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.

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.

Property Manager at Central Park East, Responded To This Review

We are delighted that our community has become your home. It's wonderful to know that our maintenance team and management have contributed to your positive experience. Your satisfaction and comfort are our top priorities, and we're delighted that you've chosen to be part of our community for so many years.

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.

Living in Central Park East has generally been a positive experience. The location is excellent, with easy access to the highway, which makes daily life much more convenient. The apartment itself is quite comfortable, with a layout that makes good use of the space and allows for good air circulation and natural light. A recent positive change has been the update to the locker entrance, which has improved access and functionality. However, one area that still needs attention in my opinion is security. Although the neighborhood is peaceful, we have had issues with stolen packages. As a suggestion, installing security cameras would further enhance security and provide greater peace of mind for all residents.

New management took over last year. Painting, carpet, general repairs made to common areas and hallways. They use a better quality of suppliers providing outsourced services like janitorial, landscaping and snow removal. Apartments in decent shape. Clean and painted on move in. Pest free. Quite residents. Slightly expensive but slightly above average quality and amenities.

It is a good swimming pool. The gym is a bit small, but there is a lot of training equipment. Recently, there are not enough parking spaces compared to last year.

Apartments are in a nice area, with a spacious layout. Neighbors are friendly, and the community is great. However, prices seem a bit high for what's offered: Some apartments have outdated cabinets, countertops, and bathrooms. Common areas like the lobby and hallways appear dirty and old. Additionally, the clubhouse offers basic amenities, but the fitness center is not well-maintained. It could benefit from more equipment, preferably newer ones.

Recently renewed my lease for 9th year. My apartment setup is very homey. Love garage parking available. One downside is email responses are sometimes slow & general communication is sometimes frustrating...if email addresses numerous questions or topics, email reply often only address part of email. Additionally, often have to prompt office again to receive follow-ups to questions &/or things office said they would look into and then let you know after.

Central Park East Apartments has 99% of everything that you're looking for in an apartment community including the community inwhich it resides in a very pristine residential area apart from all the surrounding city. Amenities meet all standards including in apartment washer and dryer, and the maintenance crew has very high ratings because they always do their job. 1% of the negative aspect of the community is that the rent increases every year and sometimes very high. I have been here 10 years though and it is worth the money.

Apartment,maintenance and management are excellent. I am very pleased with my apartment from all angles.I only have one observation which I would like to mention and that is the fact that it is extremely difficult to regulate the heat in the middle of winter. Others may not have that problem but I sure did. The apartment is relatively small and a blast of hot air heats the place very quickly then your choice is either put up with it or turn it off.
