My fiance and I lived in River Front Apartments for 2 years. We moved in because it's the cheapest apartment complex in Howard County. Therefore, it's super basic with no gym and pretty bare minimum everything else. The place was built in the 70's so it's not completely up to date, but if something broke they fixed it for us and maintenance was pretty responsive. We always made maintenance requests via the online portal in which you could also make payments and get community updates.
My biggest
...complaint was that the pool was out of service for the two years that we lived in the apartment. I opened for a week the second year and that was all we got. The gates were also broken multiple times and then pretty much permanently about 5 months into us living there. They installed cameras on every building and told us that the cameras would allow them to find out who keeps breaking the gates.
The office had birthday month celebrations and holiday celebrations. Loved that they thought about those kinds of things.
Neighbors were the usual grab-bag of people you find in apartment complexes. A few families, a lone quiet person here or there, the one across the hall who ALWAYS played his music loud enough to jostle our pots and pans, and then the drunk who lived with her husband above us.
I also loved that it was walking distance to a lot of stuff (convenience store, Savage Mill, Weis, the library). It was also close to a lot of bus stops.
When we moved out, we vacuumed, steam-cleaned the carpet, filled all the holes in the walls, and scrubbed down everything. We got our deposit back (almost) in full. There was maybe one thing that they had to fix and it was due to our cats. Overall, it wasn't fine living, but it was a good place for my fiance and I to start our lives together.
