If you manage to land a lease for a Hopkins House apartment, you're in luck. These leases often pass from tenant to tenant without ever passing out into the open market. The individual units are quite large and almost all have floor-to-ceiling windows that lead out onto full balconies. The view is limited to the Hopkins campus and Charles Village area, but it's still nice to sit outside on a nice evening. The price is a little steep compared to its neighbor, the Broadview but is relatively safe and in a good area.

Although the Cambridge at 3900 talks a big talk with its fancy name, fancy lobby, and income requirement, I wouldn't classify it as the best of apartments. It reminds me a lot of the Carlyle, only on Charles Street. The apartments themselves are older and could use a bit of renovation. A few friends lived here, and while I enjoyed visiting, I don't think I'd want to live there. They are large apartments though, so if space and quietness are your goals, you'll find them at 3900.

A few of my friends lived in the Carlyle while residing in Baltimore, and all of them seemed pretty happy. The apartments are pretty darn spacious with large living rooms and plenty of storage space. Since it's part hotel and part apartments, the atmosphere is a bit stuffy (complete with that hotel smell...). Overall, a nice place to live but a little far from the Johns Hopkins campus if you're a student.

I initially considered Chelsea on the Square Apartments when shopping for a new residence. A few months after selecting another location, I drove by this complex and am quite satisfied that I didn't end up choosing this place. The actual complex is far cry from the advertisements in books and online. It looked really cheap from the outside, and some unit buildings had lights out or broken fixtures. The trash dumpsters were overflowing, and it just looked really, really unkempt. The price may be right, but visit before renting here.

You'll be hard pressed to find a better apartment complex than University Courtyard if you're an undergraduate at the University of Delaware. Apartments are spacious, many with balconies, it's within walking distance of campus, and there's plenty of parking available. However, such perks come at a high price. Rental is extremely expensive, especially if you want a studio or one bedroom unit. The three and four-bedroom models are much more reasonable, but you've gotta find roommates. Don't bother unless you're a University student, and even then, you'll end up on a waiting list.

I know of two people who resided at Victoria Mews for a few years. Each one had a relatively good experience, and for different reasons. The building is pet-friendly, which is hard to find in Newark apartments. On the downside though, the walls and floors are VERY thin, and more than once I'd heard complaints that stereos and musicians have disrupted sleep or studying. Overall, the apartments are family-friendly and attract far fewer college students than nearby rental properties.

One look at Park Place indicates how much of a college crowd resides here. Even the outside of this complex resembles aged fraternity houses, from the loud music to the assorted "trash" kept outside the units. I wouldn't claim that it's as bad as Towne Court across the street, but you can do much, much better than this complex. Something about it just doesn't look safe.

Towne Court Apartments are in serious need of renovation. When I was considering apartments in the area, I stopped by and was disgusted enough by the trash everywhere, dirty unit exteriors, and clear lack of care by the leasing agency. Though the rental agency claimed they had recently renovated, I didn't see where they might have been improving their image. There has also been a recent surge of violence associated with this complex, which alone is enough to turn me off. Do yourself a favor and live somewhere else.

Colonial Gardens is chock full of students at the nearby University of Delaware, within walking distance of the complex. Rental for these apartments are reasonable, but I've heard many complaints about water damage, mold growth, and general maintenance issues. Although I know several graduate students who lived peacefully at Colonial Gardens for several years,their main rationale was its convenience to campus. Given the crowd and the college town, don't move in expecting a quiet neighborhood.

My husband lived at the Historic Bellerive Apartments while residing in Kansas City. The building is a far cry from modern apartment complexes with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, but the units are absolutely huge. In addition, all utilities are included in the cost of rent. I don't think I'd want to live here if given the choice, but if you're mainly concerned with having enough space over style, then give the Bellerive a call.
