The Edge

Amazing views, great amenities. Perfect location right on the waterfront in front of the ferry. New owner– no complaints and very satisfied.

If anyone is considering The Edge in Williamsburg, there has been a huge problem with the grass area behind the building, and this morning the building had three thugs intimidate and chase off my wife, a lady who lives in their building and their tiny dogs!
From what I have been told, that is a public space, but now The Edge is threatening people and putting up chains and signs to keep people out.
The Edge is ruining what Brooklyn is supposed to be about, and I would never support a company that acts like this. If you are looking to buy or live in this area, please consider a more family and dog friendly place.

I have spent a lot of time in this building visiting a friend who lives there. And for a while I considered buying an apartment here. Here’s the unfortunate secret to this building that I discovered — cheap construction. You can clearly hear noises from one apartment to the other. One friend of mine lives next to a couple who both speak loudly, and she can hear everything through the wall: conversations, arguments, laughing, sex. The building management has been unresponsive to her requests to address the situation. She is frequently kept awake at night from sounds coming from next door. A word of advice before buying an apartment in this building: hang out outside the building and ask residents if they have a problem with noise from their neighbors. Most won’t want to admit there is a problem, because they don’t want the value of their apartments to depreciate. But maybe you’ll get some honest people telling you of their own experiences. If you’re lucky, you would live next to a very quiet single person who never has visitors. But from my firsthand experience over the last two years, it is indeed a problem that is being discussed with urgency by the residents of the Edge.

Baller. Park and pier in front are both awesome too. Need to work on their advertising. Yikes.

I don’t live here (that would require winning the lottery I never play) but I did take a tour of the buildings last year. Wow. This isn’t so much an apartment complex as it is a luxury hotel to live in. Common rooms devoted to playing Wii, a landscaped pool with a heated stone walkway around it, massage chairs in the locker rooms, mini movie theater lounges, indoor basketball courts, floor to ceiling windows in the apartments. I can’t wrap my brain around it honestly.

And now for the part that anyone can enjoy, regardless of income;)
I have discovered that the pier they have built out in the front of the building and the landscaped park area in the front near the water is THE place to be at night during a heatwave.
There’s an unobstructed, breath taking view of the skyline and all sorts of people enjoying the breeze near the water. There are people walking their dogs, people playing guitar, people fishing from the pier. Old people, young people, tourists, hipsters, families, all just enjoying the night. Its really nice. It’s also so much cooler when you walk out onto the pier.
It’s a really beautiful spot. One of my new favorites actually;)

«WHOA. Those buildings look really cool. Those apartments probably get the best view of the Manhattan skyline! «
Those were the thoughts that went through my head when I saw the Edge buildings while at a show at the waterfront last Summer.
Lucky for me, a friend just purchased a 1-​bedroom apartment in the building, so I got to check it out the other day.
His apt is extremely spacious! High ceilings, huge living room area, a porch, office, gigantic fridge, large bathtub, washer & dryer, etc. Not to mention everything is very modern and sleek looking. The view of the skyline can be seen from his living room and porch, it is wonderful.
I was told that the building has the following amenities: indoor pool, gym, sauna, and game room… but I am probably missing a couple things.
Overall I was extremely impressed with this place. I am so jealous of my friend! It’s only 3 blocks from the Bedford Ave stop. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about is the front desk service. The man wasn’t unfriendly, but he didn’t seem too happy to be there.
