The Varsity Maryland Apartments

This was a place for my son and his friends attending UMD College park. Do NOT recommend - look anywhere else...

Just a few of the issues uncovered upon move-in:
*apartment a mess at move-in. clearly not cleaned from previous tenants including clothes under a tipped-over dresser, furniture scattered in the rooms.
* A/C not working on move-in and still not fixed after 2 weeks during heat index over 100. Repeated excuses and delays
* knob missing from washing machine rendering it... non-functional, no response on a fix
* lease process filled with mistakes (incorrect payments listed, discounts not applied). If I had not been vigilant this would have been missed - maybe this was not intentional but at the least another sign of a lack of professionalism/competence.
*shower rod broken and no response/fix after 2 weeks

I cannot compare with other buildings in the college park area - maybe they are all like this. But for the cost this is worse than any experience I had in terms of awful management and maintenance. This is the kind of place that gives landlords a bad name. Read More

- Frequently ignored maintenance requests, taking WEEKS to fix simple issues or not fix them at all, had an outlet that was broken the entire time I lived here and the washer/dryer was out of commission for a month
- Lost my packages on multiple occasions, some being expensive
- Trash chute was not emptied for weeks, leaving piles of garbage by the opening that brought in flies and left a horrible smell
- Mold is abundant in all units, bathrooms have poor ventilaiton that allow it to grow ...
- More than half of the units did not have A/C during the summer
- WiFi constantly went out during the school year
- Creepy men were able to come into the building and harass girls in the gym
- When I called to ask about move in information, the office hung up on me three times in a row
- The front desk was frequently empty, making it hard to ask questions or get packages

The only reason I lived here is because Looneys is my favorite bar and my friends chose to be here too. Nearly all of us have left. Don't waste your time and money. Read More

Lived here for 2 years and it was always something, whether it was the terrible WIFI, weekly unnecessary fire alarms, appliances breaking with no maintenance fulfillment, leaf blower at 9am on weekdays, no security on the doors, and all of this at a heavy price. I can honestly keep on going with the problems too.

Mold, spider webs, filthy floor, broken and non working appliances broken blinds. Can not add pics!!

All night long it is so LOUD. The building actually vibrates from the club downstairs.
