Waters Edge

Mishandling a mold situation then forcing people to suffer because of the incompetence of your management staff is unacceptable. My family has been on your property for less than a month, suffered property damage that understandably is not covered by renter’s insurance, been inconvenienced with medical bills because an issue with YOUR property and not being comfortable in a place they are paying for. An email has been sent and I expect this to be handled immediately! Sorry just isn’t going to cut it. You need to make this right. Very disappointed with this place!

I must start this review right off the bat, by saying I don’t live here. BUT, one of my co-​workers does, and I was sitting next to her desk the whole time she was apartment-​hunting. I even rode with her to take the initial tour of the place. That being said, I have visited this complex many times since, and I am completely blown away by both the location, and the quality of this property. My friend’s unit sits on the very edge of the perimeter, and overlooks the San Gabriel south branch – particularly the «Blue Hole» park and swimming spot. I think, were I to live in that particular apartment, I’d spend 90% of my time on that back balcony. It is peaceful, relaxing, and gorgeous.
She lives in a one-​bedroom, so I never got a chance to tour the 2-​bedroom layouts, but they have several floor plans for each. They all (I’m quite certain) have washer/​dryer hookups in the unit (oh, how I miss that), a nice spacious and user-​friendly kitchen, with dishwasher, plenty of cabinet space. The pool is awesome, and their fitness center is pretty well outfitted for a residential gym. The rent is a bit high-​end, but you do get what you pay for in this property.
I had to ding one star, however, for the incompetence in my friend’s securing one of these apartments. The office seemed to be run by a bunch of temps, and there was a lot of right hand/​left hand stuff going on. One temp would promise her this, then the other temp would say that apartment was no longer available. move-​in availability dates were switched around on her, and when she finally did lock in on an apartment – after like, being switched around three times – she ended up with not quite what she was promised. i can’t recall if it was a fireplace, or the flooring she’d asked for, or what. But I heard about this ordeal, and lived it through her at my desk, for three weeks! the aggravation and incompetence of the front office cost this property a star, but there’s no taking away from what a beautiful setting and environment this property does have.

I’ve lived at Waters Edge for about 7 months, had to relocate for a job and leave, I miss it! It is a great place, and their management is pretty good. No attitude, nice and polite people. They organize events now and then, and it gives you a chance to meet some of your neighbors. It is a bit more expensive than other places, but it’s definitely worth it. Also, it is located next to some very nice trails, movie theater, grocery stores, the location is good if you have to live near Georgetown :)

Unfortunately, we had a terrible experience with the manager. Her customer service skills were so bad that my daughter would not even consider living there. Unfortunately, there isn’t much else in Georgetown so she is moving to Round Rock. The leasing agents were nice, especially Stephen, but as soon as they get your money the nightmare begins! I couldn’t imagine living there and having to deal with Kimberlee if I needed anything.

Water’s Edge are the best apartments in Georgetown. I have lived here over a year and just signed a new lease. Yes, it is somewhat pricey compared to what can be had in the Austin area, but you get what you pay for. There is a great pool with stainless steel grills, a clubhouse with coffee and brunches offered regularly, a good gym, personal garages, great landscaping, curbside trash pick-​up, etc. I enjoy the wooded view from my expansive patio. Any maintenance issues are resolved within an hour, if not a few. Need I say more? You will not find better apartment/​condo style living anywhere near here.

First off, Georgetown doesn’t have the largest selection of apartments so in relative terms, it’s the best that Georgetown has to offer. During my year there, I had a few minor repair issues and one major one. The minor ones were fixed quickly and while the major one was completed (had to take out the cabinets in my bathroom and tear up the floor to fix some pipes), it took a few weeks and a couple of complaints on my part to get the job done completely. Now having said that, it was all done under the old management company; there is a new on in place now and they are much more attentive their renter’s needs.

Rent was a little pricy; a little over $ 900 for a two-​bedroom and that was even with a rent break! Can find better deals in Austin, but again, Georgetown doesn’t have any other apartment complex in the same range as Water’s Edge, so no competition.
The complex itself if fairly quiet and love the fact that a lot of the apartments over look the San Gabriel River; I would sit on my porch with the kiddos and watch the turtles chase the ducklings! Nice to wake up in the morning, have a cup of coffee and be so peaceful! Good mix of folks; everything from college students at Southwestern to retired couples. Safe as well; no incidents happened while I was living there.
When I moved out, the final walkthrough was completed quickly and my refund was sent without any fuss. I would definitely recommend the apartment complex and would live there again.

I lived at Water’s Edge Apartments for over two years. The apartments are great. The staff, to include maintenance, does a great job. The community is great and I never had any problems while I was there. Due to the location across the San Gabriel River, DirecTV is pretty much the only option for TV. The complex has a nice pool area and a workout room. The apartments themselves a great and I would recommend getting one with a view of the river.
