The Brook At Columbia Apartments

I have complained about the noisy neighbors above me. Nothing has been resolved.

When I was applying for the apartment, the leasing staff had trouble understanding how BAH for the military works. It took a week and a half to fix a broken water pipe that was the result from them turning off the water in the building in winter to fix a pipe that burst. They never thought to check the pipes on the other floors to see if they were in good condition. It took several maintenance requests and visits to the leasing office to have the problem fixed. The air conditioning unit broke in... the beginning of the summer, but the maintenance man said the Freon level was low in the unit, so he topped it off. Well the only way for that to be low is for it to either have never been fully filled or there was a leak somewhere. they never checked on it after putting in requests later down the road when the system stopped working again. Maintenance came in to fix the dishwasher, then disappeared for several days once they said they needed a part to fix it, yet during that time I never heard back from them. We had to call the leasing office several times in order to finally get a hold of someone who would actually listen to the issue. Maintenance changed out the washer/dryer combo unit from the apartment across the hall from mine and left the old unit in the hallway for a couple of weeks. The facility does not have a pool like it lists on the website. The pool is actually a public pool across the street behind 7/11. Read More

It is ok. The maintenance and the up keep could be better for the amount of rent you pay.

So...I love this place. It's conveniently located to the mall and I can step outside and immediately go for a long run. The price is great and they're very flexible with leasing options. I'd stay there forever if I didn't need to buy a house. I highly recommend it. My only "complaint" is that there are no EV chargers. :-)

I currently live at the bershires of Columbia. They are located in Howard county off highway 29 south. The Columbia mall is about 5 minutes from my house, also the maryweather pavilion post is close by, including Columbia lake, also great views of this location, any many places to go out and eat and enjoy your family in a peaceful environment.I currently rent a big spacious 3 bedroom apartment, the maintenance on the property is always maintained,the community is great, I never have issues with... leasing office or neighbors. The apartments are very spacious and my children love where they live..the schools are awesome if you have children, the crime rate is very very low..my 8 year old son has improved dramatically because of the location, his calm environment, and all the wonderful opportunities that's around him..They have the Columbia association where family's can sign up and be apart of the community...I thank god for where I live. I can concentrate on being a parent and live comfortable..my apartment stays clean all the time and I love the fact that most importantly my children are happy..my 4yr old daughter said "this is the best place ever, and my room is like a princess room". Her 8 month old sister is able to crawl around on the floor and be free from dust, dirt, germs..just because we value where We stay by keeping it clean...thanks to my husband. He is so helpful when it comes to our place..overall where I live I recommend to anyone that has a family and want to see their children to experience a calm and happy environment, not forgetting all the wonderful things that Howard county has to offer anyone. .I'm very greatful for where I'm at in my life. If I could do a video recording just to show you how comfortable my family and I live..you would want to move that moment...speachless Read More
