DO NOT MOVE HERE: I…read moream currently a tenant (RENT = $2250/MO for 1 BR) at Avalon Laurel and there are some really important things that you wont read in the reviews that you need to know before moving to this place. 1. Don't move here if you enjoy speaking on the cell phone: The signal for cell phones here is very weak in this area, and there are no current plans to fix the issue. You see people walking around the complex talking on the phone to maintain their signal and your cell service will be almost non-existant in your home, guaranteed. 2. Don't move here if you like to choose your own internet, or if you enjoy paying less than $130.00 per month for internet: Avalon Laurel 'partners' with Verizon Fios and forces you to get internet from them at a locked-in price of $130.00 per month. This expensive internet doesn't have a 24-hour customer service line, and it takes a week for a technician to come out to establish service. This coupled with a poor cellphone signal means that your first week at Avalon Laurel you will be totally cut off from the internet and phone use, essentially making your lifestyle the equivalent of living back in 1990. 3. Don't live here if you like having a guest: At Avalon Laurel, the guest policy is very anti-guest. Firstly, your guest must get a 'guest pass' or they can be towed from guest parking. Having a guest stay for a week? You will need to go to the front office and try to get multiple guest passes as they expire every three days. There is virtually no free and non-patrolled parking in the area so your will be towed. Secondly, if having a guest stay over for more than two weeks, then they need to leave after two weeks or they will be considered an 'Unauthorized Tenant', and must be on the lease. If you choose to put them on the lease, even though you already have the apartment, they will put you and the new tenant through another round of credit checks even though you have established your ability to be able to pay the lease in the application. Got an infirm grandmother who wants to stay at your apartment for a few months? Well, she had better have good credit. Have a kid in college who needs to stay with you over the summer? UNAUTHORIZED TENANT. I have been warned about my name being placed on some 'list' or something. The trash is located in one spot on the site. If you enjoy schlepping your trash for two or three blocks on site, or putting the dirty trash bags in your car, then this is the place for you.

I honestly can't express how happy we are to have found the Enclave at Emerson. We have enjoyed…read moreevery aspect about living here in this community. I am very particular about many things and let me say they check the box in everything when it comes to an ideal community..probably even better than ideal. Let me start with the office staff--Luther, Daryl and Josh are some of the most genuine people. They are very good at addressing any questions or requests I have in prompt manner. The property manager, Luther Crawford, really lives up to all of the amazing reviews-- I'm so impressed with how well he runs this community and goes above and beyond. Always with a smile on his face asking how you or your family are doing...he isn't just asking to sound nice, he truly means it! He really cares about his residents and it shows! He has even brought packages right to my doorstep for me!! The maintenance crew, Daryl and Josh, are very friendly and courteous when coming into my apartment for any maintenance & always care to make sure we are comfortable in our home at all times. They respond to maintenance requests practically immediately and always do an exceptional job! Next, the community..anyone I have encountered here is so friendly and easy to spark up a conversation with. It makes me super thankful to live in a place full of so many warm personalities! Additionally, there are beautiful amenities, which include a wonderful swimming pool (complete with a kiddie pool area for the little ones), a beautiful gym and a clubhouse that holds frequent events for families! Bottom line, I have lived in many apartments, but Luther and his staff go above and beyond to set themselves apart from all the rest. They know just how to care for their residents all while maintaining an extraordinary amount of professionalism & ensuring all move in & administrative processes go as smooth as possible. I'm so happy we chose to move into this community. I hope this review is a reason for you to want to save your time looking anywhere else. You won't regret choosing to live here. Quite frankly, you'll never want to leave!

Unfortunately, everything else has been a terrible experience due to property management. The first red flag came two days before move-in, when we were suddenly told our apartment wouldn't be ready for another two weeks. After almost a year with no issues, things got worse when a roach infestation began due to overcrowded apartments nearby. Instead of handling it promptly, management delayed inspections and extermination over and over, forcing residents to live with pests. On top of that, despite months of documented requests, no lease renewal or transfer options were ever provided as my lease end date approached. The manager avoids calls, emails, and any direct contact, showing no accountability for residents' concerns. This community could be fine if not for management's negligence. The poor communication, failure to address habitability, and disregard for residents make it impossible to recommend.

I just moved here a couple days ago. I was definitely looking for a better apartment situation…read morebecause I was EXTREMELY unhappy with where l was. I will update with more details later, but for now, suffice it to say...our leasing agent (Chantel) and the manager (Ashley) were both very helpful and personable. We're now on a first name basis with the maintenance technician, though with a name like Pharoah, how could you not remember. He has also been very personable and responsive... We already feel more welcome in 2 days than I felt at my old place in over 2 years. The only reason for the 4 star review is for the hot water heater not being the greatest and the steps up to garden apartment landing are VERY steep and slightly sloped so you have to be really careful if you're carrying a bunch of stuff or you have any stability/clumsiness issues. Overall though, I'm thrilled to be here!

We have lived here for seventeen months. In the beginning everything was good. When we first moved…read morein we felt like some in the Leasing Office made living here fun. Danielle (who is no longer here) made us feel really welcomed here, and Chris was very pleasant and welcoming as well. Now, management has changed and fun living and feeling welcomed here is no longer a feeling for us. The amenities here are supposed to be a part of living and paying for a luxury apartment, but here that isn't the case anymore. We used the Community Room for a friendly and fun gathering for the holiday. We were given permission to use the room. After using the room we were first charged $1,000. After retaining an attorney, he advised us that there is nothing in our lease stating that they can charge us for using the room. After receiving the letter from our attorney Christy and Jasimon changed the $1,000 to $500. Which we haven't paid, because it's not valid or fair. I feel like we were targeted for them to get extra money from us for the activities that they have here. People use that room all the time, even the night before we did and they were not charged. A fact that I know! It seems like since management changed, everything has changed for the worst. Why live in a luxury apartment if you can't utilize the amenities that you're paying for? I have had two packages stolen that has still not showed up. Thankfully, the two companies resent my orders to me. This week has been the fourth or fifth time that we had to put in a work order for the microwave. It keeps cutting out, and tripping the breaker. The last time we smelled smoke. I have asked the last maintenance guy to put in an order for a new microwave. We'll see what happens or how long this will take. I pray that living here gets better and back to fun the way it used to be.

I have lived here for three years and after JAG bought the building it has gotten so much worse…read more The leasing office never seems to work except for one lady, Jay. If she's not working everyone is goofing off or just laughing in the one girls office. I used to call and get a message to people but not any more. I submitted a service request three weeks ago about my faucet not working in the sink. Called about it. Said it'd be fixed by the end of the week. That was last Friday. Still broken. In short they do not have the same standards as before and it starts in that office. I don't know if it's poor management or what but they need to rethink who they hire and how they work. They are nice. I will say that. But really just goofing off in suits most days. My lease isn't over until December but I am not renewing. Not here.

I lived at The Vine for a total of four years and moved out in August 2025. During that time, it…read moregenuinely felt like home. I initially moved in during a period of personal transition, and The Vine provided stability, comfort, and a strong sense of community. I moved out not because of any dissatisfaction, but simply because it was time for the next chapter and to move into a house. One of the defining strengths of The Vine is the staff. The building is consistently clean and well maintained, thanks in large part to Sammy and his wife in the janitorial department, who are kind, attentive, and always willing to help. Nick and Jaycee in the management office are professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Cynthia deserves special recognition. She truly elevates the experience of living here. Her warm, welcoming presence makes a real difference; she is consistently courteous, friendly, and genuinely makes residents feel at home. In my view, she is the heart of the building, and The Vine would not feel the same without her. The building itself has a polished, almost hotel like feel. Amenities include a pool, a 24 hour gym, dedicated meeting rooms, and a resident activity space with a pool table and bar. There are multiple outdoor kitchens that are great to use when the weather is nice. A trail directly behind the building leads to Maple Lawn, and the location offers very convenient access to Routes 29 and 32, with easy connections to I 95. Community building is clearly a priority here. The Vine regularly hosts resident events such as resident nights, game nights, Halloween and Christmas parties, National Donut Day celebrations, and more. They also bring food trucks on a routine basis, which makes it easy to grab something different on a weeknight without leaving the building. As a small but meaningful detail, the building almost always smells great, which adds to the overall experience. Parking is another highlight. The garage has five levels, and as an electric vehicle owner, I appreciated the availability of eight EV chargers. Over the years, the number of electric vehicles in the building increased significantly, and residents were consistently respectful about communicating and sharing access. That cooperative dynamic reflects the broader sense of community. The apartments offer a range of layouts, from smaller units to three bedroom options. I lived in a three bedroom apartment that was just over 1,400 square feet, which felt like a comfortable and reasonable amount of space for me and my two kids. What stood out most over the four years I lived here was the diversity of residents. The community includes young professionals, retirees, small families, and people and families in the early stages of building their lives, as well as others in different transitions. That mix contributes to a welcoming, inclusive environment. Overall, The Vine is a well run community where people look out for one another and where the staff makes a genuine effort to create a warm, supportive place to live. It served an important role in my life, and I look back on my time there very positively.

Upon moving in the apartment was extremely filthy and smelly, you could tell it was not properly maintained or cleaned before they setup the move in for him. Within weeks of moving in both the refrigerator and microwave in his unit stopped working randomly. After he submitted numerous maintenance requests, it still took them ONE whole month before they finally repaired it. He also complained and submitted a maintenance request over two weeks ago for someone to replace his air filter in his unit and till this day the air filter has not been replaced. I recently came to visit and I can confidently say that the living conditions at Verde are unbearable and unpleasant. The overall quality of the building is horrible. The floor tiles in his bathrooms are misaligned and have spaces in between them that can cause an injury if you step on it barefoot, the hallways have a foul odor and if you still happen to come for a visit you will be met with numerous "F U" signs that people have carved into the wall.

Important Message: Please Read Dear Residents,…read more Our team wanted to take a little time to make you aware of car theft that has been occurring in abundance in the Laurel area as of recently. Unfortunately, this theft has directly impacted our community with Hyundai's and Kia's having been vandalized or stolen from The Emerson. We are working closely with The Laurel Police Department and they are fully aware of the theft and have advised our team that this theft has been happening throughout the DMV. We are extremely concerned about this situation and will continue actively working with the Laurel Police, detectives and officers to aid in any way possible to prevent this from happening in the future. We encourage you to advise authorities if you have any information regarding these incidents. In addition, we have been advised that there is a recent Tiktok challenge providing step by step instructions on how to steal these vehicle models. Per Laurel Police, it is teenagers or young adults that appear to be breaking into the vehicles. The Laurel Police Department is also advising that you can purchase a pedal or wheel lock which can deter thieves from steeling the vehicle. Laurel Police has actively increased their security throughout the community and the Laurel area. Our team is doing the same and has increased the hours of private security at the community. In addition, effective immediately, we will be shutting down all of our gates throughout the day for entry. All residents will need to enter the garage using the Fourth (4th) street entrance until further notice. All gates will be accessible to exit the garage. At this time, we would like to remind everyone to always be aware of your surroundings. Please remember that no one can be responsible for your safety or your personal belongings. This responsibility rests solely on each individual and the law enforcement agencies. We only remind you of this so that you are always aware of your responsibility to protect yourself. We do not provide law enforcement and we cannot guarantee the security at the property or your personal safety. You should not count on gates, security devices or courtesy patrol to completely prevent crime. While they may be a deterrent, gates or other security devices that may be installed on the property may be left open or unlocked for extended periods of time, (either by us or by other residents), and courtesy patrol services could be changed or even discontinued at the property without notice to you. Below are some general guidelines that are recommended for your day to day. Be PROACTIVE, please call 911 immediately should you see ANY suspicious activities or individuals. After you have done this, please then contact the Emerson at Cherry Lane Leasing Office at (301) 725-0009 to report to a staff member or the answering machine/service what you have reported to the police. Report any exterior common area doors, which are propped open or that do not properly close and lock, as well as any light outages to the leasing office. Always lock your car, activate any alarms and remove all valuables and any keys or remote openers. We want to affirm that our primary mission, above all else, is to provide our residents with the best living environment possible.

I have been holding off on writing this review until after I moved out because I wanted to be as…read morefair and objective as possible. After living at Emerson at Cherry Lane for almost three years, I can honestly say this was one of the worst apartment experiences I've ever had. For the amount they charge in rent, the condition of this property is completely unacceptable. Throughout my time here, I dealt with: * Mice and roaches. * Weevils in my kitchen cabinets, which required an exterminator. Ironically, residents pay a pest control fee, but extermination services were only available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. * Trash, leftover food, and old furniture constantly sitting in the hallways. * Dog urine and feces in the hallways and walkways that would often sit for days without being cleaned. * A water leak in my apartment that caused damage to the molding and paint. Although the leak was addressed, the cosmetic damage was never repaired. * Teenagers frequently hanging out inside the stairwells smoking, causing the smell to travel throughout the building. Since I lived next to the stairwell, I often had to ask them myself to stop because management was nowhere to be found. * Broken exterior doors that compromised building security. In nearly three years of living here, the side entrance was rarely secured properly. * Homeless individuals sleeping in the hallways and stairwells. One morning around 5:00 a.m., I walked in and found someone sleeping directly in front of the elevator. * Broken glass left in common areas over weekends because the cleaning crew only works during the week, meaning messes often sat until Monday. * An elevator that was out of service multiple times, with no freight elevator available for moving furniture or large items. * Numerous nights where police responded to domestic disputes, waking residents in the middle of the night. * Guest parking fees that are outrageous, while numerous vehicles appeared to remain parked on the property for extended periods without moving. * My own vehicle was towed while I was waiting for my permanent license plates and using a visitor's pass. It cost me $175 to retrieve it, and my boyfriend waited over two hours at the tow lot because no one was available at the front desk. * Package theft was a recurring issue. The mailroom was constantly overcrowded because lockers weren't cleared promptly, and there were even local news reports about people repeatedly stealing packages from the property. * Office management was rarely friendly or welcoming, and interactions often felt like an inconvenience. Also don't forget the trash bags in the hallway left out after pickup. Makes the hallway smell like sh*t, and funk. Perhaps the most frustrating part was that I was an ideal tenant. I paid my rent on time every single month, never had complaints against me, and took care of my apartment. Yet every lease renewal came with another rent increase--even when similar units were advertised online for less than what I was being offered. This property has so much potential, but the lack of maintenance, poor security, cleanliness issues, and overall management make it impossible for me to recommend it. I genuinely could not wait for my lease to end. Moving out was a huge relief. If you're considering Emerson at Cherry Lane, I strongly encourage you to tour carefully, ask current residents about their experiences, and read reviews before signing a lease. In my experience, the rent simply does not reflect the quality of living here. Save yourself the stress and look elsewhere. I literally wish I could give this place ZERO stars. ****PHOTOS ATTACHED ON GOOGLE REVIEWS****
