    Caring staff, activities; safety concerns

    I liked the wonderful, caring staff, the many activities (bingo, Wii bowling, monthly band), the pantry with free food, and a roomy, very clean one-bedroom - but the office is often unstaffed, management is hard to reach, maintenance sometimes doesn't return calls, trash rooms go unemptied, and there have been safety incidents and police involvement. Add a single elevator, high rent, and an unprofessional application process, and it isn't a fit for my needs.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is mixed, with a clear split between positive impressions of staff, cleanliness, apartment size, and activities and significant concerns about management responsiveness, safety, and operational consistency. Many reviewers praise the physical aspects of the community — they describe the building as secure and very clean, and they highlight roomy one‑bedroom apartments. Social and recreational programming receives repeated positive mention: bingo twice a week, Wii bowling, a monthly country band, and a generally active calendar that several residents say makes for “lots to do and see.” A pantry with free food and the ability for residents to cook their own meals are noted as conveniences that some residents value.

    Staffing and day‑to‑day care show conflicting reports. Several reviews call out wonderful, caring staff, a good porter, and an excellent maintenance person. One or more reviewers specifically describe an efficient manager and good management, while others report an unstaffed office, lack of management contact, and maintenance not returning calls. This split suggests inconsistent service levels that could be due to staffing variability, shifts, or timing differences in when reviewers experienced the community. Where staff are present and responsive, residents report positive interactions and would recommend the facility; where staff are absent or unresponsive, frustration and dissatisfaction follow.

    Facilities and maintenance are likewise described in positive and negative terms. The property is frequently called very clean, yet there are several operational complaints such as trash rooms not being emptied and maintenance requests not being returned. The building layout includes a single elevator, which some reviewers imply could be an accessibility or convenience issue for residents, especially during busy periods or when the elevator is out of service. While one review praises an “excellent maintenance man,” other reviews note maintenance responsiveness problems — again indicating inconsistency.

    Safety and community composition are notable concerns for some reviewers. Although the community is called “secure” by multiple people, other reviewers report safety worries tied to the presence of non‑senior residents and even mention police involvement. These are serious red flags that potential residents should investigate further: clarify security measures, community screening policies, and how incidents are handled. Perceptions of safety appear to vary substantially between reviewers.

    Dining and daily living are characterized by resident autonomy and convenience items. The pantry with free food is a positive feature, and several reviewers appreciate that residents have the option to cook their own meals rather than rely solely on institutional dining. That said, there is no detailed feedback about a central dining program in these summaries, so the independent dining arrangement seems to be the dominant model described.

    Cost and value are a clear tradeoff. High rent is repeatedly cited, which some potential residents feel is not always matched by consistent management responsiveness or maintenance reliability. However, those who value apartment size, cleanliness, active programming, and caring staff sometimes feel the expense is justified. Prospective residents should weigh the rental cost against the consistency of services they require.

    Administrative and application processes are another area of concern. Reviews mention an unprofessional application process and residents feeling disregarded. Combined with reports of an unstaffed office and limited management contact, these points suggest that the leasing and ongoing resident relations functions may be unevenly managed.

    In summary, Park View At Miramar Landing appears to offer strong positives in building cleanliness, apartment size, on‑site activities, and several caring staff members, which lead some residents to enthusiastically recommend the community. However, the facility also shows troubling inconsistencies — especially around management availability, maintenance follow‑through, trash removal, safety incidents involving non‑senior residents, and an unprofessional application experience. These mixed signals mean the community may be a very good fit for some seniors who prioritize space, activities, and an independent dining approach, but a poorer fit for those who need consistently responsive management, frequent maintenance support, or who are sensitive to safety concerns. Prospective residents should tour the property multiple times, ask specific questions about staffing patterns, incident response, security measures, elevator reliability, trash/housekeeping schedules, and get details on fees and rent to judge whether the community’s strengths align with their priorities.

    About Park View At Miramar Landing

    Park View At Miramar Landing has five floorplans made for people aged 62 and up, so seniors can find one- or two-bedroom apartments with full kitchens, dishwashers, garbage disposals, electric stovetops, large closets, and emergency pull cords, and each home also comes with air conditioning and the heating can be controlled in each apartment, plus rooms have bathtubs and are wheelchair and handicap accessible, and the whole building is smoke-free, with rules against smoking in both private and public areas inside. Residents get to use the laundry facility onsite, a business center, high-speed Internet at no extra cost, a fitness center, and there's also a computer center, a billiard room that guests can enjoy, and a library for those who like to read, all inside a secure building with controlled access and off-street parking available for tenants and their visitors, and there's a big community porch with rocking chairs for relaxing out front so folks can watch people go by or just sit outside. The building has four stories and sits across from a green field with a farmhouse, and you'll find it a few miles out from Baltimore, near golf courses, an elementary school, and not far from marshes and the Gunpowder River, which means there's nice outdoor trails close by for simple hikes or just to take in nature. Park View At Miramar Landing says it provides services like independent living, assisted living, memory care, and home care, with aides who are trained to help as needed, but there are no on-site assisted living or extra senior care services provided right in the building. Residents can have cats or dogs if they meet the rules and pet-friendly options are set up for independent living apartments only, and the place even lets you have both if you want, as long as you follow the community guidelines. There's always an emergency call system working around the clock in every unit, and the maintenance staff is available both day and night if problems come up, and seniors can use the building's recycling services, get rides on the complimentary transportation for errands or doctor visits, and join a community where nutritious meals are planned and prepared by chefs. The leasing office is open during the week from 10 AM to 3 PM except on holidays, and people can come in for tours. Apartments have big, bright windows that let in lots of light, and since all units are spacious, seniors have room to move and store things. Monthly rent averages around $357, and while folks can choose the floorplan that works best for them, they always get a home that's built for comfort and meets the day-to-day needs that come with getting older, along with neighbors who also want a safe, special place to call home.
