Avalon Arundel Crossing

I have lived here for many years, and unfortunately, this place has gone downhill. As someone mentioned, if you happen to live next to loud and inconsiderate neighbors, the leasing staff won't do anything about it (even when you put in noise complaints).

For the amount you pay, you wouldn't expect to be dealing with people blasting music all hours of the night, smell of weed throughout the complex, and pet waste all around the grounds. There have also been a handful of tire theft incidents... over the years.

I would be careful renting here and would look at other complexes. Again, for the price you are paying, you wouldn't expect to be dealing with the behavior of many of the tenants who live here. And know that management tolerates this behavior and will not enforce rules. Lee mas

I’ve been here for little over a year and for the first few months it’s been peaceful. However, things changed when this inconsiderate neighbor moved next to me. He has been LOUD even during quiet hours and I have sent in noise complaints to the apartment. Nothing, all they do is send in a warning but it doesn’t matter if your neighbor is an inconsiderate tool. Don’t live here, you get no peace for the price you pay!

Community has gone downhill since being acquired by AvalonBay from JLB. Weed smoke everywhere, and breaking and entering into vehicles. Paying for parking, but no towing; allowing others to park for free. Paper thin walls and flooring, can hear everything. Would not recommend.

This place is awful. They say it is smoke free but I guess weed is okay. The place is falling apart looks good and is kind of quiet only because they cant keep places occupied for the high price and low quality.

This community has unfortunately gone extremely far downhill since we moved in, roughly 2.5 years ago. Crime in public areas has increased dramatically, with suspicious activity a regularity at this point and damage to a vehicle at some point during a one-year lease nearly guaranteed. Avalon are doing nothing to address these concerns by improving security, improving lighting in parking lots, nor installing cameras in public areas.

The apartments are built and maintained to very low standards.... Noise travels easily through walls and ceilings, cabinet doors and bedroom/bathroom doors hinges strip out often. The foundation in our building has clearly shifted since being built in 2016 and has led to doors no longer lining up with frames, cracking drywall seams, etc. Our apartment sustained continuous severe water damage throughout our second lease term, despite many full days of 'construction' taking place in our apartment's living area to 'fix' the issue. After which, a thick layer of drywall dust was left over all of our belongings and we were left to clean it ourselves. This on top of the lack of response to other relatively major maintenance requests (usually the result of deferred maintenance to major equipment like the A/C, water heaters, etc.) make it a chore to live here. The maintenance staff themselves are mostly wonderfully helpful, they're just clearly overworked and understaffed, it seems.

Spend your rent money elsewhere, please.
