Yorkewood Apartments

microwave . the staff has gone down hill , the old management has much more pleasant people . they are raising the prices but doing little to nothing to make the price match the living experience. i wouldn’t waste my time tbh

commuting. Nearby Dining & Shopping: Belvedere Square provides quality dining and shopping options, far better than the nearby Alameda Shopping Center. Areas Needing Improvement: Maintenance Services: Maintenance requests often require multiple follow-ups due to delays. During winter, snow and ice removal is slow, leaving tenants to handle it themselves. Leasing Office & Customer Service: The leasing office staff is professional but lacks urgency and empathy. Tenant concerns seem like low priorities unless followed up persistently. Safety & Security: Loitering in specific areas of the property remains a concern, stemming from the nearby Alameda Shopping Center. Increased security and police presence could help address the issue. Tenant Appreciation & Lease Flexibility: Long-term tenants feel overlooked, with little recognition of their continued residency. Offering periodic rent discounts or free months could improve tenant satisfaction. The property should consider six- and 12-month lease options, allowing new tenants to evaluate the community before committing long-term. Suggestions for Improvement: Winterizing & Seasonal Maintenance: Inspect buildings for winter readiness and create a consistent snow and ice removal plan. Mini Blinds Replacement: Offer tenants new mini blinds annually to maintain property appearance. Air Conditioning Maintenance: Service window air conditioning units each spring to ensure functionality. Tenant Engagement: Improve management responsiveness and focus on visible property enhancements. Final Thoughts: Yorkewood Apartments may work for budget-conscious renters, but long-term living is difficult due to maintenance delays, safety concerns, and a lack of tenant appreciation. Improvements are possible, but whether management will prioritize them remains uncertain. This review is based on my personal experience and honest reflection.

just given a new paint job. They don’t clean up behind the previous tenants. Don’t believe me? Do a walk through take note of the hallway, smells, and ask them how long has the AC unit in the window has been there. I promise the answer will scare you especially when you take note that IT HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED. PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS NIGHTMARE! Save yourself the time, money, and stress and look for something better, maybe one with less roaches

only 5 out of 12 washing machines are currently working. 7 of them are either damaged or out of order. They want to put “new” vending machines in the center but can’t maintain the washing machines or get a cleaning crew to mop up the water on the floor. Terrible.

RUDE and incompetent,the property manager included and this is me being nice. I moved from these apartments a few months ago and they are still causing me issues by withholding my security deposit and charging me for "damages to the apartment" that do not exist. If you do move here, TAKE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING, when you move in and when you leave. People shoot around these apartments frequently. There were two murders within the same week on my block alone. I stopped taking my son outside to play because I didn't feel safe. The heat is included but they control it. I don't understand what logic they used behind turning it on and off. It wasn't very powerful on cold Winter nights and there would be 70 degree days outside and they'd still have it on. We once had an accident with maintenance letting themselves into our apartment for no reason, without an active work order. If it wasn't for our alarm system, we wouldn't have known and something came up missing from our apartment. Our neighbors were sweet angels but I could hear everything they did. The closets are small. The kitchen is tiny. So tiny that the stove or dishwasher doors barely had enough room to open all the way. Speaking of dishwasher, ours didn't work. We had to have it serviced so often. It would overflow and there would be water all over the kitchen. Parking sucked. ESP if you worked late. I think that's it lol. 2 stars is generous but I know there's worse apartments out there.

Apartments on Northern Pkwy. It is a large 3 bedroom apartment. It would be good for us. We could make it to work in no time off 83, shoot straight down 95 downtown. It is easy to get out of Baltimore and go anywhere we want to go.
