this before you go any further, or sign any forms with these people! When I moved to Parkwood apartments, I hadn't yet seen the place because I lived out of state and could not afford to come up and check it out first. I relied on online reviews and photos. My bad! Little did I know how horrible this place would turn out to be! Hopefully this review will serve as a means to warn people about what these apartments are really like, and some may avoid the same mistake I made. First of all, let me tell you about the smells. Apparently someone in my building smokes heavily and the smell travels up through the vents. It's awful, and I can't even get away from it by opening a window because whoever it is also smokes outside on one of the balconies, and it just comes in that way too. Additionally, I have neighbors who moved in recently that enjoy preparing ethnic meals. I have no problem with foreign foods, but those smells can really stick in an apartment, and sometimes they're highly disgusting, even smelling like rotting garbage, vomit, or decay/dead animal. And again, I usually can't use the window to air out the place. In some cases, the smells keep seeping in all day so even if you try to change the air, it won't do any good. Also if it's really cold or hot outside, then you're just trading one problem for another. And then there are the smells that I can't even identify, and these are the most troubling. Usually it smells like burning plastic, but there have been other musty, moldy, mildew smells over the months. Not knowing what it is that you're breathing and having some stranger determine the quality of your air becomes very distressing indeed. Management can only do so much to solve this problem, since they would probably have to renovate to correct it. I asked to be released from my lease, but they flat refused. I suppose now I'm trapped in this place for the duration, and when I consider what I might be inhaling all day, it makes me sick and rather upset. Then there is the noise factor. In case you hadn't heard on some other reviews, the building sits between a fire station and a school, and there is also a red light on the road just next to my building. When the station gets an emergency call, a very loud air raid siren goes off for about 15 seconds at a time, several times a night, at all hours of the day and night. If you don't have some way of blocking out the noise, say with some type of fan or white noise machine, then it will probably wake you or your children. Then, during the day you get to listen to students in the school parking lot or those at the red light revving their car engines and peeling out. And there's also the high school band. During the summer months and the fall, they play well into the night practicing for football games. You may find yourself having to turn up your television louder just to hear it, or again, you may find yourself unable to sleep, as have I on many occasions. And then there's the entryway. The way these apartments are set up, you have the four front doors of all four apartments on each floor facing each other in an enclosed concrete room...sort of an entryway. You will find that both smells and sounds are a problem here. When neighbors come in or leave, you have to listen to their conversations echo quite loudly off the walls. Actually, I even hear people inside their apartments quite often, so that may be something to consider as well. My husband and I have discussed this situation with neighbors, and we're not the only ones who have noticed these problems, especially the smells. And though it may sound a little bizarre, there are no overhead lights in either bedroom, nor in an entire half of the rather large living/dining area. So either you buy lamps or you dine and dress in darkness. It was a problem when we moved, because my husband and I then had to go dish out even more money for lamps. Even now the lighting is not what it should be. I could go on for days honestly. Once my lease is up in a few months, I will post a more detailed and complete review on several sites, including some topics I purposely did not cover here. While I feel like it's important to let people know the full story, I'd feel better about telling it if I were away from the situation. For now I hope this serves to help customers make a more informed decision before committing to a lease with Parkwood apartments. read more
