DONT DO IT
April 15, 2025 - Reseña de Apartments.com
Lived here for 6+ years. It had a lot of potential but It's gone completely downhill because management simply doesn't care. One look at how many open units they have will tell you all you need to know.
What are the problems?
-Management.
They have nobody on site from the Essex team working there anymore. They take forever to answer concerns if they do at all. You'll never meet anyone from the office.
-Maintenance
The maintenance and security guys are good (shout out Ricardo) but completely ...
understaffed and treated poorly by Essex. They have 2-3 guys to cover roughly 120 units or more. These are old buildings so plenty can happen.
-Stolen packages.
Relentless theft. 50% of which are done by residents. Essex does nothing about it. Can't be bothered to set up cameras near the mailboxes. After years of resident complaints they made a "secure" mail room with a lock for amazon packages. They still get stolen.
-Mail lockers broken.
Constantly smashed and mail stolen. Both these issues have caused residents to pay a monthly 3rd party to hold their mail. So factory that into the cost.
-Parking.
If you don't pay for underground parking your car will get broken into. If you pay for underground parking. Your car will still get broken into.
-Proper locks.
In some of the buildings the stairwell locks are not secure meaning transients can come into the hallways and set up shop.
-Lack of proper screening.
Since their resident numbers have fallen Essex is very relaxed with screening people in this building. As you'll see in other reviews this has led to issues such as methlabs, illegal casinos, shady AirBNB's, prostitution rings, and more.
-Cameras.
Most don't work. If they do they will never give you the footage. You will have to get the police involved if you want footage
-Trash.
Their trash removal company is ok but they have nobody on site to manage the trash rooms so many times it will pile up. There was a fire in the chute a month ago that filled floors with smoke. They naturally blamed a resident and not the conditions they allow.
-Costs.
Minor fees like trash and software begin to pile up every year. They will begin raising rent on you every year with no improvements to the spaces. So over time you pay more for less. Thats the standard model.
I understand where we live. There are some sketchy people. But the issue is management. They do not care and seems like they have no incentive to improve.
