Sterling Parc at Hanover

These apartments were much better until they were sold to a new company. The new company hasn’t bothered to maintain the landscaping and hassles tenants. I feel very nickle and dimed and I can’t wait until my lease is up.
Pros:
Nice layout, open floor plan.
Allows up to two small pets
Quick Chek and DQ right in the parking lot.
Cons:
–No elevator. If you’re on the third floor grocery shopping is a hassle.
–No lighting at all in the bedrooms or living room. Very dark.
–Micromanagement. Leave the door open to bring in groceries? You’ll get an official written warning for that.
–No walking on the grass, no «loitering» in the hallways, parking lots or in front of buildings. I’m not kidding, I got an official written warning for rolling a ball to my one year old outside the apartment. God forbid I try to go outside.
–The play area is very small and my one year old tries to eat the wood chips so we can’t go there. Apparently we can’t go outside either.
–Strictly enforced two guest maximum at the pool. I never see anyone at the pool but other residents told me they were talked to for having more than two people with them.
–Over priced. There’s apartments just as nice for less money locally.
–Rent goes up every year. (This is a new policy with the new management company.)
–There are marketing fees, amenity fees, and you are responsible for all utilities.
I really regret moving here and I’m counting the days until my lease is up. I’ll update this review to let you know if they steal my deposit or give me a hassle when I move out.

Lived at Sterling Parc for 4 years. Good location but has changed management for the worse. Bozzuto Management Group now handles it. The people in the office are ok but the Management group charges for everything. Pets are $ 25 per month per pet. Over 4 years, there were a few pulls in the carpet and upon moving out we were charged $ 1200 because they stated we need to replace the ENTIRE carpet. Well, over 4 years we paid $ 2400 for rent for the pets so what is THAT going towards? The parking situation is atrocious. people park everywhere, parking spots are clearly designated. Plus the maintenance people during the day park in YOUR spots if they see you’re not home. Speaking of maintenance, they are more inclined to blame YOU for something being broken rather than shoddy worksmanship.
2 years ago, they replaced our hot water heater and water spilled all over our first floor carpet. So I’m guessing that because of that, I have to pay for that as well? I’m sure that contributed to the damaged carpet that they felt the need to have me pay for.
It’s a nice location and convenient but WAY overpriced and not worth the hassle.
