Verde at Howard Square West Apartamentos

There seems to be mixed reviews on the noise. It varies depending on what road you are facing, and what your neighbors are like.

Road noise is much higher if you are facing washington blvd. On hearthside way, there is much less road noise as the cars are moving much slower. However, the garbage truck comes around on most weekdays around 8-8:30am, and if you are a light sleeper, you will get woken up by it.

In terms of the neighbor sounds, experiences will highly vary because it depends on your... neighbors. The flooring and walls at verde seem to be very bad at blocking out noise caused by heavy walkers, instruments, kids, pets, etc. If you have quiet neighbors, then this place could be ok, if you want to risk it. Its also impossible to tell how your neighbors will be when you visit the apartments because they might not be there for your 30 minute tour.

Everything else about this place seems ok, but the noise is unacceptable for a place that is advertised as "luxury apartments". The office staff tried to help, but I think these buildings just weren't designed all that well. I've lived in apartments half the price with half the noise. Lee mas

Truly disappointed! The front office staff here is wonderful (Ronald and Chris), and the apartments on the inside are beautiful, however, there if I had to do all over, I honestly would not have moved here a couple of months ago. I'm in the new building (Verde East), and although newly constructed, I feel as though this place will end up being an absolute mess very quickly. Each time I put in a maintenance request, I have to call the office to remind them it has been a few days since I placed... the request, which should be unacceptable. Neighbors are also allowing their dogs to defecate in the garage, and people drive carelessly when coming in and out of the garage.

Let's get into the trash!! The hallway smells terrible because neighbors refuse to use the actual trash chutes, and instead drop food and used containers all over the place. I've spoken to management, and even swept and mopped the trash room myself, but still absolutely nothing is being done. The same trash has been left in the room for a week now, and the floor hasn’t been swept or mopped in over a month when I did it myself! There is actual chicken on the floor (regular occurrence). There is no staff to clean the trash rooms or to check these rooms on a daily basis, although that is what I was told would happen. I mopped in the trash room almost a month ago and no one has swept or mopped since then. If other people want to live with rodents, that's fine, but I'm not at all interested. For the price I pay here, I could have rented a private home in this same neighborhood. People need to do better! Lee mas

I’ve been at Verde for almost two months now. I would usually wait to review but I figured anyone looking for an apartment might benefit from hearing a recent renter’s experience. So far everything is really great. The leasing team is really amazing and some of the friendliest people I have met. After being approved for my unit, I had about a month before my actual move in date. Chris, my leasing agent, was so kind in keeping in touch and letting me come in to see the unit I was going into even... before I was ready to move in. I ended up changing my mind on the initial unit I was going to because I wanted a balcony. I just knew someone would be annoyed but…not at all! Not only were they accommodating to my switch but they turned the paperwork around the same day.

When I moved in (on a Wednesday) it was a breeze, I handed over my paperwork and got my keys. The apartment is really beautiful and spacious for me. The hallways are generally kept clean but every now and then you’ll see a piece of trash lingering. But that’s more on the residents and not the building as a whole. Other reviewers have mentioned noise and there are some valid points with that. I do hear loud footsteps and children running a couple times a day but honestly that’s a price for apartment living. I’m not too sensitive to noise so it doesn’t really bother me at all. Some other pros: garage parking (free for one vehicle and a low fee for adding additional), secured building, amazon hub, maintenance response time.

I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to live in a nice area with accessibility to highways, shopping centers and restaurants. At the very least come in for a tour to see for yourself! Lee mas

These Apartments are built with cheap materials, because of which they are very noisy. Its like living on the road.
They are very pricey and the amenities are also not very good.
Multiple times, the guests cars were towed away for no apparent reason and the manager has no proper response when asked for the reason.
Looks like the towing company and the property management are close associates.

Living at Verde at Howard Square since 2014. Management, especially Cindy, has been excellent and the personnel are always friendly and helpful. The place is awesome and the maintenance team members are quick and skillful. The complex is quiet and clean. I recommend this apartment.
