Juniper

I was completely overwhelmed searching for my first apartment. Leon was my leasing agent, he was absolutely wonderful to work with. I have lived at Juniper for six months. I am very happy with my decision. The staff at the front desk are friendly and helpful. The maintenance team is prompt with resolving work requests. My neighbors are quiet and respectful. The property is clean and the amenities are well kept. I would recommend Juniper to my close friends and friendly if they were looking to move to the area.

The complex is gorgeous, clean, and wonderful amenities. Leon has been the most helpful! From waiting in the lobby to welcome us in on our tour, to being super personable and quick response times in our application process, he sure helped us make a decision on our apartment hunt :)

This is more than luxury living..this is a place where neighbors come out and break bread. The staff is warm and friendly and answer the phone on the first ring. If your unit needs repair someone is at your door, smile on faces and tools in hand. However the cherry on top is our wonderful concierge Dion the glue that holds this place together. the I WISH I could stay forever.

Recently moved from the building. My experience was so/so. My 600 and something-sq. ft apartment had a base rent of $1980, which is quite pricey. Also, living in a mixed use building has its challenges- think crowding, traffic, etc. Fire alarms set off in the connected businesses would set it off for the entire building. Fire alarms went off in the building pretty often too. Overall, the staff was responsive and helpful. I definitely have to shout out Dionne- she held the concierge desk down!

Very Responsive, I was looking to lease here and one of the leasing agents Leon was very helpful answering any questions I had about the complex and my lease options. He even went out of his way to send a video of a virtual tour to a unit I was interested in. If you're looking for a place that has great communication and doesn't leave you in the dark/waiting Juniper is for you.

Yesterday I went to the temporary leasing office and I met with Jessica and Michael. Both of them were super helpful and I left feeling very confident about putting in my application. So much so that I went home and paid my deposit as well. This morning I woke up feeling like I wasn’t sure if I was getting everything that I really needed out of my new apartment home, so I decided that I was going to go back to the temporary leasing office to speak to someone and see if I can make some sense out of my (extensive “wish list“. when I arrive today, Cat and Michael were on site. They spent almost 2 hours with me helping me understand the floor plans, layout options, locations of the units that are available, and ensuring that my final selection was still available. Not once did either of them make me feel like I was taking too long or even make me feel like my desires or needs were unrealistic. They helped put a lot of things in perspective for me and at the end of it all, I was able to find the unit that I feel more confident that will definitely suit my needs. They were all amazing, had positive attitudes, were very accommodating, and are genuinely as excited for the property to open as the future residents are. I can tell this Community is going to be fun and collaborative. It seems like they haven’t left anything out. While this property is not even open yet, I feel good about the staff that is going to be here at Juniper. *update* The leasing office is open now...photos uploaded Mike Glass’ business card is the last photo. Contact him for leasing info.

Exceptional seems like an understatement in describing my experience leasing and moving in to Juniper. Leon Hopson graciously welcomed me and shared my excitement moving in to my new home. The process was streamlined and quick - A+++ all around!

Victor is hands down the best maintenance professional at Juniper! He is incredibly thorough in his work, pays close attention to detail, and genuinely listens to tenants’ concerns. What sets him apart is that he truly cares and never cuts corners — something I can’t say for others I’ve experienced in the past. Victor is not only highly skilled and reliable, but also very friendly and respectful. It's such a relief to have someone like him on the property team. Thank you, Victor, for your outstanding service!

Gotta update my review after a year of living here. Everyone on the management team communicates well and they do eventually solve any incidents. The whole team has started going a little above and beyond here and there. No place or person will ever be perfect but they are always trying to get there. If I was staying in the area, I'd keep renting here. Thank you Michael and all!

This place has been good to live in. The community of people is the best part, especially if you have a dog. That and the maintenance team earnestly cares and tries their hardest.

This apartment complex is perfect for you if you like paying $2,000-$3,000+ in rent while also being psychologically terrorized with unannounced weekly fire alarms-- often daily. Again, this is your ideal living place if you like management lying to your face and in writing that the fire alarms are for "new businesses opening." I've lived here for 2 years and there is not a rate of one new business opening per week to account for the egregious amount of fire alarm "testing."

I should point out that the only positive reviews are from people who didn't rent here. That should tell you what you need to know. Ok, so let's take it from the top, because there is so much wrong with this place. I guess we could start with the poor construction/flimsy walls, only it isn't the walls. It's the floors and the ceilings that are paper thin or have no insulation or I don't know, but it's just ridiculous. I don't want to complain too much about the upstairs neighbors because I don't think it's them. Here's why. I went up there several times to complain to them to keep it down or ask if they needed help moving all that furniture around that they seemed to be moving around and sliding across the floor every. dang. night. However, I get upstairs above my apartment and there is not one sound. Complete silence. The front doors here are also very thin, so if there was something going on in that apartment, I would hear it while standing at the door. Ok, I'm a little worried about character count, so I'm going to be more brief with the rest of these. Weed. If you don't love the smell, then you don't want to live here because it is everywhere you go. I swear, it must be in the carpet because there's no way that it can stink that bad at all hours. I go to bed early and wake early, so it's not like I'm walking around during prime partying hours and it is just ridiculous. On the bright side, I think it covers the smell of the dog feces, which I would think would also be quite prevalent, given the amount of varying degree of brown stains all over the carpet everywhere. Speaking of dog feces, do NOT enter colorburst park behind the building. It is completely loaded. Well, to be fair, about every place of any vegetation at all around this building is loaded with dog feces. Thin ceilings, weed, dog feces, oh, maintenance. The maintenance guys are really good, and that's a huge plus because if you move in here, you are going to be calling them. These apartments are only a couple years old, but I swear these appliances have got to be nearing ten. That being said, the maintenance guys are so accustomed to dealing with the cheap and broken down appliances that they generally know exactly what the issue is just by the briefest description on a work order. Seems like a LOT of corners were cut during construction and, based on how fast the building is going up behind us, I'm guessing that this one went up just as fast. Hit or miss elevators. I moved in last November and they just got the second elevator in the lobby working in April, I think. There's some kind of alarm in the garage that is constantly going off, I don't know what they mean by it. They nickel and dime you to absolute death on the way in, but I think that's all complexes now, so I don't know that that is a legitimate complaint. Oh! The concierge. LOL. Concierge. Hey folks, there is no concierge. There's a front desk. That's it. I think their understanding of the word concierge is just as lacking as their understanding of the word luxury. Oh, and if your situation changes and you get offered a new job? You can forget that. These clowns charge you two months rent(over four grand on the cheapest unit) plus the standard 85% breakage fee. Theirs might be 90%, though, I'm not sure. They seem to want to be outrageous about it. I guess that's the thing to take from this review, though, is not to believe me. Believe the apartment complex. They know that nobody who has the time to do their proper research is going to want to move in here, so they gouge the crap out of anybody who tries to leave. I have lived in ACTUAL luxury apartment complexes all over Dallas and I have NEVER seen a luxury complex ask for more than 60 notice and an 85% lease breakage penalty. Now, you'll obviously see these types of shenanigans in the less desirable complexes, where they have a hard time filling units, but a Luxury complex. Never seen this type of nonsense. Oh, hey, the gym is nice. There always seems to be some kind of issue with the audio in the gym, but who's listening to the gym audio anyway? Just bring your own audio and crank it. Problem solved. Oh, you have VERY limited selection for food and shops here, so be prepared to drive, which means be prepared to get VERY familiar with negotiating that parking garage. Cheese n Rice. smh. Oh, and let's not forget the cops. You'd think you were living in the ghetto. These animals are all over the place here, waking people up on Saturday mornings by pounding on doors that they can't legally go through because they don't have a warrant. The property actually gave them fobs because they're scared the cops are going to destroy things. Think about that. The complex isn't worried about criminals, because you wouldn't be, in this area. They're worried about the cops destroying their property. Well, the animals being what they are, they take that as an invitation to hang out whenever they like.

I'll start with the good. Maintenance is always prompt and efficient when called. I've had several requests that were always fulfilled very timely. Leasing didn't start out on the best terms honestly, I went to view an apartment and was asked if I qualified for a lower income unit (which honestly was a frustrating experience, made even worse because the person asking was of the same race as me). This area has many families but not as many upwardly mobile young professionals as say DC so I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Further communication was always pleasant but I never forgot that. This property has many opportunities to improve the experiences of their residents. From a security standpoint, the garages operate as intended maybe 2% of the time. Often when you come home the garage doors are already up and that's concerning. There aren't enough parking spaces in the garage for the number of residents who live here. Expect to park very far away from where you actually live. I lived on the 2nd floor and regularly had to park on the 5th or 6th floor. If I knew this when leasing I would've requested an apartment on the 5th or 6th floor. Pet owners are irresponsible. Regularly saw pee and poop in the elevators and in the hallways. The bldg also has many design flaws that are big inconveniences when you live here. The design of the parking garage is horrible. You enter from a very sharp left turn and there are many scuffs and dings to this area due to drivers not being able to maneuver around the sharp corners perfectly. Also many stairwells in the parking garage are designed for you to exit after parking but not re-enter to access your vehicle. Many do not have the key fob access to renter the area. So for example, if you parked on the 3rd floor expect to go to the 4th floor and walk through the garage to get to you car. Many floors have this issue and you won't know until you park there. The entire building had a fruit fly infestation for about 9 months. I'll include pics because it was unreal. Prepare to become a fruit fly ninja that has to constantly create vinegar or wine traps because you won't have any other choice. This wasn't the usual left some bananas out longer than I should've, traps were getting 20-30 flies a day on each trap. It was disgusting and I had to put traps in each room because they were everywhere. The mgmt office told residents it was from standing water on the roof but it was really from the trash room which I was able to find out from someone close to the situation. Parking garage door opener never worked on the app for controlled access. Overpriced for the amount of headaches I experienced. I estimate as much as 80% of residents moved out when their lease ended. When I left MANY people were also moving out.

The lack of communication from the ENTIRE staff, is far from luxury. I know I rented here based on the "beautiful property". Things are constantly broken. Overpriced. Parking and EV stations are a problem in itself. Guest parking and entry is terrible. Other than the gym, the amenities seem great but always have an issue. Centipedes and mice on lower floors. Pool barely gets sun due to it being in the middle of the building and is also horrible hours, and only 3.5 ft deep. Only plus is the high ceilings in the apartments and the maintenance staff.

I live here and I love it. The team (office, front desk, cleaning and maintenance) is great. Shoutout to the concierge staff and Shawn. They listen and react promptly to any concerns. The building host several monthly events for us. The location is prime. Everyone always seem happy to be at work and I love that. Friendliness, location, cleanliness and amenities. I highly recommend living here.....5 star building.

As a current resident who has been here since Juniper opened in early 2020, I can honestly say that you do not get what you pay for. 'Luxury' seems to be nothing more than a word and a means to overcharge people for lack of basic necessities. Examples? Broken elevators and garage doors every other month, lack of security which leads to stolen property from people who don't live here, infestations of mice, sewer bugs, flies, and millipedes, as well as excessive amounts of dog feces and urine. Not to mention lack of communication from management when ANYTHING that affects the residents happen, smoke (cigarettes and weed) penetrating walls and pipes in a non-smoking facility, and random fire alarms at all hours of the day. The two stars are due to the proximity to the highway, food, and entertainment. It's literally right outside your door. Which also leads to noisy nights and a ton of HoCo residents on the weekends which we expected. We are planning to move as soon as our next lease is up due to how bad the service and quality has gotten over the last year. But do yourself a favor and skip over moving here

The best place to live in columbia MD. This place is a gem .... Since living here they have opened up two new restaurants. The staff are wonderful! Shawn, Dionne, and the guys who help fix all the issues in the complex (can't remember their names at the moment) are fantastic they deserve a bonus or a raise . My only fear is that it will be so popular here that we are gonna get priced out lol. I have a 1.5 year old son and he loves it here too! There is a small park area in front of us and a little water splash for kids. Place is def mom approved! There are 5 restaurants in walking distance ( 2 underneath us and one 5 steps away! There is an ice cream shop underneath us too! There are plans to open two more! As a city girl I was a little hesitate to live in the county but this apt is def a nice mix. There was an ice rink in the winter too it was a hit! Im amazed how Juniper manages to be both peaceful and lively at the same time! So glad my husband and I found this place!

I recently toured an apartment here and even though I am not able to take the apartment due to concerns with my dog acclimating to stairs/elevator, this entire building is stellar. I cannot recommend this facility enough! I have already told a few colleagues about what a great place it would be to live. Absolutely beautiful and high end in every way. The amenities are superb as are the apartments themselves. Really beautiful.

I lived at Juniper for 15 months in 2020-2021. At first blush, it looks like an amazing brand-new building, with a lot of great amenities. The staff in the leasing office (particularly Ashley and Shawna) were always both amazing and extremely helpful. However, so many things went wrong while I lived there, as well as after I moved out. The exterior doors leading from the garage into the building were always, always malfunctioning. This was on every single floor, every single day. Huge security issue because the electronic locks on the doors would lock properly if they were not closed a certain way. If you were unfortunate enough to live in a unit near these doors, you had to deal with a blaring alarm that kept repeating on an endless loop warning that the doors were not locked. This went on from the day I moved in until the day I moved out. However, that wasn't even the dealbreaker. For me, it was the walls that are paper thin. I could clearly hear my neighbors' conversations from adjacent units on a regular basis. Even worse, my ceiling shook (literally shook) anytime the neighbor above me walked around upstairs. Waking up every time my upstairs neighbor got out of bed to go the bathroom at 2 a.m. was not fun. When I had two days left in my lease, the management office mistakenly granted access to the painters to my unit before I was completely moved out. The painters dropped a large speaker and actually opened my suitcases and went through my personal belongings. No joke. I was so shocked I didn't know what to think. Of course, they were very apologetic, and we negotiated a settlement for the damage to my property, but it really left a bad impression. To make matters worse, I couldn't get them to refund my security deposit. And it wasn't because there was some dispute over the property withholding a portion or all of it. They unequivocally told me that I was entitled to the full deposit of approximately $475. I waited, and waited, and waited...then waited some more. I contacted them again and again asking about when I would receive the deposit and was exchanging multiple emails with the property manager. She also did not understand why the company was not issuing a check. She continued to apologize, but still not check more than 3 months after I moved out. I finally ended up having to write a demand letter and I warned them that I would file a lawsuit (and that if I did, I would be entitled to treble damages as designated by Maryland law). After I waited several more weeks, I filed a lawsuit. They didn't even show up at the hearing! The Court awarded me treble damages (three times the original amount I was owed) and attorneys and court fees. Then, I had to hassle them to pay! It took MONTHS! I finally was about to resort to filing a pleading with the court to set another hearing to have them show up with their financial records to do basically an audit and schedule payment. Literally the day before I was planning to file the paperwork, their attorney contacted me, and we arranged for payment. To add insult to injury, I had to go to their attorney's offices to pick up a check and sign a release. It's taken me a long time to sit down and write this review. Honestly, overall, it was not a terrible place to live, but after what they did with the security deposit and all the issues with the building, I would warn anyone I know to avoid this property. I still feel absolutely dumbfounded whenever I think about it because what I can't understand is, why? WHY was it such an issue for this company to issue me a check for a measly $475? We weren't talking thousands of dollars or anything. I'm not sure what went wrong on their end, but I think it is a huge red flag.
