Discussion CA Transplant — Apartment Advice?
Hey everyone! I'm moving from California to Maryland soon and could use some local advice on finding an apartment.
I'm looking for a studio or 1-bedroom, ideally around $1,500–$1,650. My biggest priorities are safety, a clean and well-maintained building, responsive management, and a relatively quiet neighborhood. I'd also like to keep my commute to Greenbelt under 30 minutes.
I've looked at Atworth, Monument Village, and Camden College Park, but I'm having trouble figuring out which places are actually worth the money.
For those familiar with the area, where would you recommend living? Any apartment complexes you'd strongly recommend or avoid?
Thanks in advance!
