The Elms Apartments

LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HORRIBLE PLACE. i would give 0 stars if i could. im not sure if i should start with the incompetence with the manager and the staff or with the health hazards of this place. Rats, coach roaches, bedbugs. the trash fills up most of the building entrance's ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. we have had no AC no hot water for days- mind you the HOTTEST days. we have elderly people, ill people, babies, toddlers, kids, regular people living with NO AC! they sent out an... email saying it will be fixed on a specific time and date but nothing yet! if you bring up your worries and issues to the front office they dismiss you giving you no importance to you or your apartment. they always have nasty attitudes as if it's our fault they are incompetent. DO NOT MOVE HERE. PLEASE DO NOT MOVE HERE! Read More

I toured this community today. I was greeted two of the most pleasant Leasing Agents Angela and Victoria. These ladies both have very welcoming spirits. That alone made me feel a home already.....walking thru the buildings, you can see the facelift taking place. However, the apartments are slightly dated for the price BUT the apartments are spacious. The location is perfect, just down the road from shops and major.

Mice, roaches, filthy hallways and stairwells, unchecked leaks and foul smells in hallways, elevators frequently down, poor maintenance practices, poor management, "security" doors always broken, says pet friendly but no pet disposal stations anywhere on property so people leave their poop on the grounds, trash all around the property/no enclosures, the main building where the office is undergoing a "renovation" for the past 30 days and still not completed. Replaced with more carpeting that is... already stained and dirty (waste of money), and light colored "plank" that will be filthy in less than 60 days guaranteed. New owners only want money and more money. They amount of rent they charge should more than cover them being able to provide at least a modicum of decent and clean housing. It's embarrassing to live here, but sadly everyone cannot just pick up and move or I'm sure this place would be nearly empty LOL. Read More

I currently live here, and have for two years now. There is always emergency services, ESPECIALLY the police showing up here throughout the day. The supposed gym is and has been "under construction " for the last two years with NO sign of any improvement. The swimming pool has been closed and is currently closed. The old management had no answers about when it would reopen. And NOW the present property manager, rudely had no answers except that "we get to it when possible". Earlier, this year,... the was an infestation of roaches because of several residents. And even AFTER, daily complaints the probably was NOT immediately resolved. Lastly, there was a decision by the new management company to raise rent, yet not fix the ills NOR the amenities that living here is suppose to include. One of the worst managed properties in laurel, and hands down in Maryland.

For starters, the front double doors within the building that I lived in are often broken on multiple occasions. The carpets in the hallway are so filthy that they leave a smell. I've also seen bugs (i.e. roaches) crawling on the walls as well as a dead mouse in the hallway near my door. Roaches came, left and returned again. They have pest control come out but it does nothing. DO NOT MOVE HERE !!!
