submitted by Binglin C. - |Recommended: YesLove Our Apartment And The People, But It's Flooded Twice — The community is fantastic, people are nice. Our apartment is very spacious and I love it. The laundry room is great, there's always a machine available and working. The view from our apartment is fantastic I love the pool and the gym. They deliver packages to our door.
However, some things make it very frustrating to live in. Our AC unit has malfunctioned multiple times and it's leaked water EVERYWHERE. Even under the floor boards. Carpet has been soaked and ruined, our sound system was soaking wet on the bottom but we managed to catch it quick. Maintanence guys showed up promptly when we called the emergency line and were super nice. But it shouldn't have happened once, let alone three times. And we've only lived here for several months. In addition, the things that were supposed to be done before we moved in, took over a month to get fully done AFTER moving in. We had broken blinds for ages, the mirror had burn marks. It took them a while because we were told everything was on back order. The paint on the bathroom wall was damaged from the removal of the old mirror and the painting still isn't done yet, as of this review. We had to submit a maintanence request and email them several times to remind them. The elevators are horrible, better now but in the beginning it took forever. I timed it once and the elevator took more than 20 minutes to arrive. This is not an issue everyday now but it still happens once in a while and the buttons to call the elevators are finicky.
There has also been a pest problem. I vacuum once or twice a week, never leave food out, and do the dishes everyday so no dirty dishes are ever left in the sink. I also take the trash out very often. But I saw a cockroach the first day of move in into my apartment. And have been seeing them STILL, even after two rounds of the exterminator coming. There's gonna be a floor by floor extermination event and I'm hoping that will take care of the problem.
All that being said, I will continue to live here because I love the location and the space. I don't think you can get a bigger or safer space for the price. The people are also just so lovely.

submitted by Henry H. - |Recommended: YesGreat Apt, In A Great Location, With Great People. — All in all, I've enjoyed living here My only qualms being that some aspects of the construction seem older more easy to give ex. towel racks came loose among a couple other things , but the maintenance is quick to fix things on a very timely schedule. The staff are all super friendly and nice, and the location to JHU Homewood Campus makes this perfect for those working nearby.
submitted by Sharmin H. - |Recommended: YesGreat Place To Live In — Other than some occasional noisy neighbors and slamming doors, it's all good. The building is kinda old, but they try to do a good job with the upkeep. I like my place

submitted by Carey W. - |Recommended: YesLove It Here Nice Apartments With An Incredible View — Have lived here almost 4 years and really enjoy the neighborhood and the building itself
response from property -Thank you Carey, we have loved having you here! Let us know if there is anything else we can do for you!
submitted by Ehsan S. - |Recommended: YesNeat Place, High Value Per Price — Hopkins House has higher value per price comparing to other apartments in the area. Maintenance and staff are very polite and responsible. The overall quality of the apartment is better than similar apartments since this place is newer. The walls are thin and they do not cancel the noise from neighbors but it is a common problem in all apartments.
response from property -Thank you for the great review! We are sorry to hear you've had some trouble with noise, if this is something you'd like to discuss we would be happy to set up an appointment with you. Otherwise thank you for the feedback and let us know if you need anything else!
submitted by Jia H. - |Recommended: YesBuilding Is Old But Good. People Still Smoke Inside — The room is good. The view is good. The staff are nice. Maintenance is fast and good and friendly. But the elevators are quite old and need to renew. If the neighbors are good then you good. Still got smoking smell at 9F almost every night. The hallway air is not breathable at night. The AC vibration through walls from our own unit and from other's unit is quite noisy. During summer time, the big fan of the building next to the pool will be quite noisy 24 7 for the pool side's units. You will need to shut the window if u want a quiet space. But winter is so quiet and so good. If the noisy part is improved, I'll definitely recommend Hopkins house to other people. Smoking part I know the staff already done their best, you could not stop the people want to smoke inside their unit. Too shame they knew this is a non smoking building.
response from property -Thank you for your understanding on a couple of these items, Jia. We appreciate hearing your feedback and hope we can somehow make up the inconveniences of noise. Please contact our office and we would be happy to discuss your concerns with you. Otherwise, thank you for the overall good rating and nice things you had to say about our staff!
submitted by Kevin Y. - |Recommended: YesGood Experience — I have lived in Hopkins House for four years and enjoyed my time there. After my first year, the building went through a large renovation which improved the gym, lobby, and also created a lounge area for residents. Management has tried to be accommodative to residents and actively sponsor social events such was wine painting, bingo, and other games. There are many families who live in the building which makes Hopkins House feel like a community. Management has been responsive to all of my concerns throughout my time here. Yassmin has been a fantastic part of my experience from my initial move in all the way till the end. She has been responsive to my concerns over the years and has always addressed them to the best of her abilities.
response from property -Thank you Kevin, it was great having you as a resident! Good luck to you and thank you for this wonderful review!
