I like living here as a student

The apartment is nice. Gave it a lower rating because you are in an iffy area, however no one really bothers you. And sometimes the hallways smells like other people’s apartments. The front staff is nice and the maintenance team responds quickly. There’s parking and it’s about a 10 minute walk to campus. There is a shuttle stop right outside the building.

Park Charles

I really enjoy my space here. It is very safe and a lot of students are in the building. They just opened up Street Market and Cafe right underneath the building, which is perfect. There are a lot of restaurants and bars nearby. My only complaint is that it is located right on the verge of West Baltimore. If you walk straight down to Inner Harbor, then it is perfectly fine. If you walk north towards Lexington Market, then you are in complete different environment.

Park Charles- great place to live

Our 2 bedroom apt was ideal for us! great management- very responsive and always ready to help. The apartment itself was spacious, didn't have luxury finishes but worked for us. The location was fantastic and we have a lovely park view which we love! Reasonable rent especially for the space. Parking lot is underground- has a weird lay out- have to pay separately- $160/car which I thought was a bit much. Overall, love the place and loved the people managing it!

Good management, but high increases in rent

Park Charles hides in its quiet triangle between Charles and Liberty streets but at the same time remains highly accessible to what downtown Baltimore has to offer. The building management is average by apartment complex standards. Prompt package receipt notice and time-efficient work orders delivery. The staff is in general friendly. However, the annual rent increase was high in the area and non-negotiable. Also, at least two major crime happened in the building, and residents were never told with an explanation.

Excellent mangement & Great place to live

Fantastic staff, nice location, and well maintained building. The amenities are pretty good too. Could do with updated appliances, etc, but very good for the price and location.

Parking is an issue in that it is expensive, and availability is not great (you always find parking, but it is tight at times because of the reserved spots).

Mount Vernon has restaurants, bars, shops, and multiple grassy areas near the monument. It's a great place to walk around. It's a very communal space. Nearby schools are UB, UMD, MICA, and JHU Peabody. Bus transit near the monument. The Walters Art Museum is very close by. UB is about a 15 minute walk and 5 minute drive from 611 Park.
Area is nearby Mount Vernon, which is very charming. Good restaurants, nice walking area. If you are into night life, however, this apartment may not be for you. The area nearby the building is very quiet at night.
Great place to visit museums, restaurants, and historical monuments. Not too far from the law school, and the UMB Shuttle can get you to school in about 10 minutes
There isn’t too much near by in comparison to other locations in Baltimore, but it is in the middle of the city so it is easy to get places. There isn’t a grocery store nearby, which is probably the biggest con.
UMd Police presence is fairly high, so the area feels reasonably safe. Fairly well lit, and fairly heavily traveled given its location with UB and UMd.
Have only been offered crack once in two years.
This area of Baltimore is not necessarily super busy. The nightlife and restaurant scene is abysmal in this spot, but there are several, easy ways to get into Federal Hill or Fell's Point.

Additionally, this area is not known to be a super safe area of Baltimore, but since we are located so close to the school, there is constant security around. I have never felt unsafe walking to and from school and my apartment.
On the very south edge of Mt Vernon. Pretty quiet, some good restaurants/a few bars around. Easy to casually go out, or travel a bit for more aggressive nightlife. Less safe area about 1 block south, but very safe north.
Good bar/restaurant scene, right next to the train/bus station. Some crime but can't help that.
