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.

It's a nice little community to live in. People are friendly they have fun little events during holidays and even bingo nights. I wouldn't choose to live anywhere else.

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... place home. Thank you Susan and Richard for all your help!!
