"Not really a place for little kids. There isn’t much for them to do and you definitely need to keep three sets of eyes on them."

"Luminary at One Light was a great place to live centrally located close to the Inner Harbor & The Charm'tastic Mile. The majestic glass structure is one the Iconic buildings in the city skyline. The Bozzuto Management are very professional with 1st class service. "

"We are close to everything, can walk or bike or use bird/lime scooters to get around. Being near I95 is convenient. I wish grocery stores were better. Parking can be a hassle, unless you pad to park in a city garage monthly. Loved living here as a renter, but now that Ive started a family and have a baby we are looking to move."

"I’ve lived in Ridgleys Delight for four years. It’s a great place where neighbors know each other and watch out for one another. It has a great community association, and while it has the issues of a Baltimore city neighborhood, I still feel safe most hours of the day and night."
