  • Mediocre at best

    January 10, 2025
    Horrible quality control and fit and finish inside the apartments, terrible noise insulation from obnoxiously loud neighbors, unhelpful staff in the leasing office, and in general just extremely mediocre at best for what you end up paying. I cannot wait for my lease to end here, I can't stress enough to look elsewhere than this complex.
    Review from Apartments.com
  • So much wrong here.

    September 15, 2023
    Loud neighbors, very small for how much they charge. Fickle staff who pretend to do their job. They lose paperwork and try to keep your security deposits. Keep a paper trail and don't believe anything from the leasing office. Get it in writing. They lie.
    Review from Apartments.com
  • Don’t move here!

    October 29, 2022
    This place is DISGUSTING!! Worst place I have ever lived in. They have roaches, mice and mold everywhere. I constantly tell them about the problems I am having with the mice and they do nothing. Management doesnt even have the decency to answer an email. I will NOT be renewing here!

  • nice staff, quiet environment, and a reasonable price

    I went for a tour this weekend, and the staff was very nice. I liked the environment since it was very quiet and the price is reasonable compared to other apartments in central Columbia.

  • Price is okay, but....

    February 27, 2018
    I have lived here a year and am moving out as soon as my lease is up. Pros: Great leasing staff. They are friendly and proactive on all maintenance issues. Ample parking available. It is a clean and well kept area. Cons: 1.) Noise. Arguably the most ignorant neighbors I've dealt with in awhile...on both sides of my apartment. They play their music so loud, they have to shout to have conversations...absolutely mind boggling. The other neighbor either moved or got the hint after the leasing ...
    office sent them a letter. Not so lucky with the ones across the hall from me. LOUD and they don't care. I am unsure how many people are living there at a time. The leasing office sent them a letter, I called the police at 1:30 in the morning, I spoke to them...every possible avenue to resolve the issue. No luck. Plus other neighbors hangout on the stairs outside of my apartment and talk or play their Youtube videos loudly. An utter lack of common courtesy. 2.) Poorly insulation. I have a bottom apartment and the coolness pays off in the Summer. But in the Winter, a bad draft radiates through the closet (furnace is on the other side of it despite maintenance installing a weatherstrip. I had to stuff plastic bags around the misaligned furnace door. Worse, there is a draft along the floor where it meets the outside wall in some places, which tells me there are gaps in the foundation. Overall, not a pleasant experience despite a really good managing staff.

  • Nice place to live!

    February 25, 2016
    We moved in about four months ago. Overall, it's be a very good experience. Pros: The location is great, and it's a very quiet neighborhood. The sidewalks and grounds are well-kept and great for taking a walk. Parking has never been an issue. The gas stoves are AWESOME- I don't know how I lived without them! The staff are all very friendly and quick to respond to any concerns. Even though the buildings are a bit older, they are wired for Verizon FIOS. Cons: There aren't activities/events like ...
    at other complexes, so if you're looking for a more social living situation this might not be for you. Our apartment is ground floor and the utility closet is not insulated so our bedroom (where the utility closet is) is SUPER drafty. We've been able to manage by getting one of those plastic door sealing kits, but it's definitely not ideal. I would recommend these apartments to others, as I think that for the price in this town, they are among the best.

    The common areas are well maintained and staff are helpful with our concerns. You feel very safe with the safety of the area, being a senior, that is very important. You are close to a great mall, if you would like to take a walk around the area for your exercise, you are safe to do that too.

  • Convenient and Cost Effective

    July 28, 2015
    Harper's Forest is conveniently located near Howard County Community College, Johns Hopkins University Hospital, Columbia Mall, and three community shopping centers. The wooded grounds are well-kept and the buildings are regularly maintained. The staff is friendly, and the rent is a good value as compared to other places in Howard County.
