Apartments in Lexington Park

I am moving to lexington park in early Jan. and wanted to hear suggestions on where to live. I am looking for a small 1 bedroom/1 ba. and want to stay near the PAX navy base. When I asked for suggestions, a future co worker told me to stay away from Great Mills Rd.... but anyone have suggestions for safe living near the base for a single female?

and whats so bad about great mills rd?

Before buying my house early this year I rented at Hickory Hills East for about a year (I too was trying to avoid Great Mills Rd. due to it's reputation in the area) I never had any safety concerns living at Hickory Hills and didn't have any big issues with the complex itself. I liked the location in relation to the base, restaurants, shopping etc. Good luck in your apartment hunting.

Thank you, I will take a look at this. Living alone and in a new state, I just want to try to stay in the safest area possible. I also hear the traffic is bad and don't want to stay to far out. Was looking at California MD as well.

To be honest, it doesn't matter if you're further out. The traffic is heavy during rush hour no matter whether you're 5 min from Pax of 15 min from Pax, you're going to have to deal with it. We live in Hollywood and are 5 min from Calif, Md....best advice I can give you is stay away from Calvert if traffic is a concern of yours, I go against the Pax traffic daily and somedays it's backed up for miles

I live at The Greens- Page Not Found... About 3 minutes from gate 2. Been here for 4 years, never had a problem. Abberly Crest is across the street (Willows Rd.). Good luck!

Yea, I hear traffic will always be a problem. I hear California, MD is much nicer in terms of living, newer apartments?

My future co workers told me to stay away from the Greens at all costs. I was considering those at first because the rent seemed cheaper then most...
