222 Saratoga Apartments

This place is currently mouse and roach infested. I have made property management aware of the high levels of exposure in my apartment for months. And nothing has been done about It. A lot of potential but understaffed and disgusting.

I lived at both the 8th floor and 9th floor apartments in the 3 years I was there. In just those 3 years, the quality of the place went down. From trashcans by the elevators and routinely being cleaned to no trashcans by the elevator at all. Half the dumbbells and equipment in the gym missing. In the three years I have been there they were already on their third property manager. The garage doors and elevators regularly breakdown. They only have one maintenance person for the whole building.... The property has good spacing and is in a good location if you need or want to be in downtown Baltimore. Some of the people on my floor were good too. However, at this point most of them are leaving if they have not done so already. Overall the biggest issue seems to be poor management from my perspective. When my heater broke out during the holidays in November 2023 when it was freezing cold and it took two weeks for my heater to get fixed, the Regional Director sent me a $100 discount on the rent for my troubles. I couldn't tell you how disrespectful that was. I took them to escrow, prorated the rent by the two weeks I was without heat and terminated my lease. Lee mas

The property and management were pretty good when I moved in. The apartment size is worth the rent. Do not expect a luxury building as advertised on their website. Within the last year the building has started to decline. Maintenace request takes longer to get filled and often have to send follow-up emails. Also, there are unhoused people that sleep in front of the building now and they keep the street filthy, I am embarrassed to invite company over. This building has so much potential, but I... will be moving out when my lease ends because I am tired of stepping over unhoused people when I leave the building. Before signing a lease here, I suggest that you do a night visit on the weekend. Lee mas

My experience with 222 E Saratoga Apartments has overall been negative. The apartment that I moved into was dirty and disgusting. The surrounding location is also bad. There are MUCH better apartments available in Baltimore to spend your money on. The management here does not seem to care. Although the price is reasonable, I do not recommend anyone to move here.

I've lived in numerous downtown apartments in several cities. I'm in my second year at 222 E. Saratoga. The newly renovated units are beautiful and very spacious. The location is fantastic. The block is up and coming, and is an easy walk to Mt. Vernon, downtown proper, and the harbor. Being immediately next to the farmer's market and Baltimore's new most buzzworthy restaurants (Ida B's) is a huge plus. The amenities are great (very clean and posh common area and gym).

The new management... is extremely professional, responsive, and courteous.

I'd strongly recommend the building to anyone wanting to live downtown. Lee mas
