Bowling Brook Apartments

We toured these apartments in January of 2026. We left feeling underwhelmed.

After viewing the virtual tours, we were excited to tour the renovated floor plans. Only to find out that one building, of what seemed to be 30+ buildings, had been renovated and was at 100% occupancy. The virtual tours should not highlight those floor plans, since it’s unlikely to lease a renovated unit. The units that were available were extremely outdated and priced the same as newer apartment complexes with more... amenities.

Reserved parking also seemed to be extremely limited and priced higher than some other places that had ample assigned parking. Lee mas

My partner and I have been living here for over a month now. I like this community quite a bit. I like everything from the overall aesthetic of the communities buildings, the apartment home itself, and the grounds. In the month and a half I've been here I swear I've seen groundskeepers here sometimes twice in one week! It's one of the few communities I've seen with a tennis court available which make my partner and I happy. The fitness center is sufficient. The pool is large. The picnic... area is a plus. Let's talk about the apartment itself. It's modern with a homey charm. The thing I like most is the layout. It's a one bedroom with a den/office and TWO full baths. I'm a bathroom hog, so this has been magic for my partner and I. I'm also very happy with the responsiveness of the team at the leasing office, and maintenance teams. Becca was our leasing agent, and she was kind, communicative and professional. Thank you. Lee mas

I lived here since December 2015. I really don't like living at bowling brook apartment anymore. There rent is way too high. There maintenance doesn't come on time. They staff are not polite. I would not recommend people living there.

I have been living in Bowling Brook for two years now, and my experience has been incredibly disappointing. The gym facilities were in poor condition throughout my entire tenure, with several machines constantly out of order and "out of order" signs hanging on them. The management did not use the one-month closure of the gym for exterior revamping to address the gym equipment, which was in dire need of an upgrade.

To make matters worse, the management company increased my rent by $200 in my... first year and recently sent a renewal letter with a rent increase of $305. It is clear that they prioritize meeting market demand over the well-being of their current residents, and they show little concern for those who may struggle to afford the higher rent.

Additionally, the management team seems to have little regard for resident input on community changes. They frequently send out letters about community updates but offer no means for residents to voice their opinions or concerns.

Lastly, the hot water usage is severely limited, with the hot water running out after just one person takes a shower. Although I reported the issue to maintenance, the temporary fixes they applied did not solve the problem. Instead of installing a new water heater, they applied a temporary patch that failed to address the root cause of the issue.
Overall, my experience at Bowling Brook has been disappointing, and I would not recommend this complex to anyone looking for a comfortable and accommodating living environment Lee mas

I want to start off by saying that Ashley from the leasing office has been awesome! she was always quick to respond to our messages and was always very helpful. Other employees at the leasing office were also very kind and respectful.

Our experience here has been nothing short of exceptional. Everything worked great; lights, water, washer/dryer etc. We've never had any noise complaints and we don't recall hearing neighbors being loud.

Bowling Brook always kept us updated for any maintenance... that was going on.

the gym was great! As a person that likes to workout, I found their gym to be sufficient enough for anybody who wants to workout.

The pool was also another thing that we really liked. It has an area where you can grill and if you wanted to have guests with you that don't have pool passes, you could pay a very small amount. very worth it.

They have a tennis and volleyball court which my family and I utilized a lot. It was very fun.

We liked how everything was so close. BWI airport was just 15-20mins away, there's a walking trail, restaurant, and a very good bakery within walking distance from bowling brook, an amazing brewery that's like 2 miles away, laurel shopping that's not too far, and if you're military, it's 18-20mins away from fort meade.

There's nothing to not like about this place! we're very grateful for Bowling brook! Lee mas
