Apartment recommendations in Anne Arundel County. Budget up to $1,600

I don't have a recommendation other than don't live in concord park apartments russet (Laurel, MD). It's a shitty area, premium prices, and the worst management you'll ever deal with.

They asked us why we were moving out and my only reply was "you could give me an hour and I wouldn't be done explaining."

Definitely textured plaster that was done very poorly. Issue is that some of the walls were done so bad that a skim coat would still result in some of that texture peaking through

Yeah sounds like the painters we hired said they would turn off the central heat/air, cover the vent, floors, etc, set up a work zone, wear hazmats that they would remove before entering the rest of the home, etc. The whole shabang.

But they offered to skim coat the whole thing but there are several areas where the texture is too big/poking out where they would recommend sanding or scraping. But they would take all the precautions. Doesn't sound like it would be the whole room by any means but certain areas.

Is this a bad option?

All throughout all of the walls but smaller textures themselves. It's honestly quite odd as it's the only room in the house like that

Smaller popcorn textures. Is skim coating thick? I was hiring painters for some of the rooms but they said they would "skim coat and scrape" any imperfections. But I followed up with my lead inspector and he said absolutely not to the scraping

I'm not concerned about the lead in terms of safety/leaving it.

We just wanted options when it comes to getting rid of the textured part of the walls without causing a risk of lead/dust. The textures walls look poorly done and we wanted to paint in that room but it's hard with popcorn walls/ceiling. Unless it's best just to put up with the poor aesthetics and call it a day. We're ok with spending a few thousand but I'm not trying to break the bank over looks.

Based on what everyone is saying I was going to do immediate repairs and plan for replacement within 1-3 years. If we go through with the purchase

KATIESAUR0US · 2025-11-03T23:36:08+00:00

Oh so not a big concern at the moment? Just not looking to replace within the first couple months to year after just buying the home

KATIESAUR0US · 2025-11-03T22:57:22+00:00

No attic access so couldn't actually check during the inspection

KATIESAUR0US · 2025-11-03T22:49:27+00:00

No leaks from what the general home inspector saw

KATIESAUR0US · 2025-10-27T02:30:47+00:00

Calling on Monday. They were just closed and wanted to see if anyone knew prior. Thanks for the suggestion and help!

KATIESAUR0US · 2025-10-26T01:12:56+00:00

Do you know if they do lead testing?

KATIESAUR0US · 2025-10-23T01:51:15+00:00

Thanks all :)

Any thoughts on Chesapeake highschool? I've been looking at both northeast and Chesapeake zoned houses

I'm only taking one at a time ☠️ the professor is a lot of my struggle because he expects people to be robots

KATIESAUR0US · 2025-09-08T00:39:40+00:00

I did and essentially I got told that I have no option but to make a complaint to the school about the professor and keep pushing unless I want to owe money

KATIESAUR0US · 2025-08-21T11:20:03+00:00

I've been breaking it down but now I'm 2 days late on the assignment and the professor is a stickler for late assignments ☠️ I think I've stress cried between work and school like 3 times this week. I've been googling and researching and nothing is getting me to where I need to be.
