    Good community but noise issues

    I'm enjoying living at Victory Woods - it's full (waitlist), reasonably priced, with nice grounds, monitored parking, bus/shopping trips and plenty of activities (movies, bingo, cards, Wii). Staff are awesome - the office manager helped with my move-in/rent and maintenance is great - but meals aren't provided (some residents cook/sell food) and residents remain independent. My main issue: persistent running/banging and daycare noise from the apartment above; I reported it repeatedly but leasing/office communication has been poor and it hasn't been resolved.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is mixed-to-positive: residents consistently praise the on-the-ground staff, maintenance, grounds and the value for price, while raising concerns mainly about noise disturbance and inconsistent management communication. Many reviewers report that they are enjoying living at Victory Woods and appreciate the independence the community affords. Several operational features — such as scheduled bus and shopping trips, monitored parking, and a range of casual activities — support a comfortable, active lifestyle for residents.

    Staff and management receive largely positive marks from residents who interact with them directly. The office manager is singled out for being helpful during move-in and for assistance with rent, and maintenance staff are described as "awesome." These positive staff interactions appear to be meaningful drivers of resident satisfaction. However, there is a notable counterpoint: multiple reports describe an unresponsive leasing office and poor communication, with repeated attempts to contact staff going unanswered and times when no staff are available. This inconsistency in responsiveness is a significant theme and appears to be an important pain point for some residents.

    Facilities, services and programming are functional and valued but limited in certain areas. The grounds are described as nice and the property offers monitored parking and transportation for shopping trips. Activities are available — movies, bingo, card games and Wii are mentioned — but participation varies, so the social life may depend on individual engagement and resident interest. A key limitation is that the facility itself does not provide formal meals; instead, some residents cook and sell food to others. While this resident-led arrangement provides meal options, it is not the same as on-site dining services and may be a factor for those seeking institutional meal provision.

    Noise and neighbor-related issues stand out as the most serious negative theme. Specific complaints reference running and banging coming from the apartment above, apparently associated with grandchildren or daycare activity. Reviewers report that the noise continues even after being reported to management; in at least one case a resident moved to another senior community specifically to get away from noisy children. This suggests the community may have challenges enforcing quiet hours or addressing inter-resident disruptions to everyone’s satisfaction.

    Other signals from the reviews include reasonable pricing and high demand: the property is reportedly at full occupancy with a waitlist, which indicates it appeals to a number of prospective residents despite the listed drawbacks. Conflicts, when they occur, are said to usually be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction, indicating that dispute resolution is sometimes effective even if initial communication can be lacking. In summary, Victory Woods appears to offer a supportive, value-oriented living environment with strong on-site maintenance and a helpful move-in experience, but prospective residents should weigh the lack of formal meal services, potential noise issues, and reported lapses in leasing office responsiveness when deciding if it is the right fit.

    About Victory Woods

    Victory Woods sits in Lexington Park, MD, offering affordable senior apartments for people age 62 and up, and folks can bring small pets up to 35 pounds, which is nice if you like cats or dogs because not everyone wants to live somewhere that won't let you have a pet, and the community has one and two-bedroom apartments with different floor plans, some accessible for wheelchairs, with features like walk-in closets, wall-to-wall carpeting, and big kitchens with microwaves, breakfast bars, and pantry closets, so you get plenty of space for your stuff and can cook like you would at home. Some units are built to be handicap accessible - you'll find things like grab bars, emergency pull cords, and smoke detectors installed for extra safety, and ground floor apartments make things easier if it's hard to do stairs, which a lot of folks care about as they get older, and you can choose apartments like Oxford Ct, Gloucester Ct, or Rue Purchase Road, because people do like to have choices or maybe find one that suits them better, and there's enough room in some of those two-bedroom, one and a half bath units with about 1,000 square feet.

    Residents can use a fitness center if they want to do some exercise or maybe enjoy walking paths around the community, and there's a theater room for watching movies, a fireplace lounge for gatherings or just sitting by the fire if you like it quiet, and a business center or library for reading or computer work, along with a community room with a kitchen for activities, an outdoor patio, and an indoor sunroom, so there's always somewhere to sit or visit with friends, and you might see activities like cards, puzzles, internet browsing, or even devotional programs. Social and cultural events get organized to help neighbors meet each other, and staff are available to answer questions or help if you need it, plus transportation is available for a fee and there's parking, although the area is mostly car-dependent, so you'll likely want a car or family nearby. Victory Woods offers independent living, assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's, respite stays, and some nursing and home care services, with healthcare staff handling medication or daily help, so whether someone needs more support or prefers to live independently, there's a range of help, which is practical because many folks' needs can change.

    Laundry rooms are on-site, there's package receiving, professional management, and the apartments have full kitchens and bathtubs in the rooms, so you don't have to leave home for little things, and the place sits close to the Lexington Village shopping center so getting groceries or grabbing a meal out isn't hard, plus you've got water views and some spots to enjoy outside nearby, and schools like Greenview Knolls Elementary, Green Holly Elementary, and Esperanza Middle School are close, which sometimes matters for grandkids or family visits. The environment is welcoming and designed for comfort, aiming to keep seniors active, social, and independent as long as possible, with chances to try different activities or just relax if that's more your style, and caregivers are encouraged to stay involved, making residents feel a sense of belonging, so folks can make it their home in whatever way suits them best.
