Honestly, I don't really understand why some people had negative experiences here--of course, not…read moreeveryone has the same experience, but for me it was truly great. The community was always clean, and I had so much fun playing pickleball. Cedric and all the staff members were consistently friendly and upbeat, which made living here even better. One thing I especially appreciated was the lease policy. I had to move out earlier than planned, and instead of being forced to pay a full two-month penalty, they reduced it if a new resident moved in sooner. That was such a fair and considerate system. The apartment itself was well maintained, and having air conditioning was a huge plus. I also noticed the pet DNA registration system really helped keep the community cleaner--there was definitely less dog waste compared to other apartments. All in all, I had a happy time living here and I'm leaving with great memories!

Edgewood Heights really is a great place to live overall, but there are a few issues that future…read moreresidents should know about. When I first moved in, the complex had a very high-quality feel to it. However, once you start using the amenities and living there for a while, you begin to notice where things fall short. First, the indoor pool seems to get shut down frequently for cleaning. When I first moved in it felt like it was closed every other week. At one point management even had to send out a message reminding residents to shower before using the pool, which explains why it was being closed so often. Second, the arcade was actually one of the reasons I chose this complex. Unfortunately, about 20% of the machines had issues. Most of the games are free except one, but several machines didn't work properly. Before I even moved in they had already created a rule that children under 13 couldn't use the arcade without a parent present. Third, the weight rooms were disappointing. One of them is extremely small, and the other has machines that were frequently out of order. Fourth, the back side of the complex definitely has some residents who don't respect the property. There are rules about smoking on the property, yet I constantly found cigarette butts scattered around. At the same time, marijuana smoking is treated as a major issue. Garbage around the property was also a recurring problem. Fifth, the complex uses trash valet service. One rule is that you're not supposed to put loose garbage into the bins outside your door or you can get fined. The problem is that several times I came home from work and found that neighbors had put their loose garbage in my bin. Sixth, the walls are advertised as being thick, and it's true that you usually can't hear normal conversation from neighbors. However, that doesn't stop you from hearing loud music when someone decides to blast it at 4 a.m., which isn't great when you have to wake up early for work. Seventh, guest parking is very limited. Like many apartment complexes, finding parking for visitors can be frustrating. Eighth, the complex is gated, but the back gate seemed to break down constantly. It felt like it was out of service every other week. Finally, the arcade rules eventually had to change because of vandalism. Residents now have to rent the arcade out to use it. I've also come home several times on Friday or Saturday nights to find parties happening in the arcade area. The parties themselves aren't the issue, but it often felt like parents weren't supervising their kids or guests very well. Overall, Edgewood Heights really is a good place to live. The apartments themselves are nice and the property has a lot of potential. But the amenities and resident behavior sometimes make the experience less enjoyable than it could be.

My dog learned how to open front door and get out......hahaha and the management team responded quickly......my girl was safely returned to my place....... It is quiet and I feel very much community feeling here. I love my neighbors and feel safe. Parking can get iffy, but I have always managed to park. I have read other reviews and I just did not have a bad experience here and I'm an older lady. I love it here and only reason I am not renewing my lease is space. I have enjoyed my time here, I recommend 207 East with zero hesitation Kristen & Stella

I've been at 207 East in Edgewood for only two months, and I already can't wait to leave. Before we…read moreeven signed the lease, we carefully read all the reviews about this complex -- and the #1 complaint everywhere was parking. We thought: "Okay, parking issues? We'll figure it out, we'll manage." I'm used to dealing with all kinds of difficulties in life, so I figured this was just a small inconvenience we could handle. Boy, was I wrong. What looked like a "minor" problem on paper turned out to be a massive, daily nightmare that completely ruins living here. When we signed, the leasing office was all smiles and promises: "We care about our residents," "We're here to help," "Best community ever." Felt genuine at the time. Now it's obvious it was just a sales script. The parking situation is the main reason everything went south. "Free" open spots are permanently occupied by junk cars, flipper vehicles, big vans -- some rotting there for months with mold. Those never get towed. Covered parking is $155/month, garages $250-$255 -- ridiculous add-on fees when rent is already high. One night I came home late, exhausted after work, no open spots anywhere. I parked in what I thought was acceptable -- first and only mistake. Next morning my car was gone. Office: "Towed, here's the number." Tow company: $500 immediately or it jumps in hours. I asked for a break since it was my first time and I was dead tired. They said straight up: "We share revenue with the complex for operating here. We can't discount unless management waives their cut. If they agree, we charge only our tow and storage fees." Went to the property manager and explained calmly: late return, no parking, exhausted, first offense. She cut me off immediately, rude and condescending: "You knew where you parked. You knew the rules. It's in the lease you signed." Smirking like I was an idiot for even asking. When I said there were literally no spots, she snapped: "You could have parked at AutoZone." Their brilliant solution -- park at a lot that tows at 5-6 a.m. so you either wake up at dawn or pay twice. That's how they treat people paying thousands in rent? Yes, I made a mistake. I admit it 100%. But if it were legal to shoot me for parking in the wrong spot once, they probably would have pulled the trigger. Instead, they used it to squeeze $500 out of me and pocket their share of the towing kickback. I already know exactly how they'll respond to this review: copy-paste template -- "We're so sorry this happened... please contact us at [number] so we can discuss and resolve this issue." They always do that. Every second review here gets the same scripted reply. They pretend to care, act understanding, promise to help -- and then do absolutely nothing. No real resolution, no actual change, just more of the same arrogance: "You shouldn't have parked there." They're not interested in fixing problems. They ignore junk cars hogging spots for months but jump to tow residents over one tired mistake. The golf-cart "security" exists only to ticket and call tows, not to help. Management sees residents as walking wallets -- milk the rent, milk the towing profits, ignore the rest. We're out the second the lease ends. If you're considering moving here: read every single parking and towing complaint first -- especially since we did that and still underestimated how bad it really is. The "free" spots are a trap, paid ones are overpriced, and when you need help, you get rudeness and a template apology instead of solutions.

The garage is nearly 1/3 full with items from my previous 1100 SF apartment that I cannot fit into this one and I had NO storage area there. My bookcases had to be placed in front of the ONE heating element downstairs. "You can heat the downstairs with the gas fireplace. It's cheaper anyway," Owner stated.

Yes, there are some structural issues, but the complex has had a chance to settle, and things like this happen. There are no amenities, like a fitness center or a pool or a theater, gym or community computers. I'm fine with that. I don't need it. I like that fact that it is QUIET here. No loud music is allowed on the property at any time. You actually see the manager out and about walking the property. It is clean. There is no trash just laying around. There are no loud screaming kids. There is no window-rattling car stereos. This has been nothing but a pleasant experience for the two of us, and I am happy...no, WE are ecstatic living here.
