The best housing option for students in Downtown Baltimore!

It is a great place that just opened up the summer of 2021. Thus, it's all brand new and updated. I don't believe it's official student housing, but 90% of the residents are student therefore the apartment managers have great "finals break" and "study break" events such as give out free food, have movie nights, etc. Sunday - Thursday it's quiet while everyone studies in their apartment and/or the second floor study rooms and then Thursday night - Sunday morning there is more of a social scene. It's also two minutes from the law school so you couldn't ask for a better commute. Finally, the rooftop is to die for! Truly loved my time living here all 3 years of law school.

The apartment I’m in is not fit for four people. The kitchen is extremely small and barely fits 2 roommates comfortably. The property does a terrible job at pairing roommates. They don’t refer to the roommate questionnaire they have you fill out which resulted in multiple accounts of people who cannot live with pets placed in apartments with pets. The leading staff is incompetent, and the price is outrageous for the space. Parking is an extra $200 but the parking garage is likely full so you have to go outside of the apartment to other parking garages and on this area, it is pretty unsafe to do so. Again, the rooms are small, the kitchen is too small, and the price is outrageous.

Some pluses, however, are that the apartment does have a (very small) apartment gym and packages seem to be secure in Amazon lockers. There should be a better system with the front door to allow in Instacart (since that’s what you need to use for groceries since the nearest grocery store is a 15 minute drive away) and other delivery systems.

The apartment is furnished and literally right next door to UMB, which is awesome. However, it's pretty expensive for a very small space compared to many other apartments. I love that it's new, everything is very nice, we have floor-to-ceiling windows with amazing natural light, a rooftop for fresh air, a parking garage attached, and a gym in the building. Unfortunately, other than Lexington Market right behind us, you can't really walk anywhere around here. But that's how most downtown apartments near UMB are.

Very close to school, friendly, helpful, & caring staff. Great price for what you get.

The apartment is almost brand new. The room was super clean when I first moved in. My only complaint is that the window cannot be opened, so I it is very hard to get rid of cooking smell.
