222 Saratoga 222 East Saratoga Street, Baltimore, MD 21202

"I lived at both the 8th floor and 9th floor apartments in the 3 years I was there. In just those 3 years, the quality of the place went down. From trashcans by the elevators and routinely being cleaned to no trashcans by the elevator at all. Half the dumbbells and equipment in the gym missing. In the three years I have been there they were already on their third property manager. The garage doors and elevators regularly breakdown. They only have one maintenance person for the whole building. The property has good spacing and is in a good location if you need or want to be in downtown Baltimore. Some of the people on my floor were good too. However, at this point most of them are leaving if they have not done so already. Overall the biggest issue seems to be poor management from my perspective. When my heater broke out during the holidays in November 2023 when it was freezing cold and it took two weeks for my heater to get fixed, the Regional Director sent me a $100 discount on the rent for my troubles. I couldn't tell you how disrespectful that was. I took them to escrow, prorated the rent by the two weeks I was without heat and terminated my lease."

"Lived here for a few years now. And this year is the year I can say I really appreciate the community being built. The new leasing office staff are really attentive and being good energy into the building OSHEA thank you for that!"

"Just wanted to document my experience with the ladies in the front office of 222 Saratoga. Specifically B’jion and Shakirah! Although a work opportunity came along and I couldn’t follow through with leasing, these ladies were very nice, supportive and accommodating. Full of laughs and made me feel comfortable. The property was nice and clean along with the apartment shown. Just want to say thank you! Maybe I’ll see you ladies again soon!"

"Affordable apt. Thats where the good feedback ends. Mice are an issue, noisy neighbors, terrible parking situation, stolen packages, you name its here. People leave the door propped open but its suppose to be a secured building.Have not enjoyed living here. Cant wait until my lease is up!"

"—-UPDATE APRIL 2019—- STAY AWAY! This place has gone from 5 stars to 1 star all due to one person, ALYSSA. A few months into our lease, this “property management” company named zahlco took over. All was ok in the beginning. They fired two of the leasing agents we loved, but kept one on. They kept Yohana who was awesome, then brought in another guy who was great. Most recently they’ve hired someone named Alyssa. Ever since then, this community has done nothing but decline. Look anywhere else but here. For starters, no apartment has a dehumidifier, so when it hits 75°, this building is all concrete and you will stick to yourself! Our electricity bill is $300+ consistently because of this! The other manager gave us a dehumidifier that is so big, but yet still has to be emptied every few hours because HOW MOIST it is in here. Alyssa also tried to take that in the winter. Next, there is no security. There are crackheads, EVERYWHERE. If you have a dog, it’s not safe to walk your dog at night unless you carry. Management doesn’t care that people literally smoke crack and shoot up in front of the garage door. They also pitch a tent next to the dumpsters. Also, no one does a thing in this building until Tuesday/Wednesday. They let anyone move in here, so there will be throw-up no one cleans for days, the trash chute is backed up to the 6th floor WEEKLY. Like weekly. This past week my hallway wreaked of trash and disgustingness. I had to email them multiple times to clean the dog poop that was smeared all over the hallways. It seems every other week I have to email them to do something that should have already been done. Our apartment is moldy and sticky. It’s hard to breathe, sleeping is brutal. Also, Alyssa attempts to make illegal entries. She apparently did apartment utility checks, but was under the guise of looking for illegal animals not listed on people’s leases. She didn’t knock on my door and entered my unit without announcing herself. I know she did nothing during these checks because she just emailed me to ask me if my unit was 2b/2b or 1b/1b AND if we had a balcony. You were literally just in here and didn’t take notice to that? Ok There are mice everywhere, which is to be expected in the city, but here it’s simply due to the dirtiness. To reiterate, take your business elsewhere. This place has been driven into the ground, I wouldn’t let anyone I know move in here. —————previous review below———— Tyrika and Brittney were a pleasure to work with! They went above and beyond to help us have a stress free move as we came from across the country. We could not have asked for a more smooth process from signing the lease to getting the keys. We did need maintenance and they come very fast, within 24 hours. We love our apartment, very spacious and affordable which is hard to find in any downtown area. The area is fine, well patrolled, and safe at night. I am comfortable with my girlfriend walking our dog at night as all the streets and alleys are well lit. If you one to look, tell them Lenny sent you from Google!"
