Author: Medical Student who Lived here for 4 years. I LOVED IT Authors info: Medical Student. Lived at The Edison Apartments from 2015-2019. I left the facility because I had to relocate to a different state for residency training. Facility: If I didn't have to relocate I would have continued to live at this place. I lived in the tower. My neighbors were other young health care professionals, which made for a great environment. There were plenty of study spaces available. The place was quiet, very clean, very safe (never had... read more

Cheaters Do not go for this apartment at any cost. They just want to extract money from you. One of the worst services you can imagine. They did not even show me an apartment and started bothering me with phone calls to pay for processing charges. They are more pressed on dollars then actually focusing on ensuring loyalty of customers through good service.

Pretty Disappointed so far... but this is the honest detailed truth. POSITIVES" 1. Location- I walk to work and there are so many restaurants and activities to do all within walking distance 2. Parking Garage (see below few places with downtown living parking ($100 a month) 3. Apartment design is unique 4. If you're in the Annex building (VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU SIGN A LEASE!!) you might be able to get a patio area outside -I have one for my dogs 5. 24 hour gym, movie theatre, club room, trash chute, conference roo... read more

Can't wait to move out! Few pros, many cons. Pros: Neighborhood: restaurants, cafés, small shops, banks, parks are in walking distance. Good location for public transportation. Amenities: great gym, movie theater and bike storage/repair room, club room. Apartment: our 2 bedroom/2 bathroom flat is very spacious. Huge living room with hardwood floors, bedrooms are big enough for king size beds, a lot of storage space and big walk-in closets. Kitchen appliances in good condition, washer/dryer work well. No issues with plumbing ... read more

The sooner the lease is up, the better Apartment is nice, but not the best quality and certainly over-priced, very expensive in comparison to other apartments nearby. There does not seem to be any equity in what is charged. Trash shutes and patios have been closed for months, due to renovation. No end in sight. Multiple management teams within a year. There seems to be no organization or communication between on-site manager and higher management. Had some issues with vandalism, more security cameras should be installed in t... read more

Dont waste your time The management is awful and careless. They have been conducting renovations since I moved in. Trash chutes have not been fixed. Sidewalks are blocked off. Maintenance says they will come to an emergency in 15 minutes, but took an hour. The elevator takes you to different floors, other than what you press. More than half of the spots are reserved for VCU. The printer never has ink/is always broken. "Free" wifi in community areas is really bad. Just poor quality apartments.

Pay more, get less I pay more then in my previos flat but get less. No pool, no community event, no trash shute. Package service is a bad joke. Flat doesn,t look like in the pictures. VCU is close this is the only good thing.

Not worth it I've lived her for a couple of years and the only good thing left is maintenance. Vince and Kyle are wonderful and always willing to help any way possible, especially one reoccurring issues which is pretty much the only thing that kept me here for so long. Management has changed many times and the new people do not make any effort what so ever to get to know old tenants at this location. They charge a fine for every little thing you do wrong. Parking costs $100 a month and it's super hard to find parking during ... read more
