Neighborhood

★★★★☆ Aug 28, 2025

Great lakefront location

The location near the lakefront trail is genuinely wonderful. Easy access to the beach in summer, running paths year-round. Edgewater is a diverse, walkable neighborhood with good restaurants and transit.

Good: Lakefront access, walkable, diverse
Bad: Street parking can be tough

Pest Control

★☆☆☆☆ Oct 5, 2025

Roach problem never fully resolved

Despite multiple treatments over 8 months, cockroaches keep coming back. Management brings in exterminators quarterly but it is clearly a building-wide issue that needs more aggressive treatment. Very frustrating.

Good: Management does schedule exterminators
Bad: Problem never fully resolved, recurring roaches

Repairs & Responsiveness

★★☆☆☆ Nov 12, 2025

Maintenance requests take weeks

Submitted a work order for a leaking faucet and it took 3 weeks for someone to come out. When they did, the fix was temporary. Had to submit again a month later. Emergency requests are faster but anything non-urgent gets backlogged.

Good: Emergency repairs are timely
Bad: Non-urgent repairs take 2-3 weeks, temporary fixes
Current tenant · 6-12 months
