    Renting at Central Park East versus owning a condominium.... No question that living at Central Park East is far greater than owning a condominium somewhere else. The location, community, and high quality living conditions are worth the cost of renting.

    We recently moved into Central Park East Apartments, and it has already been such a wonderful experience! The location is excellent—safe and convenient—and the management team has been incredibly welcoming and supportive. The amenities are fantastic, and the friendly, kind neighbors have made us feel right at home with their warm communication. Even though it’s only been two days, it’s so relaxing and comforting to be part of the Central Park East Apartments family. We’re excited to call this ...

    Living in Central Park East has generally been a positive experience. The location is excellent, with easy access to the highway, which makes daily life much more convenient. The apartment itself is quite comfortable, with a layout that makes good use of the space and allows for good air circulation and natural light. A recent positive change has been the update to the locker entrance, which has improved access and functionality. However, one area that still needs attention in my opinion is ...
    security. Although the neighborhood is peaceful, we have had issues with stolen packages. As a suggestion, installing security cameras would further enhance security and provide greater peace of mind for all residents.

    New management took over last year. Painting, carpet, general repairs made to common areas and hallways. They use a better quality of suppliers providing outsourced services like janitorial, landscaping and snow removal. Apartments in decent shape. Clean and painted on move in. Pest free. Quite residents. Slightly expensive but slightly above average quality and amenities.
