University Edge Youngstown - Student housing center in Youngstown - 351 Lincoln Ave, USA

Living at University Edge has been the greatest experience of my entire life. The new 2023 staff is amazing, Kacie (property manager) is super nice and super easy to work with, they are all so kind and funny and they give me free stuff! so I would highly recommend checking it out!

I have had the pleasure of living at the University Edge for the past 3 years of my life and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the moment I moved in I knew I had made the right decision. The staff here are unbelievably nice and make sure that we are all enjoying it here to the fullest. I don't feel like I am just renting an apartment, but truly finding a home.

Love this place! I love how everyone has their own bathrooms. We love the free things they give away all the time! Renewing for the rest of my college career!

Please take the time to read this. I have never written a review on anything before, but I feel passionate enough about this to write one. Do not sign a lease with the Edge. Not only are the facilities not kept up with, but the management absolutely does not have the tenants best interests as a priority. Outside of the apartment units, the elevators do not work the majority of the time. When you press the button, it either takes 5 minutes to get to you or it doesn't come at all. The hallways make you feel like you are walking through Hogwarts. Nothing but gloomy, dark, and depressing. The walls are chipped, paint missing everywhere, things stolen and missing from the walls, etc. The floors and the elevators don't smell very good and are always cluttered with broken glass, paper, and other garbage. There is a leak right outside of the front door from the Rayan Ave. side that drips on you each time you walk in. Inside the units, the garbage disposal is broken every other week, the thermostat won't stay on the temperature you set it to, and the interiors are missing chairs, furniture that is in good condition, and lights that stay on when you turn them on (seriously). I think perhaps the worst thing about the Edge is its management team and its managing agent, Costal Ridge Real Estate Partners, LLC. They don't make living here feel like home at all. They don't give you mail or packages on time. It's taken me over a week in the past to find a letter that was sent weeks prior because the mail system is terrible. They lose track of your packages at the front office and don't notify you when you have received one. Additionally, they address me in apartment A when the room they assigned me to upon check in was D, which is where I reside. On the financial end, these apartments are NOT worth $750 a month in any way. There is no flexibility with your payments, i.e. you cannot use a date that is convenient for you. When you are waiting on the payment system to process and it doesn't process in time, you are charged a $50 late fee that is not removable. This happened to me; I linked my bank account information and the system informed me it would be 24 hours to verify. I emailed the front office and explained the situation, and they didn't respond to my email. So, I called them, to which they were unpleasant and unwilling to understand my situation. As the demographic here is students, it's a real punch in the face when where you live meets financial struggles with added fees. It just doesn't make sense. They then bombard you with emails, phone calls, and letters on your door until the payment is made in full. I understand that payments need to be made and made on time, but when it is a time-based aspect of the payment system, they could be more understanding. I understand that the local management team works for the parent company, and that they are not the issue. It is the parent company and their failure to provide a community that feels like HOME to the renter. And, that is instilled in their management. It is extremely unfortunate that this is the case. I will not be signing a lease with the Edge again. If you can avoid it, stay away at all costs. Do not consider living here. It is not worth the financial trouble and unpleasantness of living here.

Great facilities with great management! People in the office are always friendly and available to help and answer questions! Also really close to campus, making it easy to get to class!

The nicest apartments on campus! Very spacious and wonderful having so many utilities!!

Called the edge home for almost 3 years now, wouldn’t change a thing! Great place to live with great staff.

Great property and the building staff is amazing all the way from maintenance to the front desk❗️
