The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at 7251 at Waters Edge Apartment Homes
If you move into these apartments just know you're moving in to the roaches' apartment-they own it. Bugs are TERRIBLE HERE. It says "heat" but these apartments are heated by the building who doesn't care about tenants freezing in winter. Neighbors smoke Marijuana and cigars and smell comes through the thin walls.. SO GLAD I MOVED OUT, I WON'T MISS IT!!!
I absolutely love the way that the managing staff makes me feel very welcomed and comfortable the maintenance is great I have lived here for a year now and I will not be leaving anytime soon!! Thank you so much for my beautiful apartment !
Property Manager at 7251 at Waters Edge Apartment Homes, Responded To This Review
We are delighted you are loving your home at 7251 Waters Edge! We are so glad that our team has been welcoming and helpful. Thank you and have a lovely day!
Nice view, thin walls, great parking and security at door (not always good, kind of nosy). Roaches are bad too. Okay place but too expensive. Laundry room always dirty also.
I love my apartment ! The view is absolutely amazing and the square footage is beyond reasonable. The closets are like bedrooms and the layout is so stylish. Not only is my apartment amazing ,but the staff are like super heroes . They get things done so quickly , and they even tend to maintenance issues on the spot !!! After a long day at work , I can count on the Michigan Beach Apartments staff to make me laugh and when I finally go to my apartment, I can count on a warm hug of perfection. I would not change this apartment for the world !!
My apartment is located within a 22 story building that sits on South Shore Drive at 7251. I have an apartment on the 17th floor; the northern view allows me to see the beach, Lake Michigan, and the skyline of downtown Chicago. There is round the clock security and building management personnel within the office daily.
