Do not believe the hype
Many of the 5 star reviews are from people who obviously do not live at Waters Edge-- they were left before complex was actually leasing apartments. I have lived here for several months and am disappointed in multiple areas:
-Design and finishes: The finishes (Carpentry, appliances, light fixtures, paint, etc.) are on the cheaper end and the execution is poor. The choices made during construction keep Waters Edge from being a true "luxury" apartment. From the vinyl floors, cheap washer/dryer,… unfinished carpentry and more, Waters Edge is average.
-Management: While new constructions are notorious for having "kinks", I have had an issue with almost every appliance in the residence. What makes matters worse is the delay in having these issues addressed or corrected. The people working in the front office are very nice, but overall the office lacks structure and organization. Many of my complaints are met with a shoulder shrug...
-Amenities: Any "luxury" complex should come with basic amenities-- a pool, gym, covered parking and community room at least. I was assured that all of these features were under construction and would be available within months . Now that I am a resident and my balcony overlooks the proposed site for the pool/gym, I can see that NO PROGRESS has been made in the past 2 months-- not luxury
Waters Edge is billed as "urban luxury riverfront residences", but the truth is that it leaves a lot to be desired...Review from Apartments.com
