The Edge

I feel that my apartment could have been cleaned better. I also think the leasing office is understaffed and could benefit from hiring more employees.

THE MODEL APARTMENT IS NOTHING LIKE WHAT YOU GET. If you like mold on the walls, roaches (not just in the kitchen), old /​broken furniture, ²⁴⁄₇ maintenance that never comes (even if u have a flood because they were too cheap to buy a new fridge that was clearly broken), a decade old AC system in every apartment, then you’ll love living here.

WARNING STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!
This has got to be the worst living arrangements I’ve ever seen in my life. Don’t be fooled by the great looking pictures and pool it’s awful. The rooms sucks and the management is even worse. My roommate and i’s apartment was unsuccessfully broken into and when the lock was broken i tried to ask management to fix it. Three months later it was never done. They don’t care about you and or your safety. Just listen to every bad review on here and stay away!!!

The worst place to live. Management does not take the students serious when they have maintenance issues. They are very quick to asses fees for everything they can think of, but your student will have to continue to complain and parents will need to get involved to have any issue resolved. I dealt with management since the beginning until a couple of months before my student left. We only signed for 1yr and that was too long, my student couldn’t wait to get out!
As a parent, I highly suggest other parents who care not to consider this place at all for their student.
I never had to deal with this type of situation with my other student. Of course they did not live at The Edge.

If I could give zero stars I would. The front office is rude and unprofessional. I walked in one day where five people where working and I had to wait a good 10 minutes for them to finish a conversation among themselves about the night before. The apartments are disgusting, drugs everywhere, and trash. The washer and dryer barely work and there’s mold everywhere. The kitchen is outdated and something breaks everyday. Also they have a no pet policy but everyone has pets even the office workers, and when you report the pets they do nothing about it. It’s way overpriced for the piece of shit the place actually is. Would rather live at campus crossings than this.

What a disaster! If you like Rave Parties, underage drinking, and illegal drug use, then this is the place for you. If you are a student looking for a place to actually study and not witness drug deals at gun point then don’t bother even looking here. Incompetent staff and obviously run by a slum lord. If the management/​ownership had any integrity, they would hire ²⁴⁄₇ guards to patrol the area.

It’s been eight months since my last review, and now that I’ve moved out, it’s time for an update.
Where to start…
The Good:
I love the shuttle. It comes around frequently and it takes less than ten minutes to get to campus (with light traffic). How sweet is that? And you can avoid the drama of finding a parking space too — SCORE.
The landscaping is almost always well-​maintained; plants are taken care of and walkways are kept clean. The maintenance guys drive around every morning to pick up garbage, so most evidence of late-​night parties are usually gone.
I always felt relatively safe. There were a few break-​ins around the complex during the year and I heard rumors of guys walking around the parking lot checking doors to see if they were unlocked, but overall, I never felt endangered walking from my car to my apartment late at night/​early in the morning. Just be vigilant.
Staff has definitely improved since my last review — I haven’t had any memorable bad instances with them.
The Bad:
The basketball court is almost never empty. If you live near the courts, be prepared for the sounds of dribbling, squeaking shoes, and shouting almost 24 hours a day. Also, if you’re trying to study during a pool party — just leave. The noise is VERY loud and distracting.
On that note, parking sucks on party days especially. I bought a reserved spot and several times, people just parked there regardless. I couldn’t even have them towed because the tow company is completely unreliable (which is ironic, because the company was called ‘Reliable Towing’).
The furniture you see in the model apartment is NOT the furniture you get in your apartment. At least it wasn’t in mine. My furniture was significantly more dated; it was also uglier. My bed was uncomfortable and squeaked all the time; worse still, so did my upstairs neighbor — every time he had a «guest» over, I was made aware. –_​_​–
The OMGWTFBOO:
The printing lab might as well not exist for all the good it does — they have nice iMacs now, yes, but do they have a functioning printer? NO. It’s always jammed, or running low on ink, or out of toner, or just plain broken — how about you forget about the fancy show computers and just install a printer that does it’s job? Tip to future residents: Just go to the office directly and ask to print from there.
Be on top of your maintenance orders too. Because nothing will be taken care of until you’ve complained enough to turn your mouth blue. I had a couple of orders placed that were never taken care of – and they were placed waaaaay before I moved out (like three months?). One of which was a pest control problem. Gross. I don’t know if their online order system works or not, simply because of how long it takes for them to be taken care of.
Roach and bug problems. Nothing too severe, it’s not like I saw scurrying everytime I walked into the room, but it was there. One week, within three days, I killed three roaches. Ugh.

Random Note: Move out was easy for me, but I thought it was weird how they couldn’t give people change when they paid for their overages in cash.
