Owings Run Apartments

My brother and sis n law lived there for 4 years and loved it. However as the years progressed things changed. They started accepting section 8 (low income) housing and by all means there is nothing wrong with that, however with that you do get some ghetto behavior. The staff was always pleasant to work with and did a lot for us when this crazy lady below us hated our dogs and always complained. So they helped us move to a bottom floor with no penalties. So the staff gets 4 stars but the way they are doing things get one star.

This neighborhood is an overpriced ghetto! I’m moving in a few days and I can’t get away fast enough. There are so many wild and unruly children around and no adults watching over them. They are always in the parking lots and the streets. They see cars coming and they run I front of oncoming traffic. People are constantly moving out of my building because of 1 family and their unsupervised children. They randomly call different residents from the call box to let them inside of the building because their parents are too lazy and cheap to have keys made for them. When people started to ignore the calls they started breaking in the front door to the building. As soon as the door is fixed, they break it again! I feel so blessed to be moving out. Please don’t bother moving here. There are so many nice apartment complexes in Owings Mills for the same price. Save yourself from months of turmoil and go somewhere else!!!

We lived here for about 9 months. I looked on other apartment-​search websites and this place got horrible reviews. It really wasn’t that bad, though.
Some pros: they allow dogs (up to 50lbs-​but they don’t check, as someone had a full grown husky) and have small off leash areas for them. Brand new stove/​oven. Affordable, although I heard they were raising prices (we had a 3 bdr/​2bath for $ 1200/​month).
Cons: the maintenance people weren’t always reliable (our glass sliding door shattered one day and it took them two weeks to replace it). When we first moved in, the apartment wasn’t clean. There was dirt all over the kitchen floor and the toilets needed serious scrubbing. Crazy neighbors– luckily we had a really quiet building on the end of a row, but we still had some weird things happen. There was a woman who lived downstairs who always bugged us, there were two guys in college next door who occasionally had loud parties, and there was another apartment on our floor in which so many people came and went everyday we couldn’t figure out who lived there (and they also occasionally hung out in the morning on their porch drunk). It also seemed like they had problems keeping their security station staffed, as there were days where no one was there.
But despite these cons, we would have definitely kept living there had work situations not changed.
