Avalon Towson

The apartment is nice mainly because it's new and offers a wide range of amenities to enjoy. But living here has definitely presented its issues. Sure, the space is clean, modern, comes with amenities such as a fitness center, pool, courtyard, rooftop lounge, etc. But unfortunately, the issues outweigh the positives in my opinion. The garage is terribly designed and is a major safety concern as residents do not obey the speed limits and whip around the corner pillers, causing near head-on… collisions. In addition, there is extremely limited overnight guest parking (about 8 spots for a building of 400 units) and not very many other free options for guests nearby. The building is an odd layout and providing directions to delivery people and guests can be a nightmare alone. The worst of all is the faulty fire alarm system which triggers at odd hours of the night (3am, 5am, etc) and sometimes continues for hours until the fire department can figure out how to turn it off. The issue has occurred so often that residents barely evacuate anymore which presents a huge safety concern for me and my family. The staff at the leasing office is kind but doesn't take much action to resolve any concerns even if they pertain to safety. This is one of the more high-end apartment buildings in Towson and for the amount of rent residents pay to live here, Avalon should be able to sort these issues out. If you can handle these issues then you'll probably be fine living here. But unfortunately, I cannot recommend it. Read More
