The Edgecliff Private Residences

I rented here for 2 years and then bought 1 year ago. Love the building all around. Great location, great management, great resident community. I am a young professional and my boyfriend, dog and I are happy we chose the ‘Cliff as our little family’s starter home!

I don’t know what the Edgecliff looked like before Ruthie became the Manager, however she has transformed these apartments into fabulous living environments. The apartments I looked at were beautifully appointed, the atmosphere with the lobby, 24 hour security, fitness center, beauty/​spa salon, and restaurant all on the premises makes this a first class building to live in. The residents are all professionals from musicians to doctors which makes for a vibrant environment.

We moved into the Edgecliff 7 months ago and absolutely love it. I love being in Eden Park. It has made me much more active. We are 3 minutes from downtown and 12 minutes to the airport. The building staff is very nice and helpful and the amenities are quite good, including the gym. The views are spectacular!

As others have mentioned this place is HORRIBLY managed.
I lived here for a few years and the management was horrible. When I moved out I reserved my licensed movers and the elevator. Then the building management took it upon themselves to call my movers and reschedule because he decided he wanted to leave early that day so he needed the movers to be done with the elevator earlier. When my movers called and told me this I was furious.
When I contacted management they said they were going to change my elevator time (from what I reserved and confirmed) to earlier whether I liked it or not and if I wasn’t done by then they would turn the elevator off anyway.
DO NOT RENT FROM THIS BUILDING!
Update: The management responded to this review and stated their building requirements for licensed and insured movers. They ignored that I had already reserved the elevator. Their requirements did not address that I had been approved to use the elevator at a specific time and he contacted my movers directly to change my time because he wanted to leave early that day.

Stay away from it! I’m currently a tenant here and you can hardly find a place worse managed. Rundown apartments, problematic heating system, and bold, impolite staff. I consider myself a dimwit for LEASING here, can’t imagine who would BUY these!

We spent a lot of time here because we knew someone who lived in the building. As a visitor, we weren’t big fans of the building. Parking can be very tight at times. I also hate having to sign in and be given permission to go up through a doorman. Its a hassle and feels like an invasion of privacy. (Though I will say that the doormen were all incredibly nice!)
On the other hand the units are beautiful, though tiny. Its really all about the views here. The patios are spacious and, depending on your unit, your view could be of the whole river and downtown.
The location is nicely located within walking distance of Eden Park and Mt. Adams, but is also very much on the edge of not-​so-​nice neighborhoods.
From what we could tell, the building was very well-​maintained. The people who live there all seemed to be nice and noise was never an issue (at least in the unit we were in).
Our friends did have problems with plumbing on multiple occasions. The unit above them had problems with their toilet and it led to leakages down in our friends unit. But, from what I know, the building’s maintenance staff dealt with the issue quickly.
If you are looking for a view, this is the place to live. If the view isn’t that important to you, I would move downtown.

The Edgecliff apartments are something that are worth missing out on. Aside from the gorgeous entrance and hallways the apartments that were there to rent resembled something out of a horror movie scene. Old appliances, flooring, little closet space, overall a definite waste of time!!!
The had one apartment that I would have considered renting but it was for sale. The Realtor only showed it to us to show us how we can change the old dingy apt she was trying to pawn on us into something respectable (they were trying to sell it for .5Mil– are you kidding me!
