Forest Edge Apartments

located in a small neighborhood called Strawberry Farms. It is mostly residential with a few apartment complexes and good sidewalks. It is definitely safe. I’ve had no issues with sketchy business or excessive noise. I love that Forest Edge Apts is so close to Easton, the highway, and a few metro parks. The units are not modern, which I am okay with. I live in a studio which is a great starter place for me. It is minimal and basic, but comfortable. I have not been in the 1BR or 2BR units. The laundry facilities is well maintained. There have been a few machines out of order but not very often. Also, I like that there is a dog park even though I do not have an animal. Overall, 5 stars for a great year living at Forest Edge Apartments!

downside, if you're seeking something modern or spacious, and/or have kids, this may not be a fit. The units are circa late 1970. While current management is refreshing units as tenants come and go, they cannot fix the design, which can leave you cramped - especially a small kitchen with a one-tub sink, little counter space, no dishwasher, and a very small stove for cooking. You do feel like you're on top of one another. Also, a prospective tenant may wish to consider enrolling in an electric bill budget. There is no central air, and the motel-style heating/AC wall unit will not reach the entire apartment, especially the kitchen and bedroom, potentially leading to high seasonal electric bills. The water heater is also a half-unit, not full-sized, and can be hard-pressed to support a multi-person living arrangement. This is not the worst place to live, but not the best place, and your life situation alone will tell you if an apartment here is worth considering or not.

to the outside and it is not even on the hinges. Just falls off when you touch it. I can see the area under the foundation through this door and there's nothing but dirt and I'm sure this is a major source for bugs. I told the leasing office about this the day I moved in, it was never fixed. I told them about the bugs, no exterminator was sent. I truly do not like bugs which is why prior to signing the lease I asked if there were any problems. Obviously I was lied to. I had to spend my own money to buy home defense bug spray but it doesn't seem to be working. I also had to spend my own money for an intense carpet cleaning bc it had a very strong odor of cat urine when I moved in. I'm really disgusted. I wish I had spent more time looking for a better apartment.

are a lot of parks for example, blendon and sharon woods metro park which are within 10 minutes by driving.

grownup and deal with it professionally and face to face with management.. We have good neighbors and it's a safe, quite place. Ya I get it, you want upgrades but don't like the rental price then move.. As for the roaches we had them bad, but once management changed who they have to treat our units we have had two roaches in 6 months, it takes time when switching management for things to get on a schedule. Please remember, we all have had to one way or the others start fresh, so does management... So I would like to thank the F.E.A management for a safe, friendly environment... Your tenant, Merrideth

apartments from time to time. It's just the nature of apartments. They have been super-prompt in fixing work requests, often on the same day. One time I was locked out and they were able to get me unlocked within 20 minutes. I've had lightbulb issues and they even installed them for me because I'm a big klutz sometimes. People say renting is hard--you are at the mercy of the landlord, etc. But in this case, it's also about maintaining good relationships with maintenance and landlord--they were fair to me when my lease was up and helped me renew it. It really is like being part of a team. Even though I miss Cleveland sometimes, I now call Columbus home. And unlike my hometown Brownies, the Buckeyes, and, most importantly, Forest Edge Apartments, make me feel proud to be part of the community. GO BUCKS!

disposal. So they were too cheap to replace. And if you have a phobia of bugs don't live here. Bugs always find a way in! Centipedes, stink bugs and ants all year around! When the sun is shining towards my door, you can see some crack where lights comes through, not cool. Now don't get me wrong the new landlord is actually very nice, who knows what improvements she will make since last management was terrible! So terrible that my last landlord typed up my lease and it stated my lease ended on 2-29-2017. Guess what, that date doesn't exist. And lastly, maintenance is very nice and polite however not very good. My sink was leaking and a part needed replaced, so they took used parts (from other empty units) and used it on my sink. I have an ugly stained used faucet and worst part he put my sink in crooked.. Yup, i can't make something like that up!

beautiful trees and grassy areas. The complex is in a neighborhood of houses and other apartments. Lastly, the location is fantastic; 161 is just a few streets away, there is a beautiful park in the neighborhood with an extensive biking trail, and it's 15 minutes away from Easton.
