I can't say enough good things about Luke and the entire Bozzuto team. They've been absolutely amazing--responsive, caring, and genuinely dedicated to helping their residents. I've had some personal health issues recently, and they were incredibly accommodating and empathetic throughout the process. Their kindness and professionalism made such a difference, and I'm so grateful for their support. I'd also like to share a short story that really shows the kind of community Bozzuto helps foster. I was having a particularly hard day--arms full, struggling to get the door open and manage my dog, and just trying to hold myself together. I was crying when a young boy, maybe 11 or 12 years old, asked if he could help me. That simple gesture made me cry even more. He offered to carry things or even walk my dog to my apartment. I told him how much I appreciated him, but that I would get it done. He still walked up to the the elevator just to make sure I got in okay and so he could push the button for me. Whoever his parents are--what fantastic people you must be! Moments like that remind me how special this community truly is. Thank you, Luke, and the whole Bozzuto team, for everything you do and for creating a place filled with such compassion and kindness. Highly recommend! read more

Not a safe community, whatever you do don't move here. Management needs improvement. There's nothing done for the safety of the community. Rent is extremely high and the customer service is trash. It's not worth your money or time read more

I been here only to visit these hallways are nasty drippings from trash, spilled drinks whatever was spilled has stained the carpeting yes I said carpeting. these huge buildings have carpeted hallways and I don't understand. if they are there why not clean them or have a trash shoot so the awful stains arent in the hallways. it smells awful and the walls are dinged up scared and scratched it's awful....at best they could have used a better paint than builders grade. these multiple income properties are the new age projects...the hallway carpets tell me what the maintenance is like... read more

Great place to live... very clean and quiet ! helpful Office and Maintenance Staff . Also the gym is huge and never crowded.

When I first moved here I loved it. But it has truly lack the up keeping and the maintenance has went down hills since they lost some of the great ones. I'm so disappointed!! read more

I have been living at Azure for 5 years and it has been a great place to live and raise my son. The staff is very friendly and always willing to help. There are plenty of shopping and activities nearby. read more

As Colorado Girl said below, the office goes to extreme lengths to get fake positive reviews. Now they have sunk to a new low and have sent out emails to all tenants asking for reviews and offering to pay $500 for the best ones, with many others cash prizes. Having lived here a few years, I am not surprised this is the only way they can get good reviews. Prepare yourself to see the best reviews money can buy! They also troll the reviews and harass and threaten tenants that post negative reviews. read more

Azure takes down negative reviews both on their website and on yelp. If only they spent as much time on on the buildings. 1) The hallways are filled with an ungodly STENCH from tenants smoking skunk weed non-stop, also trash, dank, dampness, and who knows what else. And NO, you cannot keep the stench out of your unit. 2) The appliances are absolute substandard garbage. It's obvious they order the cheapest of everything. They actually have to have a weird maintenence person come in (after you give them your money) and explain how fragile and useless the appliances are so you don't break them through ordinary usage. 3) Washing machine -- you cannot even wash king sheets. If everthing is not perfectly even inside, it will shake and rock and maybe catch fire! I'm not kidding! Hope you have lots of money and time to waste taking your wash to the laundry mat. 4) Garbage disposal -- exceedingly loud and after it basically just spins the food around leaves most of it to rot. I checked it after 3 minutes of rotation loud enough to give a migraine, and all it did was spin the food against the sides. 4) Toilet -- hope you don't use more than 3 squares of TP or it will overflow. Again, the cheapest money can buy. 5) Neighborhood shopping -- there is none. Besides an on-site place that sells coffee, there is what appears to be some kind of cheesy bar/truck stop a block away. 6) Grounds - a huge parking lot with a few sad tiny trees planted on small strips of grass. Even if you get a place that faces outward, you are looking either at the Highway (100/Coca Cola) or more parking lots and cement. 7) Neighbors - is there anyone here that doesn't do drugs and/or blast thier music? 8) Bait and Switch - Don't believe anything they tell you when you are looking at the humongous model apartment. These lies are intentional on their part. The actual apartments are nothing like the model, which has a gargantuan walk-in closet and a bathroom 3x the size of the actual bathrooms. They will tell you your apartment has this; ignore everything that comes out of their mouths, it's just a sleeze-ball sales pitch. read more

I recently moved out along with many others. There was a survey some time ago, asking residents what type of online ratings looked 'credible' (see picture examples), showing various examples of website star ratings, asking respondent to choose which ones would lead to leasing an apartment and to explain why. I suspect fake reviews came from the results of this survey, as over time, online reviews seem to have morphed to the best examples, and why else would they send such a survey. They raised rents again but offered no improvements. The appliances are bottom line. The washer doesn't rinse your clothes and you can't select the water level. The dishwasher doesn't clean dishes even on pots/pans cycle. The stove top is impossible to keep tidy. If you boil over one thing, it's ruined if you don't catch it within a few seconds. When I owned my first home, I purchased low to average appliances that worked much better than these. The space is poorly designed. There were only 2 of us but there was not enough room in the kitchen cupboards and closets. The pool is too small to swim, its most feasible use a kiddie pool. (OTOH, If you have kids, maybe this is great.) HVAC doesn't work right because it fluctuates regardless of settings. It's very difficult to get deliveries-since everything goes to one building, you have to pick up your packages at the convenience of the staff. Parking can be difficult. Noise can get bad at times. Grill is always disgustingly covered in crusted food. Trash odors and liquid in the halls. Just for laughs-if you don't leave behind your used, 2 year old $10 plastic kitchen garbage can (which doesn't even have a swing or step-lid), the charge is $50. Really? (So, when you move in, you might expect to have to use the $10 Walmart-like plastic garbage can that has been used for years by the previous resident.) Hidden fees! If your rent is $1750 for a one bedroom, you must add the $110 cable fee*, $10 sewage fee, $10 water bill, $5 utility processing fee, and the $5 payment fee to simply pay your bill online. I forget what the trash fee was. Of course your electric bill is on top of that. So a $1,750 rent advertised for a one bedroom apartment is actually about $1,900 plus electric. *There is only one cable option, and you are not permitted to purchase internet or cable services on your own. You must pay $110 even if you only use TV or only use internet (and it is Verizon's lowest speed). On the upside, interacting with the maintenance staff was positive, and they were nice and took care of all the problems in a reasonable time. (Added a star because of them.) Another reason we moved is because a brand new complex was just finished being built in this small land area as well as numerous townhouses, so I expect a lot of traffic and parking/congestion issues when that complex is leased. It is already very difficult to get on the main roads at certain times due to the office park employee traffic. All things considered, it's a relatively average place that charges above average rent. I would recommend looking elsewhere. Management: stop building in small spaces, cramming as much as you can in the tiniest area to maximize profits despite being surrounding by vast land. Charge reasonable rates. And please...drop the "luxury" apartment label. read more

In these days and times exceptional service is exceedingly rare. So, when someone gives or shows exceptional service, I always take the time to recognize and give praise to that special person. I would like to recognize Crystal, since she has joined your team the management of your property in Howard County has improved tremendously. She listens to your concerns or input and whatever is in her power to fix or address she does so immediately. I want to take this time to recognize and thank Crystal for her continuous professional attitude and attributes. Thank you, Crystal! read more

Crystal, Diane, Julian and Elizabetta are all such wonderful staff members! I love how this community is conveniently located less than 10 minutes from the mall, the airport and amtrak train station. It's also very close to the highway (I-95 & 1-295). The community is quiet and clean. My neighbors are friendly and there is a real sense of community here. I am happy to have lived here for 3 years now. I also love the stainless steal kitchen appliances. read more

This looks like a really beautiful community and I was looking forward to touring it. However, the leasing agent on-site was not welcoming at all today. In fact, I had a 12:45 pm appointment and she did not honor it. Instead, multiple other people approached the office (all Caucasian) and she served them right away. Although I would hate to think that I was treated this way because I am a person of color, that is exactly what it felt like. I would encourage you not to provide service levels based on anything other than the potential to have a new resident. There is absolutely no reason why a potential resident should be made to feel this way. Prior to buying my previous home, I lived in a Bozzuto property for years without issue. I hope this was an anomaly however, the staff is important to me when it comes to apartment living. That said, I will not be coming back. read more

I have been living at the Azure Oxford Square Apartments for a few months, I pay for a reserved parking space that has been occupied by different vehicles at least 5 to 6 times since i have been here. Why am I paying for a reserved space that i cannot use. Management does nothing about it. I was told previously that they don't even have a towing company contracted. Do something Bozzuto management, post a sign that says will be towed, send out and email to all residents about not occupying reserved spaces or else you will be towed. i also pay for my apartment, so is it ok if someone occupies my apartment too. a monthly parking space isn't cheap. read more

The community is really great ! The amenities are nice, can't wait for the pool to open- it's been pretty to look at all winter.

I have lived in the Oxford Square Community for just over 5 years and have really enjoyed my time living at Azure Oxford Square Apartments. John and Diane are always there when things around the community need fixin. Elisabetta is always available and helpful when I have questions or concerns. read more

I lived here for almost a year......the gym and pool/community areas were great. The service people were also great. The hallways and common areas weren't always the cleanest, however I think that has more to do with the residents not treating it like their own instead of the cleaning people not cleaning I was relocated for work towards the end of my lease. I notified the management with a signed letter from our HR department regarding my relocation. I notified them 45+ days before relocating. I found out(after) moving there was an early termination fee(which was a whole months rent+ utilities). UNBELIEVABLE. Some things in life you cant control, and getting relocated 3 states away for work is one of them. You would think they would 1)mention this 2) 45 days would be more than enough notice. Also, within a week of me moving out, of course it was filled with another tenant. Getting two rents that month must have been nice for Azure! Very unhappy with how this was handled. read more

During the Summer they do not run the a/c in the hallways which are HOT and stink of rotting food and so much weed. If this sounds like a good free high to you, this might be the right place for you. It seems like a faux-luxury complex with high rent but low-rent amenities. For example the dishwashers are so cheap I have resorted to hand washing all my pots and pans and dishes out of necessity to get them reasonably clean. The layout looks good in pictures, but the open plan living area leaves barely enough room to squeeze in essential furniture items. The planes go by very low and noisily, almost touching the roof tops, so if you are on a phone call, or need to zoom for meetings, that could be an issue as well. In the courtyard, kids, teens, and others often are playing and yelling until 1 or 2 in the morning, as well as parties letting out, so if you need to go to bed at a certain hour, that could be a problem too. read more

On the surface, everything seems perfect here. New apartments, friendly leasing agents, beautiful furnishings. Don't be fooled. While everything may look and seem nice at first, after moving in, you'll eventually realize they cut a lot of corners here. 1. The water (which you pay for) takes an unusually long time to heat up. Maintenance says the farther the water source from the water heater, the longer it takes to travel there. Our kitchen sink is less than 10 feet from the water heater, and it takes 2-3 minutes of running water to heat up. Our bathroom takes 3-5 minutes. Running water for that long every time you need hot water causes your water bill to skyrocket. 2. The appliances, while all appearing new and pretty, are all bottom of the line and very basic. The dishwasher doesn't fully wash dishes, the ice maker takes a week to produce enough ice to host a gathering, your clothes come out of the washer dripping wet, and the dryer takes multiple cycles to dry your clothes. Your electricity bill will be higher than normal here thanks to these low quality appliances. 3. The valet trash service, while seeming convenient, fosters not only laziness, but cause hallways to smell like death for several hours every evening. Leaking trash stains hallway carpets, which causes those wonderful smells to linger for the remaining hours of the day. The new management (see 7 below) stopped shampooing these stains. The trash can provided by the valet service lacks a step lid opener, which is a pretty basic feature in even cheap trash cans. 4. This place is wired exclusively for Verizon, so if you were hoping for a choice in cable/internet providers, you are out of luck here. 5. All the delivery companies (FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc) that deliver here are extremely lazy. Instead of delivering your packages to your door or the leasing office, they will either leave it on the ground outside the building's front door or on the floor under the mailboxes. Good luck finding your packages. 6. When you pay more for a luxury apartment, you expect your neighbors to be classy, friendly, and considerate. Instead, the people here regularly smoke marijuana, throw disruptive parties, double park, and block handicap parking for truly disabled tenants. They also walk their dogs without leashes and let them defecate wherever they please without picking up after them. You will hate your neighbors. 7. If you think this will be a great place to live because it is a Bozzuto property, be warned: this is NOT a true Bozzuto community. Verbatim from the letter residents were sent: "As of February 28, 2017, Woodfield at Oxford Square will be assumed by a new ownership group." On March 28, 2017, the name was changed from 'Woodfield' to 'Azure', monthly rental rates for new leasers was dropped by $200-$300, and the fun community events stopped. Bozzuto backed out a year and a half after building this place; that alone should tell you everything you need to know about this complex. TL;DR: Azure is low-income housing, a fact verifiable on Howard County's MIHU Rental website. 8. Other problems that previous reviewers have mentioned should also deter you. High turnover, online rent payments carry extremely heavy fees, leasing agents provide minimal instruction on basics like controlled access operation, and planes from BWI fly extremely low overhead. After taking a tour, you may be completely enchanted by this place, but know that it's all smoke and mirrors. Don't be fooled by all the pretty granite and shiny stainless steel. Go with a well established apartment; new isn't always better. ***IMPORTANT NOTE: I left the same review on their Facebook page; they reported my account as spam, had it disabled, and deleted my review. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMMUNITY.*** read more

Great staff. Great amenities. I love living here. It's convenient to work, Arundel Mills Mall, hiking in Patapsco State Park, and BWI airport. I work 10 min away. It's awesome. Did I mention the staff were great? read more

Let me just say that, I like this place a lot and would recommend it to anyone. The neighborhood is nice and safe, neighbors are nice and the staff is very friendly. Maintenance is always on top of everything and they do routine checks to update their units. The only reason why I am not giving this place a 5 star is for the following reasons. 1. The main building itself is very clean and appealing, when you walk in there , you can tell its been taken care of and you want to live there, BUT the other satellite buildings unfortunately aren't taken care of as well. The building I lived in, the carpet is stained and has been for so long , basically the whole first floor carpet is gross, not to talk about the trash other tenants leave out by the mail room. The walls are scratched from moving in and out and it took them a while to re-paint Next is the trash pickup, when I initially moved in, it was well regulated and it was picked up in a timely manner but now, we put our trash out around 6:30 and it does not get picked up until after 11 or even 12 midnight, I know that because I sleep late and sometimes sleep and it still isn't. Now thats fine except for the fact that, all that trash in a closed area for that long with little ventilation causes the hallways to stink! Sometimes its so bad I want to stay in my apartment. This is by no means to say the place isn't nice or clean but i believe that the other buildings could be taken care of better than they are now. Thank you read more

Current resident, when we first applied and moved in they made it seem like they cared about maintaining a clean, quiet, and respectful environment for residents. In the past two months I have seen trash all over, parties in common spaces that go on past the set quiet hours, paintball damage done to areas on the common amenities, and a few cars have been egged. For the most part it seems like random acts by what I am assuming are kids. The complex is doing what they can but at this point the damage has been done and if they are the children of a resident I doubt this will end soon. read more

A great place to call "home". The entire staff always greets you with a smile, are very helpful to our needs, and are quick to attend to any problems that arise . The grounds and facilities are kept clean every day by friendly courteous workers. The workout rooms are open 24//7 are rarely crowded and the pool area is lovely. The resident events are amazing! The staff does an amazing job hosting them. I would strongly recommend this apartment! read more

Woodfield Oxford Square is an awesome place to live! My apartment has high quality finishes, durable hard floors and is absolutely beautiful ! The leasing/management staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. I love the club room and fitness rooms!! I never want to leave! read more

After looking at many apartments over the past month, i found Oxford Square. Not only is it a beautiful new complex, but the friendliness and professionalism of the leasing team has been outstanding. Every time I call or stop by with additional questions, they take the time to answer any and all questions. I haven't lived in an apartment in more than 15 years but I feel confident that Oxford Square is home based on the superb service I have received. Can't wait to move in!!! Nicole read more

I've been at Woodfield Oxford Square since January and it is truly one of the best apartments I've been at. The decor/set-up of the apartments themselves are quite modern. The management staff and maintenance staff have been very helpful. They have extended hours and are even available on weekends. When there was a really bad snow storm, they made sure that the snow was plowed quickly in the streets, leading up to the apartment and the sidewalks. They even had shovels for us to borrow! If we ever had an issue, they were quick to respond and try and resolve the issue (which have been very few). I love the valet trash pick up, it makes it very convenient to not have to take the trash out ourselves! The amenities are amazing: lounge area, pool table, media center, a "business center" where we can print for free which is a plus, a very large gym with machines/exercises to cover a broad range of fitness levels, and a pool. I was a little disappointed with the size of the pool as I am an avid swimmer, but the large 24-hour gym balances that out. They have a nice outdoor setting equipped with a t.v., a fire pit, grill, corn hole, etc. They have routine maintenance which shows that they really care about their tenants happiness. Ample parking space. I like that the apartment buildings are "locked" unless you have a key; I feel safe living here. Last but not least, they have regular social gatherings which are fun and unique. They have block parties, game nights, paint nights, yoga classes, ice cream socials, etc.! I would definitely recommend living here. read more
