          Maintenance didn't communicate well. Maintenance didn't tell me if the fireplace could be cleaned or not. Maintenance came to the door without mask, and shoe covers on. I expect for maintenance to be prepared and receive a phone call or notification before entering or coming to the apartment.

            I've lived at the Bowen apartments since 2013 and I've had a wonderful experience. Maintenance is very quick to respond and the office staff is very helpful and kind. I would recommend that the pool water be changed though.

                It was ok until I had conversations with residents that have been there long term. The staff in the office is very unprofessional. The community is nice but there are things that need to change. I ran into a bad situation and lost my job. I applied for rental aid with the county but the office was not cooperative in the matter is helping get the rent paid. Then they offered to extend the lease and took it away for the non payment and all I was trying to do was get caught up. I'm fact the application was still able to be processed t they just were not to caring about the matter. The staff has a very bad reputation and brings the community down.

                  Overall community is good. A few things have changed since 2020; the removal of security system in each unit and lack of security cameras in building, garage & near street, cars are being broken into alot especially during the winter when it gets dark early!

                    So glad to hear that your overall opinion of our community is favorable. We did need to remove the non-working systems and many residents prefer the options of a video camera and mobile access that more flexible companies were offering. With regard to car break-ins, have you reported them to the management team? Were they on the community or Health Center Drive? Please let the on-site team know so that we can be sure to cooperate with the local police. Thank you again for leaving us a review, we appreciate your feedback.

                      They lied about alarm systems, they advertised alarm systems in every apartment and then took them out and you pay for your own, but didn't adjust the rent. You pay for parking every month and visitor parking if needed, but if you a motorcycle you can take up a parking space for free.

                        Thank you for taking the time to leave us this necessary feedback, it is important for us to know what our members think. While we attempted to over-communicate regarding the outdated, nonworking alarm panels we can understand that the message may have been interpreted wrong. We cannot apologize enough for that. Have you spoken with the Community Directors regarding your concerns? If not, please give them a call to see how we can come to a common ground surrounding the alarm panels that were non-working. Thank you so much again.

The staff is always professional, courteous and able to resolve any issue that may arise. The community's amenities were definitely designed with its resident's in mind. It is a nice place to live in and were are glad to be part of it.

                                This community is the best I have found in the Bowie area. Security could be beefed up a bit to avoid some of the issues in the garage and around the community. Amenities are great and the property is clean. Weed usage is an issue but not sure much can be done about it since most are doing it inside their units. It does make for unpleasant smells in the hallways.

All drainage seeps through and drips on patio furniture. Pets have been put out on deck and they have urinated through deck onto my patio furniture.

                                        My experience has been mixed. I like the community and the maintenance response has been good, but management has not communicated well regarding certain things, including a recent crime committed on the property. The emails sent from office management were not clear in explaining to residents what happened, and how it happened. Residents need to know the severity of the situation in order to make decisions for their own safety and well being. Also, appliances should be kept up to date, not just functional, in a "luxury" building.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the investigation, the police department did not share any information with the on-site team, so the notices that went out were based on what information was available from news sources. We apologize if all your questions were not answered please reach out to the onsite team if you still have questions or concerns. We value you as a resident and want to do what we can to ensure you love your home at The Bowen.
