Realistic

The apartment is furnished, the galley kitchen is adequate and the floors are sturdy with sound that rarely carries. Overall spacious and easy to make my own with couch covers and some art on the walls. Nothing is super tech advanced—but there are tap cards required to get in the property. Cannot beat the proximity to the law school. Parking at the Baltimore Grand is also very convenient. Free laundry is nice as well.

Overall—it’s university housing. Not amazing but not bad at all. The staff/on site management is delightful as well.

Great location for me

I enjoy living here! It is close to work and school. I get free printing which is really really nice. A lot of my friends live here too at the University Suites at Fayette Square so it is nice to have them all close by to me. We get to hang out a lot.

Modern apartment, close to UM campus

Fayette Square is the closest modernized housing on University of Maryland Baltimore campus. All common spaces - study rooms, fitness center, lounge at the top-floor, and laundry rooms - were decent-sized and maintained well. Free beverage for residents but sometimes run out and not replenished so fast. Front desk and gated entrance are pluses since the overall safety in the neighborhood isn't so great. Facilities are in good condition, but the higher-than-average rent is the major draw-back.

Great Living Experience

Great experience living in this apartment complex. The only thing I have a problem with is the lack of lighting into the apartment being on a lower level. However, the housing staff has been nothing but helpful and prompt! I would definitely recommend this building to incoming students.

Fayette square

Probably the safest living arrangement for UMB. Pretty expensive but given convenience and safety could be worth it depending on personal preference. Pet friendly. A block from the hospital and graduate programs. Nice place to start first year to settle into grad or work life.

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.
