The Bowen

For the most part, I enjoyed my stay at Harmony Place. The grounds were always well-​maintained, the place seemed secure, and the neighbors were great, for the most part. It was the type of place I wanted to live, should I ever had to live anywhere «short term». That was until about one month and a half ago. I’m not sure where these neighbors come from, but «lawd»… I can hear the baby crying (screaming for 20 minutes straight or more) full-​blast at 4:00AM, at night it sounds as if they are tap-​dancing on the adjacent wall, and a whole host of other annoying things. Some may say, «what do you expect, it’s an apartment.»? I totally disagree, this was far beyond what would be acceptable. Management’s handling of the matter was eventually satisfying as I was able to move out and cut my least short, but it is a horrible inconvenience nonetheless. At any rate, this is a pretty nice place to stay… just don’t move anywhere near #428.

I’ve been a resident here since August 2014 and have definitely seen improvement. Outdoor trash is removed promptly, I never wait more than 2 days for service requests to be completed, the staff is friendly and competent. There has never been a rat or flea issue so I’m not sure what happened with the other tenant.
It’s a bit pricey but it’s worth it. My vest friend has a luxury apt in Canton. We pay the same amount per month and he says I get so much more than he does. My apt is larger and the perks… lets just say he’s never heard of valet trash pick up. They actually have to walk their trash to the chute and I just put my trash receptacle outside the door. Everyone who visits me LOVES my place. Every experience is different, my experience with Bozzuto Mngmt and Harmony place is nothing short of wonderful.

Can i give no stars?
Okay first off i moved out over five months ago and have yet to receive my security deposit. I have called three times and it is allegedly in the mail.
Also it is insanely overpriced for the area and they charge you for everything!

Run away quickly. The staff is completely unorganized and the follow through with any task is obsolete.
Our window looks out to a building so we have next to no light that comes into our living room. The only natural light we have is from the sliding door in our bedroom that looks right out to everyone who walks by.
The trash is moved every single day (holidays included) so we are woken up that that every morning. We were told that it was only Tuesday and Thursday but people move the large metal trash cans every single day.
The process for maintenance at this complex is to notify the staff who then submits a ticket. Then, after the ticket is issued they have 48 hours to repair. In our experience, it has taken much longer to get any minor job done.
This apartment complex should be ashamed to charge residents the amount of money that they do. For 1 br 1 bath we pay $ 1900 rent and they charge you $ 75 for a second car to park in the garage. Most people do not want to pay the $ 75 so they park lining down the street so you cannot see anything pulling out into the road. Its evident that this building was built cheaply and quickly. When we moved in we were only the second residents in a newly refurbished apartment and many drawers do not close correctly, outlets are cheap, the finish on our cabinets is not complete nor was the paint on the bathroom door frames. Admittedly the amenities are very nice but they are not worth the premium price tag. Hardly anyone takes full advantage of the amenities and though we thought that we would, we usually just stay in our apartment like everyone else.
There is a multi-​level garage for resident parking but they only allow for 1 car per apartment. So, if you have 2 people who live in the apartment they charge an additional $ 75 a month for an extra car. This causes residents to park in the streets which obstructs the view of oncoming traffic.
It appears this complex has had high turn in staff which causes confusion.
Since the pricing for the community is high, we assumed that it would draw a good crowd of respectful and quiet people and families. Residents litter constantly both in the garage and in the main areas of the building. The trash room was so misused that the management had to post a formal letter stating that people were to face eviction if trash was left in the room instead of putting it down the shoot.
This place is a joke and I am embarrassed to say that I was fooled into paying the outrageous price to live here. As soon as my lease is out, I am running as far as I can from Harmony Place Apartments and the Buzzuto communities.
If there is anything I can do to help anyone who reads this review, please know that this community is NOT luxury and the pricing is outrageous in comparison to other communities in the area. There is absolutely no reason to pay anywhere form $ 1800 to over $ 2000 for 1br 1 ba in the Bowie area. Do not be wooed by the show apartment; they are beautiful from the first look but no where near priced correctly.

I have been living here since September 2014 and I have to say I truly enjoy this place. I love my apartment. It has everything that you see on there website and photos. Every feature is standard. I also love the amenities onsite. Management does a good job of maintaining the property. The neighbors also seem to take pride in there environment. If you are looking for a place to move to a beautiful luxury apartment home in Bowie, then this is the right place for you.

This place is a shame and a scam. Its gnat, flee and mouse infested, noisy and a far cry from luxury. I’ve been living here since the first of June, I still don’t have a mail box and it’s the middle of September. Don’t be wowed by the amenities and that they «say» the offer BC it’s fake. This building was so cheaply made i can hear a phone ring in the apartment above me. It’s so clear my husband thought it was his phone. This is ridiculous. Telling folks its sound proof, it’s a 24 hr Concierge, a yoga instructor and a bunch of other lies!!! Don’t move here it’s not even handicap accessible but they have handicapped living here and they said «they are in the process of making it handicap accessible». Which is a lie. Everything is about $$$ here not your wellbeing. I’d rather live with my mama then live here. DO NOT MOVE HERE JUST DRIVE PAST IT!!!
