Overview of Luxe At The Highlands
Luxe At The Highlands is an apartment community located at Columbus, OH 43235, USA – within the Bexley area of central Ohio. It offers 1‑bedroom and 2‑bedroom apartments, with lease terms starting from 6 months. The property includes a gym, a swimming pool, and a cinema room among its shared amenities. Based on 126 Google reviews, the property holds an average rating of 4.4 out of 5. Monthly prices range from 1,544 USD to 3,670 USD — indicative, confirm with the operator. This price positions Luxe at the higher end compared to the city’s overall starting price of 695 USD per month for student housing in Bexley (based on 61 properties listed on the platform).
Who This Residence Suits
Tenants who prioritise modern finishes and a strong community atmosphere may find Luxe a good fit. Multiple reviews praise the “clean, stylish, and well put together” environment and highlight the amenities as a major draw. The presence of a pool, gym, and cinema suggests the property caters to residents who want on‑site leisure options without leaving the complex.
Professionals or students who value professional management during the leasing process also benefit. One reviewer, Eena Choi, specifically appreciated the tour experience with a staff member named Courtney, describing her as “naturally amazing” and “super professional and considerate” compared to management teams she encountered in New York City. For tenants who have moved frequently and know the importance of a responsive leasing office, this can be a reassuring signal.
Short‑term renters (minimum 6 months) or those who need flexibility without committing to a full year will find the lease term accommodating. The minimum 6‑month lease is shorter than many conventional apartment leases, which often require 12 months.
Who this residence does not suit:
- Budget‑conscious tenants. At a minimum monthly rent of 1,544 USD, Luxe is more than double the city’s starting price of 695 USD. Even the cheapest unit is priced above the average for Bexley. If your monthly housing budget is under 1,500 USD, you may need to look at other properties or consider sharing a 2‑bedroom unit to lower your individual cost.
- Tenants concerned about move‑out charges. One review (Mikhail Artiukhin) describes a dispute over a 750 USD carpet replacement fee citing pet odour, despite the resident’s written request for documentation. While this is a single review, it suggests that the property management may enforce strict move‑out policies, especially regarding pet‑related damage. If you plan to keep a pet, or want to avoid surprise deductions, you should clarify the move‑out inspection process in writing before signing the lease.
- Those seeking a quiet, low‑amenity environment. If you prefer a simple, no‑frills living space and do not want to pay for shared facilities like a pool or cinema, Luxe’s amenity‑rich model may not provide value for your money.
What Residents Actually Say
The following quotes come directly from Google reviews (all quotes are verbatim as provided by the aggregator):
“I had a tour today with Courtney. She is just naturally amazing I lived in NYC for the past 5‑6 years and moved to OH recently. Since a lot of Newyorkers need to move every year, I’ve had a lot of apartment tour and met the management And I will tell you that I’ve never seen anyone super professional and considerate at” – Eena Choi (5‑star review)
“I toured Luxe recently and was really impressed with the overall vibe of the community. It felt very clean, stylish, and well put together. The amenities were a big highlight, and the staff was welcoming and informative without being pushy. You can tell they take pride in the property. I left with a really positive imp” – Jenna Becia (5‑star review)
“The unit and amenities are fine. The management is the problem. At move‑out the property assessed $750 against my account for carpet replacement, citing pet odor as damage. On written request, management produced the flooring vendor’s invoice. The work was billed by Rite Rug under the line‑item code ‘COLS‑PM‑CPT‑INSTAL” – Mikhail Artiukhin (1‑star review)
These three reviews illustrate a split experience: the majority of reviews (126 total, average 4.4) lean positive, but the negative feedback focuses on management practices during move‑out. When evaluating this property, weigh the risk of move‑out charges against the generally high satisfaction with the community’s look and feel.
Price Positioning and Room Types
- City starting price: 695 USD/month (for student housing in Bexley)
- Luxe price range: 1,544 – 3,670 USD/month (indicative — confirm with the operator)
- Room types available: 1‑bedroom, 2‑bedroom apartments
At the entry level (1,544 USD) a 1‑bedroom unit is approximately 2.2 times the city’s cheapest option. A 2‑bedroom unit, when split between two tenants, could potentially bring individual rent below 1,544 USD (if the price for a 2‑bedroom is, say, 2,400 USD, each person would pay 1,200 USD), but you need to confirm exact 2‑bedroom rates with the operator. Given the maximum price of 3,670 USD, the top‑end units are likely larger or premium layouts.
For prospective tenants: if you need a private bedroom and bathroom, the 1‑bedroom is the obvious choice. If you are open to sharing, a 2‑bedroom may reduce your personal monthly cost, but the total rent will still be well above the city baseline. Always ask for the exact rent for each floor‑plan before committing.
Booking Timing Considerations
- Lease start: no specific availability date is listed; you should enquire about move‑in readiness.
- Minimum lease: 6 months.
- Typical leasing cycle: For properties in central Ohio, demand peaks in late summer (August–September) for the academic year, and again in early spring for summer leases. Since Luxe does not appear to be exclusively student housing, vacancies may occur year‑round.
- Recommended timing: If you are a student targeting a fall 2026 move‑in, start contacting the operator in spring 2026 to secure a unit. For a spring or summer 2026 start, the best time to book is at least 2–3 months before your intended move‑in date. Because the property has a high rating but limited reviews (126), competition for units may be moderate. Early booking reduces the risk of missing your preferred layout.
