Algonquin Apartments

Overall pleased

The Algonquin is a beautiful building in a perfect location--lots of bars and restaurants, close to Penn Station and the Charm City Circulator. The gym is very nice, the building is secure, and parking is available behind the building. Pets are allowed, although I would not exactly say it is "pet-friendly." Unfortunately, there is no outdoor space. Also, the management, although generally polite, tends to be unresponsive, so if you need something fixed, you have to keep after them. In general, it is a pleasant, convenient, quiet place to live, and I wouldn't mind staying here for a long time.

The renovation of the building was sloppily done. Doors painted shut, molding painted over. Gym has rats. Cheap, threadbare carpets, small kitchen only big enough for one. The light fixtures are nice and they are quick to respond to maintenance requests.

The apartments are great and brand new, management is a little flakey and can be hard to get in touch with maintenance. But the building is beautiful and near to lots of bars and restaurants as well as Penn Station. It's pet friendly so don't ever expect complete silence, but generally it isn't too loud.

I have lived here for one year in a two bedroom with a roommate and just moved into a one bedroom after signing another year lease. The two bedrooms are an incredible value, but the one bedrooms are kind of pricey. The apartments are beautiful though, and you cannot beat the location.

The Algonquin has been a wonderful place to live. The communal living areas are extremely spacious and everything is brand new. The bedrooms and bathrooms are on the smaller side but it's never been an issue. If there is ever a maintenance issue, it's taken care of right away. The only complain is the two leasing managers, they are very unfriendly and always seem to be impositioned. The rent is great and extremely low when compared to other Baltimore areas.
