Edison Long Beach is an amazing apartment community. From lobby and amenity spaces to modern apartment layouts, I fell in love with this building 5 years ago, simply from a virtual tour! I love its adjacency to downtown, which seats you in the heart of the East Village Arts District, an 8 minute walk from the beach and amidst the fun of city events. Its location incites becoming more active and opting for more local foot travel. What I appreciate most about this building is the maintenance and community events teams. Mike and Jose Luis are patient, respectful and caring anytime you need support in your unit. Submitting maintenance requests via AppFolio is also a breeze. The community events hosted by Anyssa and Maddie are also a great way to mix and mingle with folks in the community. We've had food trucks, taco nights and even community night markets allowing entrepreneurs within the building to share their talents. Having such events allows everyone to have day-to-day privacy with curated spaces for fellowship. Any miscellaneous needs or thinking of switching to a different unit? Ronnie is a pleasure in the leasing office and will welcome you with warmth and compassion. The Edison is a quiet, high-end commercial conversion that was renovated in 2017. It was formally a branch of City Hall and the police department in its past. Amidst living in earthquake territory, I feel very safe here and appreciate the build quality matching its beautiful aesthetic. A couple of things to consider: 1. There is parking for one vehicle per unit, though there are 3 garages within one block that provide monthly parking options for additional vehicles. 2. There is no concierge service in the building for deliveries, though night time security guards are present and a new virtual entry system allows you to open the lobby door via app with video and audio access. You are also able to create virtual keys for visitors! read more

Ronnie is honest and super friendly and nice. Maintenance is great too . He was very helpful and sat up the thermostat quickly. read more

I would give over 5 stars if I could! Def my most favorite place I've ever lived. I've toured apts in the IE, OC + all over the LBC + ultimately decided on Edison for so many reasons. The ONLY reason i'd move out is to be closer to work (I currently commute for work but LOVE getting to come home here every day) - it makes the commute so worth it! Juanita is the best/most kind/excellent community director I've ever met. She is constantly looking for ways to elevate the building + the living experience + genuinely cares about people. I probably speak with Ronnie the most because I'm always asking random questions (lol) + each time I'm met with insane kindness, knowledge + simply just the best vibes. So grateful. Mike + the maintenance team are the best I've ever experienced at an apt bldg. They are quick, efficient + sooo kind! Any maintenance issues get resolved immediately. No waiting + wondering if someone is coming to help, you can trust that they're on it! (Honestly so rare!) Genuinely all of the staff are excellent at what they do + are the most kind people. They're super intentional about the community they create here + LOVE to host an event! We get free, fun events for almost all the holidays + they even host market nights!! + there's always free coffee in the lobby. FYI -The bldg/parking garage are super secure. I've never had any issues + I've even been away for weeks at a time when I travel for work + my apt, car + packages are safe + untouched. I've even had stuff delivered while I was away for work + the staff was kind enough to put it in the package room/apt for me - all you have to do is ask! -Great amenities/perks! Most of the photos on Yelp are outdated + don't show the upgrades!! You really have to tour in person to see how beautiful (+ honestly fun) it is here. There are so many gather/community spaces, epic rooftop views + a rad game area. -Keep in mind the valet trash, parking, package room are amazing perks that you pay for. Just something to factor into your budget. I believe we also partner with a dry cleaning service!? Super cool if that's something you need. -The location is 10/10. So many shops, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, creative things, the beach, the pike, all in walking distance! Scooters are always parked nearby if you need to go a little further too! -You can only rent 1 parking spot per apt so if you have a roommate it's something to think about. I honestly host my friends a lot + it's never been an issue. -Sunset view apt is top tier but that also means your windows are above the metro line A which can be noisy if you're not into typical city traffic/noise. It's honestly normal for LB but something to note if you need absolute silence. -The 1 bdrms are not fully closed in so you will get light pollution. You'll need to invest in a sleep mask or blackout shades if you need full darkness to sleep. (I haven't had any issues with it + use a sound machine for the city noise), just something to be aware of. -The community here is the BEST. All the residents are so nice + so many ppl have pets!! I love how pet friendly it is here + love meeting everyone's pups. -The rooftop views are out of this world. Coming home from a long day of work + drinking a glass a wine +/or reading (or doomscrolling) on the rooftop makes me feel like I'm in a movie lol highly recommend. Even the rooftop restrooms have insane views!! -They are Airbnb friendly if you want that option. I personally am not a fan of Airbnbs lol, but love that it gives residents an opportunity to make some extra cash. TIPS -Call before you tour to see what deals they have going on! Like if you apply within 24hrs of touring you get a deal on "x". Just call + ask! -Get a wagon to keep in your car/closet for big grocery hauls. Makes life easier lol -Use the service elevator for move in day! It's bigger :) they also have carts for you to utilize!! -PLZ TAKE A TOUR !! Trust me, just take the tour!! The bldg, the staff, the community - honestly just everything is 10/10 + the tour will really showcase everything they offer here (like FLOOR TO CEILING WINDOWS!) I genuinely can't say enough great things about this place + the people who curate the experience for us. I knew I loved the bldg when I toured, but seeing how the staff interacted with the residents during the tour really sold it for me. The community here is unmatched. Period. read more

I appreciate the staff here! If I need help with maintenance, they respond promptly. If I ever need to call the office, the team is helpful and respectful! read more

I'm leaving a review about my experience visiting this complex. We scheduled an appointment in advance and chose a specific time in our work schedule to come and see the apartments. In the end, we arrived about 8 minutes early just to make sure we wouldn't be late. A young man opened the door for us (surprisingly unfriendly, which is strange for a leasing manager). He started by asking if we brought our documents and what our names were, and then told us that there had been a mistake and that we were scheduled to view the apartments together with other people. There was no apology, no offer of water or coffee -- nothing. We had already arrived, and apparently we were expected to sit and wait for the others so we could see the apartments together. I didn't realize that this was their idea of an "individual tour." That sounds more like a group tour. When we said we didn't want to wait for other people, he responded with: "But you came earlier..." At that point I was honestly speechless. We prepared everything, arrived slightly early to make sure everything would go smoothly, and instead we were told there was a mistake -- and somehow we were the ones at fault for arriving 8 minutes early. I was honestly shocked. The building itself looked dirty and the windows were dirty as well. Of course we canceled everything and will never return. Thank you for wasting our time. read more

The Edison Apartments are a fantastic place to live with top-tier amenities, welcoming staff, and beautifully designed homes that make every day feel like luxury. read more

Edison Long Beach - Free coffee every morning! - Apartments Near Me - Long Beach, California

Ronnie was such a pleasure to work with. From first touring the units I was interested in to doing the final walk-through of the one I ultimately leased. He was communicative and quick to respond throughout the application process, and he's always a friendly face to see in the elevator hallway or when passing the leasing office read more

Really impressive staff and a unique building with rich history. Originally the corporate headquarters for Edison electric company, then a police headquarters, then an art gallery and now apartments. The place is built super sturdy with concrete floors. Barely hear neighbors The few times there were building issues the team handled it gracefully and treated us tenants to little snacks and comfort items. I remember there was a big upgrade done to the water pipes and was worried about lack of water. The day work was done I didn't even notice until water was restored - as if there was no disruption. Mostly interacted with Ronnie a leasing agent who was always kind and speedy. Wish I could've stayed longer - or taken the team with me. read more

I really enjoyed the tour I took of Edison Apartments led by Bri. Her tour anticipated all the questions I thought to ask, which I greatly appreciated. She is a professional that knows the property inside and out. I also appreciated that she made sure to integrate my family who I brought along to see the property with me. The Edison is a beautiful property with floor to ceiling windows and a gorgeous rooftop. read more

The building managers and staff are awesome. Since we moved in in 2021 whenever we've had an issue, they were quick to respond and took good care of us. I definitely lived in buildings before where I had less caring and interested managers or landlords, but this is not the case here the lobby is always well stocked with coffee and the grounds are clean and safe. read more

Absolutely love living here! The building events are always fun and bring everyone together. A huge shoutout to Anyssa, Omar, and Louis for always being amazing and so helpful. The management team consistently goes the extra mile to ensure everything runs smoothly. It is a great experience. read more

I have been living here for a while and feel really comfortable and safe. Anissa, Ronnie, Juanita, Maddie, Michael and all of the staff have been great. read more

Amazing experience. The team help us in everything and I'm happy to enjoin the events ! 5 stars

I just moved into this apartment and I have to say out of all the apartments I moved to I've never been treated this well. Customer service was amazing any question, request or call I made was met quickly and promptly. The move in process was easy and the staff was very accommodating. What they advertise is what you get no sneaky fees or surprises in price. Anyssa was extremely helpful and made sure all my needs were met when it came to the moving process on top of the tenants being very nice and friendly. 10/10 read more

We've lived here for a little over 5 months and the experience has been second to none! Everyone from the front office, maintenance, and janitorial staff all truly are like a family and will treat you the same way! Communication with the entire staff is clear and prompt, even with their busy schedule. This has been the best apartment living experience for us thus far and it's not only because of the awesome location, but because of the warm and welcoming hospitality that the staff blesses you with on a daily basis! read more

We've had a great experience with this being my son's first apartment. Anyssa, Louis, Omar, and staff are always kind, knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. The neighbors we've met have all been friendly and the amenities are great with a beautiful rooftop pool and lounge (except the heated pool is not really warm). Highly recommend! read more

I had a very positive experience with Anyssa when I had my apartment tour with her a few months ago. She was so positive, excited, and professional when she went over all the details of the lease/apartment. Anyssa was able to help me sign a lease, complete the paperwork, and get me a move in date within days! Very easy and stress-free process! Also, Ronnie handed me the keys on move-in day. He walked me through everything I needed to know as a resident within an hour or less. It is definitely a game-changer to have great management where you live! Thank you both Anyssa and Ronnie for your customer service and professionalism! read more

I travel for work and have lived in a few apartment communities over the years, but none have had someone as great as Juanita and the Edison team. She truly sets this place apart! From the first time we spoke, she made me feel like more than just another tenant, she treated me like family. What stands out the most is her proactive approach. Juanita doesn't wait for you to reach out. She checks in regularly to ensure everything is going smoothly. She's also incredibly resourceful, whether I needed help with a tricky maintenance issue or advice on the best local spots, she always had the perfect solution. This is the best place in Downtown Long Beach! You should check it out. read more

I've now lived at the Edison for almost 3 years in two different units and I can confidently say I've never felt more at home than I have living here. The concrete floors, floor to ceiling windows and thick walls where you can't hear your neighbors below, above or next door is the real cherry on top! The best part about this building is how strong the community and neighborly vibes are. The leasing staff is THE BEST too. I've lived in many apartments and have never felt so welcomed by the staff, they really make you feel like you're at home and make sure all your needs are met. Shout out Juanita, Luigi and Anissa! Live here if you're looking for a building with top notch community, management and an apartment you feel not only safe in, but at home. Lastly, can't forget about the beautiful rooftop pool! It's a vibe year round. read more

Edison Long Beach - Apartments Near Me - Long Beach, California

We moved here in November of 2023 and have loved every second of it! We always say that it is probably one of the best decisions we ever made. First off, the staff is amazing! The staff in the office, Luigi, Juanita, Anyssa, and Shelly are always very responsive and helpful. They know the residents by name and you can tell that they truly care about the community. The maintenance staff here are top tier. Omar and his team make sure to keep the amenities and units in great shape. Whenever we have issues in our apartment, they respond and fix it in a timely manner. The community areas are always so clean and smell so good! The amenities are some of the main reasons we made the move here. The gym has all the basic things you need for a great workout! The rooftop views are insane! And the dog wash station is just a plus. The units are what really sold us to this place besides the amazing staff. The concrete floors and floor to ceiling windows make for such a chic and modern look. We have been so much happier since we moved to Edison, and we have all these things mentioned in this review to thank for it! read more

Juanita, the leasing manager is awesome. She's always very helpful and supportive for the tenants needs overall great leasing manager very warm and good person. The Edison apartments I will recommend to anyone that's looking for a good leasing experience and a place to call home. I went from a studio to a one bedroom to now a two bedroom as the seasons have changed. The growth in the community is always welcoming to your growth in life. . Good place to be. read more

Absolutely love living here. Been here almost a year and have had the best experience. The office staff is so warm, welcoming, and personable. They are so attentive, supportive, and quick to respond to any needs I've had. They also love my fur baby Ash, which means the world to me. Shout out to Nyssa and Ronnie. Both have made my time at Edison memorable and so chill. Good job Edison and hiring these two. Love them! read more

Edison Long Beach - Pool Area - Apartments Near Me - Long Beach, California

Edison is overpriced for the space, safety, and service you are receiving. You can do better elsewhere. Comments on Security Deposit: Be prepared to NOT receive it back. Also, be prepared to pay on top of your security deposit a large sum consisting of hidden fees. We paid an additional $650 on top of the security deposit that we didn't receive back. If you're thinking of hanging up a TV, don't*. They charged us $400 to repair as the management described "4 small holes" in the wall. Comments on Security and Safety: Homeless person was found wondering on one the floors. A fellow tenet said the homeless man was banging on his unit trying to get in. Had multiple packages stolen. Don't expect management to do anything about it. Comments on Management: Really disappointing. I expected top tier service with this high cost of living. Poor communication. Don't have a pleasant welcoming aura. Felt, like I was asking too much of them for everything I asked. Doesn't pick up the phone right away. Comments on the 1 Bedroom Units: I paid close to $3,000 a month for a "1 bedroom." The Edison labeling these units as a "1 bedroom" is highly misleading. It's a studio. There's "a bedroom" zoned in the center of the unit with walls that don't touch the celling. In my opinion, I think they label these units as "1 bedrooms" to up charge the rent. If you are interested, I highly recommend taking a tour before signing a lease. The layout isn't conducive to hosting guests. Guest can easily hear you in the bedroom and even bathroom. There's only one small window, so be prepared to use AC during hot days. This cost adds up high during the summer months. Comments on Hidden Fees: They charge you for Pest Control (never was shown proof of this service being done). You are also charged a Service Fee every time you pay rent (never given an explanation why). Cleaning Fee - $275 when you move out. I thought this was a ridiculous price and asked for the breakdown. Here it is: Complete Clean - $180 Refrigerator Cleaning - $20 Deep Cleaning - $75 Why are these separate cost? To charge you more money. Comments on Parking: Parking is an additional fee of $100. You are only allowed one car. This made it challenging for myself and boyfriend to allocate parking. One of us had to park in a different parking lot about 0.4 miles away. No guest parking. Makes it difficult to host guests. Garage isn't secure. It was broken numerous times. I stored a cart under my car to bring groceries in and it was stolen. I stored shocks for my car under my car and it was stolen. read more

Great location if you like to go out for dinner, drinks, shows, etc., and be central to a lot of fun cities. The leasing office is very friendly and helpful when you need something and they are usually here until about 8pm which is nice. They also put out coffee every morning and snacks for everyone's dogs which is very thoughtful. Building is always clean and well kept and has a rooftop pool and gym. read more

My husband and I have been here for 3 months, but we are incredibly happy at Edison Apartments so far. Ronnie gave me us the tour of our beautiful apartment. Juanita went above and beyond to make sure our move in process went smoothly. They always throw fun events that give us the opportunity to meet our neighbors as well. All of the staff here is incredibly friendly. My apartment is spacious and modern. The high ceilings are a huge plus. read more

We were seriously looking at an apartment here but after calling numerous times to reach out and being treated so rudely over the phone, we reconsidered with consequences of other reviews we looked at. One in specific: Saige S. on 1/5/2024: "Edison is overpriced for the space, safety, and service you are receiving. You can do better elsewhere." Then we went on to another 1-star review from Thefuture S. in Carson, CA about the deplorable conditions of the common areas. We were hung up on 7 different times trying to get through to a leasing agent. These are high-end apartments so is it safe to assume they would have upper-echelon employees running the front desk? The Corporate Owners needs to take a long, hard look at the professionalism of their staff, regardless if it's a potential-client, current resident, vendor or whatever the case. Too many other nice apartments available down the street. read more

Highly recommend checking out Edison Apartments, the front office and maintenance staff are top notch when it comes to solving issues. Shout out to Omar! read more

I've lived at the Edison for over 2 years now in two different units. The apartments and amenities rival other downtown options that I toured, but I decided on the Edison after a friend's recommendation. The concrete floors and floor to ceiling windows are what really sold me, there are great views in most of the apartments. The rooftop pool is lovely in the summertime and a great place to meet other residents. They are very pet friendly with a pet washing station and a treat bowl that is often in the lobby. I've rented under two different property management companies in this building and the current company is great with planning resident mixers or bringing in food trucks every so often, the entire staff is welcoming and helpful if you ask! Would recommend living here to anyone. read more

We moved into the Edison in May of this year (2023). It has been a great experience. Unfortunately, Bri (one of the leasing consultants) is no longer here but she was absolutely the driving force for us to move in. While looking at other communities here in DTLB, Bri and Edison were the ONLY community that let us walk in and tour and actually made us feel welcomed. The other locations we had walked into were either not available for touring or made us feel like it was a bother. AMC, make sure to not lose the human element: we need and want your leasing agents. Although, Bri is no longer here, Luigi and Juanita are amazing and will take absolute great care of anything you need. We walk by the office almost everyday and they are there with a smile and ready to help you. If you have ever been worried about maintenance: don't be here. My wife and I have had quite a bit of maintenance requests (very small minute items) but Luis always takes care of us. Luis and Yesenia are literally our morning people we always say hi to. Both always have such a great smile and attitude and we are very lucky to have them taking care of the community. AMC don't let your amazing staff go anywhere else, they all are what make the property such a great place to live. read more

Amazing Experience Thanks to Juanita! I can't say enough good things about living in this community, and a huge part of that is thanks to Juanita! From the moment I toured the property, she went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and well-informed. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail truly stood out. Anytime I've had a question or needed assistance, Juanita has been quick to respond and genuinely helpful. The property itself is beautiful--well-maintained, quiet, and full of great amenities. But it's the staff, especially Juanita, that makes it feel like home. If you're considering moving here, I highly recommend it. You'll be in great hands with Juanita! Thank you for everything, Juanita--you've made my time here so enjoyable! read more

Edison has been a great place to call home! Everyone in the office is always so helpful and welcoming. Ronnie and Anyssa made the move in process easy and quick. And Jaunita, Deborah, and Daniel are always on top of requests and making sure your experience living here is what you want and expect. I couldn't ask for a better team running the building! Additionally, Omar and the maintenance team are also super helpful and friendly while being sure to get to requests as quick as possible. The whole staff makes it a point to remember you which is amazing and normally hard to find in larger complexes. The building is nicely kept up and in a fantastic location as well. Very thankful to live here! read more

The Edison team had been amazing since moving in I appreciate all the check up and the help with the move in process.

I lived here a year and it was the most stressful, overpriced, unclean, dismally run down, always breaking, every month without heat, water, AC, or all three. The units are cross-metered so who knows whose bill you're paying... AND when you move out? May as well wipe your hands of it and not clean at all because no matter how clean you make it, they'll make sure you owe them money at the end of the day! Nice! The absolute worst place to live in Long Beach. What a joke. $2400 for a studio bedroom under 400sq ft. RUN AWAY. I would not be surprised if this building is condemned within a year. read more

Thank you Luigi and Juanita for always answering my questions and providing great customer service. I love living at the Edison. The Resident Event are incredible. We notice the labor that both of you put in to make the Edison a great community. read more

Tons of random hidden fees when moving out like pest control, fee refrigerator cleaning, and fee additional cleaning fee. I cleaned the place before leaving in hopes to get more of my security deposit back because I knew some would be use to patch the small holes where I hung a tv. They took my whole security deposit plus $600+ extra. Also had a few packages opened in the mail room and the thief left the box empty. At least I knew it was stolen lol. Anyone looking to stay here also should expect around a week to fix any type of problem such as a clogged drain or leaking faucet. Was also charged monthly for a trash service/trash can I never had. read more

It's now the middle of January 2024 and we moved here in early November 2023. I'll start by saying we're extremely thrilled about living here! We searched and visited many other apartments/condos in the downtown area and the Edison is where we decided to call home. I understand that new management is in place so I can't speak to any past reviews, but what I can tell you is that there's a GREAT team here. From the front office personnel, to the maintenance team, to the cleaning staff, everyone has been fantastic! Special shout out to Juanita and the rest of her team, Shelley, Luigi, Bri, Omar, and the latest addition Anyssa! We recently experienced an unexpected water line break in the building and were without water for approximately three days. The entire team jumped into action to quickly begin initiating the necessary repairs. The repairs were made but somehow the line ruptured again, causing further downtime. For me it's always the little things that impress me. The entire team always had a smile, made sure several announcements/updates were made via email and text, physically passed out water bottles directly to our front door, provided coffee and snacks, and brought in port-a-potties. I've never seen a team work together to ensure the residents were as comfortable as possible. I passed by the front office late at night to go for walks and I would see ALL team members present, I assume discussing the game plan for the days to come. They worked hard and definitely put in some long hours during the water line break. Job well done Edison Long Beach team and thank you for the great care and pride you all take in the caring for the building and making sure the residents are taken care of! read more

I'm one of the residents of the Edison Apts. This apartment complex is an excellent place to live. The units are clean and all the functionality of the appliances is top notch. Omar and Jose Luis from maintenance immediately attended to follow-up to ensure that the maintenance work has been performed to the residents satisfaction. The staff Juanita, Luigi, and Anyssa working in the office are the most kind, friendly and helpful. They will go out of their way to make your move and the subsequent stay at the Edison is of the highest quality.
