I liked living at Edgewater, but then I accepted a job relocation.In order to "Break" the lease, I paid TWO MONTHS ADDITIONAL RENT to the facility (in addition to my regular rent).Check the fine print...and then check it again.
The $2000.00 I had to pay to leave the facility was a shock.I could have also paid rent until the apartment was rented and occupied which was a huge gamble.If you move to another Equity Apartment Complex, you pay $300.00.
Unfortunetly, the closest Equity apartments were an hour drive from my new job.
If you want to pay a higher rent for a six month lease, it's a very expensive deal.I think the thousands of dollars I had to pay was more then excessive.I also have not received the security deposit refund.I'd really pick another place next time.It's just too expensive for Bakersfield...especially with the huge electrical towers on the property.The lakeside property is nice,but the lease conditions were really absurd....a very bad deal.

I had some retired 70 year old people move in near me a few years back. After unloading everything one little piece at a time for over a month, they were set up. Unfortunately, their half dead 18 year old dog was "too big" for the complex and they had to get rid of him or move out AND pay a $1200 fee. They chose the latter. What sucked is other tenants got away with having vicious breeds of dogs not allowed by management, and these two people had just barely gotten settled before they were ushered out, and they were ideal neighbors, never making noise and setting up plants, squirrel and bird feeders, etc. Unless you have a whole lot of money to throw away, I recommend you look at places other than Edgewater. They want one thing and one thing only, and that's your money. I got a house for $200 less per month than I was paying for an apartment, and it's in a much nicer area about 1/4 mile away. The new paint job, by the way (it IS new paint) looks like the color they use on low income housing projects, and the last time I was there earlier this winter I was appalled at the unkept yards, drained streams (they are always drained and always smell!) and the number of trees that were split in two and toppled over. The number of people coming and going under these corporate leases makes the place seem more like a transient hotel than some "upscale" living complex. Save your money and rent a house, where at least the landlords will work with you to move in and leave you in relative peace and not hound you twice a week with some new note on the door.
