I’ve had a great experience living here so far. The leasing staff has been friendly and responsive whenever I’ve had a question or maintenance request, and any issues have been resolved quickly. The community feels safe, the grounds are clean, and there’s plenty of parking available. I really appreciate the amenities like the gym, pool, and package lockers — they’re well-maintained and super convenient.

I enjoy the Essex house. The maintenance is quick and friendly, staff is helpful, and the pool and grounds are beautiful. Parking is plentiful. Central market access from pedestrian gate. My only suggestion would be to update gym and the coffee shop. Otherwise I recommend to all!
