Greystar

I moved in about a month ago and i love it here! The process to rent was very easy and the staff was really helpful. My apartment has an amazing view and i can walk to just about anything I'd want to do. I met some friends for dinner and drinks the other night and didn't even need a car or uber to get there! They have fun resident social events too. There was a trivia night the week I moved in. I'm going to the sips and succulents event tonight. I'm finally unpacked and am happy in my new home. Highly recommend!

The unit is nice with high ceilings and lots of light. The community is serviced by elevators which was the selling point. However, the cleanliness of the site, inside and out, is less than desirable.

The community overall is very disappointing. Marketing is misleading and units are overpriced based on the care, or lack thereof, of the community.

Entrances, corridors, and elevators are rarely mopped. This is a large pet community and it is common to have pet urine in the elevators and corridors. The interior areas are hard to stomach most times.

Exterior is not well maintained. Landscaping, trash, and pet droppings are unsightly. Security gates frequently malfunction, resident cars have been vandalized, and management accepts no responsibility for any issues.

Pool is dirty along with the surrounding pool areas, and water pressure in the units is very, very low.

Complaints have been filed with the property management company and onsite management to no avail. Very disappointing...

Good apartment and location

When I first moved in it was the worst. But the property has a new owner and they put so much money into fixing everything. And they are upgrading all of the areas like the clubroom, laundry room, and fitness center. I heard they are bringing a sky lounge in the spring too. My dog loves it here and we have a nice dog park to play. Is it perfect? No. But, for the value and location, you can't beat it. We are looking forward to renewing!

Safe. Top notch

…a little loud b/c of Northwest Highway just outside. Beyond that, the same trappings are other apartments.

(Wasn't a 1x1, just left it blank b/c my place wasn't applicable. Also means I don't know regular pricing for units, so would recommend checking that.)

Location was very convenient -- 15 minute drive to school, a few restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance. Wasn't shoddy construction or dirty or anything. Pretty quiet (except for one tenant with a loud car). Maintenance had to enter units for inspections maybe 2-3 times per year.

Overall great building with good value and excellent amenities. The apartments are a little smaller than other places for the price, but they are much more updated / clean. Its major flaws are expensive parking, and staff slow to respond / fix things in the building. Parking on the street is always available, though, and it makes living in the area much easier. Being above a Aldi is also an incredible perk.

Great management and doormen, facilities, gym, study space.

It's a pretty nice place to live, especially considering where in Baltimore it is and the distance to the school. It's about a 15-20min walk from the school and safe during the day. The management at the property is very accommodating, quick to respond, and very helpful.

As for the apartments, they're very comfortable and well insulated so your heating and cooling is effective and you won't be wasting money on heating and cooling. The water pressure is great. The maintenance staff are very kind and responsive, they're very diligent and have checked on me a few times to see if an issue they've had to handle has stayed fixed to my satisfaction. The rooftop terrace is great with gorgeous views, is open till midnight (though it should be open 24/7 IMO), and is very comfortable (it even has a little theater you can hang out in).

My gripes are mostly with layout. Some floorplans aren't very efficiently designed and the kitchen + closets doesn't have as much storage as I would like; the bathrooms have showers (I would prefer a tub since I like to soak). The elevators seem to be down a lot during the winter, but the management does let you know and get it fixed ASAP.

Avoid Aquatic Ashby at all costs. Aquatic Ashby is by far the worst building I have ever rented for a multitude of reasons:

- During the leasing process, it took over two months to get a lease agreement sent over after paying an application fee and a $500 deposit.
-No communication about the security deposit was made within the 21-day legal requirement under California Civil Code §1950.5. Only after a demand letter was sent did they offer a partial deposit without a statement of deductions or receipts, which is also ILLEGAL under the same code. Be prepared to take them to court to recover your deposit.
-The in-unit dryer was broken when we moved in and was not replaced until more than 6 weeks later.
-The fobs to access the building were consistently broken, locking residents out.
-Delivery drivers from USPS, UPS, FedEx, Amazon, and more were not given building access codes. Packages were unable to be delivered unless a management was on site, and thus often delayed.
-Management was consistently missing during the day, or "on vacation" for extended periods of time. The building also seemed to change managers every month, and there was never one single manager to refer to throughout my 4-month tenancy.
-Stacker parking broken for days, locking cars in and preventing cars from entering. Would have to park on the street during downtime, which is not always available and not ideal in this area. No concessions or credits were offered despite this parking being $150/month.

great building! nice and clean, 5 min walk to PATCO. renewing my lease

Lots of area, quiet neighborhood, a little far away from everything though.

The Andi is in a great and convenient location. Within a minute walk you have access to Target, Stop and Shop, Starbucks, and many other shops and restaurants. The amenities are nice and it is only about a 20 minute walk to campus. There are also several bus lines that run through the shopping center which is nice. Also, the complex is very safe and secure.
However, the area can be a bit noisy sometimes. The weekends are the worst as the shopping center is usually busier than it is during the week. Another annoyance is that packages/deliveries are stolen sometimes.

Very happy to live at James and Harrison Court. While the rent is on the higher side, the management is very responsive, the gym is nice for an apartment gym, and the location is the best you can have for being at BU Med.
