The Edison Apartments

You Pay for the Location, Amenities are Lacking. The gym equipment is in dire need of replacement and the pool was closed all summer. My lease ended and it's been over 6 weeks and I'm still trying to get my security deposit back.

Bugs, pipes constantly freezing, electricity going out in every storm...this place is not built well at all. Management will never answer or return your calls, and parking is a mess. They think they can do whatever they want because of how close they are to the battery. FIND A PLACE THAT'S BETTER!!

Pros: The location. Honestly, you can't beat it. The Edison is right in between 75 and 285, so you can be anywhere in about 25 minutes.

Cons: I cannot stress enough just how long it takes for maintenance to come, if they come at all. My roommates and I have had massive leaks/floods over the past few years and they take WEEKS to come look at them. At one point we had a leak over our stove and it would floor the stove/oven any time someone showered. This was a clear electrical hazard and the... ceiling was starting to cave... someone came to look... never came back for weeks. We're talking a puddle of water an inch deep in our STOVE.

We also had a leak in our wall/floor boards that resulted in our dining room flooding every time it rained. This took months to get fixed. Our baseboards got so much water damage that they rotted all the way through, leaving a massive hole where we could actually stick our hand outside and touch dirt. Again, someone came to look but never came back. We had mold growing under our wood floors.... never got fixed. We were told it wouldn't be replaced until we moved out because it was considered an eyesore, not a necessity (yes, even with mold actively growing).

We had neighbors whose floor completely caved in to the unit below. They had a giant hole to the people below them, which was clearly unsafe, and they said it took 3 weeks for The Edison to even start taking care of it.

Bugs? You'll wait at least a month for someone to come spray.

But thank goodness they occasionally have events in the leasing office. That's definitely a better way to spend your rent than hiring more workers to make sure things get fixed.

The units are pretty at move-in, but after that you're on your own. Read More

I stayed here for a brief period, and it was quite nice! Juan Carlos was also really amazing, and helped make my stay amazing. Quite excellent.

I lived at Ashford 75 which changed its name to Edison at the Battery for three years. Do not rent an apartment here. These apartments were built in 1972 and it’s obvious. They have tried to “put lipstick on a pig” so to speak, but the structure is running down. My walls were cracking because water was seeping through the ground. I had black mold in the water heater closet and inside my bathrooms. They raised my rent by 1800 dollars by the time I left. If you have an issue like a garbage... disposal not working it will take over a week for them to do anything about it. The gym is small and so is the pool. Do not waste your money here. This place is seriously terrible, why rent an apartment here when there are nice apartments all around that have high ceilings, real wood floors, fantastic appliances, and better security that only cost 200 more dollars? I hope this apartment building gets razed, but it obviously won’t since it was built in 1972 and is owned by some greedy and indifferent corporation. Trust me, do not live here Read More
