Apartments in Columbia, MD

“Bola from Clary’s Crossing was great about answering her phone and had a warm and friendly tone. She was fashionably and professionally dressed as she gave me a guided tour and patiently answered all my questions about the apartment unit. Miss Thelma was so very knowledgeable and educated me about the entire leasing process. They are both doing their best to get me approved since I am in a very unique situation. I am grateful to them both for ALL their help

“Pros and Cons

1. The Bluffs at Fairway Hills (pictures 1-3) *most affordable
1 bed $1642
2 bed $1860
Pros: you do not pay for water/sewage/parking (so additional monthly costs are gas/electric and wifi; cheapest apartments), large windows with lots of light, pet friendly ($350 deposit, $25/mo pet rent), large closets/storage space, and I have never in my many years of renting seen maintenance requests resolved so quickly.
Cons: shared laundry room & they charge you per load, small water heaters (cannot fill bath full of warm water), and the grounds are not well landscaped like other complexes.

I've also done research on four other complexes on Columbia Road to help you compare. We have several communities of townhomes/condominiums on this street as well (Heatherfield, Forsgate Condo, Dorsey's Search Townhouse/Condo, and The Greens at Fairway).

3. Autumn Town Center (pics 6-7)- *prettiest pool area

4. Avalon (pics 8-9)- *prettiest club house (meadows) & most private/secluded (woods)

“I am very blessed to be living here at Columbia Commons! The management is very good and attentive. The maintenance fixes all problems without hesitation. The neighbors are great. I receive all my packages all the time. I feel very lucky!”

“Even though I was 30 minutes late the leasing agent Ericka still took me on a tour anyways. Greatly appreciate that level of service. Not in my price range but it was still nice to take look”

“Since Bozzuto has become the property management group, my experience has been nothing but enjoyable. From the agents to maintenance. I’ve had no issues getting things resolved. I lost my key fob and Yvonne was able to get me a new one the next day. Sade at the concierge desk is always so friendly and greets me whenever I walk in or out (plus my dog loves her!). And when I had an issue in my unit, the maintenance team was able to fix it same day. The team plus the proximity to restaurants and shops make Versa South a great place to live!”
