I moved to Waters Edge Apartments 4 years ago. Its very nice and close to downtown Whitewater but away from all the college noise. Its very quiet and peaceful here. The apartments are part of a subdivision with homes so the neighborhood is also quaint. Rent includes water, internet and TV so its very reasonable if you add in what these would costs. I park in the underground so I never had an issue with parking and its great for when its snowy outside and the weather is not good. As long as I have my job in the area, I will continue to live here.

Probably the worst place to live. 0/5 - Expensive and overpriced - Management is lazy - Got charged for every little incident - Took a crap load from my deposit (only stayed there for 6 months and everything was like the same day i moved in), only got about $50 back - They tell you a bunch of lies to get you to sign with them - Hollow walls, can hear everything - Parking sucks - Quiet area - Dog trail full of dog poop that tenants are supposed to pick up but they don't. - Random "check-ups", more like trying to find mess ups to have reasons to kick you out. - Had our floor cleaned by cleaners and still got charged for unclean floors... wtf. DON'T DO IT!

Do I have to give it a star?? I will reiterate that high rent is annoying when you actually think you're paying for quality. I have been living here for the past few months and also as stated before when there is a problem you'd be a lucky person to get ahold of anyone to hear and register the issue. We've been without internet for 3 days, and since I can't get ahold of the building manager (straight to voicemail) this problem will continue indefinitely, which is, obviously, great! Waters Edge Apartments MISLEADS customers into thinking they are renting upscale apartments. We had german cockroaches in the first week of moving in, which is also great. I wont even tell you the story of when we first had to move in and then move again a month later to a different unit because they messed up and failed to communicate anything to us until a day before we were to get our keys. My room, which is the master bedroom of one of the units, is right above the automatic garage door and is unbearably loud every time a vehicle enters or exits the complex! Where one lives should be a haven from the stressful events in one's life; it should certainly not add to that existing stress.

Just found this too!!! A different review that wasn't posted here...so I thought I would repost. These are very nice apartments, considering what else is for rent in Whitewater. However, be wary of dealing with this company. I rented with this right after the apartments opened. Security deposit was one month's rent, but the apartment was brand new. They make you pay for their cable, internet and phone service--you can't opt out of them and you can't get it from a different vendor. Originally, you could opt out of the services, but eventually they became bundled with the rent, and so my rent payment went up. Over the three years I lived there, the response the management gave me became more and more awful. I couldn't get a hold of anyone, and my questions weren't answered in a timely manner. I think the management of my apartment switched from one employee to another, but I was never told. I tried to get my toilet seat fixed after it cracked--it took two months for someone to contact me and say that the parts were finally in and they would be over to fix it. Over the last six months I lived there, no one cleaned the common areas, though I complained about it several times--dirt and garbage and snow removal salt piled up in the foyer; there were popcorn kernels all over the stairs to the underground parking. People let they dogs go to the bathroom in the small grassy area and would not be fined or punished, according to the lease. Children who lived in the area would leave toys and papers all over the place, and no one would pick them up. People would park in the handicapped parking spots, and there would be no legal ramifications, as indicated in the lease agreement. When I needed to leave the apartment, I was only refunded $152.00 of my original $745 paid security deposit. I have *never* in my 8 years of renting not received my entire security deposit back (at least four apartments in various areas.) I was a quiet tenant, always paid my rent on time, and there was no major damage to the apartment. I lived in the apartment for a little over three years, so there was some general wear and tear--some carpet stains, etc--, but nothing that would have cost $500+. They charged me $40 for replacing drip pans. I and four other people cleaned the apartment for three hours before I moved out--I was stilled charged $50 for general cleaning. They also refused to do a walk-though inspection at the end of my rental period--I was told they don't do that. If you choose to rent from these people, INSIST upon a walk through so so don't get screwed over like I did. BOTTOM LINE: wonderful apartments, as long as you don't care about being screwed over by the management.
