The Edition On Oberlin

Lived at this complex for 2 years and absolutely loved it. We were the first people to live in/lease our unit. The units are very quiet and block a lot of the noise from neighbors. It was pleasantly surprising to be able to hear our neighbors in the hallways but not at all once entering our unit. The designs of the units are also great, with very nice appliances and large windows with lots of natural light. The amenities are also fantastic and the leasing office staff were always extremely friendly, efficient, and helpful, answering emails and requests right away. A great location to live if you are looking to be near downtown Raleigh but want to feel as if you are in a residential area. Very sad to leave!

You can't beat the location - within walking distance to so many shops and restaurants in Village District, easy walk to Pullen Park, and not far from Glenwood South/Downtown area. It's a newer building so the amenities still feel brand new, especially the gym and lounge area. The apartments are very quiet. I'm always surprised when I can hear my neighbors music while in the hallway, but don't hear anything once I step into my apartment. The new management team is great at hosting events for residents. They even provide breakfast or lunch on Friday's for everyone. Marie and the rest of the office team are great and easy to work with!

One of the best apartments I have lived in!! Loved the area and that it was walking distance into Cameron Village and to classes on State's campus. I noticed some of the other people talking about pet charges but I didn't experience anything like this with my dog upon moving out. The staff here were super helpful and nice from my original tour up to when I moved out. Great people and great area. If I could have stayed in Raleigh I would keep living here.

Since the day we moved-in, we have found cockroaches in our unit. Moreover, the day we moved-in, we found a giant dead cockroach in the halls of the complex. We have been living here for more than three months and the roaches are still here, in our unit and in the complex. Just in our unit, we have probably found ~50 cockroaches. Property management and the previous pest control company did not show the correct amount of care that was needed to deal with this situation. Our experience living here has been defined by fighting with those creatures. We have been finding them everywhere; the living room, the kitchen, the sofa, the sink, the balcony, the bathroom, the main entrance. That has implied constant complaints to property management, which clearly have not worked, a permanent burden on our mental health for fighting roaches everywhere in our home, and the economic cost associated with sprays, baits, sticky traps. On that regard, we, the tenants, although this is the responsibility of the landlord, have tried everything; four different brands of sprays, three different brands of baits, a good amount of sticky traps. Ironically, the landlord charges a monthly pest control fee. That they have kept charging every month. We have reported this issue to the property management company (The Preiss Company) several times since we moved-in. We are tired and extremely dissatisfied with the level of service, the sanitary conditions, and the level of hygiene that this apartments complex has. Preiss offers these buildings as if they were a luxury multifamily complex, our experience here has been subpar and well below the expectations of such offering. After living here for more than three months and if I had to define The Edition On Oberlin with one word, that word would be: Cockroaches.

Initially, my boyfriend and I were super excited to move here - its an awesome location, and the complex was a Greystar property at the time (we love Greystar). Within the first year of our lease, however, the property switched hands and unfortunately, our experience has gone downhill ever since. There have been multiple safety issues with several exterior doors (which are supposed to be secure and accessed via fob) remaining broken for days, weeks, even months at a time, allowing anyone to access the building at any time, or preventing residents from accessing or exiting the building via the broken door altogether. Broken glass also sat in the stairwell next to the parking garage for weeks - a hazard to residents and their pets. Additionally, theres a lack of basic, regular upkeep of the property. This large hole (located on the left wall leading into the common area) has been here for weeks. Theres always something funky going on with lighting in the halls. The carpeting throughout the building has become stained and dingy, the walls are heavily scuffed, and a lot of the equipment in the gym has begun to malfunction (like the treadmills). Some of the people in the office are very nice and helpful, but I would still heavily suggest to anyone looking at apartments in the area to consider any other property/options. My boyfriend and I both think that you can get much better value for the price and a true luxury experience elsewhere, where management will take initiative in keeping the property both safe and clean
