    I Like it Here!

    now named The Edge. I really like it here. The claim it is on "The Edge of the city" The management is responsive and reasonable. Other residents are good neighbors (some idiots, but there are idiots everywhere).ā€¦Ā See More >

      Chnged it's name to "EDGE", so beware of that one.

      This place changed it's name to "EDGE", so be wary if you encounter a place by that name. It's the same building with the same issues.ā€¦Ā See More >

        WRONG Community!

        I was reading this past review and I think that they must have the wrong place. For one the current manager has been at Somerset for over 3 years and I find her very nice and always in the office, some times even after officeā€¦Ā See More >

                    security deposit is a "donation", no repairs
