Overview
HH Cresmont is a student-oriented apartment property located in Baltimore, Maryland, near the Homewood campus of a major research university. The building offers four-bedroom units only, with monthly rent ranging from US$1,099 to US$1,119 (indicative — confirm with the operator). It is pet-friendly, provides parking, and includes WiFi in the rent. The property has a Google rating of 4.2 out of 5 based on 66 reviews, suggesting generally positive resident experience, though individual reviews vary considerably.
The building’s address is Baltimore, MD 21211, USA, placing it in a residential area close to university facilities, food outlets, and convenience stores. The earliest move-in date shown is 10 August 2026, which aligns with typical academic intake periods.
Who This Residence Suits
HH Cresmont is best suited for students who prioritise space and natural light over ultra-low rent. One long-term resident noted rooms “are pretty big, with lots of sunlight,” which suggests the floor plans are generous compared to some competitors. The property’s location — about a ten-minute walk to campus — appeals to those who want quick access without living directly on a busy commercial street. The same resident described the area as “super safe,” which is a relevant factor for students new to Baltimore.
The building is also a good fit for groups of four who want to live together in a single unit. Since only four-bedroom apartments are listed, the property is not suitable for singles or couples seeking studios or one-bedroom layouts. Groups who coordinate room assignments before signing can take advantage of the fixed configuration.
Students with pets will find HH Cresmont accommodating: the pet_friendly tag indicates the property allows animals, likely under specific terms (confirm with the operator). Residents who drive will appreciate the on-site parking option, as street parking in Baltimore can be limited.
Who This Residence Doesn’t Suit
Students on a tight budget may find the rent relatively high compared to the city’s minimum. The lowest-priced student accommodation in Baltimore starts at US$909 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). HH Cresmont’s cheapest four-bedroom unit is US$1,099, which is about 21% above that floor. If you are willing to share a smaller apartment or look at different unit types, you could pay less elsewhere.
The property does not offer private studios or two/three-bedroom configurations. If you prefer living alone or with only one roommate, HH Cresmont is not an option. Similarly, students who need very short leases (e.g., semester-only contracts) should check with management; the data does not show a minimum lease term, so flexibility is unclear.
One former resident reported a deeply negative end-of-tenancy experience, describing it as “the very last day … destroyed all the positive memories and left me with lasting pain.” While single negative reviews do not define a property, this account suggests that move-out processes (including cleaning expectations and deposit handling) may cause stress for some residents. Those who are particularly sensitive about final inspections might want to read the full review and ask the operator about their check-out policy.
What Residents Say
Three Google reviews are available, reflecting a mix of strong praise and serious criticism.
Bill Njoroge (5-star, long-term resident): “Been here for the past 2 years and have had a great experience. Chelcee is great, super supportive, helpful and kind. Rooms are pretty big, with lots of sunlight. It’s about a 10 minute walk to campus, and the area is super safe. Food court and convenience stores are also pretty close. Maintenance has also been pretty …”
This review highlights staff responsiveness, room size, location, and security — key factors for student renters. The mention of “Chelcee” (likely a property manager) suggests good on-site management.
Diane (1-star, former resident): “My experience at this apartment was good until the very last day. That final day destroyed all the positive memories and left me with lasting pain. Even five years later, thinking about it is still deeply upsetting. Before moving out, we did a thorough cleaning of the apartment. I noticed that no one had cleaned the mi …”
The truncated text indicates a complaint about cleanliness standards or charges at move-out. The emotional language (“lasting pain”) should be weighed against the fact that this is a single account from years ago. Nonetheless, it signals potential friction at lease end.
Krirk N (5-star, first-semester student): “Overall, a very positive experience living here during my first semester at JHU. Here’s my honest parallel review: Pros: - Probably one of the most money-worth options compared to other apartments around campus, considering key factors like location, space, furnishings, facilities, etc. - Their signature feature is the …”
This review reinforces the value-for-money perception, especially relative to other nearby options. The phrase “most money-worth” is informal but suggests good cost-benefit for price-conscious students who demand space and amenities.
Price Positioning & Room Types
HH Cresmont is priced at US$1,099–US$1,119 per month for a four-bedroom apartment (indicative — confirm with the operator). Baltimore’s overall starting price for student housing is US$909 per month, so this property sits in the mid-to-upper price tier for the market.
The unit type is listed as 4b, which almost certainly means a four-bedroom layout (likely with a shared kitchen and living area). No other configurations are available. If you intend to rent an individual room in a four-bedroom apartment, you would pay a share of the total rent — typically US$275–US$280 per month per bedroom assuming equal split, though the operator may charge per-room rather than per-unit. Ask for exact pricing per person.
The property includes WiFi, which saves you the hassle of setting up an internet connection. Parking and pet-friendly policies are additional features not always included in student housing. Check if parking is free or has a surcharge, and what pet deposits or fees apply.
Booking Timing
The earliest listed availability is 10 August 2026. If you are starting studies in the fall 2026 semester, August is a common move-in window. Given that Baltimore has a limited number of purpose-built student housing properties (only three in the dataset), competition for units at HH Cresmont could be noticeable.
Booking early — ideally several months before August 2026 — is advisable if you want to secure a preferred unit. Many student accommodations release inventory about 6–12 months ahead. Because HH Cresmont only has four-bedroom apartments, you may need to form or join a group of four students to reserve a slot. Solo renters should coordinate with potential roommates in advance.
Check the operator’s cancellation and rebooking policies when you sign. Some properties allow free cancellation within a cooling-off period; others charge a fee. The deposit amount is not provided, so confirm how much is required to hold the unit and whether it is refundable.
FAQ
How far is the property from the university campus?
Residents report it is about a ten-minute walk to campus. The building is located near the Homewood area of Baltimore, which is home to research institutions. The immediate neighborhood has food courts and convenience stores within walking distance.
Are utilities included in the rent?
The data indicates WiFi is included. Other utilities (electricity, water, gas, trash) are not specified. You should ask the operator whether the rent covers these costs or if they are billed separately. The monthly price of US$1,099–US$1,119 (indicative) may or may not include all utilities.
Can I book a private room, or do I need to rent the whole apartment?
The property lists only four-bedroom units (4b). Typically, student housing operators allow individual room bookings, meaning you would pay for one bedroom and share common areas. However, some require the entire apartment to be leased to a group. Clarify with the operator whether you can book a single bed space or must secure the whole unit.
