Stafford Apartments, baltimore-md

I lived at the Stafford for two years and it is a quirky building! My experience in the actual building itself was too shaped by my unit (no natural sunlight due to the building next-door) to be indicative of the building as a whole, so take this review with that grain of salt. The overall building and the property managers here are lovely! I first want to highlight that Christine is an absolutely WONDERFUL property manager. She is always incredibly responsive and ensures that all residents are cared for. When my ceiling leaked, she made sure to update me consistently throughout the process, and even took my bedding to be laundered! Truly all of the front desk/property managers are lovely (special shout-out to Ty for being so helpful with all my questions over the past two years!) There have also been more community events especially this part year, which makes the apartment feel like a community. That said, the Stafford is a historic building and that does come with a fair number of issues. The hot water can be quite inconsistent (though this is often tied to Baltimore City water issues), there are issues with bugs in the summer, and the elevators are about 50/50 operational. Utilities are included however, and this is an excellent place to live, particularly if you commute via public transit.

I lived in the Stafford Apartments for two years during my graduate study in the area. While the building is old and has some small wrinkles that come from that, my overall experience was a positive one. I had a spacious apartment, never had any big maintenance issues, and Christine is a particularly excellent and kind property manager. What issues and questions I did have she always worked hard to resolve and was friendly and helpful throughout. Overall, would recommend this complex, particularly for local students.

Having rented a couple apartments at The Stafford over the past few years, I have always found the staff and management to be very responsive, helpful, and professional. In particular, Christine and Tai have gone above and beyond (assisting with a lockout on the weekend, dealing with moving issues, etc) compared to other apartment complexes I have dealt with in the past. Yes, it is an old building but it has charm and the plus is all utilities are included in the price so you don’t have to deal with all sorts of bills. Friendly atmosphere.

It's an old building, and the facilities are quite outdated. The elevators are slow, and the shower water temperature is extremely inconsistent (too hot/cold) The property manager, Christine. She is very short-tempered and rude. Although she eventually resolved the issues, her attitude throughout the process was unpleasant and unprofessional.

My first stay at the Stafford, while possessing a few hiccups, turned around for the better! I anticipated the few issues that occurred since it is a building of antiquity. However, Christine and Tai handled every issue with grace and patience. As a student with a rigorous schedule it’s imperative that my living conditions be decent enough to focus on my studies, and the property managers made it just that, from Tai making sure my e-mails reached corporate to Christine making personal calls to my phone, guiding me through maintenance requests. I couldn’t ask for a better team of property managers. Thank you Christine and Tai!
