Hi everyone,
I’ve been a resident at Watermark at Buzzard Point for several years and am moving out on May 10, 2026. While the building and location have potential (rooftop views, waterfront proximity), the management and day-to-day living experience have been consistently disappointing. Here’s a factual summary based on my direct experiences and repeated reports:
• Broken Amenities & Safety Issues: Multiple lounge chairs on the rooftop terrace have been broken for years (one with a completely
...failed back support for ~2 years). I reported this as a physical injury hazard back in 2022 and again more recently, with little to no resolution. There are only about 5–6 usable chairs when the space should comfortably support 20+. Other second-floor amenities have also remained in poor condition.
• Package Security Failures: Packages frequently go missing or unaccounted for, even when checked in by concierge. I’ve had multiple incidents over the years, including critical medical supplies (insulin needles) that created a serious health risk. Most recently, in February 2026, a fellow resident dropped off an Xbox console and other items in a clearly labeled Trader Joe’s bag at the front desk. It was scanned into the system but disappeared. Management reviewed camera footage over several weeks (involving concierge staff, supervisor Brian, and others) but could not locate the bag or identify what happened to it. They confirmed it’s no longer in the package area and have stated they bear no responsibility per lease terms.
• Maintenance & Responsiveness: Repeated reports of issues (leaky faucets, ceiling leaks, move-in defects like unpainted walls and scuffed surfaces) often went unanswered or took far too long. Communication from management has been inconsistent, with long delays between reports and any meaningful action.
• Other Quality-of-Life Issues: Persistent smoking odors in common areas and hallways continue despite building rules. The shooting in 2025 was my deciding factor (research it ) I was one of the wrinesses interviewed by DCPD.
I’ve documented everything in writing (emails to on-site staff, regional managers, and even Greystar corporate) and recently provided formal 60-day notice. While they waived any extended notice period, the pattern of unaddressed problems has made the experience frustrating and far below “luxury” expectations.
If you’re considering Watermark, I recommend asking current residents directly about package handling, amenity mainten
