Apartments in St. Mary's?

[teacherhm]

I was recently hired in St. Mary's in the Leonardtown area and will be looking to move (in the next few months) from Calvert. I've made a list of apartment complexes that I think look relatively safe, have pretty good ratings on apartmentratings.com, and are reasonably priced, et cetera.
I would love to hear opinions/advice/suggestions about these places (or others) from anyone who might know more about them. (Just a heads up, I'm only looking for one bedroom apartments.) If you'd rather send me a message than respond on here, please feel free to do so! Thanks in advance!

1) Greenview Village Apartments - Lexington Park, MD

3) The Apartments of Wildewood - California, MD

5) Abberly Crest - Lexington Park, MD
6) Park Villas - Lexington Park, MD
7) Spyglass at Cedar Cove Apartments - Lexington Park, MD
8) Elan Settler's Landing - California, MD
9) The Greens at Hilton Run - Lexington Park, MD
10) Hickory Hills East - Great Mills, MD

You should strike 2 and 4 right off the list. I don't think anyone would in good faith recommend them to anyone.

Abberly crest is very nice, and the one bedrooms are lovely. A bit pricier than some, though. I stayed at hickory hills for a year, in the townhomes and found them to be reasonably priced and safe.

Good luck.

Thank you!

You'll have the shortest commute if you move to Wildewood. Take St Andrews Church Road to Rt 5 and you'll be only minutes away from any Leonardtown school.

Welcome to this side of the bridge!

Wildewood apartments are very nice.

I can say #7 should be on your last resort list. Lived there for over 2 years, management changed about 5 times. Expensive, older 80's style apartments, they have been updating them but asking over $1050 for a 1 bedroom. We started out at $850 a month, our next renewal was going to be for $1009.

I like the place, it has nice access to the beach, pretty sweet pool, and close as hell to work. The management company does not give this place the time of day though.

Pros
Beach, pool, proximity to PAX, friendly community

Cons
Expensive, old, someone attempted to break into my truck 2 times, and succeeded once with over $6k in damage. Sewage pump backed up and pretty much all lower level apts had issues, management replaced carpet and that was all.

Wildewood is ok, but they do have a fairly long wait list.

Abberly Crest is nice if you don't mind 0 cell service. I've lived there for 2 years.

Settlers Landing is shaping up to look nice but they are even more expensive than Abberly. Also they aren't scheduled to be open until October.

Good, but close to bad. I lived there for a year with zero issues. Only moved because I bought a house.
7) Spyglass at Cedar Cove Apartments - Lexington Park, MD
Eh. Last resort of the good category.
8) Elan Settler's Landing - California, MD
No clue.

Depends on your price range. Abberly Crest and Wildewood are the current nicest but are the most expensive. The pricing at Settler's Landing is ridiculous based on what I've seen but if you can afford them then they are probably going to be the best as far as safety and convenience, based on pricing and location. Spyglass seemed nice when I went to check it out on my own apartment search, but reviews from those who have lived there are mixed and those are about the farthest from Leonardtown.

You don't have The Greens on your list, they are priced well, seem to be kept up well, and seems to be full of base workers, so safe enough. I've been looking for an apartment as well and after seeing most of the ones you've listed as well as The Greens, think that is the place I am going to move to. Haven't lived there yet though so that is all from visiting/viewing, maybe someone who has lived there (recently, because I understand it was a bad, bad place a few years ago) can tell more.
