Ruxton Towers-Towson

Lots of renovations recently, new windows, new HVAC. Mgmt. has been very proactive in addressing the needs of the residents and maintenance issue are addressed promptly.

The apt is very spacious and the rent is very reasonable. The renovations to the building are a nice added touch.

The ventilation system is such that food odors from other apartments come into your apt through the vent system inside your apt and the odors also travel down the public hallways and seep under the doors to nearby apartments making it a double whammy situation. To address the problem the management decided to install a very strong deodorizer into the building wide vent system and now many of us find that odor intolerable and it is a continuous problem whereas the food odors are an intermittent problem. The deodorizer in the buildings ventilation system did not solve the problem. It just created an additional problem for residents who are sensitive to odors. The building manager does not seem amenable to hearing that the deodorizer is not helping. He insists that a dozen or so people like the smell. He's seems unable to hear that many more find the smell extremely unpleasant.

We live in an old building. Our new manager tries very hard to make all things right for us. We have a mix of young college students (all are very nice) and many older people like me who have been here for many years. We have the best location in town.

The building is old. One of the ladies at the front desk is very rude. Rent is higher than it's worth. Good luck finding a good time to do your small, expensive loads of laundry when one washer and dryer aren't meant for a whole floor.
