520 Park Apartments 520 Park Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21201

"I've lived here for 8 years and have never had a reason to look elsewhere. They take excellent care of the building and the staff go out of their way to accommodate requests. The building is solid - I never hear noise from other apartments. I don't own a car and the location makes this a true "15 minute city""

"I can tell this management cares about its residents… and that’s not something I can say about 95% of other apartment buildings anywhere you look. It started off rough, but they personally reached out to make things right. I moved in a month or so later, and have been treated with nothing short of “white glove” service. Maintenance is on top of things, I was left a bag of candy on my door for Halloween (something small, but “big” at the same time). And today, they had a free brunch for residents with omelette chefs, mimosas, and more. These gestures (on top of many other things it would take too long to mention) are signs of management who GENUINELY care about its residents and their living experience. One month in and already loving this place! Definitely recommend if you are on the look for a new apartment!"

"Good location, it's close to school. Downstair is a market place that you can get all kinds of food, also you will have discount if you live in here. The environment is quiet and clean. No bugs, no noise. I think it's a perfect place to stay."

"I have lived in a 1bd/1ba in 520 Park since 2019 and am soon moving to a larger apartment in the same building. My time living here has had some ups and downs but here are the reasons I've chosen to continue living here: 1. Location/Transportation: In the safe Mt. Vernon neighborhood with many bars, restaurants nearby. Both Downtown/Inner Harbor and Penn Station are only a 20 minute walk. The light rail next to the building takes you to BWI for $2. 2. Price for quality: The apartment I'm in right now used to cost $1400/month for a one bedroom when I moved in but COVID has said goodbye to those times. $2400/month for a two bedroom is on the lower end for the apartment buildings I toured with similar amenities and square footage. Parking in the above-ground garage at $135/month is about what I paid to park in the Franklin garage down the street. 3. Staff/Maintenance: I have lived her long enough to have seen some drastic staff turnover and have had some issues in the past with the timeliness of maintenance. Once the new leasing office management took over in the summer of 2022, this changed and all of my requests/inquiries have been promptly dealt with. The one drawback I can think of to living here is the noise. I face the courtyard and can hear anyone in it/on their balcony, as well as people singing (both well and badly) or having loud fights in their apartments. I also can hear anyone walking down the hallway facing me. Interestingly, I don't hear my neighbors talking when I am in my apartment but can hear the bass from their music/video games. When I went to ask him to turn it down, I discovered it wasn't very loud at all in his apartment. This is just a feature of apartment living and I can only imagine what my neighbors can hear of me."

"I would highly recommend 520 Park Apartments! I have lived here for almost 2 years, and needed to break my lease to move out-of-state, otherwise I would have been happy to stay here for as long as I lived in Baltimore City. I moved into 520 Park from out-of-state, sight unseen, into a studio. I very much enjoyed the high ceilings and massive windows, which made the studio feel spacious. Maintenance staff was always great and quickly fixed any issues that I submitted (clogged showers, wobbly toilet, AC stopped working). For the renewal process, I was worried about massive rent hikes like I had heard about from other apartment buildings around the same time. However, the increase ended up being much lower than expected, and was even lower than the market rate for the apartments at the time. A few months into my renewed lease, the building had a new leasing office (the current one). The new leasing office, especially Colleen, were wonderful! They went out of their way to help their residents and make improvements to the place. For example, Colleen helped me get set up with the electronic access door access system, which I didn’t even know existed until then! Two treadmills with out-of-order signs for months and months were replaced with brand new machines. The moving out process was painless. The leasing office was able to accommodate my inspection time. Rajko performed the inspection, he was lovely and made the whole process quick and easy. I received my security deposit in the mail within a month of moving out. Outside of the apartment, the location is nice and central to Baltimore City. I used to run down to Inner Harbor on the weekends, or walk up to Penn Station to take the Amtrak to visit family/friends. The Baltimore’s Farmers Market under the JFX is a quick 15 minute walk away, and was where I purchased most of my groceries in the spring/summer/fall."
