Excellent Place to Live
January 29, 2018I lived at Essex Commons for years and I loved it there. All of the staff were very friendly and professional. My requests for things to be fixed were always done very quickly. I had friendly neighbors. I would still be there if I hadn't bought a home.Review from Apartments.com
