Great for students

The location is close to all the main grad schools and is worth it if you are looking for convenience and safety. This place is monitored all the time and the management is friendly and always willing to help.

Its fine

Its fine. Maintenance is super responsive about fixing things within units but not great about fixing things in the building. Washers are constantly broken, there are 3 elevators total but only one is always working. One has been broken for the entire semester. Last year the water was out for a full day at least 5 days a semester. The convenience can't be beat. The gym isn't anything special but it's always open.

The surrounding neighborhood isn't great besides being close to school. Homeless people are always wandering around but they have never bothered me.

Management is fine but nothing special.

Overpriced for a mediocre building but the convenience can't be beat.

Living at Fayette Square Apts.

Overall, I’ve had a pretty good experience living at Fayette Square. The rooms are spacious, maintenance is responsive, and the fact that utilities are included are a plus. The only downside would be the unavailability of the laundry rooms during certain times of the week/time of the day and the rare occasion in which only one out of the three elevators are working.

Good enough

When I moved in, the place was DISGUSTING. Trash everywhere, other people's belongings. Apparently, this is the norm because we don't pay security deposits. Within the first week, the front office gave away my package to someone else. Not the worst place to live. The maintenance requests get taken care of pretty quickly. The gym has the basics, like weights and three treadmills. The garage under the apartment isn't the worst, but the surrounding area can be a bit sketchy at times. Big homeless community in the area. There's also a strong police presence. There is no need to worry about security, though, the building has 24-hour security with someone at the front gate monitoring everything.

Very College Like Apts

The apartment is very close to my school, so its very convenient. However, it is very far away from grocery stores and restaurants so you do need a car or you will be walking very far. It gives of a college on-campus apartment vibe, but I've been pleased with it for my graduate school experience. It is very spacious, there is not a lot of natural sunlight though which sucks. The management also doesn't tell you when they will be stopping by for maintenance. But other than that, I think its fine and affordable.

A Couple Complaints but Worth It Overall

It is expensive. We have issues with the water about once per month (maintenance responds super quickly and does their best). The surrounding area is a bit rough (but security and UMB police are very impressive). There are no bars and minimal restaurants within walking distance. **However, it is furnished (huge expense/burden), a quiet building, incredibly convenient, has large bedrooms, management is delightful, and maintenance responds within 1 business day. I have a great view with large windows and direct sunlight (not everyone does), and many of my best friends live in the building. Definitely not a perfect complex, but the pros outweigh the cons for me. I have already resigned for next year (and likely will again after). Oh and very thick walls, I have never been annoyed by my neighbors.

Realistic

The apartment is furnished, the galley kitchen is adequate and the floors are sturdy with sound that rarely carries. Overall spacious and easy to make my own with couch covers and some art on the walls. Nothing is super tech advanced—but there are tap cards required to get in the property. Cannot beat the proximity to the law school. Parking at the Baltimore Grand is also very convenient. Free laundry is nice as well.

Overall—it’s university housing. Not amazing but not bad at all. The staff/on site management is delightful as well.

Modern apartment, close to UM campus

Fayette Square is the closest modernized housing on University of Maryland Baltimore campus. All common spaces - study rooms, fitness center, lounge at the top-floor, and laundry rooms - were decent-sized and maintained well. Free beverage for residents but sometimes run out and not replenished so fast. Front desk and gated entrance are pluses since the overall safety in the neighborhood isn't so great. Facilities are in good condition, but the higher-than-average rent is the major draw-back.

Great Living Experience

Great experience living in this apartment complex. The only thing I have a problem with is the lack of lighting into the apartment being on a lower level. However, the housing staff has been nothing but helpful and prompt! I would definitely recommend this building to incoming students.
