Comprehensive Review of the Edison

★★★★★

3/8/22

Coming up on the end of my time at the Edison I thought I'd detail the best and worst parts of living in this building in hopes it will help those looking for a Richmond apartment. Overall my experience has been quite positive.

The best:
1. The actual apartment- I absolutely LOVE my apartment itself. The layout is unique (I have a loft bedroom), with high ceilings, lovely features like granite countertops, floor to ceiling windows, and a spacious living area.
2. The amenities- the gym, yoga... studio, lounge, common patios, and movie theatre are very nice to have in the building and are always kept clean and in mostly working order.
3. The staff- I've always had positive experiences with the leasing office and the maintenance staff is fantastic. They have fixed any and all issues I have had within 24 hours.

The Worst:
1. The parking garage- To be totally fair, the garage is managed by an outside provider so these issues are not totally the Edison's fault. The garage is full of horribly tight spaces and turns, terrible parking jobs, ONLY has access to the building on the 6th floor, and is $110/month which is rather expensive for Richmond. Additionally, two floors of spaces are "reserved" for a VCU partnership so be prepared to go to the top of the 8 floor garage if you're coming home from work.
2. The location- If you work downtown, you might love the location! However, for myself as a recent college grad I was looking for walking distance to night life and restaurants. There is some of this around, but not a lot so driving and Ubering is your new best friend. If you're looking for what I was in a location, I'd recommend looking in Scott's Addition or the Fan.
3. Storage space- Within my apartment, the storage is lacking. There is no coat closet, no drawers in the bathroom (only the under the sink cabinet), and the washer/dryer closet has no storage space. In the kitchen, drawers are really tiny. There are quite a few cabinets, but only high up so the configuration of your stuff was bothersome.

Again, overall I really did enjoy my time at the Edison. For me, the positives did outweigh the negatives and I would recommend this building to anyone looking for a reasonably priced and wonderful place to live.

I live at The Edison for one year and have nothing, but positive experience!
Very quiet and well maintained building. The neighbors are very respectful, which makes this place very peaceful.
The location is amazing as well and close to everything you need!
Would stay longer, but have to move after graduation.
Best of luck!

Extremely terrible service. Construction all through the stay at home/work from order. They don't care at all about customer satisfaction or being accommodating to residents. They enter your apartment without notice whenever they want. Terrible staff now.

Pros:
location. downtown with all its pluses and minuses. very to close to capital park and the hospital. plently places to eat. not loud, which is pleasant surprise.
fair prices. had a studio in downtown and they only minimally raised the prices through my 3 years. had a in unit washer and dryer that worked great.
basement gym: easy to access, well equipped gym that pre-covid was my goto workout spot
common areas. many common areas on most floor and a clubhouse on bottom floor. mostly free to... use and they had fun gathering events. wifi available at all these spots. great for studying.
Cons:
most units are without openable windows. thats a richmond thing. but the windows are large so it did no bother me
no maintenance on the weekend.
some surprise add on fees. like for receiving packages they secured them in a mail room and you had to pay a fee for this service.

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 an issues with crime) and well... maintained. An easy 10-minute walk to the medical center and you get to walk through the capital. I rarely drove because of this. I was able to easily rent out the lounge or movie theater for events. The gym was great as well as the yoga room. All supplies in the gym were well maintained and worked properly. My apartment was very modern and whenever I had issues, the maintenance team was quick to respond and solve my issue.
Overall rating: 10/10

Office Manager (Camarin): Camarin was the best office manager someone could ask for. I originally lived in California and I had to apartment shop over the phone. She was patient and honest with how my apartment looked and how the facility ran when she spoke to me over the phone. When I flew into Richmond and saw my apartment (already purchased) everything she said was true. She was the definition of customer services, professionalism, and humanism. She was always welcoming and available. She addressed all of my concerns promptly. Because of her, my move out of the facility was smooth as butter. While Camarin was running the facility, all of my co-residents also noticed and felt we were in good hands. I would hire her to run my company if I could.
Overall rating: 10/10

Maintenance Team (Kyle and Vince): Both of these gentlemen were very kind and welcoming. The best crew money “Can’t” buy. Whenever I had a maintenance issue they were quick and professional. Over the years I was able to get to know them and they are genuinely humble and hardworking human beings. Their customer service exceeded my expectations and if I had a company I would hire them in a heart beat.
Overall rating: 10/10

Summary: I would recommend the Edison Apartments to anyone. You will enjoy your time there especially if you are a young professional.
