It said that there was an error in submitting my response but it didn't explain what the problem was. So I had to call the front office and tell them that I would be staying for another year.

Quiet and peaceful community. Service issues handled in a timely and professional manner. Maintenance of common areas, as well as fireplaces, dryer vents, etc., is top tier. I am really impressed.

Good morning I have been here for over 3 years now and doing my 3 years of staying I have hardly any complaints. Miss Ashley who is our lease renewal specialist is very wonderful she's always welcoming anyone to contact her for information regarding police or lease renewals she is very comforting to speak with regarding these matters maintenance has been wonderful they have been on time they've been very respectful when it comes to announcing themselves in the home I gave four stars because sometimes when I call the rental office they don't answer and they're actually in the office. And sometimes they can be kind of mean over the phone but after 3 years you learn to have a relationship with the staff and overall this is a wonderful community. I like that it's secured the only other thing is the foundation to the homes need to be a little bit more stable because when apartment doors slams and actually shakes the walls and sometimes my things fall off for the walls. If you're looking for a great place to stay it is very peaceful here the community is very quiet we are pet lovers here and the leasing office make sure that our community is clean for our pets and us as well.

Stayed here for one 12month lease in a 1 bed 1 bath. Moved here from out of state for work. Couldn’t take an in person walk through had to take a leap of faith because it was the cheapest I saw from 5 options. The original offer was $1540 a month. Had it signed 2 months before I moved in to it being changed 3 weeks before I moved in for an amazing deal of $1721 a month. Not. But it’s my fault for accepting such a deal.
On my move in day they were last second “fixing” things if that wasn’t foreshadowing idk what else was.
White paint over everything. New counter top and new fridge cool. But the worst dry wall job out there. 5 previously existing light fixtures covered and two light switches for the living room and bed room mean to active only a wall outlet for the “in vogue” lamps only style. I found out through other reviews other apartments did in fact have lights and fans in the old spots but they decided to remove them for me how kind.
I didn’t realized that Maryland doesn’t allow you to break lease unless you are joining the military or moving because of it so I was trapped.
My final two months I already moved out and check on the apartment every other day but they still charged me $65 per month for water and $50-70 for electricity. The ac was turned off and I never showered or took a baths since I was away. Ridiculous. This $1721 magically turns into $1900+ a month.
Be it the monthly charge for pest control yet it’s none stop spiders has me thinking that is a joke.
Neighbors smoker weed outside once a week I am not a fan yet I tolerated but not the best for the “family environment “ meant to be given off.
I suggest anyone thinking about moving into this area look somewhere else. Ask future coworkers ahead of your move. Actually visit the places before you move in so you dont have to suffer for 12 months like me and the many others.
Don’t believe the random 5 stars these are robot lies. Believe the 2 and 3 star reviews and go to abberly or rent a persons basement you will be treated so much better.
Hello random fake robot managers. I did live here. Let the real manager know I am happy to have gotten more than half my deposit of $750 back but it’s still sad.
Maybe white painting over more doors and fixtures will bring in the new tenants you desire.
Stay away and be safe everyone.

Spark has had a mold problem ever since the HVAC units were replaced a few months ago and has ignored the residents’ concerns. Maintenance came out and cleaned the outside of my vent, however the inside of all of my vents look like the picture attached, and the results of the mold test swabs can be seen in the other picture. I can smell the mold when the AC is running. Additionally, there is a mouse living within the apartment walls. I have contacted maintenance, and my request went unacknowledged for weeks before being closed with no action.
I have left voicemails the last couple of weeks asking to have the mold and mouse addressed, as this is unhygienic and unsafe. I’ve also shown up to the leasing office a few times during working hours, however they’re never there. Avoid this complex at all costs!
