You know, I wanted to write out this huge post about how shitty The Preserve @ Owings Crossing is – formally known as Owings Manor, but I’ll keep it short and not so sweet. Now only is this place complete shit, the management is run by a bunch of ignorant fucking assholes who could care a less about anything but their salary.
If you read my post below, you’ll see I posted a shit ton of reviews. Take a look at a few I picked out:
“Worst Apartment complex you can chose…”
“Run Away And DONT Look Back”
“I have lived here for 10 1/2 months. I am counting down the days until we get the keys to our new apartment. I HATE THIS PLACE.”
And the list goes on. It’s no surprise that this place is a complete and utter fucking mess.
I have lived here for two years come July and you know, the first couple months of living here were ok but here, I’ll just list the problems:
Parking – My girlfriend and I have to park in the other court ALL of the time since all of our court is packed full of cars. We’ve made multiple complaints and nothing happens but I have 2 wheels on the grass, get towed and have to shell out $220 for fucking nothing!
Screen – Our screen broke so we called to have it replaced, they couldn’t get us a new one but brought in another old and bent up screen that doesn’t even shut.
Maintenance – These assholes obviously don’t need much more than a middle school education. They’ve walked directly in on my girlfriend while she was getting ready for work – no knock or ANYTHING. If I was here, I would have literally beaten the living shit out of these guys. My girlfriend could have just got out of the shower and be nude in OUR apartment. I’d love to see them do it again – you’ll have a nice surprise waiting. Needless to say, when I called leasing about it all I got was “sorry they don’t usually do that.” Read the fucking reviews, we’re not the only people having problems with your maintenance men. And if you want something fixed, be prepared to call multiple times – if they even do anything about it.
Neighbors – I won’t even begin to go into details about this but let’s just say we’ve had criminals, had fights 7am in the morning through 3am, slamming doors, evictions, marijuana smoke and cigarette smoke in the hallways, etc.
Laundry – Yeah, screw all of the money I lost in their broke ass machines and clothes that have been ruined. They lowered their prices finally which is a lot nicer than the $2.25 or 2.50/load they had originally…a little excited..NOT
Car Wash – What car wash? The thing works for a few weeks then someone breaks it, constantly. Also have people from other complex’s coming to use it all of the time.
Gym – Again, what gym? I have been there twice. The first time was ok, nothing special but the second time I went there – all they had was a two 20 year old treadmills, and everything else was BROKE!
Management – they’re all assholes here. The attitude of the employees working in leasing is horrid. They need to be slapped around and realize, I PAY YOUR SALARY YOU FUCKS!
Windows/doors – You’ll see in other reviews, you get such a draft in your house from the doors and windows, your heat is ALWAYS running in the winter. $120+ BGE bill for a one bedroom apartment is INSANE.
Theft – Yup, had valve caps and my hitch cover stolen. Girlfriend has hers stolen too. Not much but still ridiculous.
Graffiti/Destruction – Kids recently thought it would be fun to spray paint the trash cans and balconies of the apartments around here, along with breaking windows in the hallways.
Mailbox – It took multiple calls to get our mailbox fixed. Mailman would not leave the mail since it wouldn’t close so we had to continuously pick it up..what fun!
Trees - This one is interesting. Last summer my girlfriend got sap ALL over her hood and fender from the trees here. Needless to say, they had to repaint her fender. I just got sap all over my Jeep; hood, grille, etc. and the flat out tell me “Park somewhere else.” I love you guys!
All in all – Waterton Residential, Preserve at Owings Crossing, Janile or whatever the hell you name is (you’re an ignorant bitch by the way), and the rest of the employees at leasing and maintenance, FUCK YOU!
I’ve got two weeks left in this place and I am out to my new HOUSE, but these last few weeks will be fun to say the least.

Goodness me the ignorance is amazing!
Any normal human being who is responsible for self- renting or owibg would have more commen sense than the person who wrote this review!
First your language just shows how ignorant you are- Your girlfriend was in the shower…how would she have heard maintenace knock?
Second- parking- clearly if you wanted a place with parking right outide your building you should have rented a place that assigned you a spot right outside your door and be prepared to pay for it! I mean c;mon common sense! If you park where you are not supposed to park you are going to get towed- No matter where you are! Again complaining about TREES! TREES! GROW UP! If you can’t drive Ihope you have car insurance to pay for the damage you caused to your own car!
Your BGE is only $120!! Wow GROW UP! BGE had an eighty percent (80)increase last year…thats about average and most that bill is your usage- log onto to BGE.COM for tips on energy saving……..I could go on and on but clearly ….

I’ve been in few apartments and known plenty of people who have rented apartments before, this is by far one of the worst places I’ve been in. Let me just run a few things passed you to clear you up on these points since it seems you have such a hard time comprehending english.
MY ignorance comes from the near $20,000 I spent at the Preserve. If you don’t like my language, don’t visit. You chose to come here, I didn’t force you. It’s MY blog and MY personal feelings. This apartment complex is a joke – to put it gently.
“My girlfriend could have just got out of the shower” – Read again, COULD.
Park where I’m not supposed to? I was in the lines, there was NO curb.
What do the trees have to do with my driving? I drive just fine. The tree was dripping sap over all of the cars.
BGE was high. I don’t care what you say. In my nearly 3,000 sq ft HOUSE now, it’s roughly $70-100/month. My apartment was claimed to be 900 sq ft and one level. I’ve got plenty of energy saving tips. I run CFL’s everywhere, my windows are insulated, dual zone heat/ac, I think I’m good.
Please, go on. Tell me how your job at the Preserve is going.
