    There are two elevators installed, but one has been out of order for a long time and cannot be used. Additionally, the shutter at the exit of the underground parking garage has also been broken for a long time, so we can only enter and exit through the entrance, which is very inconvenient. We would greatly appreciate it if these could be repaired as soon as possible.

    All thing’s considered, it’s been a great experience so far at Central Park East. Both Richard and Susan have made the leasing experience very easy. My apartment was clean and ready on time. Very nice grounds and everything looks very well kept. My only concern is a couple of the advertised amenities do not exist. These are the Outdoor Hot Tub and Nature/Fitness Trail. However, there are many other nice amenities here and it’s a very quiet and peaceful area.

    So far I would rate it very high except the 1 elevator has been out of service for the 1st 4 days that I have been here. Also the one wooden door could use a cleaning.

    Susan and Richard in the office have been so helpful with our move. The other residents have been really welcoming. The apartment is beautiful but a little smaller than we expected. I think we’re really going to be happy here.

    I’ve lived in several suburban apartment complexes, and CPE is by far the best one. It’s clean and quiet, which is great, but it’s more than that: Property management is top-notch, the maintenance guys are great (on the rare occasion you even need to call them) and we’ve had so many nice neighbors. We moved in with a plan to stay for two years, then we’d buy a house. But we’ve really enjoyed living here and it feels like home (except it’s basically maintenance-free) so we are coming up on 14 ...
    years with no plans to move anytime soon.

    Renting at Central Park East versus owning a condominium.... No question that living at Central Park East is far greater than owning a condominium somewhere else. The location, community, and high quality living conditions are worth the cost of renting.

    We recently moved into Central Park East Apartments, and it has already been such a wonderful experience! The location is excellent—safe and convenient—and the management team has been incredibly welcoming and supportive. The amenities are fantastic, and the friendly, kind neighbors have made us feel right at home with their warm communication. Even though it’s only been two days, it’s so relaxing and comforting to be part of the Central Park East Apartments family. We’re excited to call this ...
